Hello,
I have searched for these keywords Kiowa, Kokan, rearming, bug and couldn't find any result related to this bug.

Description:
Sometimes when flying in Kokan, You won't be able to rearm for some reason.

Steps to Reproduce:
Unknown

Screenshots / Video:
None

Tested On:
Kokan, Insurgency, ]CIA[ 24/7 Kokan

-map name: Kokan
-game mode: Insurgency
-server name: ]CIA[ 24/7 Kokan

You can fix it this if you leave the helicopter and get in again.

Again, I apologize if this is a known bug.

Cheers,

What exactly happens, you land/hover on the pad and the numbers don't go up?

I am not sure, But AFAIK, You won't rearm at all, Even if you were there for a minute and tried to shoot the minigun, It won't work since you have no ammo at all.

I think what might be happening is the same thing with the coaxial or main gun on tanks, where the driver and everyone else sees it firing, but the actual person operating it doesn't.

Try every layer with each chopper and see if that changes anything.

Also sometimes it seems or is not repairing you can see the smoke getting worse then it just burns down. On the helipad.

Exactly! I was a Co-Pilot in the Kiowa about a week ago and the same thing had happened to the pilot!
He told me that its not repairing... I told him to try to leave the chopper and get in, But he didn't here me or something and then the chopper began to burn!

What do you mean with layer?

BUMP...

He means weapon slot.

Layer is probably the 64, 32 and 16 player versions, also known as standard, alternative and skirmish

What Hexey said.

Oh, I tried it in Standard... Not many servers run alternative so I can't test it there and as I said, This bug can't be anticipated, It randomally happens...
Also, Another bug that happens is that I have 7 rockets and when I try to shoot any of them,
I will hear the empty gun sound and see nothing happening!
I am not sure if it's just me who doesn't say the rockets or they don't shoot at all.

Yesterday I was flying in Kokan and got hit intermedietly bad
However, When I landed, My chopper could rearm but not repair...
I had to get out of it and reget in for it to repair...
This happened 3 times in less than 20 minutes!

There is a "bug" which means you won?t see the repair icon (but it does repair) unless you get out and back in again once. Happens on pretty much all vehicles I think.

Some days ago again in Kokan a bomb car blew up in main destroing one of the helis. just at is spawned.The other survived but was smoking badly.Not only the chopper couldn't repair on the helipad(hasn't been moved from there since it spawned) and the smoke was getting worse, then i drove a logi truck and dropped a repair station.Fine when entered inside it i saw yhe repair icon what a relief but after 2 mins when i was fully repaired and when i tried to take off the controls where still fucked up(heli disabled).I tried everything to fix it landed on other helipads, landed in the fields near main and bring the repair station but no the controls would remain damaged and i'm sure the heli was completley fixed because when i landed on the helipads i got a little damaged and i saw the repair icon for a brief time.

I have quite a few hours count with the game kiowa and I can say that there is no serious drawback to it. Just the 50. cal is too accurate.

It does repair but as previously pointed out you don't see the repair icon. A big problem is that it takes sooo looong to repair (like 5 min if it is badly damaged).

Also to fix the rearming bug switch between the hydra rockets and the flare count number. Works for me atleast.

Tip: Try to land as close to the H of the pad as possible because it doesn't work from 1 meter away.
Tip 2: If the kiowa is badly damaged (burning) when RTB for repairs don't land immediately. The landing skids are bugged and the chopper will take the last bit of damage enough to destroy itself. Hover for 2 seconds over the H instead.
