Stupid jumpjet helicopter......
I know there are threads already solving the problem of jumpjets approaching target. But I found the logic quite broken when using initial payload.
Transport unit will approach its target to the distance equal of the passenger's weapon range. If multiple passengers are in the transport, the distance will be the shortest passenger range.
How stupid.....even the transport come from out of range to in the range of the passenger, you still have to click target again so the passenger can begin firing, if you target a building or something can't be auto picked as target. _________________ Tired of grabbing my random SHP conversions?

You guys sure? I'm quite certain orig BF has the issue due to CrusherAll while other OpenTopped units use their own weapons' range.

Well, I meant that my OpenTopped units which had no CrusherAll always used their appropriate weapon's range (Primary or Secondary) and the passenger's ranges were ignored. _________________ "If you didn't get angry and mad and frustrated, that means you don't care about the end result, and are doing something wrong." - Greg Kroah-Hartman

In my experience, GD seems to be right.
It's been a while, but one of my older mods had a heli transport with open-top capabilities. I'm fairly certain it stayed at its own range when attacking, even when it had much shorter ranged SEALs/Tesla Troopers inside it. _________________ YR modder/artist, DOOM mapper, aka evanb90

I have an opentopped jumpjet (that lands) in RedRes and it stays at its own weapon range, ignoring passenger ranges completely. Well, it did do. Haven't played in a new Ares. QUICK_EDIT

perhaps a video can show.

shows how editing initial payload can affect helicopter behavior.
If manually put in passengers dont affect anything, then it's initial payload special.
