Project Reality Forums

Sorry this is posted here not in the suggestions forum, but I'm new to the PR forums so my post count isn't high enough to post there.
First suggestion: I play as an attack helo pilot/gunner most of the time and I find it frustrating that if I get shot down I am unable to defend myself. This is even more annoying considering that 90% of the times I get shot down it's deep in enemy territory or in an area densely populated by enemies (which is usually why I got shot down in the first place).
I am under the impression that pilots IRL would be armed with a carbine or small weapon ie. L22A2 or MP5 etc. in case of these situations. So why not in PR?
Second suggestion, I'm pretty certain this isn't in game but I'm not sure: Don't recoilless weapons i.e. most shoulder fired missiles (excluding javelins) have some pretty nasty back blast? Why isn't this in PR?

1st: The pilots sidearm has been removed for a reason. Before it's been removed we had "Airborne-Squads" on every map with a chopper. These squads usually wasted assets and tickets. Of course it's not realistic to send out a pilot without giving him some tool to defend himself in case of trouble, but unfortunately the immaturity of some players made it necessary.

2nd: According to the ***-Thread this has been suggested before and will maybe done in a future release.

3rd: Just because your postcount isn't high enough doesn't mean you should post somewhere else, but that's none of my business. Just an advice.

Pilot need at least pistol. Nobody send pilot with out self defense weapons. And ban thews airborne squads.

The reason you need certain post numbers to be able to post suggestions, is to learn the basics.

Among those are, do a search for earlier suggestions so that you dont post a re-suggestion.
