This is a great idea it would really make the game more realistic i hate when the choppers hit and blow up there are the few times when you can land a escape but the explsoin form the chopper usually kills you, so this would really add to the game.

I think it would also be cool if after the helo passed over the critical point (1000) if it began to yaw uncontrollable as it would in real life with the tail rotor damaged but the main rotor still maintaining most of its rotational velocity. (just go watch the black hawk down crash sequence YouTube - Black Hawk Down).

this is not right If a tank hits a Heli in the tail with a round it would just blow the tail off sending it into a spin to the ground it would not just go pop now if it was a heat round in the side door hit the gas line it might go pop

TANKS needs there shot gun shells i forget what there called but they need them

Canister shells? That's what they're called in CoH, dunno if that's an old name or the name of an old design though, kinda surprised they still use that kinda thing (assuming your correct ).

Nice effect though, but does it still occur when the heli is moving at speed? You said something about the damage being greater but can it still happen? Very good job though man, woulda been nice if you didn't get someone to RPG the pilot after ward though, doesn't advertise the positive effect of it very well

Being heli crashes are survivable in real life could we just make the crew and passengers would be stunned, so if the opfor acted quickly enough they could take out everyone. Still hurt the people inside a bit but not to the point of bleeding out instantly.

Great idea, but ou must not survie to all crashes, 1 shell of tank hitting the hello would be instakill.

Simple change for epic thing... I'd really like this, especially for transport choppers.

Anyway, as a 'PR pilot' I certainly support this motion.

It should depens on where to tanks hits you, if its the tail the no heli shold go down.but main body then yes

No really, If it's heat Heli would just blow up instanatly, with AP the whole tail section would go off and heli would be splashed to ground by the shock and pressure. Really tank shell must insta-kill heli

That does make sense but it should be like a long crash or something like the heli is thrown sideways to the ground

Very well put togeather suggestion Mabey At critical damage the aircraft Feathers ( rotor spins ) down to the ground then blows up 5 seconds after impact

lol i like the music lol.

good idea

The G's the way it is would still kill everyone inside. If you change the hitpoints to 2000, however, and set cirtical to 800-1000, it would be much more balanced.

Me likes this idea, more blackhawk Down case scenarios.

Nice scenaridos..but if you can crash-land the choppper, Gs shouldnt kill you i guess...

Good suggestion, would make a more blackhawkdownish kind of situations.

Great Suggestion, I Approve
extend the time by about 2 seconds for the helicopter to explode and your fine.

It's health based, but the settings I did for the video were just for demonstration.

all I can do is shower you with kudos!

Could there be massive tickets for a lost pilot? I mean losing a pilot is very expensive for the military! It takes time and alot of money to train a pilot. If you increase amount of ticket loss for pilots it could develop into a competition between teams. 1 side trying to save the pilot and the other trying to kill him.

Plus i like the idea of a blackhawk crashing with a full squad surviving. A true blackhawk down scenario where all the insurgents in the city are coming down on the pilot and that squad.
