Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

Last night I was alone in a tank, when I saw a transport helicopter coming right at me. I shoot a round at him, and then I start firing with MG. One guy jumped out, so I gunned him down. The chopper was flying over me, firing at me from one side.
So I shoot another round at it and boom, 3 more kills.
Then I resumed my journey towards a flag. It was so easy! :)
The transport chopper definitely needs more armor and better guns.

The minigun needs to be returned to its former lethality. As for the MEC and PLA choppers...two options


1: Increase the firing rates of their current guns to match the power of the miniguns on the blackhawk.

2: Simply give the MEC and PLA choppers miniguns.

That would be completely unlogical... the guns on the other chopper are like they are and they never get fitted with miniguns... just give them more aremor to compensate.

The poll is going up in favor of the beefing of the transport choppers but no response from dice ......

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

you are seriously trying to argue that 1 tank round shouldnt take down a chopper? its not an easy shot to make unless the pilot is retarded. if thats not what you meant i suggest you reread my post.

Yes, one tank round should NOT I repeat SHOULD NOT kill a transport helicopter in BF2. And it IS easy to get one hit on a helicopter that's flying by... but a clever pilot will get the **** outta there if he's hit.

i tend to agree, if an attack heli gets hit by an at round, it should go down.

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

Attack choppers are well unbalanced though!! :-) They just rack up easy noob points for the guy inside. Tone them down armour wise or beef up the Anti AA so they don't suck so much!! :P

shooting transports with tanks is pretty easy.

ya, if the heli pilot is retarded.

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

No that would definately be to easy... you get hit 1 time much too often to make it lethal...

I remember playing mashtuur a few patches ago... people wanted to get in the trans helis. And they were always full. Best teamwork I ever saw.

being the right kit, in the right seat is not teamwork.

BH should die in 1 hit to a tank or AT missile, and beef the guns up alot, then its balanced all around.

I have a sweet memory as AT, against BH.
I managed to send a rocket through the opening from behind and the explosion killed everyone onboard (not the chopper, thou). :)

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

while the bh has no place having splash damage, i wouldnt mind a damage increase. but the armor load of a helicopter should be such that 1 tank round or two at/aa missiles can kill it. i would say 1 at/aa missile should kill an attack heli, the purpose of the attack heli is to stay out of range.

No that would definately be to easy... you get hit 1 time much too often to make it lethal...
I already posted my suggestion:

#1 Leave the armor on the BH like it is now (2 AA/AT/tank shells or 1AA/AT/tank shell plus some .50 fire), but beef up the guns like they originally were or just a tiny tad weaker.

#2 Give the other two helos more armor to make up for the inferior guns
