Title: Shooting out of choppers?
Post by: SoldierX on 17 Apr 2003, 01:11:04

Can somebody make a chopper like a blackhawk where you can shoot out the side doors with a sniper rifle or something?

sniping out of a chopper isnt the easiest thing in the world

SPEC OPS actually train for this. GSG9 (germany) trains for shooting at a driving car from a chopper in a fly-by. The train to onlt shoot the driver and leave the hostage alive. So it is possible.

Major drawback; It's not really possible in the game (at least not very good)

Wow shooting of driving cars. Well if you think about it if you are shooting at a distance you don't need to rotate the rifle much because of the distance and all you got to worry about is 1 axis the "x" axis but in a chopper you got to worry about 2 different axis which makes it alot more harder.

IRL yes you can if the pilot knows his S*** and the sniper is specially trained but in MP OFP with the lag factor and everything it would be like sniping in a hurricane

i wouldnt recommend sniping from a helo in many circumstances though never know when a gust of wind will buck the helo

Ya i guess you're right, but it would be a cool thing to do

i dont really care about shooting from them but in helos like the BAS MH47 which has a functional ramp i wish you could walk out of them in flight for para drops

or drive vehicles in them

Ya it would be cool if you could land in a chopper and just jump out instead of using the action menu.

im so used to the action menu i never thought of that lol but a nice halo from a c130 or a low altitude freefall from a ch47 would be cool

the new BAS MH47 you can shoot out of when it's in hold position mode...

it wouldnt be the best but a start of this was mentioned awhile back by someone else.  make a helo but instead of a mini-gun or a 50cal in the door, place a M24 like BAS did the MP5 on the little bird.
