I think the weakest link to this whole thing is player controlled helis

Will players need to learn how to fly or will it be simple enough anyone can do it

[wide relic]

I would imagine them similar to squad. Helicopter should be something you need to learn. To put it short they should be easy to learn but hard to Master. I really hope for a Trainingground for them so new pilots can learn without ruining a matches.

I hope it's like RS2, with the change that getting that thing to land should be far easier. In RS2 the gddam thing just doesnt want to land. I shouldn't have to do some weird pirouette just to drop my heli from the sky

Was it confirmed anywhere they are gonna be flyable/controllable?

From initial docs I think everything heli-related sounds more like commander abilities, that will not require any flying from the players

[vocal maple]

please no🙁

[agile sequoia]

on the steam store page:
**Helicopter (US only): Pilot, Crewman, Gunner. **

[chilly jackal]

they explicitly said we will be able to fly them, where have you read helis will just be a commander ability?

[shrewd steppe]

Glad if it is so!

I just remember reading this and thinking it might be just a list of abilities, so

Great if it’s not, cause I missed any further details on helis 🔥

[shrewd steppe]

The list of what helis do just looked kinda similar to current commander map abilities

[chilly jackal]

the way i read this, us forces will have have acces to fully operational helis. Who will function like transport, supply trucks, and half tracks.

That’s gonna be really cool
