Little Bird MH-6J and MH-6J enhancements

[winchesterdelta1]

I dont know if PR actually has a Littlebird. But if they do or if it will get implemented in the future i think alot of players would appreciate these enhancements showed in the Shacktac MH-6J and MH-6J.

The main features i think are fantastic is that you can finally switch Pilots seats with the Co-Pilot in cases of death or if the pilot needs to get a cup of coffee or beer
Also its finally possible to fire from the passenegr seats in a normal fasion.
Just check the video and read the description on soem other great enhancements.

Quote Dslyecxi :
The Littlebird Enhancement Mod currently adds things that are intended to more robustly represent what the MH-6J and AH-6J are capable of. Specific features are as follows for the MH-6J:
-
- Precision mounting
- Precision dismounting
- Copilot movement to skid
- Movement between seats on skid
- Copilot/pilot transfer of aircraft controls
- Firing from the skid seats

The AH-6J has the following features currently:
- Corrected rates of fire & ammo consumption:
- 2000rpm mode gives approximately 3 minutes of continuous fire
- 4000rpm mode gives approximately 1m30s of continuous fire

Note that the M134 door guns are also influenced by these fixes.

The littlebird is pretty much in use only by spec ops so does not really fit the theme of this mod and that is the reason why it will not be seen around. Perhaps in the future when different kind of maps start showing up around the community that are not just coin or aas or ad type missions. Perhaps then there is room for a Little bird in somekind of extract or kill leader type gameplay or mission.

Anyways if the LB gets implemented sometime then sure this mod would be great, but knowing shacktac - Pr relations there needs to be some creamy words for them to allow it to be used.

There used to be a Blufor Little Bird on Feruz Abad Resistance in previous versions but I haven't seen it any more. Don't know if its' been removed or only spawns under certain balancing conditions. Assume the former.

In any case, if they are no longer present I imagine it may be because of the PR dev preference (which I support) for focusing on standard/conventional infantry rather than special forces etc. I understand MH6J Little Birds etc are more likely deployed for special operations.

Cheers,

Facepalm.... I can remember a post now stating the same you just said. I totally forgot.
Just forget about it.. unless there are some future plans to implement the LB.

Atleast the Pilot/Copilot and seat switching should be in PR.

I understand why the DEVs don't like incorporating (or trying to) other mods into this one. But you've gotta admit having a couple slots on the Blackhawks with the ability to fire from them would be a cool thing to be featured in Arma if one of our devs came up with a separate add on. Dreams will be dreams.

I think your suggestion is still good none the less. Maybe PR is not ready for the Little Bird yet but some of the features incorperated by Dyslexi are pretty sweet and would be great all round.

- Seat switching
- Precision drops
- Co-Pilot/Pilot control switching
- Fastropes (Okay that was not in there and hardly used, but hey.)

Got to ask the questions, can the pilot/copilot switch seats in reality? Do many of the helo's have dual controls?

Don't know the answer as my rear belongs on the ground

Hey,

In reality for nearly all side by side seating aircraft both pilots can actually fly without having to switch seats as both have control columns in-front of them.

However that would cause a lot of confusion, even in the game so there is usually a dedicated pilot flying (PF) and pilot not flying. (PNF) In an airline it is up to company policy who does what though, in terms of PF/PNF but in PR I'm sure the teams can manage themselves.

Sadly I coudn't find any videos on Youtube to demonstrate this but I'm sure it can be verified by some of the PR team specialist advisory staff.
