[SEASPARROW] 2,000 bullets

Has anyone thought the possibility of the Seasparrow helicopter having only 2,000 bullets (or any other number) just to even things up with the cops against the robbers? My suggestion is so that the Seasparrow helicopter only has a certain number of bullets and, if not used wisely they can run out and eventually stop the pilot from shooting anymore. Plus I'd suggest a textdraw on the screen of the pilot so that it would indicate the number of bullets remaining in the chamber.

If you're not familiar with the Seasparrow Helicopter it looks like the image below and, despite being an inoffensive helicopter it can shoot a Semi-Auto gun that causes a good portion loss of a player's health.



Should the bullets be refilled?
Should the helicopter be destroyed and re-spawn to gain the bullets again?
And a dev question for Mike — can it be scripted successfully?

If this is possible, my opinion is that it must re-spawn another helicopter so that the bullets can be used again. I didn't put the Rustler here because it's a plane and it's way harder to maneuver (and stall) rather than the Seasparrow helicopter that keeps hovering controllably. These are the two air vehicles (that shoot) that players have access to.

Thoughts?

Yes. If Mike is able to do this I’m on board 1000000%. It will make it so the sea sparrow isn’t crazy overpowered anymore, and the cop using it will have to be more careful rather than just shooting everywhere.

Has anyone actually read this suggestion? lol

not sure mike can detect and track those shots but + 1, anyway it should get a lot of ammo, enough to turn around as well and a way to refill ammo in gas stations / airport refueling points.

Not possible with samp, well it is possible to count how much seconds was the person holding the "shoot" button which would then sum up the whole count and once that count is reached well... You cant disable the gun in samp.

I don't understand why people want to nerf/ remove seasparrow. Its movement is so slow, its blades are shorter than other helis, it can't target players nicely, there is only 1 seasparrow in a city at a time and it's too difficult to drive near buildings. Why to nerf it more?
There must be something that cops can use when they are outnumbered. And you can easily doge it at some place. I rarely get killed by seasparrow. You can just hide between two walls and wait till the pilot comes out. And then you know the drill  😎
So in my opinion it should be left as it is. Moreover if you guys still want to make a trouble for cops, just make it use more fuel

in my opinion it is good as it is, no nerf needed, just people riding it the whole day are questionable, if they know how to drive as well, you can't do shit and they always safe, and anyway there are many people heli-blading you even if you didn't shot the sea sparrow, it is unfair.

2000 bullets seems fair enough, +1

hmmm seems fair +1

Seasparrow is....

unbalanced, no skill, ez abuse, crazy, spam,...

I'd love to see that suggestion implemented.

This is not possible.
