Ever seen choppers land on a slightly uneven ground, and when they take off they rocket downhill before going up? And if its not an experienced pilot, most likely crash? (it happens to the good ones too)

This happens because choppers have way too little mass. So they accelerate like crazy, turn on a dime, and make them super easy to crash. You can have a large top speed, but slow acceleration.

Take what the Devs did for the tanks. They accelerate super slowly now, and take forever to stop. This is because they have a lot of mass - so they feel really heavy. A Chinook should feel the same way. Plus it will look way better (ie more realistic) when you see choppers landing and taking off

thoughts?

I don't do physics, would this make choppers much harder to pilot?

Is that really wise considering its hard enough for some people already? (what with all the scrubs crashing them all the time)

Can't have truely realistic flight handling in bf2 iirc

as far as i know CA has some nice ''physic's'' for choppers aswell as operation peacekeaper has for their huey's.
Atleast it gives me the immersion im flying a ''real'' chopper

I would be easier to pilot. Most crashes happen when the chopper flies at rocket speed in any one particular direction its tilted towards. By adding mass or momentum to them you can tip them, but they would accelerate slower, so you can correct the trajectory and not crash.

Yeah acceleration is way off...


Unfortunately its can never be that good but its much improved in my personal files, especially with a certain heli, testing what can be done.

Its just a bit of work.
