v1.0 German Tiger prone to flip on landing - Page 2

I just want to say that there's not a SINGLE aircraft in the WORLD where the Operating Handbook suggests that a nose first landing is safe, practical and preferred. I understand that this a game so that changing it requires a lot of time so its not going to change.

One shouldn't have to intimately know every vehicles buggy issues that cause spontaneous unrecoverable flips on an otherwise completely safe landing, and have to learn for themselves how to overcome this strange and unintuitive issue.

land on front wheels and you will succeed every time, I had the same problem. it flipped on the pad when I was landing. then I learned that you have to land on the front wheels.

No, it is a bug. Helicopters don't work that way. I know -how- to land it, but it still doesn't make sense that it would operate that way.

Lol, the amount of BS being flung around saying that its people's fault for having an issue with a buggy landing helicopter. Choppers should have their own flight characteristics, some even more than others but none should have this severe of a difference, along with the fact that recovering it is impossible, unlike other choppers when they start to roll. First time I touched a tiger I flipped it near instantly, after some practice I have decided just to bail out 2m above the pad, or hover, just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be considered a finished product and if you can't put up with its weird glitchy mechanics GTFO.

The Tiger's on our list of helicopters to fix, specifically the landing issue. I'm not sure we're going to have this fixed in time for the next patch, but rest assured we've noticed. (We had a fix for 1.0, but the fix turned out to cause more problems than it solved...)

This stuff is getting boring...

It was not considered a bug back then as its a issue with the mesh (vanilla) mainly. Yes, its broken, we know and have known and have been trying to fix it. So thanks for the condescending pep talk.

the quote you used of me was giving advice on how to use it in its current state rather then denying anything...

Thanks for clarifying, you two!

You can go ahead and lock this if you think it will help before people start saying more crazy things. :P

Ah great

This "flipping over on touch down" issue still exists. Has it been forgotten about or has it been identified as unfixable?

Nope we still have the issue reported, just needs to be fixed.
