Helicopter crash sites -- what do?

Recommended Posts

It's my understanding that helicopter crash sites spawn at server startup.

Is the placement of a crash site truly random, or are there are a number of predetermined locations, among which the server picks a few?

I think they work similarly to vehicle spawns. I'm guessing from what I have seen through videos and photos, so don't hold me to this haha. But I believe there is a larger set of 'possible' locations, and a small portion of those are selected at random to have crashes there.

I base this off of multiple videos and photos I have seen depicting crash sites. They always seem to be in similar locations (though this may be coincidence.) For example there is one north/north-east of Stary that I have seen in media, as well as in person on several different servers. It isn't always there, but if it is, it's in the same spot. Either coincidence or that is one of the random locations that is being selected.

I believe there are pre-determined locations that the crash sites can spawn at. I have seen them spawn in the same few spots in the NW Airfield as well as along the country side in the northern part of the map.
