i've noticed some cookyness with choppers. unloaded a whole mag at a hovering Loach on the firebase an an lo...perspex is not at all bullet proof...chopper just flew away no kill message. aside from the the biggest problems with the game are still hit detection, followed by damage models / amounts and horrible sights. then at the end of the list is some fishy players you seem to see on off-times etc.
on a side note, US shotguns seem to have a huge spread or very low damage...or both. I refuse to believe that the hunting shotgun with the full barrel has that much more power than the trench gun and is still deadly out to 50-60 ish meters if lucky but the Trench gun with that ludicrous pump animation (not how i pump my pump guns) in real life.

Pilots in choppers actually have increased bullet resistance. They're literally got bullet proof plating in their flight suit. But yeah otherwise it would be too easy to shoot them.
The loach does have 2 pilots. You may have hit the AI pilot. I have been in a loach where 3 people
unloaded on the front. A dshsk had damaged my engine and rotors as I flew out of sight of it. I ended up low to the ground and struggling to regain altitude. 3 people
opened fire full auto at the front. Co pilot exploded in blood. I don't know how many times my character got hit as there's no damage indicators. But they took my engine out completely while I was at full collective. So I dropped to the ground slightly too fast and died in impact. Looking at the bullet impacts there were none directly in front of me. But there were plenty on the left side of the chopper. I'm not talking about the holes but the actual impact fx that happen.

It kinda does, choppers aren't too difficult to shoot down, especially the loach (i killed one with a pre nerf mat49 once) They usually don't survive a well placed bust of the DshK.

Yeah it would totally be fun to get killed by small arms all the time.
It would be like everyone having their own handheld DshK.

There is only so much "flying to avoid small arms fire" you can do when you're restricted by the map. There are only so many areas you can land infantry and theoretically every single one of them can be camped by guys with an AK or RPD simultaneously.gimpy117;n2305129 said:
Unless, of course, you want pilots landing you on top of your default spawn.

Got a citation on that bullet proof plating worn in the flight suit?Lemonater47;n2305124 said:

Good read gave me a few ideas for a map, I wonder if the maneuver "Snap Shot" he described is possible in RS2....

Ceramic plates. Designed to break the bullet on impact. Much harder than steel. Steel catches the bullet absorbing its force. Unlike a ceramic plate which pushes that force back into the round shattering it. Unless of course you get a really really think steel plate. Which would be extremely heavy in comparison to ceramic material. Downside of ceramic plates is that it's not good at sustaining multiple hits. The reason being because it's brittle. Hence the "do not drop" sign on the armour.

Ah. I guess those came later in the war. My understanding was that what they had early on was either laughable or so heavy and restrictive that they were never worn. I never followed the development of the hardware. My brother flew in '62-63 up until his demise and never heard of him wearing plate. I was only 6 or 7 at the time, but don't recall seeing anything since.

Both steel and ceramic have a hard strike face that blunts, fractures and erodes the projectile, and a soft backing, made from ballistic fibres, that absorbs the residual energy. The only real difference between steel and ceramic is that steel is cheaper and much heavier.Lemonater47;n2305291 said:

That's not a dent.
A dent is it bending inwards.
That's it cracking and bits falling out. But the main structure of the plate is still intact. Like concrete almost. It even says "inelastic" in the thing lol.
