UAV visible and vulnerable

[Gamera]

Presuming now the UAV is visible and vulnerable to damage, do the UAVs of the non-US forces look the same as the US MQ-1 Predator?

Or, do the non-US forces have different (non-US) UAVs?

its the same UAV in all armies in game, they are using the Predator MQ-1

On the subject of the UAV, I would think a spotted message for it would be nice. Currently, you can see the thing, but have no way of telling you're team about it. If you could communicate this, then pilots could easily go and shoot it down.

Low priority addition I guess.

Sigh. Lazy programmers.

That'd be good. I've lost count of the amount of times I've flewn into a UAV and either been destroyed or taken serious damage.

Re: UAV visible and vulnerable

if im on the ground I just look up and see if its there. At least this way you have a way of knowing if the opposing team is watching your every move if your in the process of taking a flag.

Good point... I guess if they are going to screw up the programming of the UAV by making it fly so low as to be seen and engaged with small arms fire... might as well make something that will allowyou to ID it to the rest of your team.

i can just hear it now... "Enemy UAV Spotted!" "Hostile unmanned arial"

I love the fact that the txt tag shows up miles before you can ever see it through the fog or trees or what have you.

It should not have any tag on it at all - hence the being sneaky aspect.

It's still hard as hell to shoot down. The only times I've managed to shoot down the UAV is when I'm in a jet and using my machine guns.

Re: UAV visible and vulnerable

You can do it with mobile AA as well, but you are right, it takes a ludicrous amount of hits to shoot it down and the missles are worthless (guns only)...something about it makes me want to say its actually harder to bring an UAV down than a chopper (only damage-wise, ignoring fact UAV doesn't shoot back)...

Re: UAV visible and vulnerable

They can be taken out easily with jeeps/boats. I have even shot them down with just infantry assault weapons - you just need to hit them.

Cool screen shots of the UAV in flight.
It would be nice if the red tag showed on the enemy UAV when you look at it. Or does it already?

It does already, when looking at the enemy UAV , you see UAV in RED , looking at team UAV you see UAV in blue, look at the second screenshot in the middle of the UAV
