Ok, so I've played through the game a couple times...a lot as well each time lol. Out of all the things I've seen throughout the forums and the mods,there is one thing in the game that I don't think has lived to its potential. Enter, the Vertibird. Probably the coolest aspect that's totally not tapping it's potential and it's already there. I would love to see the mechanic expanded to where they are usable in more than just travel. There are already 2 quests in which this is present, there needs to be a player controlled version where you can do 2 things: 1 being instead of just landing at the chosen destination, one can choose to circle first until told to land. I would to see the ability to drop from the bird while still airborn as well, which again is already there in particular We can already command the bird to land wherever while in transit, those controls just need expanding. Number 2, we need the ability to mark a target while flying. I, like many others I'm sure, have taken fire in transit, only to have the pilot just ignore and keep flying. I would like the ability to bring the pain to some punk raider and his pals, and then fly on to where more interesting places lie.


I've seen so many gripe about the mechanics and so many other things, and it's to be expected. But that's their opinion. I think it's a wonderful game with so much to offer, but I whole heartedly believe this is a totally lacking feature for the player. It's already present for the default npcs flying around, now we just need them unlocked for the Player to utilize.

vertibirds are garbage in fallput 4

almost as garbage as the minigun

I remember watching the trailers showing vertibirds, thinking we would get to fly them and operate a variety of other vehicles. No, sorry, got scammed. =P

If you play on PC....... You can bet your bottom dollar that some modder(s) is(are) going to make a pilotable vertibird.... probably expand the options for when you are just riding around as well. There are already mods that make them tougher/meaner/badder/more.

I still like playing with the mini gun while they fly you around and you shoot up the place.

Ah, so, maybe an option to have them fly lower, so you can wreak MORE havoc.

I already have deadly Vertibird with Explosive miniguns mounted.


All I need now is to be able to jump from them during flight in my power armor.

Yeah, like I said, the base is there since it's present in the base game on two quests already, it just needs some expanding
