Shot out of cockpit?


Will we be able to shoot players out of cockpits?

(sorry if there is already a thread, I did a search but nothing relevant came up)

Not that we've seen. I say if you are skilled enough to do it, you deserve it. Would also inspire a cool cert: "Bulletproof Cockpit: Can't be shot out of your cockpit."

I read in one of the recent previews from some internet zine (can't remember which one), that ejection (parachute maybe) would be an upgradable option for at least some of the air crafts... so that's a "yes". The player had already jumped out when he asked the question, and luckily landed on a slope that saved his life. That seems a little too cartoonish however, but apparently was what happened!

It doesn't come up much, but I really do want Planetside to cover all the bases BF3 does

Re: Shot out of cockpit?


I'd rather the cockpit actually protect you, this isn't Battlefield.
It's not really sniper shots i'm worried about, but those errant .50+ cal rounds from enemy vanguards.

Add: In the original PS1 you could not, this will likely be the case in PS2. Further, it really doesn't add much to strategy or tactics. Your target as a sniper will be enemy infantry (squishies) not aircraft, working on splattering brains on the ground first, and if you ever manage to run out, let me know, I want you in my outfit.

I was thinking more about that rare occasion where you land on top of the enemy gal (like what happened in E3) and shoot the pilot from 2 feet away

You don't think they have bulletproof glass in their cockpits?

I hate being shot out of the cockpits in BF3. It makes sense realistically (kind of) but I just think since this is a game not real life it works better to just allow the vehicles health and armor values to work out and not allow a vehicle headshot of sorts.

Not even realistically. Hitting glass would totally change the trajectory of a bullet, assuming the glass isn't reinforced (which is almost certainly would be) and the bullet makes it through at all.

I don't like the idea of it. It sounds too ridiculous and halo-esque for my tastes. Not what planetside is about, imo.

I remember it was also in BF2. Only managed to do it once at really long distance. Sharqi, shooting from the construction area to a chopper capping TV station.

We do not know how much power are behind those bullets so it might be able to penetrate the window. It does not have to be an outright kill. If it not added, nothing lost.
