4 ammo crates for chinook

[charliegrs]

simple suggestion, just give the chinook 4 crates instead of the 1 the other choppers carry. this way it can offload 2 crates to 2 different locations so 2 firebases can be built. it would definitly add more functionality to the chinook. or atleast give it 2 if not 4.

[Rudd]

I dunno

3 maybe, 1 FB and a supply run

or maybe a crate that resupplies vehicles

4 seems a little excessive, or at least we should see what its like with 2, I mean we don't actually know how many chinooks are going to be on a map at a time do we?

I like the idea of 2 build crates + 1 vehicle rearming crate.

[Rhino]

we plan 2, no more. 4 would mean the chopper could essentially get 2 FOs built on its own before returning to base... too much, 1 is more than enough.

[General_J0k3r]

like teh idea with 2 crates. i'll be bob the builder next update

[Jonathan_Archer_nx01]

Let it spam crates everywhere.

2 is certainly fair. I wonder if there will be compromises with the Chinhook for being so awesome. Max spawn (I've been led to believe we have about 8 IRL), longer spawn....of course the size is quite a compromise when many bullets are flying in the direction.

I can't wait to shoot at it

[Levesly]

2 crates sounds enough. But will it get chance to use them, surely the thing will be the biggest bullet magnet on the map

Be cool if you could pick up light vehicles with it.

Would solve all the abandoned Humvees and trucks all over the map. Would be a godsend on Kashan which always turns into a light vehicle boneyard. Probably impossible to program however.

From what I'm reading here, half the people on the server would rather watch it flying than shoot it

(Uhm, yea, half the people on a server are friendlies anyway...)

Uhm... 2 crates sounds okay.

Picking up vehicles is impossible.

Though it could spawn a vehicle in addition to the crates. A simple jeep. Only one at a time. But I guess the problem is: what happens to the jeep when another jeep is dropped? Instant explosion? Seems impossible to do, too.

Well it would explode if the helo pilot didn't move forward or the troops that are in the area didn't move the first jeep?

There's another thread discussing what the Chinook's loadout's gonna be - https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f18-pr ... icles.html. Probably best to keep it all in 1 thread and perhaps re-name the other one to something more general.

I agree!

[Scot]

But the fact it is a huge machine compartively makes it not unbalanced IMO, maybe not 4, but 2.

True, it would be like the difference between targeting an apc vs a tank.

[Tomato-Rifle]

cant wait to fly that chinook!!!!! 2 crates are good

[pclipse_teh_owner]

I think 3 is good.

[AnRK]

More then 2 would be a little silly I think for reasons already stated by Rhino.

Anyway, MOD guys, any chance we can get some sort of merge or lock on one of the Chinook threads? Otherwise the discussions gonna get kinda messy.
