Simple, it’s unfair it never goes down, NPAS should be subject to being taken down like any other vehicle, make it so the NPAS Helicopter can be shot throught armour and possibly shot down when aiming at the rear rotor or main one, its currently an unfair advantage to MPS.
MAIN POINT
Allow for civilians to shoot at armed officers that are using the NPAS to get to places such as the DS/BP roof.
Also, shooting at the NPAS would just make you take longer to escape anyways. Armed police, mo8, mo19 would just catch up if you’re stopping to shoot at a NPAS helicopter.
I think we should make bp a lot more realistic so civs cant buy ak-12s and mp10s and ARV are limited more its just turning into a civ’ vs armed police combat game its lost all its old reality it had like give civs baseball bats. And also in real life police are meant to be better equipped then civilians so they are able to detain them, in real life police have taser’s, guns, etc but civs don’t unless otherwise legally stolen or with legal firearms licenses so I think that civs if they hit a armed police with a car then kill him they can take his/her gun, or they can obtain a firearms licence that the police issue.
The issue lies with that nobody would want to fly in HEMS/NPAS altogether. If you’re just going to be shot down, they’ll either fly high enough so the gremlins below can’t fire at them or they just won’t bother altogether, and then where does the balance lie? If I’m flying on HEMS the last concern I want to have is that I’m going to be shot out the air, and some poor Trainee Constable fresh starting the game gets obliterated by a falling helicopter. I think it’s just a completely unreasonable suggestion considering the deployment criteria for helicopters like NPAS/HEMS is already quite robust. The game isn’t all about MO19 and armed situations, yet everything seems to be treated as said.
I don’t agree nor disagree with this suggestion, however I feel like he has phrased it wrong and you are all missing his point.
I believe he’s been involved with DS/BP roof raids where M019/TST have used NPAS helicopters to fly to the roof to flank the armed shooters.
I feel like his suggestion is to allow civilians to shoot the helicopter for this situation to remove their bulletproof and shoot the armed officers inside. To prevent them from hovering in the air above the roof, for a long period of time without any counter.
Honestly, I feel like it needs some tweaking so M019/TST can take advantage of the helicopters more often but having some sort of counter for civilians would be nice when they are using it, all whilst ensuring there is no major performance impact and keeping this unique aspect of the game to its respective divisions (M08/CCT).
