After taking a hit with a mortar round while flying, the machine gun on the huey no longer plays audio of firing. The bullets still make noises on impact but the machinegun itself is completely silent. In addition when the huey crashes it lands directly on its nose and stays glitched in that position.
Recruit an ai and place it in the mortar
Place an ai in the gunnerseat, get in a helicopter and auto hover directly above the mortar at a low altitude
Command the ai to fire the mortar on a position very close to the mortar to try and get the elevation of the mortar as close as it can be to vertical
Once the helicopter is hit and has crashed take control of the ai in the gunnerseat and start firing
Ive not tested this on any other type of helicopter or at varying altitudes, my one test was on a rocket huey autohovering at an altitude probably under 100m, also have no idea if the round hit the bottom of the helicopter or the blades
Hello Technicolourmatador.
Can you please provide more details on this issue? We have been testing this on our end but we were unable to reproduce it since pilots/gunners do not survive the hit via mortar shell and subsequent fall from height of a helicopter (as helicopter doesn't survive in 95% of the cases as well). Which type of shells you were using and was this in SP or MP?
Game master, cant remember if the character survived or not but the helicopter landed completely vertical as seen in the picture, I was using US HE mortar rounds, no idea how many rings of propellant. I placed the door gunner in after and then chose to control them, the door gunner wasnt originally in the helicopter when it was hit and subsequently crashed. I doubt the position of the map has any impact on this but it occurred in the north western portion of simons wood. If you need any other info let me know and ill try and share if I remember any more details.
Thank you, we tested this issue further but we still were unable to produce it on our end.

All good, it was an extreme edge case and pretty unlikely to ever effect almost any players anyway. Cheers for looking into it though.
