Helicopters break the game!

[twiggy]

once you get like $7000, you can buy a helicopter with a mini gun, missles, and flares. you can literally just fly to each outpost and kill everyone instantly. throw in the perk that restores the health of vehicles while your driving them and you become invincible. you can respawn it for free anytime and anyplace which lets you spawn choppers.
planes suck because they are hard to fly and you cant hover/reverse like a chopper.

they should have made it so it costs money to respawn a chopper every time or up the price by a lot...

So if you find it to easy wiht a helicopter don't use it...

This is not a flight simlator..And it would be stupid to design it as such..

THEN DONT USE IT. What are you not understanding? Your lack of self control should not dictate how i get to play the game, learn how to control yourself instead.

but its in the game and its meant to be bought and used -.- why dont you understand that?

so use the helicopter in moderation........

I mean come on how hard is it to just not use something you don't like. I've never taken an outpost with a helicopter, becasue its not my playstyle. Some people love using the heli I see no issues here.

hey i never i said that i didnt like using the helicopter, its really fun to fly around and shoot stuff, its just the game creators fault for not putting a penalty or downside to using the helicopter 24/7.

I take outposts down fast and easy with a silenced sniper rifle. I don't think outposts are really meant to be hard. If the chopper isn't fun for you then use one of the several other easy ways to take down outposts. If it is fun for you then use it. There really isn't a problem here.

but your the type to cry about a penalty or downside if they did put them in.

Helo has drawbacks too. Runs out of ammo quickly, kills hostages and civilians, sets off alarms so reinforcements keep coming, etc. But very fun to fly no doubt.

So you're having fun and you want that to change?

[BaPef AmHeh]

Helicopters and planes will reveal the map and location fast travel markers if you fly just above the tree tops.

I get the the complaint of the OP. I feel like it "cheapens" the experience to have to make your own rules to add difficulty.

It would be a great mechanic of they would add RPG guys that spawn after a while to shoot you down. At least on hard mode or something. I mean they gave us Wing Suies and Parracutes for a reason right?

the minigun is the only weapon you need and its unlimited ammo lol.

yes it kills hostages and civilians, but who cares? theres no downside and if you really care then you can actually shoot carefully and avoid killing hostages (im good at it by now), you can also get good at only shooting the drivers of prisoner vans (im not so good at this yet)

ive actually caputred outposts without setting off the alarm becuase the mini gun and missles destroy everyone before they can reach the alarm lol. anyways its actually more fun for reinforcements to come because its more fools to kill easily.

not only is it fun to fly the choppers but its the best and fastest mode of transportation in the game. you can land literally anywhere.

Misunderstoood then, but honestly I don't see them making significant balance changes on this. This game is meant to be pretty casual. hopefully they add in more planes spawns to fight you in the air if you have a helicopter or plane might make it more interesting at least to get in a dogfight.

true, that would be cool but still, using a helicopter to fight a plane is so easy in this game. the plane has to take time to turn around and aim directly at you, by time that happens, you can just turn around instantly and shoot it to death with your chopper.
