WelshZeCorgi Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Are the pilots modeled to be bullet resistant in the Huey? I keep noticing missions where I take a bunch of AK-47 rounds to the plexiglass windshield in the cockpit but have never experienced getting my pilot/copilot shot or killed. Door gunners, sure I have gotten them killed several times, yet they usually seem pretty invincible even when their door windows are completely shot out... EDIT: changed title to correspond with what seems to be holes in the windshield that bullets cannot penetrate. Edited January 28, 2016 by WelshZeCorgi
kontiuka Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I haven't flown combat missions in the Huey for a while but yes, both pilot and co-pilot have been killed leaving only the door gunners to fly the chopper. Didn't work out too well.

WelshZeCorgi Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 On contrary, I was thinking that they were dying too soon. :( It's odd... These are rifle caliber rounds of course, so if I was hit by 20mm, or 12mm rounds, sure I think my pilots would die quickly, but I just assumed cause when my plexiglass is just full of holes, I wonder how much is luck considering I could fit my head through most of them.

WelshZeCorgi Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 I thought about it some more and realized that the pilot's weren't bulletproof... rather, even though there are holes in the Plexiglas windshield, the damage model does not allow for bullets (like 7.62mm) to pass through these holes and strike the pilot. If these rounds hit a hole in the windshield, it just damages the entire windshield more instead of passing through said hole to hit the pilot behind it....
Zimmerdylan Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 My pilot and copilot have been whacked on many occasion. And those guys on the ground shooting AK rifles must be the best trained soldiers on earth because they almost never miss the helicopter. I would like to see the RPG guys shoot at the helicopters. That would be fun and if they're anything like the riflemen.....it would be pretty deadly. If the RPG do shoot.....I've never seen it.
msalama Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 If the RPG do shoot.....I've never seen it. They do shoot at helos. I've been killed by an RPG hit at least 2 times that I remember myself. But they only engage you if you're slow or stationary. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
