I agree current flight model IMO is very poor

Worse than Arma 2 I'd say

Well obviously because Arma 2's heli flight model was relatively good! I'd like them to bring something very similar to it into Arma 3. I wouldn't mind TOH's myself (the ground effect is a bit strong though imo), but I know there will be a lot of people who don't want it. I wouldn't want it anything like BF3 though - it's much too simplified and easy (especially fixed wing)

I don't think you fully understand what the issue is though, full simulation TOH in a large game environment is going to be asking for an RPG into the cockpit(or similar) because it's much slower gameplay and it's so easy to aim/shoot in the game. Doing a Hot LZ is going to be more dangerous. Shooting in this has already become a lot easier with the much nicer mouse movement and no negative acceleration. Gameplay is already noticeably faster, twitchier.

What is there to understand? A lot of us would prefer the realism and skill element to flying that the Toh flight model brings. Arma will accommodate us both by having settings for easy flight and sim flight.

Please, the methods of flight are virtually the same for helicopters in both games. Simplistic.

Maybe Arma 3, but Arma 2s flight model for helis is much more realistic and unforgivable than BF3s (landing, taking off, bleeding speed, general agility, etc). Did I once mention it was a simulation? No, I know it's simplistic. But again, not as simplistic as BF3

Have you tried ACE's AH-6J? I know it isn't stock but most use it.

In a2 you can stop on almost a dime, full speed to zero in a mere 2 seconds.
As for littlebirds themselves, agile as hell.

Yeah, I only use the ACE little birds nowadays. I'm not sure what your point is though, from what I can tell the only noticeable difference from the default MH/AH-6 is that they are faster?

Well they are two traits of little birds in real life? I can't see it taking long to stop from 120knots of w/e little birds cruise at. I'm talking about all helis though, not just little birds

Maybe I misunderstood but on talking A2/BF3 you said it's not like it. My point is you said you don't want it like BF3 when it's already just like it, arcadey simplified cyclic controls. They're virtually the same, except the a2 one is made of glass. (It seems :p). I'd hate to have to make some videos just to explain it.

I love sims of all kinds, I just feel like it's too much for A3, it's way, way too slow for combat when landing.

Well maybe you're gonna have to make some vids to explain it lol, as whilst it's obvious Arma 2 isn't uber realistic, it's still a lot more realistic than BF3 in terms of flight model - and that's why I'd rather have Arma 2 flight models as they are "a perfect blend of authenticity and accessibility"

Thats what its about. I presume they can mod in a mario cart mode for those who want to play that.
A hot LZ is supposed to be dangerous. A little bird should go down with a lucky burst of an AK47

Hey there folks. Our clan has a Wasteland server up and running with a modified mission file of the original Wasteland 1.06 which removes a lot of the items that for the time being do not work.

Also the server auto restarts upon crash ( which at the moment is quite common for ArmA 3 servers ) however it is a lot more stable with the modified file

Look forward to seeing all you guys on there. Feel free to visit out forum at bigclan.co.uk or join our teamspeak ts3.bigclan.co.uk
