Paratrooper Idea thread
 

Ok People This thread is about ideas and ways to help paratrooping and planes in fh2.

I got an idea. You know how you can only make 8 people in a plane? Think you could make the whole entire plan have it when you hit the hulls because of the shity engine, instead of flying out of it make it so you just bounce back? Or we can make it so when you enter the vehicle you are magnetised to it enough to you can still move but really slow or until the pilot presses a button?

more people for some jamoke to tk. Keep it real and just spawn more planes. I take it your are speaking of Crete. The transport spawns very quickly.

I'm speaking on behalf of all airborne maps and planes. I just wanna try to figure out how we can get more people into a plane. Also I would love if we could have 128 players lol. Would be sick.

The lag

Also the BF2 engine does not allow more than 64 players at a time.

If you get more people into a plane it A. Makes more people to tk B. Makes it so a single Bofors gun kills your whole team. Just get more planes like it was in real life. There's no point to fitting the whole team in one plane.

8 people in a a plane is pretty pointless. Really really really pointless. If your going to carry troops to a drop zone atleast have 12 in each plane.

I'd love to see Random Chute Failures. :cool: :rofl:

I'd like to see the delay and animation of getting the chute off as well as the chutes staying there for awhile

When 8 people is more than a quarter of your team it is not. And the assault on Crete was performed by hundreds of JU52s and other transports, NOT three with a third of your team in each.

Have you ever really played FH with a good organized squad or in a clan? An 8 man group jumping from a plane, coordinating fire to level flag zones, that's a thing to behold. 8 people is more than enough to capture a flag in this type of game.

I agree

Playing organized, with a clan (team) especially with Voip can be deadly to the other team. Still, it'd be nice to see real scale in these games even if Bots. Imagine, hundreds of soldiers going at it.

Sigh maybe when the time comes when pr dev get their own studio and make the project reality game how they wanted it to be. Well any more suggestions, this is a paratrooper suggestion thread you know =o. Hmm I was wondering when your sitting in the plane and you press E will you stll be in the plan or outside? Also when the plan is hit and you are going down will we stilll be able to bail if your a paratroopper? Would be cool but depends.

I think it would be a good idea if your parachute where to automaticly deploy the moment you jump out of the plane and from a large height that would prevent people from deploying the parachute 5 meters above the ground.

I also believe that BF2 won't support the get it, and then bail to be inside of the plane.

So, in my mind, the only way to have more people in a JU is to make each seat or a few seats a seperate vehicle, joined with the other vehicles to make one plane. You would bail outside the plane where an auto chute deploy can be crafted.

The problem is that this will probably lag much more. And damage may be off for the pilot (unless you do something like make the plane, then the seat-vehicles inside of it, which are destroyed when the plane goes).

Spawn on and immediately drop (like the para tables in FH1) will probably be the only way to go in FH2. An idea I have in this aspect is either try to recreate the Paratable, or give a paraplane the max ammount of slots, with one pilot, while the team can spawn on it and fill the seats. Then when it's full, nobody else can spawn in on it until somebody bails.

Still, I wouldn't expect a flyable JU able to carry two-thirds of the team in FH2.

You could possibly be inside, but have a better animation of you standing up, and walking to the door, and jumping.

Heres a thought: On a map like Crete, have 2 or even 3 transport planes spawn side by side. All problems solved.

Honestly, I don't know why we don't have that in 0.7.

Because that would require a huge airfield.

Hmm how huge? More land for the Germans could be added to the East, enough for at least another plane. But anyway it's pointless to discuss that now since it's FH2 that's being worked on now, not FH anymore.

So I say now that we will be able to have like 17km sq maps in FH2 this issue can easily be fixed, so we could even have 8 Ju52s for the whole team =p

Most airfields are wide enough for 2 planes side by side, I admit carriers are sometimes a gong show to get off of, but I think it could be done.

Will the modders be able to put all your primary weapons in a container like the fallshirmjaeger did? ;)
The mad scramble once you landed to get a weapon..
Aye, would be cool to have your whole team up in the skies and then parachute onto an objective.

What a fab idea. I like it.

Although I'd assume you'd have a rifle still ?

Well, you'll probably will land with nothing but a pistol like in RL. Unless, ofcourse the devs decide to add gliders which mean you'd be able to land with your kit.

Gliders would be great.

I see raping, lots of raping, so better no or make it optional somehow.

P.S Yes, the idea is great, but you must count on the legion of fags and statkids who also play this game.
