could y’all add where we can fly the Helicopter,s

[jade thorn]

Bc that would be pretty awesome and would add more to gameplay bc the Ai helicopter are annoying the server im in im pretty sure are Ai

[unkempt sentinel]

there are no AI helicopters

[jade thorn]

Well on yappy Vehicles server there’s Ai flying helicopters im not seeing any friendly helicopters only enemy and I think there Ai

Could it be server side ?

[echo acorn]

Which of the Yuppy-ies servers is it?

[jade thorn]

It’s the second one

Uk vs Wag

It’s the one with the Vehicles

[unkempt sentinel]

no there are no AI helicopters. period. they are players flying them

[jade thorn]

Are u sure bc the squad leaders put down like a smoke and shit and the helicopter comes

[unkempt sentinel]

im retardo ass

is it a hind?

there is a hind

that is a call-in

in the Wagner mod or some shit

[jade thorn]

Oh ok

[echo acorn]

Aw, fuck so no HELI server again?

[jade thorn]

I think there just to lazy to get a hell on the server im on

Unless the helicopters are fucked

[echo acorn]

Nah they aren't(as much)

[random acorn]

The heli you saw is ARTY support for one faction and is no AI, just a script round flying.

[jade thorn]

alright well im not seeing any flyable player helicopters unless its server side or if there lazy and dont want to get them

[random acorn]

None of the admins are likely to spawn attack heli on a full server because they are too deadly.

[jade thorn]

Well darn so no hell on any server is what ur saying ?

….

[fallen gorge]

in my server CounterCraft i spawn helies, but only when an admin is there

now we have some heli deployed

[random acorn]

You can see the attack helis on some almost empty servers

[fallen gorge]

well, some people like it, others not 🙂

[jade thorn]

Oh ok so If there a Admin and good communication the heli are spawned and if they don’t absolutely murder the objective

[fallen gorge]

yes

but at the moment its up to the server admin

[jade thorn]

Ok bc I was about to say people would rather play this game and fly and have good communication then pay to play squad

[random acorn]

Most of people do not want to play on a server when they are being killed out of nowhere, and at the moment it is not possible to give every player a heli because the game engine is not ready for it.

[jade thorn]

So what’s the max helicopter’s that are able to be spawned without causing issues

[random acorn]

You can't force players to be cannon fodder for one player in heli

apache and two guys can kill the entire lobby

[jade thorn]

I meant a transport helicopter

Not a Apache

Transport heli with 2 guns on the side

[random acorn]

You have to wait for mod update, autospawn for transport heli is planned.

but same, not like 10 per team

1-2

[jade thorn]

So it’s like 1 transport heli per team

[random acorn]

Is hard to say, this need to be tested on full server.

[jade thorn]

With how smooth the game plays on a good server with good connection I think itle be fine

[fallen gorge]

i agree, because on server with 8/64 players i tested with 4 attack helis and no problem, but with 64 players im sure that will be a problem

[jade thorn]

But the fact of the matter is people wanna have fun I mean good communication pilots that know what there doing and not murdering the objective and etc and having transport vehicles on the ground makes people happy they would rather play this game then have to pay to play squad I do believe this is gonna be a great game it’s far from being done and it’s not over and gotta a lot of potential but if u disappoint the players then there not gonna be very happy u know

[random acorn]

The second thing is that most people want to shoot and not fly with an unarmed heli

[jade thorn]

That’s some people

[jade thorn]

They can still hang of the sides and shoot there guns tho

[fallen gorge]

i wont spawn an heli per person, thats obvious. But 1 per team is a good idea or even 2 if an admin checks that theyre not kill spawning or mass killing

[random acorn]

not yet

[jade thorn]

Oh ok well that’s gonna be badass when that comes

So much fun landing above a roof and dismounting could u imagine the players yelling get out now 😂😂😂😂

And I really hope this game passes squad im sorry to the squad players but I can tell this is gonna be a great game and the players are making it better with suggestions and the devs

I’m gonna laugh so hard when someone calls someone a magget get out of the heli what are u doing get out 😂😂😂😂

But yea I know some people like squad

[random acorn]

We're already doing this, but you have to catch an admin who's on the server and playing

[jade thorn]

And I am a Arma 3 player but I don’t even wanna play that game anymore bc of the graphics and everything else on operation harsh doorstop

[jade thorn]

Hell yea that’s what’s up

[unkempt sentinel]

we've had lots of playtests with 30 vehicles ground + attack helicopters on a 64 player server. there will always be teh occasiaonal rubber-band here and there, but no hard teleporting 4 meters after driving 5 meters forward.

imo as long as the player count is at or below 64 you can have almost one vehicle (ground, helicopter) for every other player

as you start adding players the amount of work the server has to do increases exponentially

that means you very quickly hit a hard limit with players + vehicles

it seems to be around 78

but that is pushing it because you will still ahve to lower the vehilc ecount after 64

squad for the longest time had 80 players

it took them a long time to get up to 100 players

years

[fallen gorge]

gotcha

ty for the info

i modified the server capacity, in the next restart will be 64

but with the power bought for 128

[random acorn]

It's better to ask others before you bought the service. Server rental companies like to bend reality sometimes.

[fallen gorge]

SLY, it was my decision and my money

i dont see where u have to comment about in what i spend my money and in what no

u r throwing me knifes today, and u were yesterday

[random acorn]

But I'm not telling you what to do with your money, I'm sharing good advice. But if that's how you perceive it, that's your business.

[fallen gorge]

im just a kid who likes this game and is trying to build a server. I dont know if was you, but one day i asked in some server and i got kicked out lol just for asking thats why i didnt ask more

it has not been only this message and u know it ahahah no problem

but i dont like confrontations so beter we try not to

[random acorn]

Sure it was not me. If you asked me on the server about the same issue, I would share the same advice and not kick you out just for asking things like that. As you can see, several people are giving you similar advice.

[fallen gorge]

and i just said, i have it on mind!!!!

and just keep repeating the same hahaha i fixed that for the next restart

it would be 64
