Helicopter-Plane

I didn't find anything directly related.

I got this idea when i saw the SF-kit debate thread. Like many others, I think that the marines and the SF mixed together is pure unrealistic stupidness, however i totally support the kit and can't afford to lose it! If the SF kit gets limited (keep the m4, regain the soflam (and the possibility to mark enemytargets for direct airstrikes from friendly planes, and not just the "enemy spotted" which dissapear in 10 secs, is this possible?) and get a PARACHUTE! So they can undetected chute behind enemy lines, and sabotage/destroy objectives. Since this is an reality mod, it would be stupid to chute from the Black Hawk... Therefor i suggest the glorious HELI-PLANE!.. (CV-22 Osprey?) please correct me and the up-to-date-model.
Takes off as a helicopter, flies like a plane! Wouldn't that be something? :D

What i had in mind:

Where have you been? Under a rock?

Osprey is already made.

You can parachute from a BH.

"Super leet SpecOp recon kits" have been suggested before.

Have a nice day.

Cool! In what version will it come?

Yes, I know I can both chute from the BH (just not what SF usually do) and I was quoting from the SF-debate thread to improve my point about the need of an Osprey.

That would be up to the DEVs.

i know PR isnt based durring current times but in the near future but in the begining of iraq spec-ops did work side by side with regular units,i dont think they do any more how ever

Do SF still have a parachute in-game? Seems weird.

No they don't, only pilots!

Indeed. As it should be.

Think creativly about your insertions, not just "lets drop directly on top of the objective 'cos I'm too lazy to walk"

Vikingo, I thought that Ospray was a joke?

I doubt it, not if the DEVs are trying to tweak it.

Oh my, yes.

Just wish it was possible to decrease/increase the space/room on the map for certain vehicles and classes... would fixed and balanced quite a bit.

It was on the Project Reality Proving Grounds, a map that can be found when you create a local server in the Beta...

It was on proving grounds.

Which jet in the first vid? The one he's flying is a Q-5 "fantan", a Chinese attack jet.
