Question on PR Helo?

JBMCW2010 · Post by **JBMCW2010** » 2007-10-14 04:43

I play BF2 and currently I am downloading PR, school connection so I expect this to take roughly 2 days. I am curious about the Transport Helo, in regular BF2 it has 6 slots, pilot, 2 gunners, 3 door seats. Are they the same in PR? Or is it 7 slots because that would make sense for a transport helo to be able to transport an entire squad correct?

PS I hope this is the proper location for this post, I didn't see a question forum so I thought the Air Tact would be my best bet. Sorry if it is though.

The blackhawk in PR has definitely 7 slots, same goes for the other transport helos IIRC.

PS: Welcome to the forum!

ok awesome, that makes the transport actually make sense as a transport. Oh download would you finish.

Make sure to practise flying on a half empty server, the aircraft all fly very different

Amen to that. There are some pretty new pilots out there in servers where a successful transport could turn the tide and win the game for the team.... but instead they don't know how-to fly and just crash us. You better practice it good, or else.... HUMILIATION!!!!

Before you get into the cockpit, I have found a lot of the guides on this forum very helpful, study them and you will pick up loads of tips on flying in Project Reality in both Choppers and Planes.

Possible PM some of the guys that wrote the guides if you have any questions, some times they are no help what so-ever, other times they will give you some really good hints.

Taking off in the planes on BF2 is easy, landing them is the next step, but surviving a dog fight is a completely different ball game. Get into the air with an experience pilot and spar, after about 100 re-spawns you will be able to compete with him.

I hope this post makes sense, I am hoping to make a thread here summarising all of the aircraft tactics people have talked about eventually.

Thanks,

Joel

They have 8 slots in v0.7

omg, 8 slots? is that due to removing 5ton/Apc spawn and other mechanic changes? or is it so you that you can have a medic/engi/CO/bule hitch a ride?

Was it difficult to get the extra spot in there? I thought it wasn't possible?? Obviously it is but was it unusually difficult?

@ OP: Welcome to the froums!

but first, make sure u practice flying the helo on an empty server or near empty one, plus read some of the guides they have, PR helos are ALOT different compared to vbf2

fuzz, thank you for the info

I find flying the BH is almost like flying the BH in the vannila version of BF2, only it's a bunch faster and half as responsive. It's not too hard if your a good pilot on the regular BF2. Although no matter how good you are it'll still take a little bit of practice/getting use to.

The littlebird actually behaves like a vBF2 chopter

Its much more unstable

Hope you enjoy really fast choppers. Unlike vBf2 in Pr they go alot faster and cannot be turned by the tail roter unless in a hover.

I know I probably have horrible spelling right now, but I just woke up so.
