Stingers On Helos

munchkin · 11-01-2005, 02:23 AM

Attack helicopters, in reality, often have Stinger Air-to-Air missiles as part of their loadout. With these, they are able to take down enemy jets as well as enemy helos, giving them an additional amount of protection.

Giving the transport helos a stinger might also see them used more often. I'd like to see this in the Tactical Mod (I know, I know, suggestions thread), but what do you guys think?

Yeah, that sounds freakin great - give the helos more power than they already have. seeing as how AA missles are absolutely ineffective against them as is....

Though on the flip side - if they are a threat to the jets, that might keep them more busy and not toasting my ass constantly (I heart you Shiner)

in the first screen shots the BH had rockets....but would be neat to see the MEC/Chinese choppers with something else besides .50cals

Yeah MEC choppers suck so bad. If any air support needs some boosting, its the MEC helos.

You mean something like this?

id just like to see some splash damage on the mec trans choppers 50's, atleast to bring it on par with the BH in terms of firepower

Heh, I only wish I knew how to do complicated stuff like that. Those screenshots are from an air-to-air focused mod that I've been reading about. Check out what he did with the air-to-air missiles.

The 21CW Mod added Stingers to the attack choppers. They just gave a toggle between the little rockets and stingers, unfortunately changing the HUD as well to that of the SAM emplacements. Actually, I think the PLA chopper got the HUD/crosshair of the Tunguska - that grid like thing.. bleh, made it hard to see.

Yeah, I think giving the pilot the ability to fire the stingers is a bad idea, but it'd be neat if the gunner had them. Has anyone tried to change weapons (using the mouse scroll wheel) while gunning in a chopper? It allows you to switch back and forth between the TV missile and....the tv missile. To me, that smacks of a removed weapon. Maybe it could be slotted in there?

I think it would be better for the pilot to have them opposed to the gunner.. Its a fire and forget weapon, the stinger is. So why not just give it to the pilot? It would be equally easy to use for either of them, but maybe a little harder for the pilot, as he has to concentrate on flying as well. Plus the pilot doesnt have a secondary weapon..

I think if this was ever implimented, give the pilot at max 2 stingers

I think I dont need anymore things causing a buzzing noise while I'm in a chopper. I also think it would take a lot of the fun out of chopper duels.

I think it might be nice to add them to the sky cow, thus making it a blackhawk hunter on maps like Mashtuur.
