Wing Suit

The wing suite is not realistic.
The keep flying/hovering just a few cm above the ground ?

Would be nice to have a minium hight before suite stops working.
I never ever seen a wingsuit dude , in real life, going up again when he is just a few cm or even some meters above ground !!!

  • @Rokebo73 In fact you can do that to in real life, just like an air plane can pull up from the ground if it has enough horizontal speed. You trade horizontal for vertical speed.

    Height from the ground doesn't matter.

    But it would be cool to have a limit in BF2042.

    Trouble is @A-RAF2019 ,

    That here in the BF2042 game, you do not trade in anything on either of those two parameters.

    On the contrary, you can run slow on the ground and still get airborne with your wingsuit, all while both flying higher up than you ever were before and also travel at a higher speed than you ever were before.

    Granted, if you just had a very healthy meal of baked beans, then you may also bring your own human jet-pack solution to propel you forward at increased kinetic energy level.  But I have not yet seen that as any gadget you can get awarded for the Sundance specialist???

    Portal should have an admin option where unless your in a tornado or at the least BASE jumping height,  that wing suits just flop straight to the ground and kill the player.

    and for reference, the wing span of a hang glider with I think 16knots wind speed over the surface of the wing is required for take off. Wings suits are a lot smaller and would require significantly higher wind speed, aka forward velocity, I.e a wind tunnel.

    the whole juMping of a 2 or even three story building and flying several hundred meters whilst moving up and down is totally stupid.
