#Possible solution for the LZ camping issue. A blackhawk and an M134.

Controlling an LZ can be a completely legitimate way to play if you have people doing stuff in a certain area of a POI. Not to mention how old it would get to be waiting near an LZ for your own chopper just to have someone else's chopper land and ypu all just get quickly taken out by an AI on a mini gun

#

They've said before they have no intention to stop what people see as LZ camping.

This is not to discourage "LZ camping", as I believe LZ camping is legitimate as it HAS happened in real life. However, controlling an LZ has it's downsides and EVERYTHING has a counter and that counter has always been an M134 or a .50 Cal. If AI is the issue of controlling the gun, you can just have the player control the gun. Especially if they're willing to pay extra for that support, which makes it very limited. But that's just me 🤷🏽‍♂️

i will say with .3 i experience very little camping at LZ. And occasionally Im at an LZ and catch someone leaving or coming so in PVP its dog eat dog. LZ's are always going to be hot spots for sure. Smoke grenades can help, and mortars are always an option. With all that said, I do think it would be cool to have the option to pay for upgraded choppers like in your pitch. Feels fairly grounded, and could just be fun af as far as gameplay dynamics. Maybe at that point too they could have some LZ's that are different sizes and can handle different helo's. Maybe there would be small, medium, large LZ's with respectively having different options (little bird, Blackhawk, Chinook. Black hawk brings the addition of guns, chinook offers some cover of the interior and the guns. Anywho, seems like a pipe dream and im not sure we'll see it but its fun as a concept. Maybe one day.

A BH with miniguns would definitely be used offensively. For example if you have a tracker on someone and you see they're running to an LZ. Hop on a chopper and go straight to that LZ and minigun them down.

#

What we have now is actually pretty good because we have lots of LZs and a 3 second immunity when hopping off the chopper.

PS: I suspect the ones that are not gonna like this is probably the LZ campers themselves but if you like realism games like this, that's as realistic as it gets. Try camping a LZ with lead going over your head, it isn't fun lol

Try again.

best thing to avoid lz camping (voluntary , no bad luck encountering)
imo it's to immune the landing player for like 20sec or until he shot/nade. so this way No one will come to try to spawn kill an immune player, and in case a player waits for his helicopter, he will prefer to stay hidden lying down while the player who lands deploys and disappears

#

now to avoid bad luck encountering at LZ (2 people waiting chopper etc) There is always my solution to distinguish by a few meters the exact landing points of the helicopters for each factions

@carmine viper I completely agree with you, my suggestion is more based on real life experience and possible solution or "a away" since the game is based on "realism" and people wanted the game to be more realistic.
