helicopter missles problem

[munky99999]

I cant say or not if its a bug or hack.

But its definately not lag or else the helicopter would be acting wierd also.

But the problem being.

I was in a helicopter. shot missles at the humvee which had a driver and gunner. all of them hit. as in the yellow hit X showed. and i clearly saw them hit. The 3rd 4th missle that hit killed the gunner. but the driver kept going with no damage to his humvee at all, even though 6 missles hit him.

Now thats F'ed up.

I claim shenanigans.

Re: helicopter missles problem

how does anything survive 1 missle? They take out a tank with 1 shot, but a Humvee took 6?

not the gunner one. the smaller missles where u get 8 missles to shoot.

hell itd probably take me 6 gunner missles to hit the moving humvee to begin with,

which is sad for me. while i can hit any helicopter, and the occasional plane. i can hit any nonmoving thing. but a fast moving car is crazy hard.

ah. Well, they are hard to aim sometimes.

What confused me was the weapons the pilot has are ROCKETS not MISSLES.

Its a bug, rockets "missing" what they struck.
Saw it AGAIN today while messing around with a friend in an empty server: a rocket hits his chopper, I see the black smoke puff and explosion, yet he reports no damage done.
Same thing in reverse, he's sure he hit me, saw the explosion and all, but I took no damage even though my helo shook like something hit it.

Much worse than this though, when we try flying in the same chopper and I'm gunner, I rarely get boxes/Xed boxes over enemy/friendly vehicles in TV mode, so I can't shoot anything for fear of a TK.

This means having to get close enough to read tags, by which time they start shooting at us... and we wind up getting killed more often than not

Basically, choppers are off limits to me thanks to these "patches" :cry:

Actually, missiles and rockets are basically the same thing. The only difference in this case would be the guidence system.

Which is exactly why they aren't the same thing: guidance after launch.

The gunner can TV Guide his "missles" while the pilot may only launch his "rockets".
