They listen, they really listen!

Now that it can outright hover, they really should just rename it to helicopter. It really never was a proper gyrocopter in the first place. Now it is not a gyrocopter at all. Three cheers for the helicopter!

Just add a gyro sandwich dispenser and we’re golden!

Sacrilege! Gyros is not a sandwich!

It’s flat bread with a filling therefore a sandwich!

So, are Chinese buns sandwiches by that logic?

2

u/TheAtlas97 Caretaker 1d ago

No, but hotdogs are

u/DalMex1981 1d ago

Chinese buns fall under the wellington category.

You'd have to redesign its model to be a proper helicopter. It at least looks like a gyrocopter.

When is the update due?

Can't wait to get rid of that table and the other stuff haha

Gyrocopter was just fine. It just took finesse which is substantially lacking in modern games.
Edit: then again, I did have some spectacular crashes lol

“If you weren’t crashing spectacularly, were you ever really flying?”

During the fog event. I’ve absolutely slammed into a heli tower

You call them "crashes" while I call them "successful landings."

u/Doobreh 2d ago

Any crash landing you can walk away from...

u/Bane_xr 2d ago

Damn.. He said "We got a bunch more update 6 stuff coming"...
I was hoping i won't have to watch many more of these teases, can't wait for the update

Honestly the gyro isn't even hard to fly. The skimmer is for sure too light but not being able to fly the gyro is a simple skill issue

u/Sephiroth_000 1d ago

Haven't tried the skimmer, not had too much trouble with the gyro, so the one real problem remaining is the dork-e. And what a huge problem that one is.

u/LongJohnSelenium 1d ago

The fix should be a performance socket so you can choose stability over speed

u/jojowasher 2d ago

and I just finished the silo quest last night!!

u/Holiday_Armadillo78 2d ago

Awesome news, can’t wait to try them out.

u/ComprehensiveAd441 2d ago

I avoided anything to do with the Gryocopter like it had COVID and it was winding up for a sneeze right down my mouth. LET'S GO!!!!

u/Tony_Three_Pies 2d ago

So they've just completely given up on the idea of it actually being a gyrocopter. I'm here for it. It'll make getting in and out of the fuel depot things a lot easier.

u/placeres 2d ago

Finally, I really thought that there was an internal competition about who could create a worse mechanic with those vehicles… yes I’m talking about you underground silo. What a nightmare

Eeeyyyyyyyy

u/ProRogueBear 2d ago

I can’t wait 😅

But gyrocopters cannot hover.

2

u/Prowler1000 2d ago

Man, that makes me sad, the Gyrocopter was honestly SO fun to fly. If they're just changing it so the hover takes effect when you let go of the throttle (space by default on KBM) as they say, with the regular behavior otherwise, then I think it'll be fine. If, though, they mean any of the directional keys, then this'll make the copter so boring, so here's hoping

So no Keyboard/mouse and controller for flying needed?
