Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

:)

I always fire something at them, even if it's only the assault rifle I'm carrying, and yes it would be easier if everybody threw something at a chopper!

Unfortunately it's getting to the stage where I just can't be bothered wasting my time anymore with choppers and am gradually falling in to the group of players who are of the thinking that "let's just leave choppers to their own little game (as we've done with jets since day one) and we'll get on with something else" - which only makes things worse

Ya i hear ya on that mentality. I have watched everyone run away on more than one occasion.
Last night we were getting our cheese handed to us by a chopper on Sharqi. We had no choice but to go toe to toe with him in the other chopper just to keep him of the rest of the team... I suppose once in awhile you have to fly around and kick some...:)

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

By making everyone run away or get slaughterd by their firepower...untill ground troops move in....or they could have some fast rope down...

Speaking of fast roping whatever happend to that???????????????

Choppes have never taken an inch of ground in any war at any time by
hovering over a point.. thats silly...and should you hit them with a
anti tank rocketm they simply fly away to a base where none of you
teammates are and hover to take that one..

A shoulder fired SAM would have been nice..

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

look the game isn't realistic, even a child knows this, and this is for the balance in game.

In the real world
- you go down from one shot, even pistol shot
- with 5 C4 pack you kill everything in a range of 50m
- and you couldnt even fly a chopper

and many more

You think the BH is balanced? ... wtf are you smoking lol.

The Seahawk is just fine.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

You are so negative. You have to try anyway. I watch so many people just look up and say oh look there is a helo and do nothing to try to stop it. If there are 6 guys around and they all shoot at it there is a good chance you can damage it enough to get it to return to base for repairs and keep it off the battlefield

ok, 1st you say, "oh just shoot it with this or shoot it here or there.."

now you say.. "IF there are 6 guys, all of you shoot it here or there.."

lmfao! gimme a break.. you sound like a retard in a Harvard debate
class..

you miss the whole point.. Chopper capping at the base I am located
HELL YEA, I try to shoot it down with whatever I got.. (but its not
as easy as all this 'hot shots' in here say it is..) but what about
when they fly to your farthest base and chopper cap that point, then
off to another, and another.. its gay as hell.. needs to be stopped.
EA will not stop this with their next patch, Im almost certain, which
sucks bigtime.. so I guess, all these little chopper kiddies who have
no foot soldier skills will continue hiding in their over powered
choppers, and should they start losing, they'll just continue to fly
off where your teammates ARE NOT, and cap that point by hovering
for a few secs..

really lame part of the game.. almost as lame as the constant blitz
of UAVS... what a crock.. a magical map that shows all your
enemies on it in real time.. the sniper class is just another class
these days, with a little better scope, he has no stealth anymore..

Some of the exploits and things EA/DICE allowed in this game ruin
the otherwise great attempt to be a real simulation..

Hell why dont they just add light sabres too and get it over with..

a buggy can do the same thing, or a tank, or an apc, or just a single foot soldier.

Its not an exploit nor is bf2 an attempt at a "real simulation".

Yes, but any of those things can easily be countered and going from flag to flag on the ground carries considerably more risk than flying over mountains.

Incidentally, I was playing today and hit a transport chopper three times in quick succession (the crosshair changed on each contact so I know they all hit) from a tank and the thing just flew off and came back 30 seconds later to complete the flag cap. Admittedly a transport chopper doesn't have the destructive force of a BH but I was wondering what all the experts on here would suggest doing to counter a fully engineered up transport when even three tank shells don't down it?

I agree that DICE screwed up in making it so that any chopper can take more than one tank shot. No matter what people say its still very difficult to hit a chopper with a tank shell due to its turret limitations, so when you actually get one shot in it should be an instant kill. If they were to do anything to slightly add more balance i would say that would be the only thing they need to do in the Chopper situation.

Just the fear of being hit from long range by a tank would make alot of people thing twice of capping certain flags.

Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

Yeah a tank shell should definatly kill a chopper. Also rifle and support gun dmg should be upped a little bit as well.

lol.. all the vehicles, weps, terrain based on REAL items... but
it wasnt an attempt ? just coincidence, I guess..

where are all the light sabres.. tie fighters ??
