Someone should make a heli-dog fight map

If you remember coral sea from 1942, im thinking that but with light attack helicopters

PLA vs. MEC big empty mountainous region, airbase at each corner with unlimited respawning light attack helis. stick a handful of AA cannons around the bases, and maybe some randomly placed ones on the map for people who choose to hop in them.

pure war of attrition, basically tossing reality aside for a map that would be great fun. and easy to make for someone who knows how (im assuming)

it would be great fun to make this and try to organize a "dogfight night" in the community... get everyone whose interested together and have us all download the map (and have a server host it)

battle to see who the best pilots in pr are.

anyone interested?

theres lots of custom maps like this and they are all, rather dull... we did have them in a PR map pack for like v0.2 i thinks and all the players agreeded it just did not suit pr one bit.

im not really suggesting this as something that should be implemented or played on a large basis at all, more something that every now and then the community could organize an "air battle" on the forums and we could all load up the map and have a good time dogfighting. definitely a niche thing.

im sure it would be dull as hell in a regular rotation, but every now and then i can certianly see a group of 15-30 enjoying it. and imo, a 15v15 light heli fight would be great fun event

i used to play and have alot of fun with the air maps mod for bf2, great place to learn how to fly, but i love the PR helicopter physics/characteristics much more than the vanilla, so this would be great fun

Helicopters should not dogfight. Its very vanilla, and stupid. It was all I did for my clan in BFV 2 years ago. It was stupid.

It does sound cool.
Helo's do dogfight so a map with only dogfighting would be great for pratice and like caustic said, it's just for fun.
On the other hand, can you imagine wht this map would be like on OSF or CDU's servers ?

But you'd win, Mongol. Everytime.

again, like ive said, im not saying this is something to be realistic in any means, what im saying is i love the way the light attack helos fly in PR, therye much more fun to fly around and fight with than vBf2's cobra.

its great fun to dogfight on mao valley, and im just thinking that on a larger scale, stepping outside of the project reality universe for a moment, just using the mod as a base for some fun battlefield gaming

eughhh, i hate heli dogfighting with a passion. Its circle strafing waste of time. However ive yet to see how it works with the new Heli mouted AA missiles.

Air maps, were cool on bf1942, i feel with such fast jets now, even 4k maps would feel limited. And jet combat now is too buggy.

Would be fun if it was just littlebirds filled with support and shotguns soldiers shooting each other.

We've done it in PR 0.3' steel thunder once, of course it's just joking but it was fun as hell

I'll post the video if I ever find it.

It'll probably not happen, but if it does, should only run in a specific server though.
