Downed pilot
-
is there any way to simulate a downed pilot so the csar heli can pick him up?
-
What should be your first reflex when a mate of you go down?
-
so if i markpoint and call ‘send rescue chopper’, will it work?

@Red:

Thoughts and prayers, and a post on Facebook - preferably with a picture of you and the downed pilot, to show how close you are - for likes.
In all seriousness, though: If you’re asking if you can actually go and pick up a pilot, then no. That is not simulated in BMS. I’m not entirely certain if requesting a rescue helicopter actually triggers the ATO to make a CSAR COMAO, but with some experience in mission editing / fragging, you can quite easily create a CSAR mission yourself to simulate it. You’ll need helicopters and air cover primarily, and depending on the situation: SEAD, DEAD and/or CAS.

In RL are strict CSAR requirements when can be initiated and how. You can report the “downed” situation but first is a radio contact has to be made as a suitable location AND time is required.
This is one of the pointless area of the BMS universe. Long time ago was modelled and existed but as I know it is disabled. In original F4.0 were low flying helos. -

IIRC, it is … depending on tactical situation and distance in hostile territory.

yeah, ive created the mission already.with SANDYs, SEAD and strike.thats why im asking.was just curious what will the chopper do once over the rescue stpt. will it hover or will it just fly to the next stpt.

Depending on who it is, it might be “guns guns guns”

Watch your six. I other words, screen the threats, ID his offender.

Setting a rescap and radio location of downed pilot. Does AI do anything after that?

Then you report that you’re ready for rescap for that downed pilot cause he is shoot down near your loc. -

As I know most of rescued pilots were not saved close to the crash site. Why? Because it is obvious where the pilot was hit the groznd. It is better to find another location then try to make contact and find a safe area for CSAR EVAC.
In case the crew ejected close to an enemy battalion or AAA/SAM site you cannot do anything… -

that would not be the first thing to do

You’re disqualified
-
so if i markpoint
BINGO
Mark the position before doing anything else
and that is quite possible in BMSafter that pretend you’re short of fuel and bug out and leave the CSAR to the sandies, they know their thing - after all debrief often says “RS” for Rescued rather than MIA, so the code takes care of it no. You’re just not there to see it

Molni that was from book:

At least it will be valid for yourself as well

I couldnt resist…sorry
