Helicopter Ammo

[insanelyorange@gmail.com 5]

There needs to be a way to rearm the ammo in helicopters, it's extremely unrealistic and just stupid.

If you run out of ammo when you're killing zombies or engaging someone, it would be nice to just fly

somewhere hop out with m240 ammo in your inventory and load some more and fly off. Not have to

wait for a server to restart. Some servers don't restart for days, and if you cant fight back you're dead.

Is there any news at all if rocket is even looking into this? I just got back from a helicopter fight on a

private server, I'm out of ammo and bummed as hell.

Should anyone still really have to point out "mod in alpha" at this point?

. . .it's extremely unrealistic. . .

Do I need to comment on how "realistic" getting your hands on a militray grade helicopter is in the first place?

not to mention the fact that everyone is able to fly said helicopter

Granted every game has to be realistic up to a point, but this still needs to be fixed.

yeah they really should fix it. 1. it makes the helicopter (at least a bit) more balanced according to pvp. and second point is the mentioned realism: atm you "struggle to find" ammo for a shotgun but you just manage to get endless ammunition for a gatling gun which fires hundreds of bullets in seconds

I never struggled to find shotgun shells in dayz, Gatling guns on the other hand are yet to make an appearance in this game.

hundreds of bullets in seconds is a broad term in a strictly mathematical term a single bullet fired every hour (or a year or a millennia for that matter) can still fall under that term.

May be a silly question, as im usually the pilot and we lost our heli a while back. But have you tried simply putting m240 ammo in the gear on the heli ?

I know it works for the hmmmv's in vanilla arma2.

thats doesn't work; my friends and i tried that earlier today hoping it would.

According to ArmA wiki m240 vehicle mounted accepts the 100rnd boxes of m240. I will test in editor later.

Just because arma supports it doesn't mean it works the same in dayz. I have already tried several different ways of rearming it, zip results.

Tested in editor and the only way to reload was use an ammunition truck or equivalent. I hope the devs do this.
