Solution for plane whore...

[GreenMonk108]

Dice could just introduce new character for a change. We already have anti tank personel. I don't see why they shouldn't have anti aircraft personel as well like portable stinger. Some might complaint that it will not fair to personel transport helicopter. (This is the reason why russian was kicked out from Afganistan in the first place due to heavy lost of helo by American supplied stinger.) Well, we all know how crappy the missile behaved on the fix location. Beside, the anti tank missile is way more accurate to the tank than anti aircraft missile to the jet, and we don't see tankers complain about that.
With this addition, I think the game will be more balance and more fun.

I really don't mind people always using planes, but at the same time, a shoulder-fired stinger would be AWESOME. Good luck ever getting DiCE to add one though. :p

A handheld stinger would just make it easier to accidentally shoot down friendly aircraft.

64 Player server= 32 player a side, about 10 Stinger Soliders 1 pilot 30% chance of hitting target=Pilots Toast and here comes the rock, paper, scissors idea again.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

It's not neccessary to a disadvantage of jet pilots. If you think the overall picture of a game (64), if we devote most players to stinger, the tank will rule. So, players will have to adjust to that. Eventually, it will balance out. Each squad will have a stinger soldier, a tank soldier, spec op, assault, etc.... My point is we have to put more variables into the game; so, no certain group dominate the game. It works like "Check and Balance" system. As of today, you see pilots earned so much points compare to other units.

yea, but seeing how the AA missles act, there would still be little chance of hitting an enemy jet. And if you did manage to hit 1 time.

By the time he came back to you, he'll have gone and repaired again.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Anybody played Joint Ops: Escalation? They have stingers there and it works out perfectly. Not everyone spawns as engineer and there is a balance of classes.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Good idea. But I doubt DICE will ever do that.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Personally what EA should do is add a new kit called Pilot. They get a helmit and a pistol and a knife. They are the only ones that can fly a plane or a chopper. That way you wont have 30 guys in line waiting on a plane and 2 actually working.

Also, the whole concept of team work will be increased as you will want at least one guy in a full squad that is a pilot if you plan on flying a bh.

Re: Solution for plane whore...

no no no then all the newbs will be pilot and nobody could fight

Re: Solution for plane whore...

How is that different than now?

Re: Solution for plane whore...

I don't think it would be that effective against jets and way too overpowering against helicopters...

Re: Solution for plane whore...

"way too overpowering against helicopters..."
Ahh, that is how realism should be. War is hell. In real life, a blackhawk doesn't work alone. It needs attack helicopter support or even jet support for it safety. This is how mature players want to see. A trategy need to develope to ensure safety for helicopter. helicopter and attack helicopter have a reason to work together. Keep them busy on those stinger whores...:laugh:

Re: Solution for plane whore...

Have the stinger be a one hit kill against jets and have almost perfect aim after a lock on to the rear. And have it be 2-3 hits against a chopper since they are technically more armored.
