Plane and Helicopter damage

[japse123]

How realistic to you guys think the damage to planes and helicopters will be in V?

 

I liked in IV how to lost your rotor when you crashed with it to a building.. man had a lot of fun times with friends because of that xD

 

BTW: i want realistic steak

[The_Majestic]

Hopefully not like in Trailer #2...Helicopter didn't even explode from the Jets missiles

[Celestail]

IV had rubbish rotor blade damage (shattered) i expect rotor's flying off and big explosions

Yes, IV sucked. I hope the plane damage will be like Viva Pinata and it flies out candy when you hit the plane and pedestrians have to catch it or they get swine fluu

[Deffpony]

I really dont want it to be too realistic, helicopters are extremely fragile. The rotors blades are made from a honeycomb design which breaks very easily on impact. Also damage to hydraulic lines will kill most if not all of your flight controls. A few bullets to the tail rotor would be able to take out most smaller helicopters.

 

Airplanes are a bit more integral but not but much... I think that things should be slightly more sensitive than it was in IV but not alot... its a game

 

@Celestial, thats exactly what happens in real life... they shatter and crumble, they dont fly off in huge pieces

Look closely, i've seen many heli crashes (first hand and on the box) they do shatter but most of the time the heli blades fly off

[GRINCH ASS BITCH]

Hopefully not like in Trailer #2...

Yeah, seeing the Hydra fly right through the choppers rotor blades unscathed was disappointing. In IV, helicopter's rotor blades were definitely overpowered, being able to fling cars/trucks/people pretty far. I didn't want/expect that in V, but it seems like they don't do any damage at all now.

 

Of course, a lot can happen between now and Spring, so it might not be finalized.

What the hell? This is not cool at all. There is no candy or hot chiks comming out of the helicopter... Thats most probaly a fake crash.

Go to 2:45 and watch those two crashes

 

 

 

Helicopter blades can fly off like you say but its very uncommon because in order to do so the impact needs to be very close the the rotor head without touching anything else. This way it detaches and then flies off.

 

But the moment the blades contact anything else they shatter instantly... I know this for a fact

[Celestail]

@deffpony your right but in V it should be random (sometimes they shatters and sometimes they fly off)

[jamieleng]

I'd like to see panels (exposing the engine) & doors falling off the helicopter. Everything else can stay the same. The same for planes, but have one or both wings & tail come off. Canopy on fighter jets flies off & it actually has an ejector seat.

[Deffpony]

Well if the rotor blades physics are dont correctly it will be random.

 

As long as the impact on the blades is in the right spot you have a chance of seeing them fly off. But its quite a strain on the processing power I would imagine

Why would you want doors to fall of? That could result in fresh air comming in or passangers falling out. I would rather want candy and soda to fall out of the wheels.

Now I know you've been trolling in the other threads. Why do you bother. What sort of pathetic pleasure do you get from doing it?

In the trailer the chopper that get hit by jet rockets still maintain it chassis and frame u know. the jet then hits it with wing and then explodes. after it explodes the chassis and frame still is intact. in real life it aint like dat man. when hit by rocket u go 2 little pieces. same thing shud go for car and all vehicle in game. rockstar listen to me i knoww gta

[faizanali]

IV was alright but any more realism is better.

[Ice Cream]

i hope better than in IV....

Zero update from IV. Helicopter chassis made of graphene. In fact, same since VC.

im sory but wat is the graphene ?

Graphene is a substance made of pure carbon, with atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern similar to graphite, but in a one-atom thick sheet. It is very light, with a 1 square meter sheet weighing only .77 milligrams

 

Thing in your pencil!

Well no... in real life most 'rockets' (read missiles) don't hit the aircraft they're aiming for. They're airburst so they only have to get near to the aircraft before exploding and sending out fragmentation, shattering and crippling hydraulics, fuel lines, engines or anything the frag hits.

 

 

This is an RAF Chinook which was hit by an airburst RPG. The fragmentation from the rocket caused one engine to fail and a large hole in one of the rotor blades. Very little anti-air missiles are designed to hit an aircraft, due to their speed and relatively weak armour

[tenpennyisplainevil]

I was hoping for the helicopter to crash after one rocket (it's tail should be blown off like it could in IV) and explode after another (TBOGT Buzzard rocket style). Was really dissappointing to not only see the helicopter's chassis be intact after two missiles but also see the jet fly into it. Sure it showed us that the good ol' crazy part of GTA is back, but flying a jet into a helicopter is a little bit too much of that crazy. The rockets seem too... useless now.

[Deffpony]

It really depends on the type of helicopter too. An H-60 can maintain flight with about 60% of its main rotor head missing.

 

Most chopper crashes are due to tail rotor loss or hydraulic loss

[cash68]

Yeah, at least the tail could be blown off in IV. I'm hoping the airframe can get 'tweaked' so that the helicopter is no longer stable,a nd veers to a random direction. MIght be kinda neat. Also, yeah, it should BLOW UP, not just turn into a black chassis. Many pieces, and maybe randomly sometimes light occupants on fire, so that sometimes if you jumped out you could parachute to survive, or land in the water, but somtimes you'd just be on fire screaming all the way to your splattery death.

 

Also, it'd be neat if when they were damaged the "lift" was reduced, so you could say "we're going down!" and have to be forced to land while still sorta in control. In IV you either had full control, or if your tail got blown off, you could still rocket upwards at a normal rate. That was lame.

The airframe wont tweak... its the most itegral part of the aircraft. The tails are hollow so they will go first. I think that helicopter boyancy in air and water should be fixed... its an easy one...

 

Helicopters are extremely top heavy and therefore they invert the moment the hit water and often times in air as well

i agree
