Two seater Gunships/Utility Transports?

RabbleRabble · 2012-08-10, 03:19 AM

I'm new to the whole Planetside scene and was wondering if there are gonna be any two seat gunships? Sort of like a futuristic helicopter gunship with a pilot that fires rockets and a gunner that controls a gatling gun turret? I know there's things like the Mosquito, but if I'm not mistaken it's only a one seat aircraft and the Liberator which is a 3 seat bomber.

It'll probably overlap too much with the latter that it might not get added, but I'm just curious.

My second part to this thread is will there be Utility Transport aircraft? I know there is the Galaxy, but that thing is huge and slow and was wondering if there are plans to include something more flexible and smaller something that functions like a UH-60 Blackhawk (whereas the Galaxy functions like a CH-47) that can quickly drop off squads in tight spots or perform aerial support instead of dedicated ground attack like the Liberator.

Edit: I'm AWARE that there is a Liberator gunship which is a 3 seater and Mosquito that is a one seater. I'm specifically asking if there might be a tandem two seat gunship like how the Apache works.

Yes there are transport vehicles that can take a full squad.

PS:

This might be something you want to see...

I don't see them adding a fast air transport. One of the PS1 lessons learned that easy access to air transport quickly invalidated ground transport. Not saying there may not be other crewed aircraft over time but I think small-squad transports will be left in the capable hands of the Sunderer.

I know that. Hence, why I mentioned the Galaxy.

Watch the video then...

My post wasn't asking if there are transport vehicles (which you fail to even understand) cause they're obviously in the game. I'm asking if there are other classes of air vehicles they plan on adding, which I stated clearly.

Thanks for linking me a video that doesn't address anything and your lack of comprehension.

So far exLupo has actually replied to what I actually stated in my thread. Thank you.

You asked if there's going to be gunships. The video is all about gunships.

Did you ask if there was a gun ship that tock on more then 1 person to control? Yes you did! What does the vido show? A gun ship that takes 3 players to control. No did that awnser your question? Yes it did!

Maybe actually watch the vidoe next time or I start to question your lack of comprehension

Liberator isn't a two seat gunship, and the Mosquito is a one seat gunship (correct me if I'm wrong) Hm, don't see a two seat gunship.

I specifically asked about two seater gunships because I knew beforehand there was a 3 seater and 1 seater gunships. So, you didn't answer jack.

As of now exLupo STILL is the only one that replied to my original thread.

Now you're just spitting words. So stop being a a-hole and be glad I even bather to reply. Go dig up your own fucking info in the future. Just click the wiki link

PS: Nice back editing of your post BTW did not say what origination.

I nearly said "Derp, liberator" as well but then I actually finished reading your whole post. I still feel the Lib sorta fills that role, I do see what you're asking for. Something like how the Reaver used to play. A non-linear flight aircraft with both guns and rockets but you want one that they can be used at the same time and with the gun on a turret, not something bound to vehicle facing.

It -may- happen but with the interceptors and liberator already being in, it'd have role overlap issues.

edit: Damn, Sun, tone it down. You didn't read his post (he was speculating about future additions) and you got called on it. Have some grace and back out before you make yourself look like even more of an internet tough guy.

Thank god for you sir, you're the only one here that's successfully gave your insight on everything I've stated in the thread.

"A non-linear flight aircraft with both guns and rockets but you want one that they can be used at the same time and with the gun on a turret, not something bound to vehicle facing."

Basically, except the turret is controlled by a second player and can be rotated.

Yeah, because I had to avoid confusion for people like you by not QQ'ing about information I already knew about in the first place and repeatedly cramming it.

You never addressed my concerns. You lose, good night sir.

The thing is this game is all about balance, so if they added a quick air transport along with the Galaxy, a quick ground vehicle would need to be added also to partner the sunderer.

Duskguy · 2012-08-10, 07:50 AM

dont see a quick full squad aircraft being added, because as addressedm would invalidate the sunderer.

as for the 2 seat gunship, not sure it would be added as its very close to the liberator. in the suggestion forum there is a thread about a hammerhead aircraft. which was proposed as a support ship with a few transport positions and a customizable support crate.

i would howver like to see a helicopter type gunship that moves about thes same speed as the liberator, but has a lower altitude cap so that they dont turn into BF3 helicopters spinning at the top of the map trying to hit jets. would basically be a close air support unit compared to the liberator which can fire from far above. and being a helicopter type unit, would be able to quickly dart around, hover, side strafe like the VS scythe, etc.

quick ground transport = useless sunderer. quick air transport= all other transport useless
