So something that I was thinking about last night was an update to use the AI outcast Pilots in-game for in-fill and ex-fill

The first issue that comes to mind is how would you set a way point etc.

Well What if when you got in the “passenger” seats and pressed “B” instead of physically swapping seats it just gave you the option to take control of the AI pilot instead!

The next thing I though about was exiting the Chopper this could be done in 3 ways theoretically:

1. You land the helo as normal press “B” again to re-take control of your character and dismount as normal. After a few seconds the AI pilot takes of and returns to “Base”
2. You bring the helo to a hover roughly 50m above ground then press “A” to Fast Rope down and onto the target. Again as soon as your team is on the ground the helo returns to base.
3. Taking the helo above 800m then having your team jump out and parachute to your target. Again AI pilot returns to base

This could also be used in reverse, where you throw a Smoke (similar in design to the one the Azräel uses) which would then give a 30 second window for the Helo to land.

On a side note: if you were using the Gyps you could also have two Outcasts manning the Mini Guns and one manning the other weapon systems. Similar to when piloting normally you could press “left” to give the outcast the cleared hot order whilst your fast roping etc.
