Now listen, we only have one helicopter aircraft in the game, and this could provide many opportunity’s to the game and possibilities. My suggestion isn’t the sky crane directly, but a version still close to the aircraft, but with variation. What I was thinking for a skycrane-like aircraft would be a modular helicopter capable of multi-role application like troop transport(tanks or infantry, giving the possibility of mobile SAM sites that can be placed down, or stinger emplacements that would be equipped in the load out page and be held in a modular cargo like container that can be fully jettisoned, ONLY if whatever was in said container was gone.) This aircraft would be as strong as the AH-94 if not stronger(in the way that it could take many hits) and not very weaponized but given small arms fire and having a lot of chaff and flare. The role of this helicopter would be to provide heavy ground assistance and open the door for transport aircraft that could set down Stingers, fire teams, tanks, etc, as previously mentioned. Baha was saying that when he creates a new aircraft he looks for something to give a new implementation to the game and provides something new, which I believe this aircraft could provide. REMINDERS/final notes:
- I’m not saying that the skycrane should be directly implemented, but rather a helicopter similar to the skycrane could be added.
- Don’t hate on the suggestion. It’s a suggestion, it’s not that serious.
- I’d at least hope to see this feature added later on in VTOL even if it’s not a helicopter. This is purely an idea and I’m not expecting a 1 to 1 copy if implemented.
