Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

In all seriousness re-introducing the powerful blackhawk was never going to happen without similar upgrades to the other two transport choppers to give them equal strength. Which would then be called into question with the different seating arrangments in the other choppers.

With the armor upgrade the transport choppers can fill their purpose of moving a number of soldiers from point A to point B with more safety. This change also does not give any one chopper power over the others.

Relativ safety on maps like Wake would mean 3x armor.

How much did you beef up the armor?
Did you beef up the windscreen too? (the aircraft's machinegun can easy take out the pilot)

It is a TRANSPORT chopper.

That's what it should be used for. The guns provide some defense. Yeah, they're not great but they should NOT have been as powerful as they were in v1.0. That thing was god-mode.

Man, why can't you guys get over this?

You want a weapons platform? Get in a tank or an attack chopper.

well dice obviously thought the armour was to weak as it has been addressed accoeding to the changelog. good news shame no more power for guns but that might end up like th eold dasy of blackhawk whoring so abit more armour for better survivability is cool nice one eadice u cocked up the release but i forgive u but if u do it again ill puck u up the *** with my 50 cal

in 1.2, or whatever patch used to have higher armored tran-helis, increased armor didnt help the helis one bit on wake. the only thing that can help the tran-heli on wake is if the j10 hitboxes and heat were corrected and if aa had an equaled out with air.

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

o sorry, i assumed your post was saying the guns should be beefed cuz its a gunship, i didnt read the whole thing, my mistake. not on a high horse, i just know the bf2 tran-heli is meant for transport, not as a gunship.

Come on... that's crap. I told you what to do... give the Blackhawk the guns with more accuracy and power and the other ones more armor... of course they would have been different, but they are used for different things... USMC often has to fly off the carrier and attack some CPs while the other teams usually only have to fly to the carrier and drop out and rape :/ The guns on the BH are just ridiculous. The armor doesn't give you more safety on Wake or Gulf of Oman when 1000 things are shooting at you and you can't shoot back because you only have some nice turning thingy in your hand that does look cool but nothing else...

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

how about more accuracy rather than splash damage?

how about ricochet instead of splash damage?

[RocketChild]

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

I still say put the Mi-28 cannons on the MEC transport. Then you have balance! One would have a speedy round burst and the other have an explosive time that would own anything in range. Hell ya, do that!!!!

Nerf Stick > .50 Cal :P

Someone needs to hide the nerf stick.

Thank you for your answer, but you seem to have missed a very big point.

The thread title says "Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?"

The answer to that question has been in favor of beefing up of guns, and beefing up guns and armour on all sides.......

Yes! Beef up the guns and armour. 38.31%

Only beef up the guns. 36.4 %

Did you miss that?

What you did was...........

Only Beef up the armour. 15%

The thread question didn't mention anything about "re-introducing the powerful blackhawk" it was Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides.

I think, or actually I hope, they were just doing those quick changes so that it's at least a little better and will edit the helos in following patches when they have more time for those gameplay issues (like the J10 thing too)

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

alot of people didnt like the last patchs because the blackhawk was cheap, now people are telling them to buff it. You either make it do alot of damage and get taken out easier, or give it small amounts damage and hard to kill. Since people would get mad getting killed easy when flying, and since it is a transport helicopter this was probably the best course of action.

Anyways all in all no one should be pissed off with more defence instead of offence, while it may not do alot of damage it is hard to take out and that makes it balanced.

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

I neva complained about the blackhawk when it was a slaughterhouse, IMO they should have kept it as it was but mayb increase power of the other transport choppers to balance it out.

Re: Beefing up Transport Choppers on all sides?

Well I also dont think they want the battle to totally revolve around transport choppers on maps like mashtuur either.
