Helicopters??????

[coltonlong 211]

So I am in a group who is active, and we need to be able to get around. We have gotten Vehicles before, but an admin took them all. (long story short, he was hoarding vehicles, he marked his camp on the map, and we took a jeep, so he abused his powers and got rid of everything we spent three weeks to get. Im looking at you DeadDogg.) So before we get all sorts of cars and boats, we were considering a crazy chase to get a helicopter just to be badasses. (Like we are gonna do anything but look cool with it. Or crash it. that too.) So does anyone have definitive proof one way or another??? I don't want to waste days to go after something that doesn't exist.

No choppers with 1.7.2.3!

How do you know? was it in any patch notes since it was removed?

[spidey 7]

Because im waiting for choppers like 2 Months. Im pretty sure they arent in the game right now. If you find a working chopper it's hacked. And i saw some videos where the fueltank-bug is gone there. Dont if desync still happens.

Thanks. I'll read through the post removal patch notes to double check.

Yes there are no working choppers.. if there were, people would have them. There's not that many possible spawn locations for them ( at least there weren't before).

This really has been answered repeatedly by the Devs. Helicopters cause uncontrollable lag. It is a problem that BI has to fix in a beta patch. Use the search function and I guarantee that you'll be able to find it (either Anders or Viper was talking about it, and I'm pretty sure it was Anders)
