reminds me of a KA-50 blackshark

People downvotes because it doesn't fly.

I'm not pissed off at anybody. Don't expect too much though ^^

@havOkk Rated this up, too.

@havOkk I subscribed to this. This
thing looks like fun. It'll obviously more
than make up for my disappointment
with your excavator. By the way I'm
being sincere, not sarcastic, so please
don't get pissed off at me again LOL XD

Engines balance out linear motion of the helicopter, gyroscopes balance out angular motion. So it´s something about the gyroscopes. For me everything seems to be ok though...

Why does it keep flipping when i add better engines to it? (modded) Thanks for responding!

wow it look amzing :O

GET TO ZE CHOPPA!

Kind off, just a gimmick.

Are the decoys supposed to the flares?

A trick I found for building sub-grids in survival is to mount a projector on the sub-grid you want to make. So put a projector on the rotor head mounted off to the side and project the part you want and align it in the spot you want it. Then you weld that from the rotor outwards, and remove the projector when your done. You will need a blueprint of each sub-grid however, but that can be done manually in creative first. Just spawn the full blueprint and detach the sub-grids and save the needed blueprints.

Unfortunaly you can´t use the secondary grids like landing gear and rotor in survival, you´d have to built them yourself. About those small inner blocks, you´d have to find a solution for that yourself, build the inner parts by hand for example.

I have a question, when i try to build the helicopter it tells me unable to spawn multiple grids, its missing rotors, and landing wheels etc. I also have a hard time getting all the smaller blocks in between to properly build

Thanks for clearing that up ! :)

@Caeser also FYI (For your information) if you build a projector in survival then you can build any blueprint from it as you can just weld the blueprint.

Couldn´t have explained it better, thx!

@hav0kk nice I am looking forward to it

@Caeser if you go into a creative game and press F10, obviously beforehand you must create the server and add the required mods you want (this is the same for any mod) so yeah sorry when the game is loaded press F10 and you will see a screen, this is a blueprint screen all you have to do from there is type in HVK or Havok and then find the helo and double click on it or click on a button that loads the blueprint.

Newb question;
Am new to mods, how to use this ? Lol

there are some gatling mods and I am looking into making more helicopters/VTOLs (with missiles, which I am familiar with, contrary to what people would think)

If only Havok industries created fast attack helicopters that could also fly as fast as planes like for example a VTOL aircraft, with these I could really destroy some enemies...

I have to say this looks pretty cool, and all vanilla. What we need now is people willing to make a mod on modern day weapons such as Hydra Missiles, TOW launchers and 20 or 30mm Gatling Cannons. Oh, and maybe some AIM9-L or equivalent armaments.

Yeah, I´m thinking about something like the Mi-24 as well, I definitely want to build another helicopter. Thx!

I like this helicopter, both nice to look at and effective (especially with the rocket salvo).
Could i suggest something based on the MI-24 hind or maybe the ZW-19 from CRYSIS series?
It would be nice to have an helicopter with a turret that can be used without gunner.
Altought the gattling from the base game isn't very good there is a lot of alternative like this:

Thanks for the nice blueprint anyway!

That´s already been explained :)

@Deathlok-L17
His design is definitely good, but we looking for functionality in buildings, if it's for his needs i think he can explain it to us. Sorry for the potentially bad mood. Good luck.

OK these "Function" debates are silly... It functions exactly how Havokk intended it to. He built it to his needs for his faction and lore. Performs and functions perfect cause he built it for him, and decided to share this beautiful design with us! I challenge any of you to build a better design and post it

I think, that might be what happened, didn´t realize I deleted the conveyor, thx!

Love the look of the helicopter and how it fly the only problem I found was some of the reactors where not connected to the conveyer system looks like you remove a conveyor and replace it with a remote control block a part from that it works well.

Keep up the good work from a mad Dwarf

@Mentor_N7
А тебе скажу лишь что ты видимо ничего не прочитал из того что написали под вертолетом, приняв за то что он в него "Говном кидается", он ведь как ты думаешь только это и умеет, а ссаться с того что ты выводишь из себя какого-то человека - по моему мнению выглядит странно.

