Utility helis and infantry

images (43)

Could there be fast roping in-game, when infantry rolls out? we already have the Lynx (like the pic) in-game, and also others like Hueys and Hips, those are all transport

Btw this is just discussion, I am not looking for a suggestion post or anything like that

and IFV can have some infantry rolls too

Would be kind of undoable on 99% of the maps without getting clapped immediately.

If only we have GHPC fulda for infantry

I mean
New objective for heli PVE is appreciated.

Would likely come to infantry mode as a feature though some sort of support vehicle system (Please Gaijin don’t make us grind components for support vehicles) But otherwise would be awsome to just land a helicopter and drop troopers off. Also possible WW2 version (Germany plus France and Czechoslovakia → USSR)

US also got a pair of WW2 helicopters if you want to check those out.

play them

the problem is that they don’t even have a light machine gun for armament. And are mostly rescue helicopters

Like the Sikorsky H-5 or Sikorsky YR-4B

Maybe some
Go to X place and bring injured soldier back to base / field hospital.

Could they do a insertion like drop off 2 - 3 troopers? The German one could hull a artillery gun. Still may be useful in infantry mode.

H-5 has 2 external strechers
which is kind of not dropping off troops, just dropping corpses

at that point just tie a harness to a soldier and carry it like an artillery gun.

This should have been added as soon as helicopters were added into the game. We already have all of the maps where helicopters were heavily used in historical battles. Vietnam and Afghanistan are the two most prominent.

Maybe adding a bit of errands to heli PVE would be a nice break from endless gepard dueling.

Yes, add German helicopter in Czechoslovak service that has been confirmed to not be subtree of USSR to USSR

How do you guys think we could get the devs to look into this more? The forum mods don’t seem too keen on pushing it to them.

Well part of it is because I didn’t make it into a suggestion post

Even if passed to the devs it won’t help, the moment they decided to make it so tanks can grind helicopter TTs they left heli PVE for dead.

All of the load now falls to Tank battles, and the devs can clean their hands and say “just play tanks with this option enabled”

A shame since I want more Endurin confrontation modes apart from ASB or NEC.

Infantry suggestions wont be available until testing is over your free to talk about it but this is not even in the WIP infantry section. Yes tried and I have some stuff on the back burner it wont be two hard for you to find them anyway.

I wanna keep the idea alive but I don’t wanna overdo it. I’ve had a heli PvE overhaul suggestion including troop transport mechanics that got passed up to the devs years ago, but it got drowned out by other suggestions and I don’t wanna have to keep necro’ing old threads to keep it relevant. I’m glad more people are talking about to for sure, but it just doesn’t seem like enough are giving it attention.
