Project Reality Forums

Im guessing this has been discussed before, but i did a search and couldnt find anything. Im just wondering if it would be possible to transport certain vehicles using Helicopters and or Trucks. Being able to transport vehicles such as Inflatable River Boat Rafts, Desert Patrol Vehicles(DPV), and other smaller vehicles. Because nothing would be cooler then strapping a River Boat Raft on the bottom of a UH-60 Blackhawk and loading the Blackhawk up with some guys and dropping them and the raft off in a river in the middle of marsh. Also stuff like dropping off a DPV to some friendlies who need one would be awsome.

I don't see why not. That POS BFV allowed for it to be done. Although sometimes the helicopters could lift items way too heavy.

yeah i doubt if a huey could lift an apc, a chinook probably could though

We'll definatley be looking into that, because we have some really cool (realistic) ideas we'd like to implement, if that possibility is given to us.

Sounds good, as soon as I get BF2 w/ PR, then you can count on me to get supplies and guys to where they gotta go, thank you for flying with KChesney89(Online Name) Airlines...

ill be right behind ya

The USMC uses the CH-53E Super Stallion (heavy lift squadrons) and older CH-53D Sea Stallion (medium lift squadrons; to eventually be replaced by V-22).

The Naval Special Warfare 10 or 11 meter RIBs cannot be carried internally by the H-53 Stallion / Pave Low or H-47 Chinook helicopters. However, the Zodiac CRRC (Combat Rubber Reconnaissance Craft or Combat Rubber Raiding Craft) can be carried internally and deployed from the ramp with combat swimmers in a "low and slow" helocast. This photo is courtesy of an active duty Pave Low flight engineer:



The CRRC can also be paradropped or helocast from suitably equipped H-60 helicopters (Navy SH-60F and HH-60H Seahawks and possibly Army and Air Force special operations Blackhawks and Pavehawks) using what is known as a "tethered duck" configuration.





And of course, it can be cast from larger boats, such as the Mk V Special Operations Craft used by NSW Special Boat Teams.

Sounds good, personally I prefer the tethered duck method & deployment form the Mk V

It wasnt really bad in BFV, its just the game completely sucked. I kind of like the idea, the beautiful CH-53 would be a treat if it could do all this.

(Though i dont think this is apart of BF2 anymore, it didnt make the cut i guess.....)

Well that would be nice, actually, I know BF2 took fast roping out, but im not sure if they took the code out, if they didnt, then PR should still be able to do it, well what do you say

We're not sure if sling-loading has made the cut from BFV to BF2, but hopefully we should soon know for certain.

I dont see why i wouldnt, It is still used alot on the modern battale field.

Yes, but what is used and what EA decides to include are all too often two VERY different things.
