Taru's

[hamsham12]

Serious question, is there any way to reduce Taru's armor value? I'd really enjoy having Tarus back in the game, brings an essence of urgency when fighting cartels, when a vehicle gets stuck in the water, etc etc. Would be super fun, wouldnt even mind paying 200k for a Taru.

True that, transporting all those stolen cop hunters/striders from A to B was so nice, not to mention HEMMT trans flying meth runs, or as you bring up: grabbing MRAPs dropped in the water to "secure" them

Can you elaborate as to why?

If you make it so the armor value is that of current orcas, or less, I see no reason as to why, seems a good addition.

200k for a glorified tow-truck, as well as only 2-3 seats, its not as if its really affecting you..

Honestly not sure why they aren't ingame already. In the editor the pilot is a oneshot kill through front and side windows (mk1).

As for Taru Transport/Bench I see no real need, or maybe give Civs Hurons?

who is going to donate for the mohawk when he can just buy the taru?

Mohawk cant even tow big vehicles though, like ifrits, zamacks, etc. Id honestly donate if it could.

[hamsham12]

If an admin could comment and elaborate on it, I'd really appreciate it, I'm not complaining or anything i'm just genuinely curious about what happened to our mysterious Taru's. I remember I'm pretty sure I had a Taru pre-hack.

I'd love to have them back as well. The issue with them is that BIS made them mostly imperially to lower caliber rounds (minus the side windows), so they were being used as armored spotting vehicles that couldn't be shot down. 

We did some testing recently, however, and may have a different solution.

i had a few myself too Hamsham, we were casually comped a puny benched littlebird for our 1,2 mil tarus

how about they reduce the armor on taru and orca, so cops could actually do something to someone that attacks them in an orca\

 

i'd +1 that all day

How does it do against 6.5 though?

If they buffed Ifrits so a puny mk200 didnt 10 shot the wheel, I'd be down nerfing the orca, barely use them anyways, only for transportation/fighting cops.

yaaaa. wasup with those mk200 completely shredding ifrit tires? I think it just has higher rate of fire, and better penetration... ( or atleast that's the only logic i can put behind it)

About the same as an orca. It's possible to kill the pilot with a 5.56, but it requires quite a lot of shots to break the window, or to be standing close enough to penetrate through.

Is there a place to disable the Taru with lower caliber rifles like the Orca?  I know the vents are small and hard to hit, but it can be done. I have yet to find that type of spot on the Taru which makes it more OP than the Orca in that regard.  Without that ability to disable it from distance and its ability to drop an ifrit on top of people I can see why it has not been re implemented at this point.

I think shooting the main rotor is your best bet.

Edit: Only 7.62 seems to be disabling the MR. Paratus could easily make a weak spot that redirects the damage to the main rotor, just like he has done for the orca with this script:

	if (typeOf _unit == "O_Heli_Light_02_unarmed_F" && _hitBox == "transmission") then

	{

		_unit setHit ["main_rotor_hit", (_unit getHit "main_rotor_hit") + 0.15 ];

	};

OR maybe just Maybe

If (typeOF _unit ==  "o_Bik_stoCK_02_heavily_Armed_GG" && _hitbox == "Deerstand")  then

{

                        _unit sethit  ["bik_stock_02_heavily_armed_GG",  (_unit gethit "Bik_stock_02_heavily_Armed_GG_head")  +0.25 ];

You're saying the hitbox is Deerstand, meaning if you hit the deerstand then bikstok will take damage... in the head????

Civ Hurons. There is already a skin that would support it.

Huron is very easy to take out. Couple 9mm shots to the fuel will cause it to start leaking. Couple 556+ shots into the general fuel/engine area will disable literally everything that keeps it in the sky. It will literally only be used for towing MRAPs in combat.

I'm jealous for the cops as I love using the Huron in a tactical standpoint

If you're serious, there is still a reason for Mohawks. If you want a Mohawk capacity with a Taru you need to sling a box truck, which is slower and a harder getaway. I'd still find a use for my mohawk if tarus were back

This the way to go if you're worried about flying tanks. Just look at rj/Ifoxs video where the Huron came down from 1 mag of trg 

[Sylus Degalle]

I remember buying the dlc only for my heli to be stripped away from me because some cocks can't shoot a pilot out.

[Bera]

I think it'd be good to bring it back, just lower the armor value and make it an illegal vehicle and it'd be balanced 

[(BKB) Sean]

I don't think we need something that will lift hemmt's. If they could reduce armor and disable hemmt lifting I think it would be nice to have. That is why I was a bigger fan of arma 2, a hell of a lot more variety. 

[hamsham12]

You could make it so if the Taru is caught/seen slinging the HEMTT both are seizable, I personally don't see an issue, like I said the price tag would be big, 200k for a Taru is a lot, and to get that seized would be depressing tbh.

This is probably a really stupid question but why can mohawks just carry bigger vehicles?

I believe @bamf said they were working on "other ways" to tow bigger vehicles. I think adjusting the mohawk to do so may be one of them.  But only he at this point could confirm/deny.
