Poll: Do you like the new Huey? - Page 2

Hm, that's weird, I took off easily there.

I love the huey. As dunehunter said, it doesn't climb well, but staying close to the terrain is very easy, and I found landing in it much easier. The combination of skids and an upward angled tail boom make it much easier to flare at the last second, where with the BH flaring generally made me smack the tail into the ground, flip over, and die.

The huey is 100% better than the BH. I would like to see copilot get the FLIR to use though, even if just for kicks.

I've tested Huey on local and I noticed that warmup sound is shorter than warmup time (... or maybe it's just me

), it may confuse some players (and cause flips

)

don't like it, too slow ascending, waaaaaaaay to sensitive, plus seems very crashable taking off for some reason, like it lists and veers to the side all of a sudden for no apparent reason..

Havn't tried...Heard it was THE SECKS

I really like it, but the light on the tail needs to be taken off. I think that maybe one of the reasons why Archer is crashing? Wasn't that one of the reasons why maps had problems back in 0.5 I believe because of the lights on the tails of the other choppers like LBs?

I think that it still has the 30-second delay, yet the start up sounds only last for ~25-seconds. So the sounds tell you its safe to take off, yet it wobbles around and you can't. When i tried taking off after the sounds finished, it wobbled around, the next time i got in, i waited a bit longer and take off was fine.

I love it myself, the skids let you come in really fast and low and you dont take hardly any damage.

I usually suck with flying copters, but I tried the Huey today (on a full public server, I couldn't resist =P) and I actually managed to fly around with it without messing things up. Somehow it doesnt feel as sensitive to my mouse like other copters.

When it comes to piloting I must say that I prefer the BH (much easier to handle those big choppers) but since I ain't no pilot and the Huey is the main transport chopper of the USMC IRL I really like that the Devs have introduced it.
