    One part of patch I am NOT looking forward to.

    I am not looking forward to the change that will be made in the patch in regards to the Blackhawk. I have only "blackhawk whored" twice. I didn't find it too much fun, just sitting in the back with my wench, repairing the whole time. I later found out, that one of the times I did this and recieved a score of 179, I was on a non-ranked server.:laugh:

    I am not looking forward to the change because, I do not believe there is any problem with it, and there is nothing I love more than taking out fully loaded blackhawks!

    On Saturday night, I was playing on the Stalemate map. I was on the Chinese team in my trusty tank playing as an engineer as usual. A well organized clan was manning the blackhawk and doing what we all know they do. I have become very good at shooting the tanks at long distances. I love the stalemate map, because it is great for anti-blackhawk whoring. I decend from the western chinese base on the hill, and sit on the road waiting for the blackhawk.

    On Saturday night in one game I took out the fully loaded blackhawk 6 times! This was out of 13 encounters. (It would have been 7 but someone on my team hit them with the Ernx after I hit them twice with the tank). The pilot was skilled, he could fly well, I just hit them from so far they had no idea what was happening. With engineers on board who know what they are doing it takes three hits to take it down since they will begin to repair immediately.

    As the BH decends on a flag I hit them, the pilot knows this, hits the throttle to go back up, this takes time, so I get one more hit as he starts to leave, it takes a lot of skill to get the third hit as the BH is leaving the area as fast as it can. Greedy pilots are much easier to kill.

    That round I scored 93 points. I killed 51 died only 3 times.

    I also do this a lot on the Mash City map. It feels great taking these suckers down. I am not looking forward to the patch as it might make an end to BH whoring! I will therefore not be able to anti-BH whore.:cry: I think it is great that the game promotes that kind of teamwork. Trust me, you can rake in the points (if that is what you like) by anti-BH whoring.

    Sorry for the long post, please add your comments.:)

    Who ever said the patch would end so-called Blackhawk whoring?

      When people do not get as many points for doing things as they otherwise would, i.e. engineers will only get three repair points and then no more, to cap flags people might have to get out of the copter and getting killed more often, decreasing the incentive to repeat the procedure. BH whoring might end because the benefits of doing so might be possibly outweighed by the costs, like dying too much.

        It won't end it, it will just make less easy to score a million points. The flag capture with a load BH takes about 3 secs. With the patch it will take longer, but people will still rather do that than fight on the ground.

        I have probably done the whoring thing maybe 5 times. It's fun once in a while, but I could never do it over and over and feel good about myself.

        I was on Mashtuur the other day and saw a guy take out a BH with c4. It was near that power grid thing. I play spec ops a lot. I have never been able to blow up a BH from the ground. I don't know how he did it. He either planted it in the chopper before they all got in it, then waited for them to fly to a flag before setting off the charge (I doubt it because the thing had been flying around for a while), or he planted all 5 c4 bags on something elevated, and the chopper got too close to the ground or whatever he had the c4 on. Believe me, I have planted c4 on the ground in front of flags and have tried to blow up BHs trying to cap it. It never worked for me. I bet that guy felt great since he got 5 or 6 kills out of it.

        I have tried to take them down with tanks, too. I have only done it once. I can't get the angle right. Depending on the distance, as you know, you have to aim high in order to hit it.

        p.s. One thing I have noticed is that you don't see BH whoring on Oman. I used to play Oman almost exclusively. I never saw BH whoring there. I guess because there's too many sam sites but even still you'd expect to see people attempt it. I rarely have seen it on Oman. I guess because it's just not as easy as on Mashtuur. You might be right, people might give up on it on Mashtuur if the rewards aren't as high.

          Again, this is all hearsay and rumor in this topic. Wait til the patch comes out until you all start making assumptions.

            I was piloting a BH trying to take that site and a spec ops set off some c4 there but it barely damaged the BH. Been a while since I played Mashtuur but it seemed like people on the MEC seemed to fight off BH whoring pretty well.

              I'll be glad when they update blackhawk, there is no skill in sittin in the back of a blackhawk and raking in points by doing nothing but twisting a spanner, or aiming near enemy and just destroys people.

              When the update comes it will seperate the real players from the noob point whores :p

                I hope they don't change it too much either. A great target to take out with armour. I only get ****ed off when they cap all the flags and the map ends prematurely, or when you don't pay attention and re-spawn as they are capping and get mini-gunned for your troubles.

                What i would like to see is making the Jets either a bit easier to take out with AA or make them have to actually land to re-arm or repair.

                  I hope they make the Anti tank more powerful so its easier to take them down.

                    what's even better is strapping all your C4 to the Hip and ramming the Blackhawk

                      I find the PKM to be a very effective deterent for the BH. On Mashtuur City; I run around looking for the BH the whole round, and when I find it, I start putting rounds into it. I have only destroyed a BH twice with the PKM, but it does enough damage to make them think twice about hovering. There has been a number of times that I have used the PKM to knock the passengers out of BH's.

                          what they should of done was not nurf the BH but to improve the flying buses . Inside the BH you get nice leather seats and death rays in the back of the flying bus you get to sit on a crate and shot a pee shoter how balanced is that .

                          p.s. i know its not a pee shoter but theres no splash damage hardly like the death rays.
