Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

i think it all depends on if you can fly decently

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

Stop trying to use reality as the barometer of how the game should work.

It is pretty stupid to talk about how attack copters are stand-off weapons platforms in real life, when referring to a game where the distances are much, much shorter than real life.

In real life, helicopters don't get shot down by tank rounds because the helicopter is never detected by the tank, much less in line of sight. Unfortunately, I can't stand off a mile and fire a TOW over a hill at a bunkered tank in BF2, now can I?

It is a game, they have to try to balance all of that, while using real-world weapons, but don't expect it to be completely realistice, or completely arcade. The worst part are people who argue realism when it supports their view, then ignore it when it doesn't.

you are wrong the abrams tank is very capable of attacking low flying helos in real life, and in the game they fly WAY to close to enemy armor..for God sake man watch some history channel shows about tanks, they are on all the time

How did you as the pilot get 35 kills?

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

I know I'm a very good helo pilot, the problem is, my skill as a helo pilot means nothing compared to a noob in a jet that can shoot me down at will. It sucks. =\

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

Oh man, will this ever end. It's a video game. What does reality have to do with it? I've unloaded an entire belt from a PKM into a guy across the street and didn't even hit him. Jetjockies, and heelomonkeys are the hardest to please.

Yep, I remember that! We lost the game because you just sat there and didn't bother with flags because you wanted to "improve your stats man"

1.2 is a noob patch, no if buts or maybes.

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

Please cry me a ****ing river.

Just played a clanmatch on dragon valley and got 130 points, took everything alone with my guided missile, after a while they even stopped to use their vehicles and chopper. And i like this new patch, yeah, the aas are more accurat, but its just to loop around and take out with a guided, and if they WOULD hit, two AAs wont take down one chopper, isnt that great? then you have another chance to take out the AA, in the previous patch two AAs would take down a chopper. The only minus is that the range is shortened, but easily adapted

This patch may have made it harder for noobs who thought they were good at flying, but for skilled pilots, you cant complain.

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

:) I thank Dice for finally making it so we can actually shoot down a copter with the AA guns. The total unfair air domination by copters is finally over.
The pilots are now crying like babbies without their bottle. :cussing: Waaaa, waaaa

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

I dont think so......this was my score yesterday in a attack Heli.



Just because they made the AA better dosnt mean your gonna get spanked everytime. Besides me and my pilot i think many of the other great Helo gunner/pilots combo's can avoid being shot down by AA. 7 of those 11 kills came from Tanks hitting us while capping flags. 1 AA kill and 3 Tree's we hit..lol.

Remember that the other team looses points when players die. So; if they die more, they loose points faster.

Yeah, but how hard is it to frag on sharqi with the mecheli?

but, what if there is just one decent jet pilot on a map w/ choppers. they can chew you up and spit you out in a second of using the chaing guns. and that is not really fair, but it is what EA/Dice wanted... i guess.
if they fitted the choppers with aa missiles like in real life (oh God forgive me for using the "real life" term), the jets would have to worry about the choppers as well. my two cents worth.

Re: 1.2 Death of Attack Helis

The reports of the attack helicopters demise were greatly exaggerated. Good chopper pilots still get a lot of kills and few deaths.
