EDIT: I'm so tired I lack basic reading skills I post in the wrong forum.. GO ME!
Moderator please move to the TT Forum please?
So.. Of course.. Transport Helicopters are great when you fill 'em up, get past the AGT/Oblisk and kill the refinery / PP on Flying, but um.. that's about it.
Know the little machine gun on the side.. is it possible to make it work..? of course this could disrupt the gameplay but.. if it's only strong enough to kill players but weak against tanks (excluding recon bikes, hum-vee's and buggy's) ?
and is it possible if a transport helicopter can pick up tanks and transport them across the map?
I know you guys might be limited to Renegade code (and I'm fairly sure you don't have the Source code to renegade) but if it's possible.. maybe have a community vote?
The transport Helicopter could be so much more useful.
also 'scuse the poor grammar.. I'm tired.
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

if you want to make the chinook worth its cost, simply change its armour from light_vehicle to heavy_vehicle. that would give it the same durability as a stealth tank.
doing your suggestions would fundamentally change the way the game is played on flying maps, which isn't the point of the patch.

I say make it a little faster. Changing the armor will obviously make APCS obsolete on flying maps.

Not at all, they're cheaper and can actually defend themselves... whereas buggies and humvees actually are obsolete on flying maps once you can afford the 500 for an APC>

Let me add two words - for rushes. Heck even now in a 50 player server sometimes no one notices the transport. 95% of the time they don't make it to the enemy's base though.

It is possible to allow the Chinook to carry tanks using the JFW_Carry scripts, and then just have the chain guns as separate vehicles attached to the Chinook.
This would of course de-balance the game, but it can be done with a little bit of work on an objects.ddb file server-side.

Unfortunately text cannot display the emotion that talking does, and so I believed that you did not know.
