Steps To Reproduce

Tested only on US side. Build helipad in conflict mode and when trying to spawn helicopter it doesn't let me to put it on a pad and I have to spawn it outside of the pad. It happens, when helipad is on even terrain ( happened to me in military hospidal and on a airfield)

I don't think that the problem is size. It's elevation. It seems that the helipads have been raised a little (to make the whole platform visible even when terrain is not totally level), but the spawn altitude of the choppers wasn't raised enough to cope with the change, so the game prevents spawning because there is not enough clearance. And since you can spawn transport and door gun variants of the huey on some occasions, but not the rocket equipped ones into the same position, it would indicate that the problem is in the relative altitudes between ground, helipad height and spawn height (do the rocket variants use the same spawn altitude?).

It seems that it doesn't matter what team or how even surface is.

Yes, I've seen that for some time. It's a real problem. I didn't want to open a topic about it.

Not fixed in 1.3.0.52. The Mi-8 with the 2 PK's cannot be placed on the pad. Have no tested the other helicopters yet.
