Chopper glitch?

[Inya 12]

Hey guys,

so today i had a lucky day with finding a nice Truck full with stuff and a fully working Chopper.

We had some fun over the day but later on we were seen by another chopper.

With the time they found our hiding spot. I could easily defend on of their attacks.

It seems like that made them angry and try to steal the chopper with a glitch.

I watched our chopper and their chopper carefully. After flying for 10 minutes over our hiding spot, they just turned the nose of their chopper down and flew to the ground, just next to my chopper. I thought they had a disconnect or something like that, but what was that?

Their chopper exploded on the ground and right after that my chopper started the engine.

5-7 seconds at most later, the chopper lifts off and flew away. And i think you guys know how long it takes after starting the engine until you're actually able to lift off.

Besides of that, how was he able to survive a heli crash?

Can you somehow jump off the chopper with a parachute?

How can he lift off so unbelievable fast? Is it a known glitch?

Btw i tried to flee with the truck but somehow i got shot from the woods, but as soon as i was too far away for them to hit me, i had a disconnect and after logging in they were waiting for me and killed me(how did they know? A coincidence?).

The server name is DE 960.

Maybe someone can explain it to me or help me out in some way.

more than 1 chopper = spawned in choppers by a player. Expect the chopper to vanish upon server restart.

You can survive a heli crash, but you will have at most like 800 blood left, and you can parachute out of a moving heli.

Still doesn't explain how he could lift off so damn fast, it took like 5 seconds...
