Would be cool if right clicking while in the pilot seat could drop a range rover or humvee like a supply crate

Maybe they brought back Mobile Spawning for it?

Just make it so they cant recharge or they can only drop 2 vehicles in a game. Else it would be total vehicle spammage or maybe even the cartillery from bf2

then it must be actevated a sort of spead limit, so nobody use the vehicels as bombs!! I like the idea really much. But it should be refueld with another vehicel after landing, one vehicel one chopper.

Mag linking a good number of crates and vehicles could be cool, that was my suggestion


But various ideas are being looked into, theres really a good amount of choices available, even some new novel ones that could prove interesting,, but who knows[surely someone does] heh.

I think its been suggested before though, but Ill let Smeg find the thread and we'll see if its still unlocked ;)

'[R-DEV wrote:Eggman']Would be nice to see if there's a creative way to work around the *mesh* limitations of 8 ppl. As in the cockpit could be a seperate mesh for 2 people and the passenger area could be a seperate mesh for 8 ppl. Always wanted to see if this could be made workable, but not sure if ti can be hacked in.
I still hope for this :)

when eggman last tried it he failed with this theory but I plan on trying it myself again once the Chinook is done, maybe before :p

The Chinook ingame will not carry any vehicles since ye it can in r/l but in r/l it needs to be under slung and it would not be dropped off in a combat zone and used in a few secs after landing like it would be in game if we did this. If this was a Sci-Fi game, trust me one of the biggest things I would want is a transport that could carry an assault vehicle with it, IMO its something that is going to happen in the near future as I can see it as a very effective tactic. But that is beside the point as we are talking about todays combat.

Excellent! Yeah, get a sober mind on the issue. ;) If you figure it out, it's no telling the reach it can have. Why stop with 10 passengers..
Just lay off the drugs Rhino, and im sure you'll find a solution. :D

We had this idea for a long time to let it spawn a Jeep or LSV when on the ground and pressing fire for the jeep and alt. fire for crates.

Keep in mind if they succeed it must have one hell of a loading time to reload the jeep at base!

it isn't that hard to do you just do it the same way as you "fire a crate" from a truck, just replace the crate projectile with a jeep...

and you wouldn't be able to change the reload time, it would be the same reload as a crate.

What about an if it could drop an Expering team wide Rally point?

That way, large numbers of troops can be moved across the battlefield; just as would be possible with a real chinook. Perhaps this RP could be limited to a timer or a number of spawns (such as 55 or a little less, as I belive this is around the ammount of troops they can carry).

The problems would be:
- Players would have to have died, or that the would have just started to get this affect.
- Players spawning would not dismount with requested kits, as they would IRL. A fix would be requesting kits from chinooks.
- After the chopper has taken off, it means players can still spawn. With a spawn/time limit, around 55 troops would be dropped anyway; meaning no infinite troops from a single area.
- If the RP is immediately routed/proximity destroyed by 3 close hostiles, a full 55 troops cannot disembark to combat them; as opposed to losing the RP and not being able to spawn.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Alternative
Players would be able to spawn within the seats of the chinook; however with a limited spawn count.

Every spawning player would deduct 1 point/ammo count from the vehicle. Simply "reloading" at a helipad would allow further players to spawn on it; simulating an RTB to collect more troops.

ye we have had that idea also mong but not something we are looking at doing, if you think about it with it being able to deploy 2 supply crates it would be possible to build a firebase or bunker strait off the LZ area and then you have a permanent spawn there ;)
