chopper damage

[dagoober]

i was just flying a black hawk around on a training map and i was shot down by a MG. so i was thinking, if its shooting just the sides wouldent that just put holes in it? not blow it up? so i was wondering if you could make only certain parts of choppers make it take damage like the engine, tail etc. and make some parts like the rotors take alot of damage wen shot. like on infantry a headshot does alot of damage and a lower mass shot wont cause as much damage.

just an idea to make it more realistic.

missed point post is missed point

what i think he means gazz is that hitting the valuable parts will make it take damage quicker, like shooting a tank in the rear does more damage then the front.

though i thought something like that already existed for choppers too

and when you say shot down by a MG do you mean a .50cal or a LMG?

yea i totally missed the point.

it is totaly possible to add diffrent materials for diffrent areas on choppers and you could adjust the damage for each one.

@gazz, it is like the tank, If you shoot it in the front it takes more hits then the back.

While this a resuggestion, i challange anyone to find the first post. i remember way back reading a thread with something similar. But i dont think it went anywhere, and it was 0.7

Maybe things have changed?

We certainly can hope .

As for the suggestion itself, I like it. With the proper tweaking it could add a nice factor of realism to the game and make us re-think our chopper assault possibilities.
