Blackhawk "Whoring"

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

Masturr was balanced, I didn't play that map much, but when I did it was easy to be MEC and just park your vodnik in the hills near the BH heli pad, you can kill it as it comes in for repairs, and it doesn't have anywhere else to go to repair (well not really, supply boxes if they are lucky).

A good BH team wouldn't need to go to the heli pad for repairs, it would repair fast enough in flight with 1 or 2 engineers. (This being before the engineer heli repair nerf).

BH whoring was problematic, but at least it took a whole squad to do it, which was interesting.

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

If they had made the guns on both choppers at least somewhat equal from the start then the BH wouldn't have been nerfed..

Maybe ppl should have complained about the skycow instead of flaming the blackhawk?

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

I wonder what it would like if all the transport choppers were equal and were in a fight. I imagine it to be something like the old chips with cannons on the sides. It would be intense. But yea something should be done to put these choppers into action again. I actuall like flying them for fun from time to time.

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

I'm still curious as to what people think about the suggestion I made on the first page regaurding equiping the skycow with auto-GLs...

Does that make you think "OMFG over powered", or "Yeah... that's be hella cool"?

Bare in mind that I wouldn't want to see armour ramped back up. Readied defences should still be able to chase the big birds off. I'm also thinking about maybe making those GLs overheat after an 8 round burst and require a 3 second cooldown.

Or something along those lines.
Prolly never happen, but it's still worth hashing over.

Won't happen in vanilla. Maybe in a mod - even though its difficult. I'm all for it though.

I know it's highly unlikely... I'm just interested in gauging the responce to the idea. Hell, if there's enough support it would only involve replacing one model and hacking up some definition files. The GL mechanics are in place and you wouldn't even have to change the animation of the skycow gunners (just swap the weapon model). I'd be dreaming to demand or expect it to be implemented... but ya never know fer sure.

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

That's what made me think about *auto* grenade launchers.
The accuracy would suck horribly, but you could spam the crap outta areas for a short time.

Would make life *interesting* on the ground.

lol, does anyone remember the AA on the Prince of Wales in Forgotten Hope?

that **** would open up on a base and LAGGGGGGGGG .001 FPS
nothing made the other team DC like that thing

man that was the most fun ever

Re: Blackhawk "Whoring"

Ah the good old days I remember many a day ending the round for a 60 + score just by sitting in the back doing a few repairs....
