Heli gunship nose-gun.

[DrMcleod]

The helicopter gunships are a fine addition to the game, but do the nose guns do any damage AT ALL against vehicle targets? Even jeeps can soak up hundreds of nose gun bullets - has anyone done a test?


Oh yeah, and how come a Blackhawk can soak up 6 rocket hits from the Chinese gunship? Seems a bit much tbh.

the nose gun has a weird aiming system, i mean its literally stuffed. i was in the gunner position and i was about 10 metres away from a flag just hovering and killing infantry and i was hitting them square in the back and it wasnt doing any damage at all, but as soon as i aimed around them it hits.

I had the same problem with the chinese and USMC helo's but the MEC one with explosive rounds seems to do the job just fine, I can take out Vodniks and Hummers quite easily with it.

I think they need to adjust the ammo slightly on the other two attack helo's

Apparently there's a bug with the noseguns.

If you switch to TV mode, then back to the nosegun, the server gets confused and it thinks your nosegun is pointing "somewhere else" (e.g. not at your crosshairs).

The workaround is to move the nosegun to the far top-left/bottom-left/bottom-right/top-right, and then it should once again be in sync with the server.

Sometimes you can fire a lot of time at one target and it simply doesn't hit! It's probobly some kind of bug... But TV guided missle is very powerful and usefull against tanks...

The China and USMC attack choppers need miniguns, equal to that of the blackhawk, to balance with the MEC counterpart.

Yea, i agree, the Havoc is pure pwnage, but it is heavy and slow handeling, the Chinese and US ones are light and smooth.

The minigus on the USMC and PLA attack helis is more powerfull then the blackhawk's(they also fire explosive bullets). It just seems that sometimes even if you get the aim right they do 0 damage

i think its because ea designed the machine guns on the chopper to fire buillets that travel slower to create a tracer effect, so i tend to aim ahead of targets and works fine for me

Interesting! That would explain a few things.

The MEC chopper is amazing, you just have to fire near infantry and it's dead, I mean goddam, lucky it can be easly shot down, or it would be really overpowerd. I especially hate that thing on Sharqui Peninsula. You can basicly destroy the TOW, the AA, and all the buggy's around a flag before it overheats, and if someone is in a building you just shoot trough to window, and you only have to hit near them and they are dead.

I would think the US and China would be better against infantry and the MEC better against Armor, but the MEC is just better for both.
