So, how much health does a Vertibird have anyway?

Just curious about how much hp these things have, since everyone says they're made of tissue paper.

not much. I was on the roof of some building and saw one circling and decided to see how much punishment they could take. after only a couple shots to one of the engines with a combat riffle it started smoking. several more shots and it started to go down. didn't see it crash, but i knew it did when I got a little xp

For thr amount ive stood at the burning wreckage, theres no way the prydwen carried that many, you'd have thoughtthey would have learnt a lesson from the capital wasteland, since the enclave have the air power, now they do, and its like sitting in a box kite with a pistol, hueys had pylon mounted guns and they stood off and fired, using 2 forward mounted guns where you have to point the aircraft to fire them, maybe air to air but javing to tilt the aircraft down to aim is stupid plus where have the missiles gone, and why arent they always flying out with door gunners, ive seen more vertibirds with no miniguns than with, if they are so fragile you need to get a few level an area drop troops in and then stand off and provide fire support while your ground troops are clearing up, ill i ever see are suicide missions.

Wow, Vertibirds are actually NPC's in this game. Shouldn't be surprised, I guess. the Fallout 3 Chimera tanks were creatures.

Health varies. Looking at a couple in the BOS faction had 900 and 1500 HP, with DR and ER of 60 on one and 135 on the other.

those things are a joke. imo, they should have made them a little tougher, a whole lot smarter, and made a lot fewer of them. i have probably seen close to 200 of them shot down on my highest lvl character. not seeing any bos ppl walking around picking up cans to make new ones.

Not enough.


Joking aside, for such a big target, they have low health and garbage armor. 60 Ballistic DR? Did the BoS build them out of sheet metal?
