If Helicopters are coming back ...

[bond1971@tpg.com.au 92]

I note in the new patch notes that helis might be coming back in. This poses some concerning questions -

At this stage he who has a copter can simply fly quickly over the map, spot the vehicles that are trying to be hidden by parking in woods or mountain tops, they can also see easily large camps.

Example -

I wont name the server but on this particular server I stumbled across a large sprawling camp with about 10 tents in it, it was located on top of a flat hill which made it invisible from the ground. But a heli would see it easily as it was in the open and it even had a nice flat landing area near it. They could empty this camp quickly and easily ?

If you are bringing in helicopters could you also implement some sort of camouflage that we can find and affix to vehicles or tents to help (ie like scrap metal is used on vehicles). This wont be a silver bullet for this problem might help to conceal tents in wooded areas ?

To those that are going to be abusive or dismissive without fully understanding this issue then dont bother responding as I will not respond back. Im just stating this as I think a large amount of the community have become lax with concealing their stuff due to no airborne craft in the game, but that will change very soon.

You can easily hide a car in the woods dude.

Nah give the guys who find the helicopter a distinct advantage over the hoarders.

So they can become the hoarders?

all hes asking for is camo netting. big deal. Just say you like the idea already so they can add them. the more things in the game that you can do, the funner.
