    good anti-blackhawk tactics.

    I know the patch is comming out, but ppl will still "BH whore". heres a list of tactics ive found to be very useful for taking out a blackhawk.Useful, but not perfect.


    One of the easiest ways is to get 2-3 people and hide around a flag in vehicles that have mounted machine guns,(tanks,jeeps,humvees,etc.) wait for the greedy bh pilot to start capping the flag, and let lose with everything at once. theres no way that it will make it out. this works very good on levels like mashtuur city where u dont have much AA.an alternate way would be to have 3-4 anti-tankppl and wait for the BH to start capping a flag.



    An obvious solution would be to ram it with a jet or trans chopper, but a good pilot can usually aviod a chopper, jet ramming does works well.Attack choppers can own a bh if the gunner knows how to aim TV missles.



    Another effective counter is put 5 C4 on a flag pole and........... bye bye BH . usually this is hard to pull off unless ur the commander, b/c u need to be in sight range aka minigun range to know when to blow it. If you are the commander, launch arty on the helo pad after the BH goes down and u can delay them another 40 seconds or so.


    The funniest way in my opinion is get a MEC chopper squad going, fly over a blackhawk, and have a guy in the back chucking C4s on the top of the BH.if he blows em up the pilot can fly over the heli pad if its lightly defended and have the C4 guy keep carpet bombing em.



    Basic tips:

    If you see a bh comming, get out of minigun range. get below it, behind, or whereever just dont make yourself a target for the miniguns.

    dont sit in a stinger/IGLA if the driver angles the BH in your direction or you'll become target practice for the gunner.

    If they're dropping mines, be careful where your driving if your in a vehicle,so many people get obsessed with chasing the bh that they run over a mine and get owned.

      You forgot another tactic with the Jihad Flying Cow technique where you place C4 on the MEC's transport and blow the thing when you're close to the Blackhawk. You have to be careful or you'll kill yourself as you jump out.

      The JIHAD! Air Defense Badge
      Awarded to personnel who have proven themselves with explosive ordinance while raming enemy Blackhawks in a Flying Cow during active combat.
      • 24 kills in a Flying Cow (with C4), within the same round
      • 750 Global kills using a Flying Cow (with C4)




      Or, more difficult, you can angle the Flying Cow towards a Blackhawk, jump before it hits, as you're falling you wait for it to get near, then blow it as you safely parachute to the ground happy.

            My friends and I often form squads for just that. To quote one:

            Our tactics are fairly simple but devestatingly effective.

            1 .50 cal Machine Gun
            1 Assault Troop
            1 Anti Tank

            ---

            Firstly we drive to the Blackhawk with the most devestating machine gun we can get onboard. The driver is the Assault Troop, the gunner operates the gun, and we already have an anti tank in position.

            We speed up to the flag and stop so that the gunner is facing the Blackhawk. The driver bails and aims his GL into the cabin. The anti tank emerges and lines up a shot.

            Here the machine gunner lets loose at the cockpit area, subsequently the Assault Troop fires a grenade into the cabin so as to stop any medics from healing, and the anti tank finishes it off.

            We have become so effective at this it is incredible

                Is that confirmed to work? Anywhere on the tire will suffice? I thought this was changing because of the patch today.

                Also wondering, is it possible to shoot out the chopper pilot using the Vodnik (or the .50 cal on the jeep) -- what I mean is do the .50 cal bullets go through the plated glass?

                What I usually do is setup the jeep to shoot at the blackhawk, but I'm usually aiming for the gunner seats so they don't wreck me when the blackhawk turns around.

                  I believe it's possible to shoot out the pilot because I've heard the glass breaking and have been killed many times because of a vodnik at the front of the chopper and killing me, but still leaving the chopper intact.

                    Yes, I think you have to actually shoot the material that is the tire. The texture.
                    I think I read somewhere that the armor is associated to the texture. Going to be fixed in the patch anyway.

                      the AA guns work wonders too.

                        Yeah you can kill the pilot with any high caliber gun. Like the Unlocked Sniper Rifle, heavy machine guns, etc. But its incredibly hard to do so on the move cause you ussually taste the metal before the pilot and then the gunners can jump out and kill you anyway. Best way to do that is to sit near their helipad out of sight and snipe them as they jump into the BH works well with Jets and Attack choppers as well.
