Rope ladders for choppers

Recommended Posts

I well want a ladder that can be thrown from the chopper to pic up troops below

as we all know landing in a hotzone is a bad idea [specially with t80s aroud]

Also they wouldnt have to do any character animations cos the game already has it [when u climb a watch tower]

Land == T80s shoot the landed chopper

Hover == T80s shoot the hovering chopper

Whats the difference? You think you will survive longer by lowering a rope? HA! You have more chance of surviving when landing between some trees...

Difference is that you could pick up troops where a helicopter normally can´t land, such as from inmidst a forrest.

While the enemy is waiting for you to go to an open LZ, you do the unexpected and exfiltrate right out of the middle of a big forrest.

Another thing is that the ladder system would not only allow to board the chopper while it´s airborne, it can also be used as insertion, means climbing down.

If we would get some flat top buildings, you could deliver a team of soldiers right on top of a building, so they can fight their way upstairs down by the book in house combat, or could be used for Sniper insertion.

In addition fast-roping would be cool, so you don´t have to fly a minimum altitude for parachute insertion...it would also look cool.

Hehehe... that'd be a great rescue mission; just bungee down, grab a downed pilot, then fly back up. Its madness!

Or the "Try to not get squished against those teh large trees and win the game" sort of mission.

A rope would be sufficient, instead of a ladder,but that would require a new anmation. If there could be the possibilty to drop s.o. over a forest for ex. that could be cool, or just if s.o. is hanging on the rope during a flight - could be useful for hot evac

j/k its aswome. i think a rope will be better tho, so the infantry can just slide down.

Ha, ha we could recreate 'THE FALL GUY' opening sequence (remember that show!) - In a jeep heading for a ravine with a helicopter and rope ladder above, stand up in the seat and grab the ladder just as the jeep goes over the edge!!! biggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

i would like to see assault and rescue ladders also but just so you guys know you can very slowly lower a chopper into the very dense woods(the ones tanks cant move thru very well) and land i do it all the time.it will crash the chopper once in a hundred tries but i have made a few missions were the pick up point is in those woods to give some cover for the chopper and the troops. one hint tho dont try this on a hill it has to semi level ground. ie if you couldnt land on terrain with out the trees you wont be able to with either.

Ropes ladders for choppers = excellent idea...

but they need to add a dust-circle at fly heights below 15! just a simply circle of dust like all other units make.
