VTOL/Aerospace Air Drops

Hellhound, please do not embedd pictures of these dimensions into posts.
We've had that picture as door #120 in our advent calendar:

and we've already stated that this has been a joke and will not be in the release.

 lol if I was an elemental I wouldn't be too sure I would want to grab onto an Aerospace fighter in the first place so makes sense to me, VTOL grabage I did not expect, sounds ace!

Will the Aerospace and VTOL's be able to take hits? I know there quick targets and therefore avoid most of the fire, but how much does it actually take to take one down? Luck shot do the trick or gotta be a missle down the throat kinda deal? ALso would the elementals be in a bay or just attached?

It always depends on the vehicle. What you're not going to see is the accidental machine gun kill you could score against flying vehicles in MW4. Yet for obvious reasons a heavy bomber will be able to take more hits than a light fighter/interceptor and those bombers can take quite a bit of a punch.

Also would the elementals be in a bay or just attached?

At this time, elementals being able to travel on aerospace at all is very unlikely, except for the obvious heavy VTOLs Anhur and Karnov where they'll be in the respective cargo bays.

Cargo bay drops ehh?  This is relevant to my interests...

Like how massive a drop we talking about here? We dropping like 15-20 of these bad boys? That would be a nice little suprise for a mech.

Considering that Crysis only supports 32 simultaneous players the maximum you could theoretically achieve would be 15 (somebody has to drive).  That is, unless you wanted to invite some of the enemy over to your side for some friendly skydiving.

That's my favorite tactic for the board game. A Karnov VTOL could carry 12 Battle Armor, The Battle Armor jump out the back door and use their Jump jets to land right onto the enemy Mech. Death from Above has a whole new meaning.

If I could get enough Battle Armor to go along with it, that is all I would do in MWLL.

and you'd most likely get Pwned!

One AA vehicle + 15 BA packed into one dropship = TPK

Maybe. All depends on how much attention the target mech is paying to the skies, and how fast the VTOLs can move. Especially if you can turn off radar and your enemy has to rely on sight. I find in games that have any kind of targeting people get addicted to it and don't know how to deal with something that cant be auto-locked on.

Jumping out of choppers works wonders in games like Battlefield 2 or ArmA. Since while one good Anti-aircraft missle would take it down, most people are too busy playing Rambo to notice someone sneaking into their base for an airborne assault.

 lol.. My custom mech Skmehet basically is the ultimate design, takes anything and I mean any other mech one on one and usually comes out ontop in the yellow at least, but one of my buddies did this to my baby (there was another right beside it) and she was down, actually self destructed just to finish the little buggers off lol.
