Heavy Helicopter to drop Repair stations

[Drunkenup]

I was looking at the other repair thread next to this one, and after finding it to be able to be easily exploited, I ventured to another solution. 10 seconds and I thought, With the Chinook coming in for 2 factions as a Large helicopter, and the NH-90 to act as a larger heli for other forces, both could act as a repair platform for such landing vehicles. What I was thinking is to have a single, reloadable, repair station, like those dropped from Logistics Trucks. The Station will last longer than the truck dropped one, but will drop a few feet behind the Tail Ramps that most of the helicopters I had in mind have (H-53, Chinook, NH-90). To avoid spam, the Repair station cannot fix the Helicopter itself.

Dont think that can be done

afaik, not realistic for choppers to do on field repairs of armoured vehicles.

The most they could do in r/l afaik is simply air lift out a damaged light vehicle.

Its a good idea, think its a resugg. though

Or just make it a single use drop. Not enough to fully fix a disabled vehicle but keeps it alive long enough for a logistics truck to arrive and do the field repairs.
Afterwards the thing has to be reloaded on a landing pad, just as a supply crate.

I doubt it's possible, but would you be able to make it so the damaged vehicle is destroyed and instantly respawns when the Helilands on the air field?

possibly with some insane python coding ye.

sorry rhino, but i think maybe he has an idea, it might make up for the lack of troop capacity and the number of crates able to be dropped.

db wont be happy i guess

though i read about soviet rescue helicopter crews, they landed and crashed helicopter site and quickly repaired it so they could make their way to base, if it wasnt possible they removed all valuable things which could be re-used for repairing other helicopters

Ye when it comes to helicopter crash sites, most of the time anouther chopper is first on the scene to secure the crash site and to provide repairs, often also air lifting the crashed chopper out back to base. Many examples of this in Afghanistan and other theatres of war, one pretty recently as well but for armoured vehicle repairs, never heard of it.
