Re: what was BH whoring like?

Sure the Blackhawk’s were fun for the guys manning the guns
But it wasn’t fun for the guys who were getting raped every round on Mashtuur City
When it came you make some desperate attempt to man the vodnik ,
You probably get 10-20 shots in the Blackhawk before the guns killed you in 2 seconds

Re: what was BH whoring like?

Black Hawks werrree soooo much fun just no other way to discribe it.

Pissed me off that EA nerfed them wish they had just boosted the other transports in a big way.

I remember playing rounds on zatar wetlands with 8 people on vent 6 got in the BH and the other 2 in the attack chopper ahhh the attack and the bh working together you could oowwwwn.

I've rarely seen more teamwork than the days of bh's admittedly the teamwork only happened inside blackhawks but for a while it was there. And even if your squad didnt get the bh for a round those hawkers tended to stick together and play as a team sigghhh

What was great was if you could peg someone with a grenade or just a regular gun while sitting in a chopper that took some skill (or witht the grenades major luck)

And what was really great was picking a enemy out of the chopper with a sniper rifle.

**** U EA

Re: what was BH whoring like?

I wasnt around at that time so can someone tell me what it was like, were jets and attack choppers popular back then or did everyone rush to the BH as soon as they spawned

were the other transport choppers that powerfull or was it only the BH?

It was heaven.......

The guns were much better, the way they should be still. There were plenty of counter measures against a blackhawk.

Abuse did become a problem on certain maps like Mashtur City. You were able to make endless points from supplying ammo to everyone in the heli, there was no limit. So you would have a blackhawk full of support guys throwing out grenades, and resupplying eachother, maybe an engineer throwing out mines, and a spec-ops throwing C-4.

I think they could have just made the guns a little harder to aim, but kept the splash, mini guns ARE NOT supposed to tickle, they spray thousands of rounds at high velocity i mean seriously, now its just silly, you have to basically drill a guy to kill him, it should be a sweep effect of death, not dead on accuracy with no splash.

You used to be able to sweep back and forth across the SkyCow(MEC Transport chopper) and empty the whole thing, it was great to watch the bodies fall out, it looses control, boom., ahhhh those were the days.:hmm:

Re: what was BH whoring like?

they blackhawk gun should pwn more than in 1.12 cuz in real life the blackhawk gun can kill very easily and very deadly

Re: what was BH whoring like?

Oh i remember getting totally assraped in Mashtuur city. I couldn't go anywhere without getting pwned by the 'hawk team. Ah those were the days.

Bring back the old Blackhawk!!!

I used to make a squad called "Anti-Hawk" We would have three AT guys, two support, and i would be a medic, or assualt. We were fairly succesful most of the time, but there was a fair share of mini-gun death, the main point being, it was fun.

But for those guys whom just run around the map, and get blazed as the blackhawk flys by, well, it happened alot.

Some people just lone wolf it all the time, i found that those were the people i saw dying the most, not organized, just respawning over and over at the same spot they hover in the chopper, and get mowed down again, and again.

It was a goof on the dev teams part for drastically reducing its damage like that, after the official release of the game too, thats why im shocked, how can you make such a crazy change and not know ITS TOO MUCH

Re: what was BH whoring like?

I hated being MEC on Mashtuur, but if you worked as a team and people manned the Vodnik 50 cals and used PKMs on it, meh it wasnt too bad.

Since all the patches, some friends and I have taken to using the MEC chopper as a kill factory dropping C4 from the back with timely drops. :laugh: Not as effective as the BH was, but still fun.

Pilot=support, a medic or 2, 1 engie and 2 spec ops droppin c4 from the back.

These days its easy to get the chopper, you just have to race that sneaky sniper that wants to drop on those high places that have now been figured out.

Yeah, I do miss those days whoring in the BH though hahaha

Re: what was BH whoring like?

The Blackhawk was a fantastic weapon, and IMHO if they'd kept it as it was, but introduced the "only one person in a vehicle contributes to flag capture" it would have made the game more fun.

