Mi-17: Deployable Vehicle

[Fryd Chickunz 2]

If the mechanics could be done properly, I think it would be beneficial to have a cargo variant of the Mi-17 have a chance to spawn.

There could be a small cargo door either on one of the sides or in the rear. From this cargo bay, the passengers could have the option to switch to a small stored vehicle, such as a couple of bicycles or an ATV and drive out of the heli (then drive back on and reenter later). This could allow groups to split up and cover more ground (searching land and air) or just help out some stranded survivors.

To make room for this, the seats could be reduced to a modest 6-8 people, maybe less space for items as well.

Yeah, that'd be nice, but the devs'd have to make an entirely new vehicle and script it differently. And I doubt it'd be done for a long while.

Yes, something to look at further down the line for sure.

This would be nice although I think people would just airlift their vehicles to skalisky island or that one 15km from elektro.

All the reason to make it work for only a small, fairly common, or even inferior vehicle.

In that case get a couple nades and blow them all up

It would be better to just add the Chinook helicopter.

Have you guys played Arma2? you may get your vehicle kicks from there, Findind Chinooks and Russian aircraft may be a tad too difficult in the Furture Chernarus.

Several sling loading scripts exist, i cant imagine it would be too hard to add it.

Whatever would be easier for the devs. Might be better for them to stick with what they have already, though.

I'd like it if you could load bicycles in any vehicle (that isn't a motorcycle or ATV)

Maybe some variant like a mountain bike that would do well getting up hills offroad.
