Bring back Helicopters to Al basrah

stealth420 · 01-19-2010, 07:45 PM

Since .86 came out and the helicopters were nerfed to the brink of extinction and the Lynx was removed from Al basrah (for sound bug reasons).

What if the moderators brought back 2 helicopters to al basrah and to componsate they could remove the mini apc (schmitar).

+1 Lynx
+1 Apache

- 1 mini Apc Schmitar.

No one has had a chance to use Helis on this map since .85.

The Lynx would be very useful on this map , due to the 2 islands that can be unreachable by land vehicles if all bridges are blown. Which usually happens once the cache is located on the map by Blufor forces.

I made this suggestion because the helicopters were drastically changed in .86 and they should at least try out the new versions of these helicopters on these maps before removing them completly.

Dunno about the apache, but a lynx should be added. But then again if it gets shot down we are screwed, maybe instead of apache and a lynx - two lynxs?

In whatever way I would like to see some air transport on basrah again.

Noo apache no wayy thats going to happen the map is WAY to small for that .. think of why they took it out of the other insgt city map .... it should only be used for Tank recon + distruction :P

Reason the helicopters were removed was due to soundbug issues oweing to the low view distance. Until this is changed there won't be any helis on Al Basrah, simple.

Additionally in order to have an Apache you would remove the CR2 not the Scimitar as against insurgents an Apache is a very very tough proposition indeed and not comparable on a threat level to a Scimitar. I would not be averse to seeing the Lynx back on the map but this would need to be carefully balanced and the soundbug issues fixed.

i never really understood why they took out the lynx in the fist place. I think it should be added again. It adds more teamwork and you can plan better attacks. i.e. water drops.

Merlin please, the Lynx for all the hype has turned out to be less useful than the Transport Littlebird.

I do agree on this one, we do need a transport heli on al basrah, not an attack one though.

and yet the sound bug still plagues Karbala. Id vote for reintroducing the Lynx. Only map its on now is Quinling which is seriously underplayed. Sound bug isnt that bothersome really.

transport helis is something i would very much like to see in Basrah.

sound bug isn't even a big deal... I would rather have a heli to shoot down on al basrah even at the cost of SOMETIMES hearing a helicopter that doesn't move... which usually is figured out to be the sound bug within a few seconds.