Blackhawks arriving in a hot LZ, guns blazing, people jumping out and securing the site, then zooming off again.

It would also have worked if they'd given the damn schoolbus some guns worth mentioning.

The gun on the Blackhawk were seriously easy to get kills with, I think they were where i got my best kill streaks from.

Having a chopper full of engineers repairing, while the medics also auto healed was annoying, but it would have played out ok if the MEC/Chinese could have done it as well.

My specialty used to be shooting down Blackhawks with the Eryx, Aim for the pilot, and kill him, and sometimes the plane would crash. Other times team up with another AT guy and the Hawk didn't stand much of a chance.

True I got loads of deaths form it, but the kudos you got when you did shoot the bastards out the sky was fantastic.

Incidently the best scores I got as an engineer have been made ground pounding, CQB with the M11-87, but I did get a whole heap of points when I was in the BH :)

Re: what was BH whoring like?

The BlackHawk was fun (if you were lucky enough to snag a minigunner seat) but admittedly far too easy to rack up big points with no skill involved. Capping a flag in about a second was pure retardation and the BH unbalanced many maps and allowed the USMC to dominate MEC and China. That doesn't mean DICE should've nerfed the BH weapon like they did. The flag capping nerf was warranted but the mini-gun nerf shouldn't have been so severe.

They should introduce splash damage back to ALL transport guns (Mec, China and USMC but leave the BH gun with a slight edge) but not at the same level it was pre-nerf. A slightly smaller splash radius and a quicker drop off on the damage would fit perfectly. Currently the BH gun is useless and it's just a shame. To keep the BH point gain in check they should also retool the way in which vehicle kill assists and vehicle special assists work.

So to recap a new and improved "lesser" transport gun, plus the current lesser armor, plus the current transport repair rate nerf all totaled would result in a very effective yet very balanced vehicle that isn't a waste of space like it is now.

I totally agree. It was a lot of fun and a worthy opponent.
My best memory of it is when I managed to put a rocket thru the opening in the back of the BH, as it was flying away and killed the pilot and a gunner.
This was my sweet revenge, after being killed so many times by their insane weapons.
But let’s not forget the other transport choppers.

Re: what was BH whoring like?

I'm surprised no one here seems to convey the side that had to endure the havok the UH-60 raised whenever it arrived. I remember back before the UH-60 was nerfed, there were frequent and usual rants against it, there were threads that would go over 50 or 100 posts since UH-60's power and purpose was controversial hence openning up a debate that could never end.

It was almost impossible to shoot down a UH-60 that carried a medic, support, and two or three engineers. In maps such as Mashtuur and Shongua Stalemate where AA systems were scarce, it was almost impossible to shoot down the UH-60 unless you were really lucky, lucky as in either being able to throw a grenade inside it or attaching a C4 on its belly, or a teammate ramming it to the ground or blow it from the air.

No, it's not glamourous as you might be imagining now, I can assure you that if you were playing BF2 earlier when UH-60 was at is prime, you would've hated it also. Worthy opponent? Where are the people that cried it was overpowered and unfair for MEC and PLA?

Re: what was BH whoring like?

The original BH was nothing short of a rape mobile, it was seriously overpowered; now it has been over-nerfed, but the situation is better than it was before.

You have to imagine that anything on the ground, short of a tank could be taken out quickly by the BH, apc’s were like candy to those eager minigunners. Returning fire was futile, your screen would be shaking violently due to the incoming fire, while your health bar steadily dwindled down to 0. as infantry, you were toast, the minigunners only had to somewhat hit near you, and you would die.

Fighting back was difficult, your best hope was to ram it with the mec/pla chopper, force it down so you could buttrape it. For.. about 30 seconds when the BH respawned and the rape began all over again. USMC players caught on, and made the enemy mainbase/chopper spawn their first target. Your other options were to c4 flagpoles and wait for the chopper to hop in for a near instant flag grab, or the ol .50 on the Vod. Of course, any damage you’d do would be repaired instantly ,but after you get mown down from god’s chariot itself about.. 12 times, you get pissed enough to do anything.
