Public Server Mod Request/Fix

[Maj (Ret) Bates]

Mod Name: Replace RHS CH-53E with the RHS CH-53E Ramp GAU for the Mobile Respawn 

 

Mod URL:

RHS USAF

 

 

Reason: The CH-53E GAU Variant is what ACE commonly uses, and it would be nice to have that variant on the public server as it's already in the RHS Mod suite. Furthermore it gives the 53E some form of defensive capability on supply missions. It's a simple changing of the aircraft type in the editor on all maps. 

 

=========================================================================================

 

Mission Bug: All Liberations, ever since an update (unsure if RHS related or mission), the CH-53E's on all maps can be seen with the cargo above the blades, it's massively immersion breaking. 

 

How to recreate the bug: Simply use the Liberation load cargo option and then look above the rotors 

 

Likely Fix: Double check where the positioning of the crates in the script, it seems that perhaps the RHS devs played around with the 53 and changed where it detects the birds position from and therefore has offset the crates. 

 

 

 

Reason: Immersion breaking, and should be a simple fix.

Currently looking into this to make sure it doesn't affect any of the liberation scripts or custom changes we made.

 

The bug has been fixed as well.

After some testing and measuring the CH-53E Gau will be added but as an extra helicopter spawn without the ability to store cargo due to its rear gun blocking access to the ramp. It will be available on spawn from the carrier and land where able along with being added to the vehicle list at a reduced price compared to the base CH-53E due to its inability to store cargo.
