FPSTrollywood Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 So I have noticed that getting into helicopters frequently gets me killed. Just the act of getting in. Not starting it, not flying around crashing like a moron... just getting in. I have had this happening recently (within the last 2 weeks) on a lot of servers including Mell's, MGT, BMRF, etc... I also know a lot of other people have been getting the same issue. This happens only on Epoch, and with both DLC and Non-DLC helicopters. Either the helicopter blows up with me, or it doesn't get damaged at all and I just randomly die. One of the times it happened on MGT, it also kicked me from the server at the same time for "Create Vehicle Restriction." Naturally that also glitched me out of my group that I was the leader of and made my group's 4 plot poles and 2 lock boxes pretty much useless... What is causing this and what is being done to resolve this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yup.. The new Mosquito blew up when I got in it killing me and I've had it happen to a truck sitting in my base. Needless to say I'm on standby till this is addressed/fixed. It's random and it's a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YarwoodUK Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Not sure if this is 100% caused by Epoch, although it seems more common.. In my brief play-time on a couple of wasteland servers, I've come across two helicopters that exploded as soon as I got in. The area was completely clear/flat etc..

maddingamer Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I can confirm this. My heli exploded just by getting in. And one time just randomly in the air (area was clear, don't moved to fast) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPSTrollywood Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Also, does anyone else have an issue with the ATRQ on the Taru sling loader breaking every single time you use the sling to pick up any vehicle?? It even broke while I was lifting a fking go kart the other day. KPABATOK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Man Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I noticed it was damaged right before I blew up so maybe it's a damage issue where they don't completely blow up and sit there waiting for another victim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryansgotacbr Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 If you Google search this issue there's tons of bug reports for arma 3 for both random explosions and breaking atrq. Seems like an arma issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPSTrollywood Posted December 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Its just a shame... especially with the slingloader and shooting out of them... helicopters are my favorite part of the game by a long shot. But especially in games like Epoch they can be a real pain in the ass when things go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPSTrollywood Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Has anyone had this happen since the 2.5.2 update? Seems fixed to me... idk.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZENITHOVMAN Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello All, I have noticed since the 0.2.5.2 update that this issue has gotten worse. I have had reports from trusted players that DLC heli's and even some Hemmet's as well seem to have this problem. STENCH Ps Nice Video Trollywood :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Sweet Home Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Happened to me once. Now, before I get in my heli the first time of the day I drop all my gear and get in the heli, then fly from my landing pad to the ground next to it and land it, get my gear and only then do I start taking it for a flight. Maybe it has something to do with self built landing pads. A friend had a Hummingbird on his landing pad and was doing some building a few feet away and his heli glitched into the floor boards, then took more and more damage and blew up. My incident was also shortly after I had built a shelf in my base. I built the shelf, got in my heli and insta blew up. Maybe it is related.

Shadow Moses Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I am pretty sure this is actually an Arma 3 issue. I have experienced this several times before ever playing A3 Epoch. js2k6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aFuzzybuny Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 We have been having he same problem. There seems no rhyme or reason,just random boom and death. I thought at first it was from using the repair gun. We once used 2 energy packs on a Huron just to have it explode. But I have been assured it explodes the heli fresh spawn or repaired. js2k6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js2k6 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I also have experienced random exploding vehicles in arma 3, outside of epoch mod. It has been happening a lot more frequently of late however, Could be linked to the A3 update just prior to xmas, as I've had it happen outside of epoch, i'm also of the opinion that it's the game, and not the mod.

Brez Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I just had another one of those little new mozzies. I'm a sucker for punishment that's for sure. Now I see why nobody else uses them. it just did a 360 on me and slammed into the ground while auto-hover. They also go down really easy.. 2 shots from a handgun sends it into a violent spin. It's a flying coffin in it's current unpredictable state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in another thread.....well it is a bunch of metal stock welded together in some dude's back yard, can expect it to fly like the others. lol Home Sweet Home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickM67 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Anybody know if the Taru ATRQ issue has been resolved yet? At 1.4 Arma3 now, but I am hesitant to try sling loading on a Taru. Freaking Hurons are like hen's teeth, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT_Kevin Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 A trick I have learned over the past month is to shoot my vehicle tires before getting in them. This works for land vehicles and flying contraptions. You only need to do once per session. A restart will require you to repeat the action. Since I started doing this, I have not lost a vehicle or lost 100 kyrpto. Nic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cring0 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It's been happening a lot on king of the hill, and its been happening befor 1.4 i believe. I'm assuming it's a bug in arma 3 but maybe theres something else going on behind the scenes. I noticed it happens mostly right after the new game session begins or the server restarts as well.

KPABATOK Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was suspecting some Epoch scripts, but since this shit happens in other mods too, it is definitely arma 3 problem. BUGEMIA wake up. Fix your helis. Also noticed some servers have more exploding helis than others (not sure, but I think I noticed it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DayZ Vet Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 worse thing about the helis is if you die in the drivers seat you cant see your own body after you reswarm but your team mates can, so if your playing on your own your stuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cring0 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 maps and terrain can make a diffrence, never had one blowen up while in my bases, only on the ground of the mapMakes me wonder if its just the altitude adjustment on those vehicles when the server starts up. It wasn't that long ago that ground vehicles would spawn in sunk into the ground. I'm guessing its causing a collision.. though you would think that wouldn't happen until you started the vehicle up or tried moving it. Dunno.
