I'd like to see large transport planes in PR.

Large transport planes that act as a mobile spawn point (Battlefield Vietnam had a few maps with this) and once you exit the plane, it automatically deploys a parachute, so there is no more free falling and pulling the parachute 10 feet from the ground.

Paradrops with an actual plane or planes would be a lot of fun.

Anyways, I thought it would be lots of fun. Like have a map that is a paradrop map with actual planes.

Viking, it seems to me you just go around telling people everything is hard coded.

First of all, the transport planes can essentially act as flying APCs, the maps with these could give all kits parachutes (and it'll be a relatively flat desert map or such, so you won't see players reusing their parachutes in silly ways a la vBF2.

Secondly, it is quite possible to make it so once you eject from the transport it parachutes you automatically. Thats not hard coded at all. You have no imagination.

And the plane could fit a pilot and 7 players. Since its a mobile spawn point, how many players can fit in it is not an issue. Plus you'd have like two of these planes.

Except the amount of people that ride in it would be maxed out at 8 people, including the pilot. So you only really get to transport 7 people at a time.

Please use the search function in the future, though. This has been suggested many other times with additional suggestions such as "co-pilot can click a button to 'fire' (deploy, like an ammo bag) a vehicle out the rear of the plane or another button for supply crates"
