Chopper Fuel

[Pilot Z]

Just had a thought while I was in another thread.

The discussion was about the chopper in the upcoming patch.

I had an idea that might weaken the chopper without taking away firepower. Fuel. If the chopper oly had a certain amount of fuel, it would have to return to the helipad to refuel every so often. This would greatly reduce the camping that choppers do at carrieres and bases. Also when they hover over an outpost, This would not be possible to do consecutively.

Anyone else got ideas ?

Re: Chopper Fuel

I have more ideas that might help game balance.
Food, Water and Sleep. If the infantrymen don't take naps regularily and eat when they're low on energy, they die of overexhaustion eventually. Of course, napping players are easy victims, so sleeping at the right place and time becomes a highly strategic element of the game. Because you can carry only limited rations of food and water, you have to restock regularily at your uncapturable base.
This would greatly reduce the camping that infantrymen do at carriers, bases, flags and the rest of maps.

Re: Chopper Fuel

you have to regularly change tires on your apc at your uncapturable base (stop the karkand APC whores)

Re: Chopper Fuel

btw ED, im thinking realistically, APC tires would last ages. fuel doesn't.

Re: Chopper Fuel

guess someone cant take a joke, and your fuel idea is retarded for the fact that if the chopper has fuel what do the other vehicles run on? air? if they have fuel then the other vehicles would have to have it also and a tank would run out fuel in no time, and the apc, and the jets

Pretty sure he was being serious...this is a video game not a DOD simulator....jesus people helos are not that bad and neither are the jets....if they are so bad learn to be good with them and dish the same hell out to someone else as it has been done to you...and don't go and tell me they are easy cuz you are full of shyte....

Well yeah it is their job....But it still goes if you added fuel to the helos you would have to do it to everything....I know make a new class and vehicle the Fueler...hell you are gonna need a Mechanic division too....I say you make tires get flats and tank treads bust links....

Re: Chopper Fuel

I agree! DICE needs to make the petrol stations on the maps (Like the one on Gulf of Oman) fully functionable! I want to stop, buy some petrol for my tank, some sweets and the daily paper! I want to buy silly stuff that I can hang from my Vodnik's mirror!

It would be pretty cool if you could burst the tires of vehicles.

Re: Chopper Fuel

this is more of an arcade style game, you wont find refueling or burst tires in this game. If you like that kind of stuff, play OPF...not only could you run out of fuel, but burst your tires...tanks could get damaged to the point where the cannon couldn't move properly, or even the treads didn't work. Camo worked, because if there was a bush there, everyone saw the bush at any distance unlike bf2 where you hide in the grass that the guy a 100 feet away just sees some moron lying on the ground with no grass around them, and so forth. Realism is nice, but not for battlefield games. But i can say at least you are thinking and coming up with ideas.
