carss Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 I think it would be great if ai helicopters were given the ability to follow or escort ground vehicle groups or ship groups, allowing possibility for air cover of convoys and other things. Also I think Helicopters should be given a "hold position" or "hover" option in the advanced options menu.

carss Posted December 16, 2016 Author Posted December 16, 2016 Also could there be an option for the transport/utility helicopters(UH-1/Mi-8/UH-60), that when they are escorting ground convoys and carrying troops within them, when they are attacked, they instantly unload troops via ropes to either side of the convoy as ground reinforcements, and then quickly proceed to cover the convoy with their weapons?

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 16, 2016 ED Team Posted December 16, 2016 I like the escort idea as well, I will have a look and see if it has been feature requested. Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

kontiuka Posted December 16, 2016 Posted December 16, 2016 Do helicopters escort in the traditional sense? Or is it more hit-and-hide tactics? Something I'd like to know for a project I'm working on.
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted December 16, 2016 ED Team Posted December 16, 2016 FYI I have made a feature request, #0037066 we currently have the follow task in advanced waypoint actions, but that is for air units only. making an escort task would not be impossible, just requires time, effort and the will to do it :) fingers crossed Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

carss Posted December 16, 2016 Author Posted December 16, 2016 Also what is your take on the second part of the request of the transport helicopters? Do you think that would be possible too?

Do you think that would be possible too? I am pretty sure it can be done already using waypoints, but best to ask in the mission builders section https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=210 I would have to take a closer look, it has been a while since I was heavy into mission building :) Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

carss Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 Does escorting ships with helicopters make sense ? Helos fly for 2 hours...ships go slow for days... Sure, they can take off from the ships, fly alongside them and land when they have to rearm or refuel. A lot of rescue helicopters do that since they have to be ready to rescue anyone who may fall overboard [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Planes: FC3, P-51, F-86, F-5E, Mirage 2000, F/A-18, F-14, F-16, Mig-19P :joystick: ED pls gib A-4 and F-4 :cry:

RePhil Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I agree now we will have an active carrier we really need say a Sea Hawk that can do S/R and anti sub work in the carrier group or at least update Huey for this. When VCVW start deployment it would add realism to launch and recovery opps Edited May 29, 2018 by RePhil [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Window 10, i9-9900,2080TI, 32GB ram Puma Pro Flight Trainer, 2 x 1TB WB SSD NVMe HP Reverb
