#More helis like blackhawk and little birds

this forum is for AI units, fyi
O
I mean enemy helis would be dope
They would, but the AI in its current state is not set up for handling VTOL flight. iirc the AI AV-42s and F-45s don’t really “fly” when you ask them to take off/land in VTOL, they just play an animation
I too desire helicopter enemies to shoot at.
I made some players act as OPFOR in helicopters and be an asymmetrical enemy to the team with jets in a very mountainous terrain and not only was it a lot of fun the bastards actually whacked a couple of us with stingers.
I am thus necroposting to express my hope that the AI will be made capable of working with helicopters someday. The janky way I would try to design it, though it would be hacky, is BS the helicopters as slow flying planes with no stall speed and VTOL animation. From there I would make the turret its own sub-unit hard point like ships use for their guns, and the gun would just target anyone who flies in range of it. I am fine with this being a little aimbotty in exchange for the helicopter AI probably being dumb as hell.
But a more elaborate solution would be even nicer.
Obviously cargo helis are also delightful enemies to shoot.
It was fun nailing you with improved MANDPADs :)
