almost every time i read through a post some one tends to bring up fastroping from a black hawk, and yet they are told that it cant be done, so why do people bother to bring it up again and again?

It's something of an inside joke around here, at this point.

It's Black Hawk Down

Most people suggest it because they saw it in Black Hawk Down.

I asked about it (a loooooooong time ago) because on another forum somebody said that PR had it.

Behind Enemy Lines had a scene with fastroping? I don't recall... Unless you mean in the second one, which I haven't seen.

there was a second one ?
This is the Bosnia movie with Owen " I won't get my nose fixed " Wilson ?
The ridiculous AA missiles and the court martial rescue ?

Just a pile of guys jumping from a plane with loads and loads of cheesy moments.

The first one sucked too.

The list of good military movies is surprisingly short.

BHD, BoB, SPR, and that's about it.

Fastropes are used in real life and would be very useful in PR. Unfortunately nobody has figured out a way to make them work so we don't get them.

ArmedDrunk&Angry · Post by **ArmedDrunk&Angry** » 2007-07-22 02:19

I think even if you could get it to work AND the rotors had a collision mesh or whatever so landing near buildings would actually be dangerous fast roping would still suck and really just invite RPG practice from the other team.
Besides, at this point both BHD and fast roping put my iconoclastic tendencies into high gear.

Just land on a roof with ladders. The soldiers would be more protected too.
