BFBC2 Amaranthen's Tracer Dart: Anti Chopper Commentary

[Amaranthuse]

My first commentary, did it with a cold and stuffy nose.

Voice is dull and pronunciation may not be clear at times.

Very good, I enjoyed it

you put in your vid in text that sometimes a text message does not appear for a tracer plant, it took me a while to work it out, the pattern is;
if your tracer dart lands on an enemy occupied vehicle and there is no friendly tracer already on the vehicle then you see the text message "tracer dart planted". If the enemy vehicle is already traced then your tracer sticks also, but you do not get the text message confirming it.

again nice commentary, make some more :thumbsup:

Sorry, Japanese and Chinese are my first languages and my native tongues.

In addition to my cold, my English can sound very awkward. My voice is dank and dull.

So far, I am getting positive feedbacks.

There is nothing I like better than darting and taking down choppers. :)

The thing I like better is killing the guy that darted me while I was in the chopper

Good video btw

Re: BFBC2 Amaranthen's Tracer Dart: Anti Chopper Commentary

Just goes to show how unbalanced the tracers and choppers are at this current state. Tracer darting is too easy, and pilots have no counter measure at all. Informative video, but it does show how unbalanced it is right now. You should not be able to lock on a target unless you have line of sight. It is easy enough to land a dart, after that, there is no skill at all involved.

My suggested fix would be reduce the tracer dart speed or add a drop over time for the projectile. Or make line of sight a MUST to get a lock on the chopper. Line of sight suggestion would at least give the pilot a chance to use terrain as cover. As it is now, there is no cover or anything you can do once darted. It is too one sided atm. Choppers should not not dominate without any threat, but a $100 dart cannot negate a multi million dollar Apache.

The black hawk is pretty much a flying coffin at this point, I think I should not be able to trace them if I do not have a direct line of sight

Its amazing how many people I saw bail the second my tracer dart was planted. Entire helis with full health straight to the ground.
