    It's a game, get over it.

    C'mon, you know everyone should carry an unlimited supply of ass-chutes.

      I find best defence against BH, is a TOW. If there is one at a base by the flag then hop on it and when the BH comes slowly hovering over the flag, you have an easy target and it does serious damage as well as killing most passengers.
      Otherwise il use the 50.cal jeep machine guns they do serious damage , especially if theres two of them firing a the same time.

        All the other machine guns just make little noises and no damage

        we could either argue about this for 10pages or you could just find an empty server and test it out. once you've done that and realise you were wrong, dont post again as you will only draw attention to it.

          Ahhh the classic Internet assery effect, where a person feels the right to personally attack somebody due to not having to face the consequences. Remember earlier when you were talking with that person about him following you around and he accused you of being a jerk? This kind of post is why.

          I registered on this damn site just so I could say this. Which I guess means your a pretty good troll.

              Re: Helicopters: Real World vs EA World

              you guys are missing the point..

              I dont have so much trouble with the choppers ability to take
              so much damage.... nor the fact that infantry has little weps to
              truly be effective.. both of which I think should be tweaked, yes.

              the point is that these things just hover off to your farthest base,
              hover for 10 seconds and take your point, then come on back..
              So the argument that 'dont complain about choppers, they are
              easy to kill... just do this.... blah blah.....' is bogus.. I cant do
              any of what you say when they are just off capping your control
              points when your 10 miles away..

              Chopper Capping ruins this game for me, totally.. I play only no
              copter maps anymore if I can help it.. When you get om a 32 or
              64 sized map with 3 chopper whores, 2 jet whores, it becomes a
              total clusterf*** of chopper capping, chopper turret spam, and
              jets bombing any and every control point just for the hell of it.

              I stopped playing BFV because of that g@y chopper capping,
              seeing those choppers spin around the flag poles was a disgrace
              to the game.. If EA doesnt put a stop to it in BF2, I will stop
              playing it also..

              its a shame people have to exploit the game, and then defend it
              by saying 'oh its in the game!' BS.. teamkilling is in the game too,
              but its not accepted is it? its also a shame that a game maker can
              get sooo close to having a really good war game simulation, but then
              at the end, mucks it up by allowing choppers to take ground, or magical
              maps with all your enemies on it.. get real.

              btw, yes i know this is just a game.. but NONE of us play this game
              with the amount of hours that we do thinking 'oh its just a game'.

                Nope, sorry there big guy was'nt me. Looks like youve inspired someone to register just to tell you not to be an ass. lol kinda sucks he beat me to it this time.

                Ohh come now glasseye you know full well who "w/e guy" is if you need a refresher check back on like page 6 of this thread.

                your advice was fine its the fact that you felt the need to insult him at the end of your post.

                P.S.

                There is nothing wrong with admitting you were wrong.

                  Yeah you hear stories about rocks taking down choppers and guess what you can find stories of Choppers serviving RPG hits...its all luck of the draw...

                  just like how you can die from falling standing up or just get a bump on the head...I mean I have heard stories fo people drowning in the bathtub.....point being sometimes it happens sometimes it doesnt...bottom line this is an ARCADE game

                      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???????????????

                          That chopper didn't get destroyed, it just had to land because the pilot was afraid the rotor would conk out. Just like in BF2, get hit by something, immediately head back to helipad.

                            Exactly! There's not much that can be done to stop a fully loaded transport chopper from going for the farthest flag (as there shouldn't be) but if you do decide to defend said flag you should have a realistic chanceof doing it.

                            With regards the people talking about using vehicle turrets/AV to take down choppers... GOOD LUCK.

                            If the chopper crew aren't completely retarded they will either blow up the vehicle or shoot you out of it before you get anywhere near to destroying the chopper. Similarly with AV, even assuming you can get multiple direct hits (which isn't that easy due to the warning beeps which will cause the pilot to move to a degree and the fact that to guide the missile you need to stay in the line of sight - making you a sitting duck to the chopper), one or more engineers will negate your efforts anyway.

                              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

                                :)

                                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