Ahm, Mentor say Bad functionality, don't say reasons, but he attaboy! Android - damn hater, but he substantiate his opinion why helicopter have bad functionality. hav0kk, we don't haters and wish the best, try to telling you the flaws so you can fix them in the future.

I see ^^ thx! sums it up pretty good

If you can make ☭Android☭ angry, than you are succeed! Don't listen to him, he is well known russian hater.

Bad functionality, but wery good disign! Well done.

Come back anytime! xD

Thanks, Alpha

Hav0kk's work is far from unworthy. He's one of the most skilled builders on the workshop, as evidenced by the fact that he is on the front page. The majority of the community clearly appreciates this build, and you can't change that.

I built this in creative and uploaded it to the WS in case anyone wants to play around with it.
You don´t have to use this in survival.

As for the last two comments, you´re not to judge what I can do and what I can´t, especially not just based on this one creation I uploaded.
If you think it would be a disgrace if I built something like the Mi-24, that´s your business.

Critique is welcomed, just keep in mind, everyone has different opinions on what they think is a good creation for the Steam Workshop. And not everyone wants to build a functional box thats good at fighting in a specific scenario.

-The IR traps (?), I think you mean the decoys, it´s a gimmick, for when AI turrets start shooting
you. There´s definitely better ways to do them.
-The helicopter has horizontal stabilizers to make it easier to stay hovering in one position.
There´s a button in the toolbar to switch them off so it behaves more like a real helicopter.
-There are dampeners from the front, they are just very weak.
-I don´t have to remove or add anything.
-There are no scripts for VTOL flight as I didn´t think of it, however someone already mentioned
it in the comments and you´re right, thats a good addition to this.
-There are 3 scripts, which I liked and thereby included, because I decided they would make a
good addition.
-The rotors are in there to make the rotor ROTATE. It´s a helicopter after all.

First of all, I decide when and what comments I reply to.
I can shorten this whole reply by saying, this is my own creation, I can upload whatever I want as long as its within the Workshops rules, this is my own interpretation of a military helicopter because it´s purpose is to attack enemies, however (in)efficient it may be.
Nowhere do I state that this is a good vehicle for a hardcore survival fight, which seems to be what you tested it in, if you tested it.
It´s just a simple helicopter.

Now:
-There is no armor, indeed. There is no turret, because it´s not supposed to have one.
Read the description, it says: nose-mounted gatling gun, not turret, as it´s supposed to be a
one pilot vehicle.
For stationary weapon it´s too poor? What does that mean?
- There are no anti-tank missiles because the vanilla rocket-pods are OP against small
vehicles.

Your helicopter is too pretty to look at... here have my flying Lego brick with homing missile script. Who cares if it is purely decoration? The game lacks any kind of aerodynamics to begin with... let alone ignores newtons third axiom at times.

It says: I am open to suggestions. Where do I state that I will reply immediately when critique is brought up?

@hav0kk
You write "Please don´t just dislike this build without stating, what´s wrong with it in your opinion! I am open to suggestions." and don't answer Android commens, but you answer at comment "awesome build, and love the screens shots." isn't that hypocrisy?

You´re definitely right about the reactor, I built this before the update. This isn´t exactly meant for survival though, you could build something more practical for that. ^^ Also thanks Dempsey!

The jumpstart is a nuclear reactor? You should probably replace that with a small battery instead, considering not everyone is going to have uranium on hand ever since the new update.

awesome build, and love the screens shots.

OMG I love it

xD

Finally a workshop build that caters to my gender

Thanks a lot guys! I want to build some more helicopters myself, something like a Mi 24 would be cool. As for the mods, I know there are some mods for actual rotors, but I like to be able to build this in a vanilla world :) You can modify it with the rotors for yourself of course.
Finally, thanks for that script, I´ll definitely try that out!
