FAQ: New vehicles when?

Originally posted by Paolo:

New vehicles will continue to be either entirely fictional and/or a fictional combination of real existing or conceptualized aircraft.
The goal is to bring in at least a few completely new gameplay mechanics with each vehicle.
There won't really be a point of adding a new vehicle that can only do the same things as the other existing ones.

So what specifically do you want to do that existing vehicles can't?

A Search and rescue chopper?

[Aeroneer]

Search and rescue would be sick, I know the AV-42 has that already but its main purpose isn't search and rescue. Also, because there is literally 1 helicopter in the game, seeing a new one with more seats than the AV-42 and possibly with EW capability for self defence would be a really cool thing to see in my opinion

Chill out, it's one dev. Let them do what they want.

We're talking about VTOL VR

[Rockethead293]

So what would you use a SAR chopper for? You can already do SAR in the AV-42C, and there's an official mission that literally has you do SAR in it.

You want to play a rescue helicopter in VR.

I would love a tanker similar to the kc42. Because the plane is so multi capable it could be used for transport, refueling or something of similar nature. Plus I enjoy flying big planes in other games. Would be cool to see something bigger in vtol as well.

I want a combat version of the 42. More sleek, maybe with a backup thrust engine centered on the aircraft so if you lose an engine its not a nightmare to try and fly back (fun fact, the V22 Osprey is able to power both rotors from one engine with an interconnecting system. so if they lose an engine both rotors still get powered)
Seeing as the 42 engines being outside and very easily hit makes its combat endurance not very good compared to the A-10.

But id rather have the ground combat part of the game fleshed out wayyyyy more before a new aircraft right now. Like ground forces launched from the ships making land fall or dropping troops off at air bases to actually take them over. Needing to fly in supplies to the air bases to be able to actually spawn or re-arm at them. Covering spawning land forces to help them push into the enemy to take over.
Rescuing downed pilots to recover aircraft lives for respawning (would just be a static AI pilot character left behind where ever your ejected pilot lands)
This kind of stuff id prefer over a new aircraft.
But for a different aircraft, want a utility helicopter with alot of mod possibilities for it, make it a sky tank for ground assault, ship hunter, SAR, recon. EW, drone launcher.
Be like the 42 of rotor world, slower but have a way longer hover/loiter time than the 42
