#A use for helicopter copilot seats?

As of right now there is no point to be sitting in the copilot seat of a helicopter other then to get a ride. You can't repair the helicopter while in the copilot seat, and Militarybirds might as well be a one seater because theres no use there either.

-a targetting system or some way of being a spotter?
-a unique control mechanism for the copilot to control?
-being able to see all the angles around the helicopter to give callouts?
-responsible for letting pilot know a rpg from infantry is locked on?

I don't know any really bright ideas other than these, so write some if you want. More ideas the better.

Honestly, just make co-pilot a spotter. It makes the most sense imo: you’re supposed to be assisting your fellow helicopter pilot with flying away from danger, why shouldn’t I be able to spot with this in mind?

How are you going to let the pilot know a rpg is locked on?

#

I like the rest i just dont understand what that last one means

Locked on by rpg? what???

Ah yes, locked on by the guided RPGs

Stop trolling this man. He may have simply expressed himself incorrectly, or perhaps English is not his native language. I'm willing to bet what he meant when someone just aims an RPG at you

How about having the co pilot be able to fly as long as nobody is in the pilot seat

same as tank commander (special markers with arrows) + thermal sight/zoom (right click) + repair tool (while outside scope)

also i would suggest something like bullet protection (in case he uses electronics to see outside) on copilot side of the cab but you hate that ideas most of times

not really an issue in transport birds but definitely an issue on the armed one, if that were to be added

Or is this also a feature of exclusively European servers?

#

If I can disable these labels in the settings, then I'm all for it.

If this would be a milsim where the probability of mic use would be higher, the last point would make sense more

you played BBR and interacted the community back in 2020?

if you weren't there when it was thriving the most and hardcore was the most accurate to say BBRs difficulty, then why you assume everyone hated hardcore as a whole?

A use? It already ahs the most OP use, engineers just spam heli's now, fire rockets out of em over and over, cant beat it, just hover and rpg. And I believe unless people have an exploit, you can even reload inf rockets. I dunno, its even worse on inf conq maps where they cant be beat, fly high, RPG down and rain hell on people. Most stupid shit I have ever seen since BF 2042 spawning in vehicles on rooftops.

copilot seat

#

not passenger seat

#

Also seems like skill issue if you can’t just rpg them

#

Or grab an aug/m249/ultimax and beam em back to base

Ahh yes the old "skill issue". I will ignore you, and your emote. If you decide to age a bit, mature and come back with a reasonable response. Go at it. I see people RPG'ing out of the military birds too, so if thats not a thing, there sure is an exploit. OCE has people doing it all the time, every map, 24/7. "just grab a gun and kill em" ok but, i dont aimbot, and noone has an aim to "just kill em" whenever they feel like it. I mean, just respawn and teleport back there, right? come on now... taking the piss a bit far

Would be great to allow secondary seat to use tools (not weapons) but ignore repair tool (like side seat but with limitations)
For example you could control scout drone being co-pilot

It could be changed so the copilot takes control of the heli in case the pilot gets shot, but that would kinda take away the merit of the sniper hitting such a hard shot.
