It would be a great idea if it would work :lol: However, I don't think anything would happen from it unfortunately :(

That would work, however I think with the back opened the person might fly out and die if the pilot is moving fast and if they didn't have a parachute.

I know I'm a little off topic here, but some of the wealthier PR players need to hire a lobbyist to work EA/DICE in order to get some favors for the PR team. Hell, it works in Washington. Get some lobbyist to take the DICE team sport fishing in Mexico on a mega-yacht full of beautiful women, and before you know it, you've got all the seats you want in that Chinook and 128 players per server to fill them.

Now all we need is a pile of money!

It does in reality and we all now it can be made, maybe a bit more lag but reality first!

It was removed off the merlin for a reason ;)

Its not about a little bit more lag, its a lot more lag. There is a very good reason why that feature was removed unfortunately.

In addition PR is about realistic gameplay, not ultimate equipment realism.

Because there can only be 1 dynamic ramp mechanism per game, so they took it off the merlin to put on the chinook.

I was just thinking and not sure if this is possible but what if you removed the collision mesh from the ramp or the inside? Would that make it so that people standing would slide to the back without dieing or would they just slide through?

They would slide through, and the ramp having a col mesh is not the only thing that would cause you to die.

I'll bump to this to ask a question since i havent heard it mentioned and nobody ingame seemed to know, can the chinook back door be close and opened or does it just stay as it is?

i wish they would move the view down about an inch so you could see through the foot windows. it's hard to land that thing guessing where the ground is.

Didnt read through all 6 pages, but anyone else notice the Chinook has like no brakes when it lands? I was playing around with it on Archer today and felt like I kept sliding forward about 20ft everytime i landed, and it was super easy to go in reverse.

just come straight down, it's going to roll forward if you land with forward momentum

My thoughts exactly.

And one more thing: chinook pilot can trap his passengers inside just by dropping a crate and people won't be able to get out since the only exit is blocked :wink:

uhm... actually, forget about it. I tested it again and looks like the only ones who can't leave chinook with blocked ramp are pilot and co-pilot (F1-F2 seats). The rest of the passengers just spawn 8-10m in front of the heli (screenshot).
