RetroField Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 It would be nice to have a VTOL Transport, personally I love flying and the Xi'an is a perfect mix between jets and helicopter. Altought it is a gunship it has many other purposes like cargo for items/ drugs, transport for vehicles as well as infantry it is of course not the best transport for a hotdrop but it will definitely make game play more fun and interresting if it was attempted in this way. If it where to be added it would be nice to have a 1k inventory maybe so it could be used like a tempest just for the sky, as well as make transport for items a million times faster and better and like most aircrafts it is not invincible operatorjohnny^ likes this Link to comment
Nick Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 I dont think this would be possible due to the strength of the Xian/Blackfish being added.

If you can't figure out why it doesn't fit on our life server it means you have never actually used these vehicles and you just see them in the editor. Competent Xian pilot would replace every other heli hands down. Link to comment
RetroField Posted February 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Had the unarmed infantry & vehicle transport of Xi'an on a server I played on a few years back then it was mostly used for drugs but they had switched out the window for a weaker one where a 6.5 used half a mag ish to penetrate the window and it worked pretty nicely on the server as most of the time when you get caught in the xi'an you are outside the vehicle gathering or carry a 7.62 to rip it Edited February 1, 2023 by RetroField Link to comment

|Cam| Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Haha absolutely fucking not.... X'ian is an absolute tank it would break the game so bad dude😵 Link to comment
operatorjohnny^ Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 This is the 4th or 5th suggestion to add this. If the glass is too strong, you can weaken it. It should be added. Batcan and Walt like this Link to comment

Becouse it can fly? Orca is still superiour going into combat same with ifrit. Only difference is that you get a heli-jet that moves fast and has large storage Link to comment

Gen. Henry Arnold Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Why this over the blackfish? Link to comment

Neither should be added, but the blackfish has 1,200 HP compared to ~350 on the Y-32 If someone would like to fact check go ahead this is what a quick search on the wiki found Link to comment

Blackfish is an awesome thing to suggest, other servers use it and with the difficulty in flying it for most people its a very impractical thing to use for any sort of combat other than transport. Even then its still a difficult thing to deal with, would be a great money sink too. zdeat likes this Link to comment
Batcan Posted February 9, 2023 Report Share Posted February 9, 2023 Make it expensive enough to where people don't want to pull it out and you don't have any of the problems people are talking about. Could easily nerf storage on it and balance it however they want. Saying it is a bad idea and making a bunch of excuses is pathetic in my opinion. Link to comment
Witz Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Right now we do not plan on adding it. Link to comment
