Helicopters

by kumpu

Adds a fully animated attack helicopter to the game. Ideal for getting from A to B quickly, exploring the map, building islands and nuking biters from the sky. Now 84% less buggier!

i Good mod but maybe Sci-Fi helicopter?

6 years ago

The mod is great, sound, animation and it looks similar to other ingame graphics.
If you still interested in making mods, maybe you could do more sci-fi looking heli?
Because the player is from another planet...
Thanks.

If you can find a good 3D model, sure!

I actually like the model you used (is that a Mil Mi 28 Havoc)? Here's a model for a Mil Mi 24 Hind: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/8b8c77d539ac1199363c117df2241df5/Mil-Mi-24?hl=en

@Osprey: Yep, it's a Mi28. A Mi24 would be great and I also considered it, but the material/texture in the model you linked looks awful. Same for yours @Gusop. Also yours looks just too high tech imho. What I had in mind was a steampunky-crude looking model, like the car and tank in the game. But of course there is not much choice for free ones.

Your helicopter mod looks good,

But the helicopter model style isn't like the style factorio has (steampunk-esque or something).

For a model that has that style (in my taste) i've found this one: http://www.beastsofwar.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Flying-Machine-Art.jpg

Or this one: https://jwraith.deviantart.com/art/Warhawk-Steampunk-Light-Copter-Digital-Warlord-340170947

Thanks for the suggestions. However those models fit the style even less. I've worked together with a 3D artist to get something new, but he currently has other stuff to figure out. I hope he can continue soon.
