Combat Overhaul Made Helicopter Door Gunner POWERFUL! 

Helos are already OP in a lot of areas when you can use them well. Combine that with the teleporting, obscene HP pool, now with the benefits they get from ICO and any aditional buff would probably be way too much overboard. Scouting with them is sometimes downright game breaking. A good gunner and pilot can easily shut down any logi play and move around the map extremely quickly, etc. For a 1 or 2 men vehicle they can do so much without much or no help from other teammates. I'd be careful before wishing for additional buffs.

@@Unga_Bunga With respect, it's almost like a competent use of air power is enough to punish and ruin enemy plans.

This would be a dream

I think more realistic damage model would help too. Its a it ridiculous some might vehicles can just take several hits from tanks and still operate. And having a more detailed interior UI would be very immersive

Arma has had this for ages!

​@Ravencof but this isn't arma, the servers a mostly dead too on arma a fresh game with tho mechanics would be perfect

27th september confirmed

Exactly my thoughts. Every time he spoke I was like why is he struggling to breathe?

That wasn’t the pilot that was me

And sorry my mic is super sensitive

@@ikumno9003 nah don't worry it's funny. Actually i may have played with you recently. The breathing gave it away.

manpads will fuck most pilots

I think the game would become a lot less fun with cas helis just dominating every match. It'll end up with whoever has the best pilot/ gunner combo wins the round.

It was part of the infantry combat overhaul playtest.

@@immDroidz oh alr

I hope not. it's Squad. Infantry game. There is Arma for that.

Skill issue

Why did it seem that way and why shouldnt you?

Phone island?

Hah he is actually really good 😄

@@FriendlyNikolai good on you sticking up for him, just tell him to fly higher so you don't get pegged by infantry! Lmao

@@michaelgmail5968Bro what, the higher you fly the more likely you he is to miss shots and die to armor who can see him from farther away. Fast and low always to divert attention 100%

@@michaelgmail5968Tell me you've never flown without telling me you've never flown 💀

@@twixmix9310 its way harder to hit a chopper at 100m elevation moving at 30mph than one at 50 going 15. If you take enemy fire you can always dive to terrain flight and disengage. Generally speaking these types of helicopters aren't meant for seek and destroy, side guns are for suppression to assist in clearing or maintaining a landing zone. When the guns are in the pilot's hands its far easier to stay low and fast since there's only one person making the decision of when to engage and how they'll engage. When you have the delay in command to the pilot for deviation of fire you're already losing critical time in a battle. The goal then for the pilot should be to hold a decent enough altitude that your side gunner doesn't lose gun depression but also isn't at a low enough speed to be hit by incoming enemy fire. Frankly with the amount of ammo available to the side gunner they've got plenty more room for error than the people on the ground firing back, mainly due to the feedback from rounds hitting near the target area.

It’s a play test dude . Of course it’s not gonna be great.

@@kissmyassproductions676 yeah but we are on number 7 already. And the cpu singlethread stuff is very hard to optimize

@@Felix3301 squad has always been a little slow in the optimisation side. Also it doesn't matter which play test it is, i wouldn't expect such a big upgrade to be rushed.

Then you remember the enemy has tanks, armored vehicles or light vehicles, and if they have 2 braincells they will use it to support and defend the infantry from helicopters

@@alexisruhl2916 and then you’ll realise that you can just tell your team exactly where the vics are at all times without even needing to do any doorgunning, and let them cut them off. Then you get an armor kill, AND kill an entire inf squad, because it is simply inefficient to transport infantry in anything other than logis or maybe AAVPs cos they’re complete tanks. We didn’t need an entire infantry overhaul for this to happen.

@@Scriptum. At the start of the round is efficient, at the rest of the round maybe not (depends on how's the round going)

@@alexisruhl2916 of course, games can be unpredictable. Shoving armor near the end of a game is always a gamble, especially in comp. Pubs it’s more successful mainly due to a lack of coordination between players on the cap. It can be fun.

Is your whole personality “ICO bad?”
