Good for realism Yes, but wouldn't it make the heli's even harder to fly WELL, just imagine your potential LZ's on Muttrah?
Transport heli's seem already to have a hard enough life to me....

Some time ago I did try adding just a col mesh as a child object to the chopper that was not spinning but for some really odd reason I'm not sure it refused to work... could get a col0 added (what projectiles hit) but not a col1 (what determines if the vehicle hits anything while moving)
To get it to work you would most likley need to edit the chopper's main col mesh in order to add the rotor col to it which for vBF2 choppers isn't really an option unless we want to crate new cols for them from scratch. For our choppers wouldn't be too much of an issue would just need a modeller/exporter to spend some time on it but we can't have 1/2 the choppers ingame with a rotor col and the others without it, has to be all or nothing
I think that response gave me some hope to expect in the future

that would at least mean more realistic LZs
yes, like I said in my posts but you can only do that by editing the main vehicles col mesh and not via adding a child object on since it doesn't work and editing the main vehicles col mesh isn't really an option for the vBF2 vehicles without remaking there cols from scratch.
