Jazmina 3 Posted November 4, 2019 1.05 version So started on a private server the helicopters would have smoke, so you could spot them. But now there is no smoke on any type of helicopter if you manage to spot one its just pure luck. Is this a bug? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But now there is no smoke on any type of helicopter if you manage to spot one its just pure luck. Is this a bug? Well it looks like that you're never player in DayZ Mod. So why UH1-Y wreck has smoke? 'Cause BI added dynamic effects because there's no Red compain and they desired do add Mi8/17/24 without smokin' wrecks. So why Mi8 wreck has no smoke but UH1-Y has!? 'Cause it's tribute to traditions of DayZ Mod. Now let's talk about wreckages types. In DayZ SA there's a 2 copter type of wreckages. 1st. UH-1Y if NATO-side wreckage that contains often NATO-weapons (M4A1, Winchester 70, etc...) but that model has a dynamic smoke and this wreckage has low count of loot points. 2nd. Mi-8/17 it's a Russian-side wreckage. It will contains Soviet/Russian types of weapons (SVD-M (in game called SVD but in real it's a SVD Modernized)0, Mosin rifle, SKS, AKs and other soviet stuff. BUT this wreckage has no smoke mark and it's hard to find and as a gift, Mi-8/17 wreckages has more loot point (10 vs 7 at UH-1Y). So that's all about helicrashes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McWendy 675 Posted November 4, 2019 Heli crash hunting has always been about luck. There used to be a very efficient route you could follow which would lead you past a lot of possible heli spawns. It used to have really good loot thats why spawns were dynamic. Haven't seen a heli in ages myself, but i dont Hunt then actively anymore. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McWendy 675 Posted November 6, 2019 Saw a russian heli on Livonia. Dont know if that counts 😎 Some mil clothes, few smoke grenades nothing spectacular. Still seeing one in the distance always puts a smile on my face. Especially if it's the US/nato helo with smoke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let me just log in, do a quick loop, hop, loop back, log out and go about my business. Im kinda glad that's not really possible anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
