I might add, some helo pilots just do not want you shooting from the helo.
But you just have to find an ex-combat helo pilot, they fucking love that shit lol

i wonder how much damage a BB could do to an aircraft.... probably not much, but what about the more sensitive parts of the aircraft? (rounds bouncing into the cabin, getting into air intakes, static ports, paint) I dont think shooting at a helo is a good idea, however you could always have teams equiped with a "stinger missle" to take out the helicopter.

I guess the plan involves not shooting at the aircraft, as in not allowed.
Anyways, seems complicated to pull off for the payout it yields in term of immersion. Not sure it is something I would fully appreciate personally.

I know shooting at or from an aircraft with any thing is illegal, I bet dropping buckets of bbs from one is also probably less then legal. Of course I'm taking about in Canada, as I know this is all legally possible in the states.

F$ck me! That's the raddest thing I've seen! HAhahaha....imagine how friggin fun that'd be.

Surprise Bitches! MWahahaha

Not sure if it was mentioned, but has anyone thought of using an airsoft gun mounted on an RC plane? I remember seeing thse guys "dogfighting" RC planes with "airsoft" on yt

Here it is:
Flite Test - Airsoft Gunship - The Kraken - YouTube

Yea its not the greatest implementation, but i think it might have some potential

If you're shooting me FROM it, expect it to be shot at.

Precisely. Don't expect to have a tactical advantage because people will shoot at it regardless if they are told not to.

Actually, i think i'd agree with that. Its "realistic" that if an aerial vehicle (drone or w/e) is spotted by opfor, that it would take small arms fire. Plus, the ability to shoot it down prevents the operator from abusing such the asset in unrealistic ways and force him/her to use it strategically.
And if it does get shot down, unlike a real heli thats worth hundreds of thousands along with the legal strings, an RC plane is relatively cheap. I could see a build thats cheap externally, but robust where it needs to be so that when shot down, the important parts can be salvaged. Hell, it could also turn into an objective.....recover the shot down drone :P

Idk, just an idea.

Sounds like that could be fun, even better if it was a scaled down replica of a predator drone.

There are several RC Predators on the market right now. So using one in a match should be do able. Also to confirm dropping BB's from aircraft it would be illegal to do so. Not so sure about RC/Drones. But no dropping ANYTHING from a heilcopter or fixed wing aircraft.
