The idea is good but it doesn't work at in practice, I went on patrol with SGT @anders today, a Taru was flying 300m+ above the Altis Metal Exports. I had to stop talking to the civilians and let Anders alone speak to everyone to sent an ATC. (Only two of us in a Kilo Romeo 1 patrol, no units were around due to a firefight in Athira, there were 4+ civilians with rifles out) I had to stop what I was doing, I was unable to move and speak as I was writing the ATC. Only to have the Taru land nearly ontop of us seconds after I sent it, take off with 2 of the civilians in the back before it replied "Leaving" if you expect the whitelisted factions to put in the effort to write an ATC and people won't even respond by just landing anyhow it has no use.The problems I see that people have with this rule is they literally cba to send a message in roleplay incase they get shot? I mean Police and UNMC have loads of people I'm sure one guy can take cover and send an announcement, whit-listed faction should go that extra mile to send a message and provide something other than just getting shot straight away out the air.
The warning shot system was fine, tracers to the front and back as a warning to 'fly off or you will be forcefully disabled' with enough time to comply and even another set of warning shots after that. I've been in the Police for over a year and I have never seen someone fire a set of warning shots and then instantly begin shooting at the helicopter with no time for the pilot to even move. Several warning shots are always issued before the engine / tailrotor will be disabled the Police and UNMC have always done so. ATC's are usually used when a NPAS helicopter is chasing after another heli where messages such as 'This is Mike Hotel to Blue and White Orca hovering above Lakka. Divert to NPAS and land at once! We will escort you there, failure to comply will result in your helicopter being disabled. How copy over?' were sent by people on the benches.
