Player Heli Crashes

[itscolt 30]

This suggestion is only relevant if helicopters/other aircraft vehicles and helicopter crash sites will be implemented into the game.

 

Let's say you found a helicopter in DayZ standalone, you load your gear and other valuables into it to save room, you take off. But "uh oh!", you've a novice pilot - you've never flown before! Oh well, "How hard can it be?". You take-off smoothly, you remember from those videos you've watched that auto hover is your best friend. You get to that perfect altitude and are ready to begin your journey, so, you turn auto hover off and tip the heli forward. "Whoops!" you've tipped too much, better pull back! "Uh-oh!", you've pulled back too much as well. You're beginning to panic! You struggle, pressing all sorts of keys trying to straighten out, by the time you scroll wheel over auto hover; BOOM! "You are dead".

 

Now what happens to that heli? It is now a helicopter crash site, the gear that was in your helicopter is laid out on the ground for scavengers to loot.

I always wondered why this wasn't in the mod.

this would be cool. you can see a heli crash over long distance. so it can become a awesome hotspot.

 

for da lootz!!

It would probably all be ruined or very damaged, though.

Good point, and someone who is flying a chopper (at least in the SA) probably has pretty good gear. Either that or they stole it.

I like this idea, though there would have to different types of crashes. A helicopter does not crash the same way every time, and they can start on fire too.

Also this could bring up the idea of scavenging for parts of that helicopter, not just what was in the gear. Depending on how that helicopter crashes I'm sure some parts would be intact.
