Medical Helocopters

Ok guys i serched and found nothing. What if we had a Blackhawk or the team helo for all factions with a Red Cross on it. It could hold 1 pilot, 2 passengers. It would have no guys. Also anyone in it would be healed and will get a 10 seconds added to there spawn time to make it seem they got sent back to base and not just flown around the map as they got healed.

What do you think?

dunno about the spawn time increase, but i like the idea of a medical evac chopper, where ONLY medics can spawn on it? (if thats possible?)

Good idea but...

How would you prevent ppl from shooting them down. How would you prevent it from abusing it like delivering troops behind enemy lines claiming its a medical evacuation dont shoot me. This is very dodgy/tricky

It would be a good idea but since we have respawns after 30+ seconds and medics on the field (usually), I can't see a use for it.

I wouldn't use it for an extra ten seconds of respawn. Usually the helis would be mis-used and not available when needed.

Medivacs and Medical Helicopters/vehicles has been suggested and disgussed before, however i didnt find anything on searches i just know for a fact.

I belive the dev's answer was, it wont do anyone no good as the limitation of people is 32 per team, it would just be easier to havea medic in the squad.. plus the helicotper would probaly not reach the point at time without being killed in enemy fire

You could make it so, that it kills anyone with other kit then pilot or medic. And to get healed, wounded people should stand next to it when landed, same as with the ammo from humvees.

you can already have a medic helicopter.... just have a medic in your heli squad and have him ride in the gun.... when someone calls for evac, have the medic sit in one of the back seats and he will autoheal anyone getting in.

as youll notice, there is not much point in a medic chopper right now cause no one generally flys in a transport once a round is underway.... this will hopefully change in the future but the point remains, putting all this extra effort into something that is essentially already in game is time better spent improving gameplay elsewhere.
