Door gunners & Hi!

[Licenser]

First of all I wanted to say hi,

I've been playing a bit on your server the last days and it was a blast - a wonderful place to be and be shot at from various angry AI's!

 

So I have a question which I could not find answered in the FAQ and didn't wanted to try out since it might make someone unhappy . I understand that the pilot and co-pilot seat in the helicopters are reserved for pilot players and the vehicle getting disabled if the boarding player is not of that class - which is a wonderful way to get around the problem of people stealing them or just going bananas in general, that said I did not find any hint regarding the door gunner seats. So I was wondering if there are code wise restrictions for those or is agreement with the Pilot enough?

First off welcome to Ahoy World! Glad you've been enjoying yourself

 

The vehicle getting disabled really is basically down to lag (most of the time) As far as I know simply sitting in the co-pilot seat will not break the heli's rotors, however it is just common courtesy to stay in the back seats, that way there is no risk of a problem occurring

 

In regards to the door guns, again as far as I'm aware there are no code restrictions or restrictions at all about sitting on the gun of a helicopter. Just make sure you don't sit firing it when not necessary, for one, it pisses off a lot of people, two, can sometimes cause accidental TK'ing and worst of all, when you get close to the AO, can attract enemy fire.

 

Happy Invading and Annexing!

Aloa Danny,

thanks for the quick reply! That's good to know, I wasn't about to be an idiot and run of firing like a crazy but I figured it would add to good team play if a chopper capable of having gunners had them - might make landing in dangerous terrain a bit more feasible and add to the immersion over all .

Exactly! Ahoy World is all about playing as a team and having a good time!
