When Reforger feels like an opening scene in a war movie | Arma Reforger

In this video the harbor area is attacked by 4 Mi-8 helicopters. Which causes the soundtrack of the video to be an almost permanent background noise of gunfire and rocket fire. Which highlights the new procedural sounds for when rockets or rifle grenades fly past a player. The sound is dynamic based on speed and angle.
It feels like a war movie scene where everything is quiet and then the action starts. And it feels choerographed like a movie, however it is entirely dynamic and chaotic, (my favorite is the huey trying to land as it is flaming).

That was a super cool fight! Tracers look and sound so good in this game. I wish more mid to late game battles were like this.
I am excited for pt.2

Honestly so excited about the door gunner in this latest update, this really makes the helicopters capable of being CAS to some extent and opens the door for some new strategies

I agree with you, but when rocket pods come out it will be better to use them as a self defense weapon and less offensively

I’ve generally found it’s very hard to take down a Mi-8 with just small arms fire. I think they’re much better protected than a UH-1

[@caracal3892]

I think it depends on distance too and angle of impact, I noticed that straight shots tend to penetrate the Mi-8 even from normal 556 ammo. However when the bullet hits at 400 meters and perhaps a rounded shape then there is more chances of it bouncing.

Man, 4 choppers that's quite the flock. Some things to help avoid this situation in the future: 1, Build more bunkers and less walls. Bunkers give more protection, and they act as a spawn point. 2, build static mg nests in positions overlooking the water and hillside. The advantage being the gun is always there and won't be destroyed, you also get slightly more cover. 3, Take Humvees and jeeps off the point and attack from an offset. Make sure to use the AP+AP Tracer rounds to really make em' feel it. 4, the M60 is a good light anti armor. Use the pure m61 boxs and spam at the main engine and rotors. Choppers are weakest on the engine and rotors and if you get it on fire or snip the wings it's done.

Is this recorded on pbs servers?
