raziel1981 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I was wondering, would it be possible to send two chinooks as part of the same flight squadron to the same mission allowing us the choice of doubling the amount of soldiers for a single mission? If not, how hard would it be to mod this into the game ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlom Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 You'd need to redo the UI. where would you fit the extra soldiers on the UI? what hotkeys would you use for them? You'd need to redo EVERY map to have a second chinook submap spot that shows a chinook if you send 2 of them, but is replaced by something else if you only send 1... I don't think the functionalities are in the game and any such mod will probably be very buggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Aside from the technical issues, it would probably get shot down in terms of balance. If you could do that with chinooks, you'd have to be able to do that with later dropships as well (otherwise people would ask what makes chinooks so special?), who (most likely) will be able to carry more troops and vehicles to the field. I mean, even with a modest 4-person upgrade to the next dropship, two tier 2 dropships could theoretically land 32 squaddies. ZERG RUSH FOR THE WIN!

Max_Caine Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Even better. The Avenger clocks in at a measly 26 troopers. That's only 4 more than two chinooks. Zerging alien scum reached its nadir with Apocalypse, where I could take multiple dropships with up to 36 troopers into the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
