Event Timeline
Yes it is light and it is r/c. The closest thing at the moment it represents is Parrot AR. Drone. You can run that on a tablet computer and that weighs less than 0.5 kg or 1 lb for non metric systems. Ok it's not the same thing, but check the dimensions, it can't be more than twice the size so maybe 4 times the weight. And hitting something weighing less than 4 kg at 40 kph should not drop any military chopper from the sky.
Considering it only takes one 5.6 mm bullet to drop the quadcopter (or whatever the caliber of the rifles is in the game)
Ok. It doesn't happen anymore in the release version. At least not so bad. I did do light damage to my instruments hitting a hovering quadcopter with a mh9 doing 25 kph and there is no reason for that to happen in real life. But for now I'm ok with this.
