Thoughts?
Yeah but I don't think the Vertibird is meant to act as an attack helicopter, only a transport vehicle with guns for nominal defense. I would be nervous about hovering over any area with gunfire considering how weak the Vertibird is. One missile could blow it up.
V.A.T.S would be nice while flying and see what we actually shoot at, many times i had to load to a previous save because while shooting at raiders i hit some allies and turned them hostile unable to complete my quests.
I would actually prefer an instant transport, like carriages in Skyrim. Since the last patch the vertibirds like to fly low clipping through any and everything, in my game at least.
