Did they fix attack chopper guns?

[[SAJ]Sentinel]

Didn't have time to play 1.03 much yet, so I didn't get into the attack chopper.

Did anyone notice if DICE has fixed the bug where attack chopper gun would be inaccurate after TV missiles were used? (basically, what pilot and gunner would see being hit was way off)

Do we still need to 'recalibrate' the gun after TV missiles?

I haven't tested that either with one of my trusty co-pilots but I will do tomorrow and let you know

Don't know, but it certainly wouldn't be the only bug to go un-fixed. (repair meter while in vehicles)

How do you recalibrate btw?

When you switch back to gun (after TV missiles), you move the gun top-left, bottom-left, top-right, bottom-right.

In the beginning, I didn't think it worked, but when I tried it few times I realized it really helps. I tested it quite few times locally on a LAN, with a friend. He would switch to TV then back to gun, and I'd see him shooting different point than what he was seeing. After he'd to "calibration", we'd both see him shooting the same point.

I've been shot down countless times because I couldn't do this sequence fast enough and take out the threat. Instead of shooting at guy manning the AA site, I was spending time moving damn cursor all over the screen

Problem is that there was no rule. If, at least, I knew I had to aim bit to the right or bit to the left, I'd get used to it. But sometimes I'd get hits when I point 5-10cm to the right, sometimes 5-10cm top-left, etc.

Annoying as hell.

Not sure if they fixed the calibration bug or not, but the guns certainly seem to be more powerful. I was able to take down a Cobra with the Mi-28 gun in no time at all - before it was almost impossible. On second thought, maybe that's because they fixed the calibration bug and now my shots are hitting where they are supposed to. I seemed to have better luck shooting infantry also, but maybe that was luck.

It also seems to me like the guns on the choppers are MUCH better now!!

true to that, i just killed a guy running 300m out with the bb gun which the chinese chopper calls its turret in like 2 seconds... i always thought i missed because of lag, but now my bullets fly truer.

Re: Did they fix attack chopper guns?

I did seem to fare better on the gun with the Cobra, but now I feel like a noob all over again with the changes they made to the TV-Guided missile. I'm going to have to relearn it. I don't know why they changed it - it was working just fine. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Also, the way the helos handle now sucks. The Cobra used to be very manueverable and quick, now it handles like the Seahawk, and the Seahawk handles like a damn aircraft carrier.

Re: Did they fix attack chopper guns?

They tweaked it...I was able to take 2 US attack choppers down from more than 400 m with the missle...but like the BH they took most of the armor off...a tank can take you out with 1.5 hits....
