Pyongo Bongo 242 Posted April 1, 2023 Nine years after early access start, SEVEN YEARS after showcasing working aircraft ingame at TwitchCon, six years after teasing an airplane coming to the game, four and a half years after FULL RELEASE They have finally done it! Aircraft in the game! Just kidding, it's just a prank bro! xD!! Laugh!!! (1.21 Jet DLC official video released by Bohemia on April 1) Will we actually get aircraft EVER? I am worried we won't and the game stays unfinished. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jevez 34 Posted April 1, 2023 It feels less and less likely as time goes on, but I really hope we'll see helicopters some day. Mods have proven that you can make some decent helis in the current game, and you'd imagine they'd be even better if the devs went all in on them, I guess it's just a question of if they want to or not.. it'd be a tragedy if they've written them off completely, I pray that isn't the case. I personally don't care much about planes, or even having weaponized helis, I'd just like helis for the transport, atmosphere and fun encounters between players.

Get excited for a new type of alarm clock which we really need 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riddick_2K 174 Posted April 3, 2023 Helicopters aren't really needed, they're just "American extravagance" from Hollywood movies. Planes would be like flies in a jar, even on fairly large maps like Chernarus+. Rather, what would have been to add immediately at the start would be some decent boats. The ones from the "Expansion" mod literally suck, but recently there's a modder who's doing a really good job. His boats actually float (they're not retextured wave-cutting vehicles like Expansion). Search for "RedFalcon Watercraft". How can you have a map with a lot of sea and no boats at all?!? Even just for Chernarus, without thinking about the modded maps, Deer Isle in the first place. This, in my opinion, is a serious shortcoming. Fortunately filled by a good modder, finally. If we talk about types of vehicles, obviously... because there would be many "serious shortcomings", and not only as objects of use, but also as the possibility of doing or "not doing"... but if we start making a list of what's missing, we can't finish it anymore... it's always DayZ. I'm just saying that "luckily there are modders"... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonyeh 454 Posted April 8, 2023 The game doesn't need anything like helicopters or airplanes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
General Zod 1118 Posted April 10, 2023 Working boats and some interesting islands would be a great addition to the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
