Shooting from helicopters is FRP

Still FRP in Firestone. That is also very very uncommon.

So what are tactical teams supposed to do incase of a suspect being high on the rooftop or on one of the Skybridge towers for example? The first screenshot demonstrates such situation and I encountered it myself quite often.

I think what made people angry is when you said “LOL maybe in cartoons”. Could’ve said that it’s not common for small towns to have a helicopter pad on the roof earlier ._.

Repel down and eliminate the target?

Rappeling is not possible in close vicinity of the suspects because you’ll just die on your way down. As well it’s literally impossible to rappel on top of the skybridge towers.

That’s a training issue then.

tactical teams utilize helicopters pretty often. it’s actually pretty rare in game that you’d be in the circumstance to shoot from a helicopter, but when it’s possible and reasonable it shouldn’t be disallowed.image

Once again in FS it is deemed FRP, I never mentioned anything about it never happening irl.

but why is it frp if it’s realistic

Because it’s not something I want happening in V2. You can’t determine anything from a game heli like you can and irl heli.

There’s literally no way to rappel down and not die regardless of how much training you are doing. Especially if we’re talking about Skybridge. In real life you would have helicopters serving that exact purpose of allowing units to shoot from the air.

If we simulate a situation with a hostage situation on a skybridge tower, there’s no safe way to solve it without shooting from the helicopter. If you climb up the hostages will die, if you climb on the other tower the hostages will still die, if you try to rappel on top somehow they will, once again, die. These situations are rare, but they happen, and in that case there’s no way to reliable solve them.

This certainly isn’t a training issue, the tower itself is that small to be rapeled on, a pilot has to practice daily for this to be achieved, and I don’t think that’ll happen. Now secondly, the rapels are too slow and are inpractical, I’m better off with doing a quick touchdown and lifting off then telling the pilot to hang in the air for a good time. I’d avoid rappeling, and rather shoot out of the helicopter or deploy via ground then air, you’re a target in the middle of the air pretty much saying ‘‘Shoot me up here’’.

Then I’ll close off the skybridge and call it a day.

And leave the hostages on the tower with the hostage taker?

if anything it’s probably harder irl, you’re constantly moving and shaky and can’t zoom out like in game

Tower 1 and 2 will be sealed off and impossible to get to the top of, problem solved. FRP to be on towers now, congrats.

Well that’s a one way to solve the problem I guess.

You got more intelligence and logic irl, vs in V2 you got noobs interfering and making the target impossible to see, and resulting in innocent people being unintentionally hit.

Problem solved… Because this isn’t going to trigger some people
