Post your Littlebird VS Littlebird dogfighting tactics

[imported_Boots]

If I catch another attack chopper or little bird I usually try to quietly get behind them to get the jump on em... If I can take their health down 1/3 before they even are able to turn around/return fire, I usually win... unless I'm also recieving fire from the ground.

If you're going face to face with another littlebird the only thing I do is just fire, fire, fire... it's hard to out-evade another littlebird pilot before he takes you down to critical health when you're both facing/firing at each other. One thing I do if he has passengers is shoot for them first, free kills...

I can normally out-evade attack choppers long enough for me to kill them. The most dangerous attack choper is the MI-28 with a gunner... those damn ballistic missiles will eat you apart, but away from that the dumb misses and Apache/Chinese gun aren't that bad.

It's also very hard to hit a moving littlebird with a TV missle... so if I'm
up in the air with an enemy attack chopper and an enemy littlebird I'll usually take out the littlebird first... but this is a risky situation.

Also, I noticed that I get a lot better scores on Harvest and Midnight, Road Rage is just too damn long... after you get to a flag and you take damage or die, its a really long flight back to or away from the pad. It helps a lot to fly as an engineer so you can land/repair or to request supplies in some abandon field to serve as a home away from home (or pad away from pad if you will); I also mark these boxes with "repair here" so I can easily find them again.

Just fly with 2 friends and tell them to go engy, while you fly as medic.

Well going from my vast one hour in the littlebirds so far this is what I've done and to be honest if I see one of the attack choppers I'll take it on.

Getting behind them is the best tactic, also lead them with the guns, this way you can avoid their fire. Be at a higher altitude (especially with the attack chopper) this can cut out their weapons. If they're head on and you're both at a fairly decient height and your taking damage, dive (like a dart) below them and swing around 180 degrees, sometimes you'll get the upper hand. If they are higher than you then you can always go full throttle and raise the nose of the chopper, you'll start to go backwards but at least you can aim higher but you have to watch your environment and what altitude your at, its just a balancing act.

Best tactic I've found is to lead them by about 2-3 foot/meters from directly behind or their rear quarters. If your any good with the missles on the attack choppers in air-air stuff then its probably the same thing........
