What to do against a good gunship pilot??

[Strike1.Tango]

The only thing in this game that can really own me is a gunship. When I play on smaller titan servers, a good gunship pilot and a gunner can really dominate the entire battlefield.

Any vehicle will be destroyed within seconds, and whenever I try to take him out with a SAAW he will put his shield up to deflect the rockets then kill me. So here I am on my own titan, all silos are red, and I'm to afraid to go out. Can anyone help me?

[Lord Sharpe]

Another good pilot. Or a different server.

sit in the titan aa gun, get good in the gunship, use the SAAW get a lock wait for his sheild to go down then fire from a coverd postion, use the stationary aa or just put your active defense up when your in a tank or walker and keep an eye out for it

[The_Eliminator]

Easy tbh, get yourself the engi kit and equip the SAAW and a PDS, get in the gunship placing the PDS on the gunship, then fly up really high, when you spot the gunship on your PDS dive bomb him, if you get into trouble use your SAAW to finish him off.

the walker AA guns are very powerful, if you can emp them low enough to the ground your guns will rip right through them. If in a tank and in a fight with the gunship, hop in the f2 position and start firing with the machine gun to weaken them, then when they are lining up to kill you, shoot them as much as you can and hop out before the tank explodes, then whip out your saaw and hopefully finish them off. If they are good in a gunship they will most likely know what is happening and pop shields and get the hell out of there. Honestly, as an experienced gunship pilot I can say tanks, apcs don't scare me. But walkers are a big threat, their guns are the most powerful and they are very hard to destroy with a gunship unless the gunner is good with the tv missile. But to be honest, a good pilot, if flying with a good gunner, is virtually unstoppable unless there is an equally good gunship pilot on the other team.

Ram him.

j/k

Stay up higher in the air, try to get the first hit. Be sure you have a gunner and a SAAW equipped. And if all else fails, ram.

well dont use SAAW they rarely work unless u see the gunship in mid battle with another then they help both u and your allied gunship

if ure in a gunship first thing i do;

if im facing the gunship and were about to take each other on i will always fire 1 thats it 1 rocket usually it scares them enough into putting sheilds on. they unload there rockets sheilds up take a hit or 2 then they realise there sheilds are going down ures is still up and you have rockets left so you can either

a. if there trying to turn unleash ure load so u can destroy them

b. if there moving forward and turning (makes it hard for missiles to hit) wait there is a point where the gunship takes time to go forward (if u look at animation of the gunship the thrusters have to move to the horizontal position) thats the time to fire most of ure rockets

something i try to do is use the minimum amount of rockets possible to detroy things u nvr knw if ure gna get locked on or sumthin pops out that needs to be blown up

remember gunships can own the sky and ground

one instance was when my squad was pinned down by about 6 enemies all hurdled around a explosive box (dont ask why >_<) i had one missiles so i turned the gunship and hit the box and killed 6 enemies and then my squad m8s on the ground capped the silo

gunners are always good even if they dnt have alot of experience in the seat (every1 has to learn) they can provide distractions even if the tank or any vehicle is infront)

always make the enemy fire first

STRAFE! the gunship its the best way to abvoid the rockets inmo

go up high (like jets in bf2) and divebomb tanks (always leaving enough time to pull up ofc)

it takes time and effort to learn how to fly in bf2 when i got bored and wanted to learn to fly good i did single player to learn the basics then died millions of times online but inmo better to learn online since u nvr knw whats gna happen

RAMMING is the lowest thing to do practically in bf2142 so obviod doing it, if i accidently ram an opponents gunship il always say sry caus i h8 when it happens to me

and for gods sake remember to watch out for lamp posts! =P

I guess you haven't come up against any dolphin diving vossers?

rofl :salute: tru tho :cry:

They are dead before they hit the ground :evil:

Thx for tips Lt.ConVix :salute:

500 hours of play and I didn't think the tank machinegun did anything to gunships except tell them you are there. How many tank machinegun rounds does it take to take down a gunship? Do APC rounds do damage as well?

I have taken down tanks with the tank main gun and the EMP from an APC, but the machine guns never seemed to do anything, what about transports?

and for gods sake remember to watch out for lamp posts! =P

I hate it when im flying low avoiding enemy gunship and WTF?!? i Hit a lamp post or a pipe.

But i once avoided a gunship when i fly thru the bridge on Suez, that guy rammed into a tank wreckage, i was sooo happy when i did the same thing a few seconds later:laugh:

If you are in a Transport that is manned with 2 gunners and 2 engineers repairing that also are equiped with SAAWs you can own a gunship. Between the missiles and bullets chewing them up they will learn to fear you. Unfortunately this is rare, and requires some coordination. Usually when I am in a tank or apc or on foot and the Gunship see's me, if I can't find cover quickly, I am dead. Gunships are the Queen bee, no doubt about it. But the Transport of Doom can defeat it. With 2 guys repairing you can take a lot of hits and survive. With 2 gunners firing you can take down another Transport or Gunship pretty quickly. If the engi's are not repairing they can use their SAAW's and can shoot 4 missiles pretty quickly. If they stagger them the Gunship has no chance to survive that. It's hard to get 5 guys together with the right roles in the right positions on the transport. BUT, it can be done.:yay:

Those are easy. Dolphin-dive them with a krylov :nod:
