Weak Points on Vehicles

[ParaSwarm]

Hey, wondering where all the weak points on vehicles are.

I know the treads and back on the tanks are weak.

I've some general ideas of the other vehicles, but I want to confirm this with experienced people who know from exploitation of these weak points.

So...helicopters, APCs, humvee?

Helos: Tail and main roaters
APCs: Rear and Wheels
Humvee: Wheels and back
Air craft: Who cares? Yer never gonna hit 'em!

You guys just need to learn how to use the stingers. You'll hardly never ever hit one flying by useing the missles, Try shooting at it when the jets coming at you. You'll have alot better chance of taking one down this way.

BTW if you miss jump the heck out of the stingers seat and RUN !

APC alwyas needs two anti tank rockets to destry it no matter what. it wont make a difference where you hit it.

I hit many helos on the rotor and on the tail and it also realy does not make a difference. you always need three rockets to take it down.

Are you sure that what you said is correct? did you verify it or you are jusy guessing? In real life what you are saying is very logical... however... it does not work in bf2.

if you hit the humvee from the back then you will hit the driver and that is why it works.

Yeah ditto about not hitting planes. I've taken down loads, with ground aa and jet missiles and guns.

Even got my first one with a tank shell yesterday, followed shortly by my second...woot!

Where to hit planes? Engines, and cockpit (may take out pilot). Best place to hit them? When there sitting on the runway spooling up...easy peasy and sometimes you can get the 2 other people that were waiting for the plane too

Yeah this is the only sure way to down a jet or chopper when its coming straight at you & almost on top of you the only down side is that 9/10 times you get killed to :hmm: .

This isn't correct. Did you do any research, or are these just your opinion/experience?

The helos doesn't have a weak point, it used to be their wheels but that changed with 1.03.
As for the APC, I also try to go for the back, but I'm not sure if it matters.

With humvees and other light vehicles I seem to be most successful with a rocket to the engine/bonnet area. The back is good for taking out passengers, but it's not a weak point per se.

I agree with you! APCs and Helos do not have weak points. If you hit a humvee from the front then it is only one shot to destroy it.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

apc's do have weak spots, but their overall armour is so weak it doesnt matter. helos have none and shooting a stinger at a jet coming towards you is a great way to miss.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

Humvee/Jeep any where on the front for an instant kill I shot down a F15 a few weeks back with the M95 I just took a pot shot at him & got him.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

I find with the apc's the rear the top and the wheel archies are the weak points and only need 2 missles anywere else can take upto 3 shots. This does vary though with each type of apc as there all silghtly different i.e. the usmc apc SEEMS to have slightly more fire power but slightly less proctection (wheel archies are less proteced). As for the tanks the tracks top back just below to turret and the gunners hatch seem to be weak spots only needing 2 AT shots if done correctly. I cant realy help you with the hummvee or the mec shed on wheels ive never done any testing on them but the back does seem logical and so does the wind screen if you can take a BH pilot out by shoting the windscreen you should be able to on those particular vehicals. Also On a couple of occassions i have sucessfully taken out the pilot in a attack heli by shoting the cockpit glass with an anti tank round.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

I think for APC's and tanks the weakest spot is the very top...i do know that EA made the hp of the tanks roof a little higher in the last update. For choppers, ive shot a fair bit down, but its always with apc or mounted MG. only a few have i gotten with true anti air, and those are the only ones that count when working toward AA medal and stuff.

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

The best way to take out a jet. The M203 . Did it a few days ago. Fired a grenade randomly in the air and hit a J-10. He flew straight into it.

Accused of using the "203 hack" :hmm: didn t know there was one, but there ya go.:|:

Re: Weak Points on Vehicles

I think the weak points like BH wheels got all fixed in the patch but since 2 AT-rockets is enought to take out a tank/APC, the most important thing as an AT-guy is that u have the patience to wait until u have a clear shot at the rear/top.

It is very possible to get 2 shots at a tank before the driver spots u, but 3 usually u get killed by the time you're reloading for your 3rd shot.
