Idea for 1.0

Add MC-130 Combat Talon as USMC Transport Aircraft. House 6-14 guys (2 Squads and a pilot, plus tail operator, give it the ability to kick out a DPV o 2 (Desert Combat Stylue). All players who spawn get a parachute.

Then Add Sea Stallion, Huey, or mod MH-6 and MH-60 for fastroping. I realize this is a lot of coding, but would be sweet.

Fastroping is not on the agenda right now as far as I know maybe after 1.0 comes out plus MC-130 will probaly not be added due to numerous issues that it raises.

That MC-130 idea can be seen as brilliant, but there is one
current flaw:

Parachutes.

As of now, parachutes are unrealistically portrayed with their
man use deviating from that of their purpose. Sure, jumping
off of buildings is fun, but being able to magically deploy a
parachute that saves you from imminent death is just plain
ridiculous. Normally, you would have to jump from a higher
altitude, and I think that's over one hundred feet.

But, there are some positive things about the rest of the idea:

• Put players in charge of delivering supply drops and vehicles.
• Makes it an asset to the team when desperately needed supplies are placed in the hands of your comrades.
• Possibly even add the ability to provide fire support on a given location.

And you are right, it could take a lot of coding, plus modeling
that huge bird. But, with something as huge as the MC-130,
I recommend it only be put on custom maps that are built
for atleast sixty-four players. Then, we also need to come
up with an equivalent for the MEC and China, because I
doubt that they will use the same aircraft.

Of course, all this could be applied to something like a
brand new helicopter such as the Chinook, and MI-17
cargo transports.
