They won't shoot it down.
Why? Not because this is an air combat beast. It's because there's usually Cobra and Viper fighters nearby. Those ARE air combat beasts that can down dozens of fighters at the push of a button. @Himynameiswalrus
Lol holy crap fighter bait
@Pilotmario not really. we already spot units 1 KM away
They wouldn't see it. We pop up from behind a mountain, launch a missile, and presto! A platoon is dead. And then we pop down. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario I'm going to be fair. this doesn't stand a chance against a platoon. within 20 Seconds of sight this thing wont be responding back to HQ
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation You're assuming you're able to see it.
this one is like swatting a fly out of the sky! AA Emplacements could just one hit this and its a scrap of metal flying through the sky
Np!
@SteadfastContracting Thanks!
Like it.
Gotcha. @HarperAstrionics
Sure! @AccipitrisEnterprises
I think next time I try to build a VTOL helicopter I will adjust it so it doesn't lean back so far...@Pilotmario
Hmmm, interesting... Mind sending us a couple of OH-3s for evaluation? Our recon helicopter fleet is aging
@Flash0of0green What do you think?
Forgot they were there. @Flash0of0green
On the original one that had that issue to It's a bit Easier to take off with this one though...@Gmanndo1000
Why did you take off the intake but leave the Vtol thrusters on? @Pilotmario
@Pilotmario yep there on high, it just tilts back really hard on takeoff.
@Pilotmario Hmm, lemme check my physics.
Works fine for me. I only tested it on high physics settings. @Gmanndo1000
Nice! BUT, it's pretty backheavy
