Decent chopper crashes.

Lets face facts here, when a chopper is hit by an RPG, unless it is a small chopper like a littlebird or something, it doesnt just explode or crash and explode. Dependent on where it is hit, it will spin around due to autorotation , or slow down and make a controlled crash.
One of the key features of the BlackHawk was crash survivability for the crew and occupents. So, why not make a script which makes the chopper spin out of control, and then crash. Dependent on the height and velocity of travel, the damage upon impact could change accordingly to the crew and the helo.
This would make such missions such as a BHD mission feasible, and make the game a hell of a lot more accurate in terms of choppers.

Search for Vektorboson's tailrotor failure script - I've never tried it but supposedly it works as advertised.

I think there are also other scripts that allow the pilots to get away from a crash - I advise you to search for them.

I'd like to see a chopper make a damn hole in the ground and have just the nose crumple up and the rest be jostled but okay sort of. I know it can't happen but I can dream.

Yes that tailrotor script makes it spin and do basically everything you want. Blowing up is kinda random in it.
Should a chopper get an RPG in the cockpit, I think your screwed, your dead...   What about AA missiles anyone know what happens there? Are they compareable to RPG damage?

Hey C42, if you're after realism, why don't you use the WGL Wargames pack? Its a total conversions for most of the units in OFP with more realistic values for damage for weapons, vehicle armour etc and includes contributions from lots of addon teams... It's got more realistic features than you can poke a stick at...

Fuel leaks, tailrotor failure, random mechanical failure to name a few and that's just for helos...

Explosions look awesome..! Dust, debris everywhere... Crew served weapons, mortars, MGs etc

Unfortunately, they haven't included the BAS Littlebirds in the pack, so it's just stock BIS helos, but that still obviously includes the UH60 and UH60MG... Besides, they didn't lose any AH6/MH6s in BHD  

Latest version is 4.10 with a 500k patch to 4.11... Gotta warn you it's a bit of a beast in size, 100MB or so... But well worth a look if you're after a bit more realism in OFP.

It's the only way I play OFP these days... Just do a Google search for it... You won't regret it...  

BTW I'm not affiliated to this addon in any way shape or form, I just think that good work should be praised... OUT
