[MRP] LVS Helicopter additions

[Nelson 33]

Description: An LVS Addon that provides 10 helicopters with individual loadouts to provide variety for events (both RP & OOC), file size is 126.778 MB, and could work in conjunction with the parachute addon.

 

Reasoning: Ideally this would provide more RP situation material with Soviet & US Helicopters, rather than just the “russian school bus” helicopter from the current base LVS addon. If we want to do an aerial assault then we could, over welding turrets with a VJ base spawner to the current LVS, in hopes it works fine. (Usually the turrets bug out, or accidentally kill friendlies.)

Additionally, this can make a convoy/assault event more intense due to not only ground but a well armed air unit flying overhead to defend/attack the opposing side, following that it’s within RP to engage the units. Having flown each of the helicopters & using our current ones for RP events, it’ll greatly improve our current amount of assets within Task Force activities (USASOC) & AFGSOC, an example being to retrieve a black box from a Mi-24 Soviet helicopter that’s still armed.

Ideally due to the fire power each one packs, a GM+ / T.Admin+ should be observing during the event, or to give the green light. As cool as they are, there will need to be limitations, in order to avoid potential MRDM & Server Crashes.

See nothing wrong with it, just as long as it doesn't lag the server when spawned in.

 

Also, small files and it can work with other addons! Definitely could be something to look forward to with future events. +1!

Helicopters are wanted by majority of the community. They are fast, fun to mess around with, and enhances RP. But due to the current map rotation being smaller maps it would harm the server more than help it. Primarily due to it causing lag. I think it would be great to add to the server as a addon but not used like we are on maps like Delta, and Echo.

+1 But only if added to a later map. Foxtrot is way to small for helicopters. You can already cross the map in like a minute, but I do agree with the RP additions and event things that could come from it.

This will be pushed over to the development team to be worked on and tested.
