    Sticky Helicopters

    Am I the only one who has noticed that half the choppers that spawn seem to be partially stuck in the helipad?

    You see plenty of vehicles spawn with their wheels a few inches into the tarmac, but it makes no difference to them once they start to move. With the helicopters however you are sitting there until you reach almost full collective before you start to rise. People on board start to think you cant fly, and if you're in a hurry to get away from bad guys or artillery or whatever, that's just too damn bad.

    In the old days I seem to remember that when stuff spawned it did so a certain distance above the ground and it'd kinda fall onto the ground with a noticable bounce. Perhaps this was their way around stuff sticking in the ground with the old program. They might want to think about reintroducing it for Helos.

    Don't think it's a bug. It's so you can't just hop in and go I think.

      Helicopter has large rotor and engine needs to power up before it can generate a required amount of lift before helicopter can fly. Common physics, not a bug

        You could say common physics but that's not really true. Once you've warmed the puppy up any time you exit and get back in it will take off instantly.

          yeah, it's not a bug, just a taste of reality... just like the spin up time on the guns

            Maybe

            I have been on maps where the vehicles were nailed to the ground and had to be destroyed and respawned before they would work.
