Idea: IR strobes for chopper - Page 2

how about give them the non lock looking thing you have on the friendlie jets for example.
and you could trow them on youre position, and they know not to engage that position.

Can't you see boxes from the SOFLAM? so you can even mark infantry targets (and shoot the boxes...)

Also SL order markers work wonders.

Have I missed a screening of blackhawk down?

ReaperAce712 · 07-21-2008, 08:32 PM

this is a really good idea!!!!

good example of this is in the movie Blackhawk Down

Well.. there many way to find out if its friend or foe... but since the Attack helicopter is intended to take out Armored vehicule ( wich are very easy to identify...) if you cant know if its friendly you got 3 choices, ask in team chat if there any friend near you.. pass to an Armored treath or simply shoot whit 50% chance of getting TK's... lol!

We already have that, SOFLAMs (G.L.T.D. or whatever we're calling it nowadays).

Yes. I don't think that in real life an attack chopper would engage a group of people without confirming it first, which would take time. The time taken for you to check your map would account for this.

LudacrisKill · 07-22-2008, 07:48 AM

agreed. Ive never teamkilled or my gunner has never teamkilled in my history of PR. How? well its quite easy to see the difference in enemy camo. Secondly you should be chcking that mini map very often.

markonymous · 07-22-2008, 07:56 AM

Its not necessary at all i fly/gun in attack helos all the time and i still haven't managed to teamkill. Its easy to spot the difference between troops and there are much more pressing issues that need fixing.

Edit: i really should read the post above mine before posting :P

Nah no need, check minimap as you always should. If not certain if it is enemies or friendlies dont engage. And the most important thing to remember, just because you are in the most powerfull vehicle on the battlefield doesn't mean you should shoot every enemy, sometimes it is wiser to just leave them.

	Some guy on another forum- "I'm an athiest so i don't believe in the apocalypse. The rest of you are ****ed." To deny all the qualities of a being is equivalent to denying the being itself. A being without qualities is one which cannot become an object of the mind, and such a being is virtually non-existent.
