Use for transport helis.

As far as I am aware. The transport helis in game are useless. It would be cool to see them used for rescuing sailors that abandon ship. also hopefully a variant of infantry comes to the game so the helis can drop marines or soldiers off into battle.

I very much doubt we will see infantry of any form, but you CAN use transport helis to simulate troop insertion or SAR mission. Just because they are empty doesn't mean you can't use them for something.
There is even a mod that add invisible helipads so your transports can land somewhere.

You could setup trigger areas where the transport heli enters and generates a message of "RESCUED!" and then they have to return to their home base to land. Maybe it is a high threat area and you would need to do strikes prior to the transport arriving so that it survives?

You could do anything like that... the same for say creating a mission where a SEAL team would need to arrive and be inserted in a specific area.

Just a way of using them in missions. For example, I created one where two H-46 transport helis were tasked with arriving at a specific area without being shot down... they had Cobras for an escort that arrived prior to and eliminated ground forces before they arrived to remove the threat. Once they arrived it triggered an event that troops were extracted and they had to then return to the ship.

You could even add another area trigger that they would need to "drop" the troops to also before returning to the ship.

There are a ton of options to use these if can think of them.

I hope it helps.

You can use them for scouting visually, without risking one of your specialized helicopters, losing a lift chopper is nothing dramatic.

Or dropping off navy seals on land ?

From what ive heard in the past weeks they dont plan infantry, but if they introduce LHDs lift choppers could be used to transport non amphibious vehicles from your ship to the nearby land to cover up areas with possibly AA systems even if its only a hmmwv avenger on tiny island, this would make more sense in the longer run.
