I meant...if you fire a RPG from a bench of a hummingbird you would AT LEAST stun everyone inside, possibly injured some, or worst kill the pilots. mmmmmm........NOT something I wanna see when I'm inserting in a Hummingbird. http://www.military.com/video/operations-and-strategy/antitank-weapons/rpg-backblast-downs-libyan-rebel/1409604880001 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyboy 3741 Posted April 12, 2018 @phronk needs to add that video link to his combat realism scripts thread!!! (Since he has handled RPG back-blast...) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZackTactical34 86 Posted April 12, 2018 Are we also going to ignore the fact that this could potentially increase troll abuse? They could improve their RPG skills on flying hummingbirds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If realism was an issue for video games, then we need to get rid of King of the Hill, Wasteland, Altis life, respawns of any kind, purchasing military equipment, reviving people who immediately go back into battle and many more. Perhaps citing what would happen in real life is NOT the way video games should be created... ...especially when Arma is better described as a game creation machine - than a simulator. I wish people would stop trying to prevent ideas from happening, maybe if this game mode works you could simply not play it. Suggesting that others cant play it because you don't get it; is like saying I cant have a steak because a baby cant chew it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should KOTH not exist because invincible kids at spawn ram other vehicles, or should those kids just be banned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lordfrith 401 Posted April 12, 2018 i'm not sure that blastback is modeled that accurately in vanilla arma other than visually (and i can't check as i'm still downloading tanks ) so this could be possible. You'd probably have to mod configs, i think the FFV settings are defined in vehicle config in 'cargoTurrets' section, maybe adding the allowLauncherIn/out property. Quote Additional properies allowLauncherIn and allowLauncherOut have been added to allow use of launchers in vehicle If its done at mod level trolling wouldn't be an issue as server/client would need the mod and so everyone would know what helicopter RPG madness they were letting themselves in for :D the idea of a helicopter RPG dual is not without its appeal... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps, although is not a simulator, some want to at least give it a resemblance of reality. Also, allowing REALLY UNREALISTIC things to happen is even more annoying that trollers. Anyway, just to stop the controversy...I hope you find what you're looking for, but is not something I would enjoy in a server. But if you like that..hey..suit yourself dude. Zagor out! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know a ton of people who would like to play with this, even if its just a mod for friends. I watched a Twitch Arma modder/developer try to work it out but with no luck.

Yeah don't get me wrong I like milsim sometimes too, and youre right that this would be a bad idea (IRL) but its not really unrealistic, you COULD sit on the side of a heli and do this but the heli would just blow up or the backblast would kill ppl, which should also be an option. I just want all the available options, not just the ones that would be "safe". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2505 Posted April 12, 2018 I mostly build "serious" missions, but I have a few fun pre-game missions that something like this could figure into. Littlebirds carrying RPG gunners on the benches going at each other deathmatch-style? Sure! The "but realism" argument is kind of irrelevant. Most missions in Arma are not very realistic (milsim included), and the most popular missions are the least realistic. Arma is a sandbox, do your thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
