New Flightsystem Post Patch

[NordKindchen 12]

What I like:

The helicopters cannot fly upside down anymore.

What I dont like:

At least the Little bird has an increadible fast acceleration! It goes from zero to 100 in less than 2 seconds and accelerates even further.

While I like fast flying helis - this comes with a huge disadvantage - since the little bird is only capable of turning left and right at speed below and low over 100 it becomes a hell of a lot harder to center aim targets. And since the little birds miniguns still are incredible inaccurate (nothing wrong with that), engaging targets with the miniguns becomes inpracticle now. The window of engagement now has become increadible small.

With this acceleration the AH feels more like an aircraft when making an attack run.

And the moment you aim your nose down to shoot at a target - the helicopter accelerates to speeds over 150 and therefore is not able to lead any targets that are running parallel. Something that was quite doable before.

So in the end - all it needs to do to evade a little bird at the moment is to run parallel to it. Because of the fast acceleration when he aims its nose down it wont be able to lead you anymore.

And if the chopper decides to hover in the air so the acceleration wont kick in - the pilots are incredible easy targets.

This needs to be fixed. The acceleration was fine before the patch and is broken now.

Since it's related to development change it may fit better here - woops nevermind, forgot they don't want bugs n such there.

So it wasn't just me that felt that the LB has become super responsive speed wise. That would explain why it felt like flying a brick when I jumped into ArmA2.

the FM is in mid of WIP turmoil ... so nothing definitive ;)

Thought so=) Still better to give feedback;)

Thanks for your reply!

WIP Turmoil for the win! :D Nice to hear (and see) that rotary is getting some definitive attention. Even if the hilarious AH-9 minigun animations are still there. Cracks me up every time xD

The bird is twitchy, for sure! Made for some...exciting flying last night.
