Good day to everyone, so.
Heli in this state is broken, why ? Look at drops and programming, first we look at programming.
Heli is going to fly around island from the ocean, there is one guy who have some wooden gear and armor or crossie, heli want to kill him but what is going to happend ? there is a small cabin where you can hide from heli so he hide there and sometimes peaked, heli shot some rounds and still fly around for 15 minutes and DOESNT send SIGNLE rockets, idk why its like that, thats bullshit, after 15 minutes it fly away or despawn *poof* and no-one is going to take it down.
You can shoot the heli but its already targeted on someone so its useless or you just cant hit 2k meters shot from bolt its unreal even with HV rounds.
Heli drops, ok so let me look at this, after you make a base, waste ammo, defend a heli you will expect something more then shitty holo sight or silencers or no ? Someone would say if there is a some korean zerg killing heli all day long they have heli only for them so no need to buff drops, but who really cares about zergs you can still counter heli and steal it after all you get 2x shitty holosight or some HV rockets or even the best drop, SPAS.
So, buff the drops, re-programm the heli, make it harder becouse if you have like 3-4 decent guys you can take it down with a pythons.
Thats all from me and thx for reading, sorry for my grammar i am not excelent in english.
Going by the gist of it, I can agree that the Helicopter is pretty much a joke; any server I play on, vanilla or
not, will have the Helicopter killed immediately, even on the first day. They're very easy to destroy and pose
little-to-no threat (de-auth on the Tool Cupboard, and it won't use rockets, it'll use flame, thus it won't cause
any damage to structures).
I used to think that the Helicopter was supposed to be some sort of frightening, map-clearing demon, but
after playing enough I realize anybody can take it down with little risk. Its pretty much just a flying lootbox.
Broken, glitched and easy to shoot down it needs a rework
The server I play on has an "OP" Helicopter, It will shoot you even if naked and if it spots you when you are
on a base roof (for example) has been known to take down a lot of the base trying to get you,
No one has yet killed the heli although several teams have tried and failed,
It is indeed what you describe above
Yeah, you can modify the helicopter as an owner (admin), but not on officials.. It just need some tweaks and it'll be good..
As I said "no one has taken it down" , That means with amoured towers with 10 sleeping bags and teams of 4
with M249's (explosive rounds) . Bolt action rifles with HV ammo and L300's .
It has been "OP'ed" to make it almost impossible to kill, I have been on the server for over 2 years and never
seen it done, I have tried with many weapons and strategies but always fail,
That depends on the server owner (modded) I am quite happy to get a CCTV and Laptop as it means another
turret for my base,
I feel like the heli is one of the only things in rust with a really outdated texture
Thats also true
Well the HQM it gives isn't bad loot. Not exactly good for what it takes but comparing to silencers it's a really welcome resource.
This is one of the reasons game developers update/change things in the game constantly. Before, the game was still new to everyone so people didn't know how to take down heli the right way, but as time goes on, players learn and things become easier, and certain things are easier to abuse. So they gotta make some changes to heli to where players have to learn to adapt again and make it a challenge.
I hope so
