USASOC HELICOPTERS CORE

The shared core for every USASOC helicopter mod. It makes REAPER AI pilots fly like a real aircrew and adds new Game Master orders for special operations aviation. It doesn’t add or change any helicopters by itself. Load the helicopter pack you want on top of it, such as MH60 AWENZJ, H47 or MH6J.
Game Master waypoints:
Fast Rope: hovers and puts the FRIES ropes out, ropes the AI passengers down, then pulls the ropes in
CAS: gun, rockets or both, with attack style, attack direction and rockets per pass
Armed Escort: a gunship escorts other birds and gives CAS when needed
Jump: AI static line or freefall jump from the helicopter
Sniper Orbit: slow, steady orbit with the shooter door facing the target
VI Sniper / VI High Overwatch: vehicle interdiction. The sniper bird gets ahead of the vehicle and blocks it low, while the overwatch bird follows high and takes over the block if the vehicle gets past
HVT Snatch: holds back, then lands next to the HVT’s vehicle once it has stopped and the area is quiet
Flight and crew:
Flight styles (Low / Medium / High / Mountain / Auto), approach direction and leave direction
Landing styles, and the landing heading is set by turning the waypoint
Door gunner control: Hold fire / Return fire / Open fire
Flies according to the helicopter’s weight: light birds fly low, fast and tight, heavies fly smoother
Blacks out all aircraft lights at night
Players can give the pilot RTB / Hold position / Overwatch orders from the cabin
Works with SOFLAM support through USASOC CAS CORE
Requires: REAPER AiHelicopters, F.R.I.E.S Reforged, SHS Drive By, GMS Parachute Chute Framework Compat, USASOC CAS CORE.
Don’t run this with the old “Realistic AI Helicopter Flying”. This mod replaces it.
