Sounds like you just want to not have to worry about losing your chopper, simply put have someone guard the main base, US already has allot of advantages over the Taliban/Insurgent teams. The US team is already lazy enough when ever I an there to base rape them they are always jumping around on the helipad acting like noobs instead of watching over the base.

Besides there are only a few spots where you can park a tech and take out the choppers, if you want some base defense don't lock your 2 man chopper squad grab a few more people and ask them to defend the base with HAT's LMG's. If you actually have people defending the two directions they can come from its really hard to park up there and open fire on them helis without getting killed.

Actually you have to wait till it takes off the pad to start shooting as it repairs while on the pad so it makes it allot harder to shoot it while its on the ground.

Also the Choppers are most vulnerable when taking off/landing that's when you should always try to kill them.

But am I wrong, is the point of this thread not because you don't want to stand around for 15 minutes only to have your chopper blown up before you get to fly? 2 people defending the base is more than enough to stop a unarmored truck from attacking.

He was talking to me, Also I like Outlawz Idea about puting the choppers inside the hanger, change the hangers facing direction so they can't be shot into and the problem with choppers being killed while empty will be solved, if they decide to bring there choppers out into the open while its not safe its there own fault.

its actually primarily cuz I get bored out of my skull as Taliban because they lose their choppers and stop coming. Now take my point about putting words in my mouth. I have stated why I'd like this change. So stop assuming a blufor loving n00b, I want a fun game. For Taliban that does not mean shooting choppers on the pad - at least for me.

I don't fly on Archer, I don't like it because I'm not good at landing there.

50cal to chopper on the pad will still destroy it very quickly, lets not pretend like they are invincible.

I support baserape on INS servers, its a unique if not realistic aspect of those games. Archer is a bit different imo because teh mainbase is just so easy to attack because of the highground.

I can tell you nick that Rudd isnt the guy who we all think of when we hear a suggestion to extend chopper life :)

Rudd's right tho, as soon as the choppers are down on Archer, the US dont come anymore... And that makes the taliban game turn in to a waiting game.

Well I think all insurgency maps should NOT have a big dome of death since it would add alot of realism with a squad defending the main so it isnt so 1337z0r3.
