Everything but the hull was red as a tomato.
That's after we landed in a bunch zombies. It was as green as grass until I had to cut the engine to stop the infinite pirouette. Your shots did not do all of that damage while we were in the air' date=' at any rate, this is a pointless thread, I'll not be posting in it any longer. I'll notify you later after I do a couple of tail rotor tests to see if you can indeed screw up a tail rotor even with green indicators.

Something tells me that your pride's getting in the way. You flew into an ambush and were killed for it. The chopper went down under fire, likely due to pilot error.
And nice evasion.
The chopper was shot up. You claimed the need to repair it, and did so. You must have some pretty awesome luck to come up with the necessary parts to do so within such a short amount of time.

Guys' date=' I'm fine with the morals surrounding the fact that they ambushed me. It's a danger I accept whenever I land a helicopter. This time, I didn't bring any of my normal support crew with me, I was just flying a bunch of random strangers around for fun. I knew that friendlies asking for help at the control tower was sketchy, but I went anyway. I still managed to sneak back in, kill one of them, sneak past their noses, repair my helicopter, and take off while under fire from them, which was extremely nerve-wracking but extremely rewarding.
Please don't turn this into a morals thread. Players have the choice to do whatever they want in this game just like they do in real life; they can be the most disreputable denizen, or the most amiable angel, or somewhere in between, and I like that, it's what makes this game so exciting.
The only real argument I had in this thread was over whether they "destroyed" a helicopter or whether they actually managed to force it to land. I know for a fact they didn't technically "destroy" it, and I'll have to experiment with the tail rotor to see the cause behind its failure. I'm not sure if it was related to damage as simply cutting the engine and restarting the helicopter was enough to get it flying perfectly again the other time it happened, but I'll give you the results of my tests sometime in the near future to see if the tail rotor is so fragile that it will stop working even with green indicator lights.

One salient point from this post:
"...managed to sneak back in, kill one of them, sneak past their noses, repair my helicopter, and take off while under fire from them."
So, just out of curiosity, how did you manage to acquire the stuff you'd need to make repairs, and then leg it back to the airfield in under twenty minutes? Keep in mind, you were the first person I shot, followed by the guy with the Enfield. Your name showed up as "killed."
The person who tried to fly off with your chopper claims that most everything was red.

Actually' date=' I fly just fine. When I started spinning all of the helicopter's status bars were green, meaning that even if you did fire at the helicopter it did not take damage until we landed. Believe it or not, there are still some technical errors, one of them being the infinite spinning helicopter(I'm not sure whether this occurred to anyone else or is just a result of a rather cheap laser mouse, it would seem to be game-related as my character didn't start random spinning when I exited the chopper).
So, really, the thread should be titled "Killed survivors exiting a helicopter" rather than "So I shot down a helicopter today."

Once again, awfully convenient timing for a technical error.
In stock ARMA and ACE, small arms fire really doesn't do any damage to the choppers unless you get lucky and pop the pilot. Most seem to be armored up to .50 caliber in ACE; stock, doesn't really matter. Choppers don't really take damage from 30 rounds of 7.62x39 (what I fired at your cockpit; not sure what the others shot). From the ground, it sure looks like you panicked while getting shot at, made a few dramatic moves while low to the ground (by the way, another reason we waited for you to get low -- less room to maneuver), and hit the ground. Armed with light weapons, that's a pretty good end result.
We're in this for our own entertainment. We were thoroughly entertained. Have fun trying to defend it. You screwed up, definitely in judgment and very likely in skill. And honestly, I'm kind of glad you've got your chopper back. Kind of cool to see somebody have a working vehicle; most I've seen is an ATV.

Pics of aftermath (crew bodies disappeared for some reason).
That's not a destroyed helicopter.
This is a destroyed helicopter.
And you conveniently went into a spin after we opened up? LOL. Sounds like somebody needs to work on their piloting. Military AARs tend to list such actions as "crashed due to ground fire."
Really doesn't matter, man. You were dumb enough to trust... random people, with a chopper. Your crew and passengers got killed. In the process, one of us was killed. From our perspective, with non-explosive weapons (we had a shotgun, a CZ, and an AK), we got what we wanted: hilarity and rage. The only real bright spot from the actions you took was that you actually followed through; until we heard your rotors, we were convinced that you and a few others were just trolling. So props to you for that. Enjoy your chopper; you probably put quite a bit of work into it.

I got my Helicopter back and killed one of you.
Try harder.
haha ! +1
Not necessarily. After taking out ~6 zombies below the chopper' date=' we simply shifted fire into the cockpit and crew compartments. The chopper went into a spin, and hit the ground.
We've got screens of the destroyed chopper. Stand by.
Edit: and yes, you did. Only reason you're still alive is because your cockpit's bulletproof, by the way. Future reference: can't shoot through vehicle glass, guys.

your first post you say you convinced him to land howeer you say here he went into a spin seems like 2 storys to me either way you failed by not keeping said chopper LOL
So where are the pics of the destroyed chopper ?
The guy who took them is still in game.
We asked for a ride from Balota to NW Airfield. He came in for a landing. Should have made that more clear; there was some confusion, probably due to lag, but he spun (on my screen) for about 15 seconds.

There was a gunfight on the ground, but the chopper itself was green, with many cracks on it, shattered glass, etc. As in, not functional. Yes, we tried to fly it out.

Screenshots will be along shortly.
Incident occurred approx. 12:20AM 05/25/2012 on Virginia 25. Pilot was called 'Chernarus Transport.' I convinced the chopper to land at Balota Airfield to pick me up. After going through the motions (killing the zombies attracted to the noise), the chopper set down. We opened up on the crew and passengers. All targets killed, much loot taken.
Shooters were:

Temos
Grim
Again, screens will be along shortly.
baiting people always fun

You guys are too obvious with your baiting. Not just you, personally, but over the past few days I've noted stuff like this:
"Party in Cherno"
"Free blood transfusions in Elektro"
"Hey can somebody come to the church and bring me blood?"
Stuff like that is just stupid. It reads exactly like what it is: a trap, and I'm surprised people run into it. Me? I'll call out reports of bandits at, say, Balota Airfield, and maybe throw in a bit of the "I just died" rage chat. It has a pretty good success rate; people always seem to want to try their chances at known conflict. However, there isn't much of a chance when you're dealing with two people in the ATC on the doors, and a sniper calling out what you're doing and occasionally killing you outright. That method netted us 14 kills over a two-hour period the other night, with one guy coming back twice (guess he didn't get the message the first time).
