Admin Noble 1808 Posted March 4, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) What do you guys think about adding the pelican to the server. Seen here Utility Drone | Armed Assault Wiki | Fandom. I think these could open the door for some cool fights/recon on people. They go down in like 2 shots from a mk1 so I dont see it being too broken. NOTE it lacks a laser designator and does not possess a secondary camera with thermal/night vision capability One thing I haven't thought about was how we would get them. Either BW or reb I'm not too sure. LMK what you think boys :^) Edited March 4, 2021 by Noble Quote Link to comment
Bushz 83 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I mean personally people can use this to just watch redzones. I feel like this would be beyond broken ngl Quote Link to comment

johnny goose 3239 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 If they had a super small radius so people couldnt sit far out of red zones and watch and were ~100-200k each i could actually see these being used and not to broken, maybe disable them entirely in the cartel area so the rats dont complain.

Slav 323 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Except you can also use multiple drones as one person. You could throw down a drone for all red zones and basically block off runs on the server. Doesn’t even really matter if people shoot it down because then you still know someone is there. Planes and helicopters should remain to be the scouting tool because it requires you to fly there. Actually wait, this would be a great vigilante tool. I changed my opinion, add this shit. No runs for anyone. Quote Link to comment
Venomm 2244 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I think if it WERE to happen, it would need to have some serious balancing conditions. For example: - The UAV operator needs to keep the drone with x distance or else it will lose connection. - UAV operator can only have one drone in deployment at a time. - No Thermals/Other enhanced equipment. 2 Quote Link to comment

Millennium 5590 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Fuck No. Here is a drone over the middle of the fed at 415m. As you can see, it's very easy to spot, just be careful to avoid the specs of dust you may have on your monitor. Additionally, at only 415m, it's low enough that every point in the fed has a shot. Oh wait, nevermind, you can't shoot it from inside the fed. Also, you can clearly hear the drone as it is a large and loud vehicle, even at lower volumes you can hear it easily over gunshots. Jk, lied again. Here's the view from the drone turret. Creds to @Zahzi from months ago. (literally a copy and paste from what he posted) 4 Quote Link to comment

He's suggesting the 8 motor one which is alot bigger. I believe it could be fun but it would need hella balancing Edited March 4, 2021 by Bushz 1 Quote Link to comment

If civs get it cops will most likely get it as well. 3. If its limited to 50m what really is the point. It will be easy to spot sure, but then it is completely useless.(Unless you do what I said in 1) 1 minute ago, Bushz said: You are using a darter there tho which is the smallest.

Yes this one he is talking about is bigger, but if it is that high it will still be just as difficult to spot. Quote Link to comment

True true that's why I think they should put a height limit on it if they do this Quote Link to comment
Maddox 675 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 If something would need this much balance to go in the server then it doesn’t belong to begin with. 2 Quote Link to comment

That shit is cool as fuck I can see the issues and it would take work from staff and there is definitely better places to spend dev time. Still would be cool if it were perfected Quote Link to comment
