Ahhh the flashbang blur and acid-trippin' view... the fix for just about everything needed in PR.

Remember how in the first EoD the tail rotors of the Hueys would be knocked out once you got to low health and you spun around like crazy?

Something like that would be nice it happened with enough health left so you could take a rough landing and get out intact.

No body seems to be mentioning that with the heavy Military helos you can lose your tail rotor and as long as you're going at a decent clip keep going straight... I was told by a buddy who flies helos for a living that this happens very often. It's in ArmA and the first time this happened to me I was like "WTF, there are no enemies around!!!" but then I realized I lost it a while back and was just flying normal without it.

Anyway, I say we should be able to lose out rotor then if we can somehow gain enough speed continue on as if normal, just with vibration or somthing.

IRL if a Chopper loses somthing important ie Tail Roter. All the Pilots and anyone inside can do is Brace for the Impact of Hitting the Ground or if there lucky water. A Pilot in a Chopper shoudnt be able to bail as Choppers do not have Ejection Seats (except the Ka-50 Family) Id just accept it so you Crash and Die or Crash and Live and Respawn with your Kit instantly Beside your Chopper slightly hurt just for the Fun of waiting for a Evac that will never Come.

How do you eject from the Ka-50? Does it drop you out the bottom or something?

i remember in one of usi's test builds a long *** time ago we tested a thing where the chopper would go into a spin after a certain amount of damage... dunno if its still in though.

Ka-50 blows away the main rotor first I think.

i'd Love to See this Implemeted into the game, altough at times i've had to make some sever crash landings with people on board as a few too many hits it gets way too hard to control, best thing to do is try to land !

nothing gets the adrenaline going Like Surviving a heli crash into a load of trees with all your team mates intact hehe

[offtopic] The Ka-50 Family Eject by Blowing all the Roters then after a Short Delay the Pilots Eject, this has been Proven to Reduce Casulties by 100% [/offtopic]

This has to be solved as with now when a Helicopter starts to Shake Violently and im no where near my Base all i can think is: "Get on the Ground now!" But Sometimes when i lose everything i end up Hitting the Ground Dieing as i Refuse to bail with alot of TKs. All id accept would when we hit the Ground we are put near the Wreck slightly Hurt or maybe 1 or 2 Dead.

Good idea, we need something like that, the effects and such. I remember one game I was looking at the map, and I saw one a helicopter spinning out of control. Not that looked great, just like the scene in black hawk down. Along with the "I´m down" "yeah, I just saw it on the map, looked so cool"!
