Choppers and functions improvment

[Angus]

Dear developers and simers.

 

I love to fly aboard the Huey, which brings me to some thoughts on how the gameplay could be improved.

 

First thing, for the moment we have 2 helicopters of transport / combat (mi8 / UH1) of old generation. This in a world representing more the years 1990-2000.

The performance and avionics of these aircraft are somewhat obsolete in a modern combat environment. I will find it very interesting to be able to drive devices like the UH-1Y Venom

(Knowing that it shares 80% with the AH1-Z ;)) or Blackhawk (I do not know their Russian equivalent). To some extent, a Kyowa OH-58D could also be a good partner for the KA50 or SA342).

This would give us better navigation, processing and increased survivability.

 

 

 

 

Secondly, to increase the interest of these modules in play, some actions should be implemented in the game.

-Deposit of troops by smooth rope

-Deposting troops on the roof of a building through the skate.

-Make sure that troops can be deposited anywhere near a combat zone and that they start fighting without further programming in the mission editor.

-Implant an amphibious function to certain troops, drop combat divers into the water for example.

Maybe my English is too bad. Some videos to illustrate my thoughts.

Recently on another thread they were discussing that it would be cool to add civilian aircraft to DCS. However that made me think that DCS would be better suited to another sector of civilian aviation, Firefighting! A firefighting version of the Heuy could be used to carry out firefighting missions like dropping water or fire retardent on a wildfire site and after the drop you fly to the nearest lake to refill and back again until the fire is out. This would add a whole new level of flying and missions. Not to mention it would probably attract new VR pilots to DCS.
