It doesn't increase AK-47 damage. Don't twist someone's words.
The Heli Issue Redeux
- Thread starter TheDude
- Start date
I suggested that there be a 33% reduction in the helicopter's health. This would still require around 1.5 clips of ak47 to take a helicopter down.
It's more about people using other weapons that are less powerful, take more time to reload, and have worse range.
AK-47 users have a big advantage whether we change the settings or not. It is simply an overpowered weapon. But it's part of the game, just like any other thing people whine about.

I've always considered it quite shitty tbh...
To be honest, the guys who are good at calling in helis have it timed down and count the seconds.....
Not a skill I'd be proud of. But, yea, it's time to let the noobs have a chance to call in their helis, too.
When do we think this could go into effect?
Could someone supply the stats for helicopter health so we can decide how much to reduce it by?

Here is the server.cfg script with the Helo DVARS in the main folder of your server installation.
// Helicopter Settings
set scr_heli_armor "100"
set scr_heli_armor_bulletdamage "0.3"
set scr_heli_attract_range "4096"
set scr_heli_attract_strength "1000"
set scr_heli_hardpoint_interval "180"
set scr_heli_health_degrade "0"
set scr_heli_loopmax "1"
set scr_heli_maxhealth "1" //set this to 1=helo can be shot down with pistol. 1300= default
set scr_heli_missile_engage_dist "2000"
set scr_heli_missile_friendlycare "256"

set scr_heli_turretReloadTime "1.5"
set scr_heli_visual_range "3500"
The helicopters will still show up but they are now completely neutered - actually, they're not neutered, they're impotent (I wanted to be medically correct). If you set their health to 1, they can be shot out by firing spit balls at them.
By the way, if you don't want to muck about with the script, type in this console command if you have logged in as an Admin:

If you want to keep the Helo, but you want to nerf it a bit - try bumping "target_recognition" up a bit. The default 0.3 means that 30% of a player's body has to be seen by the helo before it can start to damage that player. Bumping it to .85 or higher, might mean a less effective chopper - but a much happier playing environment.

It's randomized, you just call it in when you hear it crash.
Target Swed and Golightly first.
Make it so numba one.

Fussing bout nothing - leave as is! Eyes open , go to cover - it aint rocket science ! Unlucky spawns - live with it! and you can bring em down nicely with an LMG
you are the resident chopper taker downer
no1 has chopper killing skills like yours
1 rpg. A couple of shots from whatever gun you have handy. Choppa down!
I wasn't twisting anyone's words. He is saying everything in terms of how many AK-47 mags it'd take to destroy the chopper which makes it seem like he wants a certain number of ak-47 rounds to kill a chopper instead of a health reduction
He is using Ak mags as a number we something we are all familiar with. If you don't have something that adds to the conversation don't add anything.
i say get the healt higher i hate people shooting down my heli
i hate people shooting down my heli
to be honest i don't see the real issue anyways it could go both ways and make it harder for ppl to get a heli in,and then when they work hard for one only to get shot down in a few seconds..not worth the effort if by chance it fools with the server being "ranked" ..I have no clue if it would or not but that was mentioned in the article i was reading about it
