Yeah, I don't get the impression they trained for a fair fight too often, probably a flight of bombing ant lions every so often... From a game play perspective the pilots desire to be in your face as much as possible was pretty cinematic.

I like to imagine the Combine already found out the small scaled teleportation technology used for the Magnusson Devices before we as Gordon Freeman even lay eyes on it. I believe they stole this technology and integrated it on the dropping part, and maybe stalkers or a dedicated workforce that resupplies the chopper with the bombs with quick succession

I almost jumped out of my seat when you mentioned S.T.A.L.K.E.R being on your list of games to cover in the future. There is so much potential there like the different factions, the locations and all of the scientific stuff like the C-Consciousness and the X Labs. And after the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 there may be more interest in the original trilogy. You then could also mention real life events and facts like in this video, which was a pleasant surprise.

Well assuming a few things, if the humans did have a military and the combine had a military, the chopper was the apex of their seen capability so it is the logical escalation point. The whole scenario is in a way baffling as it really seems to be one chopper, it bugged out for field repairs after its first damage taken by pure coincidence it would sure appear freeman then hunted it down to its forward air field to destroy it suggesting a fairly capable threat... So yeah I tend to think of it less of a hit list as much as it proved to be a problem where breens forces failed to handle it.

I know that by gameplay purposes, the hunter chopper is kept as a tanky enemy NPC. But if we go on and think on how it would work when considering real life aspects. A well aimed RPG guided missile, it would most likely be aimed to hit the main rotor at the top of the helicopter, or hit the blades, or also hit the rotor blades behind, which would disable the hunter chopper’s maneuvering control. No matter how strong the helicopter’s armor is. The hunter chopper would be easy game for a well trained Resistance anti-air squad, which would be trained in real life missile weapons training, like training soldier on how to operate a Javelin missile, plus the added advanced technology of laser pointed guided missiles, a missile which is also really accurate and quick to maneuver, where the laser is pointed at.

The bombs must have been inflatable. It would make a lot of sense, actually. You could have two gas cartridges that contained non-explosive gases that, once combined, would create an explosive compound or mixture. An example would be hydrogen and oxygen in stoichiometric ratio. There are, however, much more potent mixes. An additional benefit would be that the bomb would float on the surface.

I remember first encountering the chopper and as playing along you do feel the annoyance as it comes back for you. I always assumed it was controlled by an AI even after taking out the pilot or not finding a body after defeating it. The bombs I assumed it was some combine tech or had a limited amount my thought up until the multiple bomb attack which made me think the bombs can be flat and pop up when they are going to be deployed as it would also explain the SMG grenade shooting from the launcher which is a small tube that can’t fit the thick grenade

I feel like the combine within the cities like to mainly stick to traditional human vehicles like helicopters and apcs what's the exception seeming to be striders. It seems like they save the techno organic vehicles for outside the city. Of course, up until an actual war breaks out on the streets, then they use whatever they have. Maybe it's to not freak the ordinary populace out or maybe the techno-organic vehicles are too imprecise because of their biological components to be used in the city 🤔

I theorize the Helicopter would be 100% useless on any world not identical to Earth, and therefore not used on any other worlds the combine invaded or attacked. It's designed to maneuver in Earth's atmosphere and gravity and likely has a combustion engine on it somewhere.. so without the right amount of oxygen it's not even starting up, and if the gravity is too low or too high, it's flopping all around or crashing to the ground spectacularly.

What I find most fascinating about the combine is it’s almost perfect ability to incorporate technologies from defeated species into the collective and improve upon the . This also suggests that the combine forces sent to earth were merely a token force that was very undersupplied. The very technology and infrastructure used to resist the combine are used to oppress and pacify conquered species and ensure no disruptions in their goals. Another horrifying thing about the combine is making conquered people become dependent on the combine. Food, safety from the zen wildlife and even transportation are controlled and can be taken away at a command. One thing I find unique about the combine is that it despises wastefulness no matter how small. Every single thing the combine repurposes into the collective which is why the combine did not exterminate humanity even though it never really was going to let humanity live. The combine didn’t want to waste resources (humans) and they chose to slowly kill humanity since if they pressed too hard humanity would resist to the last but if they did it slowly they could get the most out of humanity instead of wasting resources in a war of extinction against the last remnants of mankind

I mean, as long as they have no way back to send more of their folks down to use with the portal closed, and as long as they can't get that opening back up, we are pretty safe. Although we are more than likely to be visited by them again in the future, considering that even if we were to defeat them, they are still aware of Earth. I don't think defeating remaining Combine forces on Earth is going to be the end of it, maybe just the beginning.

To note: some Mi-24 variants also have a nose-mounted cannon capable of rotating around: The Mi-24V (which is usually the variant found in Eastern European countries where we know Half-life 2 took great inspiration from), has the 12.7mm Yakushev-Borzov (Yak-B) heavy machine gun, which definetely fits the bill (at least for fire-rate) compared to the 30mm M230 chaingun of the AH-64.

Can You make a video about the non-cannonical lore of the first expedition team in newly released Black mesa blue Shift ? Its a pretty attractive topic in my opinion.

About the bombs; is it too far fetched to say they could be transported through one set of portals and exit through another set that exits by the chopper (eg from earth-xen to xen-earth)?

Hey Skyrionn. Check out the RAH-66 Comanche. I think that was the primary design inspiration for the Hunter Chopper. The angular shape, downward drooping nose, and enclosed tail rotor of the Hunter Chopper all remind me very much of the Commanche. Also it would have been in the news when Half Life 2 was being developed since the Commanche program was cancelled in 2004.

I have a 3rd theory for how te chopper deploys a lot of bombs. We know the combine is extremely technologically advanced, so I would make sense if there is a storage area for bombs, and the chopper itself continuously manufactures bombs within the chopper itself, giving it unlimited bombs for it's usage in deployment.

I'll admit that whenever I hear the sound when the Chopper is about to shoot, I get so desperate and scared. That was during the first moments I played Half Life 2, I disliked the Airboat section mainly because of how much the Hunter-Chopper scared the heck out of me- and the bombs

I thought the air boat gun was a tau cannon rather than a combine pulse?

I've often wondered if the HC had an organic component to it. I can't imagine the "pilot" can actually get out anymore. Probably a Stalkeresque thing wired in permanently.
