Gustav isn't a 1 Shot kill on a Chopper?

Re: Gustav isn't a 1 Shot kill on a Chopper?

I havent done it recently, but it have always worked for me.
Maybe a passenger repaired it?

Attack chopper; can't repair in air... Should've clarified.

Possible that the pilot or crew member had V Armor.

Ah! This could be a possibility. I never had to hit a chopper twice with a Gustav till today.

RPG-7 + Explosive = chopper spins for 2 seconds and explodes.

I always nail one or two passengers.

Without the explosives perk thing the CG doesn't kill a chopper in one hit, with it it does.

I think the RPG and the AT are kinda similiar, the choppers goes to 0 armor but gives the pilots time to bail.

So always use Refined Explosives!

When a helo gets hit by a cg, it usually looses control and goes down anyways. Every time I get a cg on it, they always go down, not necessarily exploding mid air.

I'm just happy to see it go down, annoying buggers.

Did you have the explosive perk selected?

This seems a bit weird to me.

Today I was in my clans Conquest server and kept darting the enemy choppers as they flew overhead. I would lock on, shoot the Gustav and it would hit, I would get the +30 Vehicle Point Damage and the chopper would do either a 180 or 360 in the air, start smoking badly, but still stayed up each time and flew back for repairs. I would have to lock on again and hit it a second time before they repaired it to destroy it.

But then, without the Chopper being Tracered, I'd Gustav it (Because pilots flew low) and it would take it down with 1 shot.

Has this always been like this? I don't ever recall needing to hit an attack chopper twice when tracered with RPG or Gustav to take it down?!
