Allow me to show some cheap kills with the pick-up Stinger kit from 21CW mod.

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

I don't think it's a good idea. In the POE2 mod the choppers have AA missiles, and I took one and a half minute to shoot down my first jet there with a chopper, so it's too easy.

Instead of that I would be glad with a radar that would show the incoming jets. It would be a really big help against jets if the chopper pilot would always be aware of the fact that a jet is heading to him even if it is in bomb mode.

And I think that 2 hits from an IGLA should destroy jets everytime. It's nonsense that you got hit by 2 missiles and the jet don't even start to burn. I think it would be a fair weakening and it would reduce the jets dominance by a fair rate.

Over at 21CW, a BF2 tournament which focuses on teamwork, our Attack Choppers have AA missiles. The missiles have been a great addition, adding another feature to chopper vs chopper and chopper vs jet. Another cool feature is our Littlebird choppers (small quick drop choppers) have moving UAVs which has shown to be a fantastic addition which adds to our game play and teamwork.

Come check it out, we are hosted by MyIS :)

this is how the attack helos work in 21cw. the pilot has 2 AA missles aswell as the normal hyrdras. its not easy to shoot down the jets though, so its not like AH spam, you have to time the AA perfectly or they simply get eatun up by the flares. (the video at 0:35 shows the helo killing the plane easily, that has since been tweaked, so its not overpowering)

its a kinky addition to the helos though, and 21cw offers many additions to almost every aspect of BF2 whilst still maintining the BF2 feel. its effectivly BF2 on drugs.

for example the weopans are a little more accurate and do a little more damage, not overkill, but just enough to make sure that you kill what you shoot at and you dont have to use a whole clip to get someone 100m away. also the sprint limit has been upp'ed a bit more so you can run a little further without stopping every 15 seconds to catch your breath. its faster and furious.

tanks are faster and more powerfull, but again the AT has been sped up a little a bit and there is no lock on tones (its RPG and AT4's) so you can pop out and ambush the tanks, rather than shoot from a distance and get killed before the Eryx hits (there is still Eryx in the mod though, just as a pickup kit)

check out the tourney, its pretty pimp (and free to play)

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

For those of you who inquired or are curious about a helo platform with AA, then it only makes sense to hear about it from people who use it all the time, which we do.
We also have Apache's, Havoc's and as was mentioned Littlebird's both in the transport and gunship class.
Apaches and Havoc's are more geared for armor maps, as they have hellfire missiles controlled by the pilot which lock onto armor. The locks can be broken though if the tank commander releases smoke.These choppers do not have A2A. It is only the AH-Z and the Cobra that have AA capabilities. They don't shoot down jets so much as keep them off their backsides, but they most definitely can if as mentioned, it is timed properly.
There is a lot of different anti air choices...from pick up kits...to gaskins/avengers/linebackers/shilka's....igla pits etc....so thinking that your as uber a helo pilot/gunner as some people may, our mod will open your eyes to the real meaning of coordination..in other words....you lead with your head first in any chopper....your dead meat, and real quick like.

Best way to find out about it ...is to check it out yourself:

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

god forbid that anyone suggest anything about a change to anything chopper related. As you can see the chopper whores get all uptight.

I have been playing AIX 2.0 lately and some of the choppers do have AA missles available. Makes for a nice change.

Of course since i don't have 1 gazillion hours in a chopper my opinion means nothing around here.

Is the video sped up?

Also, I see a hud compass arrow problem there.

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

In BF2 the helo AA missiles would fail to track the enemy jet but would hit the friendly jet instead. Not worth the bother.

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

I would find it would be pointless, you can take out planes with hellfires if timed correctly. Like Skag said it would ruin Helo combat...
Theres just no need for Helos at have AA missiles..

im going to have to agree with you.
although it would be ok in a mod that you so choose to play.

i do not belive that the video is sped up. The helos do go faster and take off alot faster, no sitting on the pad for 1hr waiting for the helo to get off the ground its very fast and very nice.

Well yes, it just looks like they are a bit unstable in the roll axis?

Re: What if choppers had AA missiles?

They're more sensitive and require skill to operate properly.
