It would be nice if we could get some changes made on the helos to resemble this type of action. The target is directly below and it's taken out by a TV missile.
The current distance is not all that useful. Those missiles should be restored to their original state. Maybe make some changes to the HUD to show how far away your target is? Like laser range finders...

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

I just want range increased....its incredibly annoying to see a chopper on your map a long ways off and shoot a TV and have it explode 2 feet from the chopper due to lack of range and so stealing 6 kills from you...

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

how about no?

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

Yeah, why the hell did they nerf the range? I never had any problems with the range before. Kind of stupid really.

yeah the decreased range ****ed me off but it wasnt really hard to adapt, actually

How about providing some feedback about your position, instead of trying to boost your post count with the " Uhh, no" response? We aren't asking you to fly them.
-The range of the laser missiles on the bombers is the same, why not the choppers too?
-It makes no sense:
*the armor on the helos is down
*the overall missile number has been tweaked
*the AA has been tweaked.

At least give us increased range, set it back to where it was! BTW, I can hit a target with AA 90% of the time, even after the 1.21 patch. I would say it is just right now, but it still takes skill and some patience/practice.

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

I usually just use the flags on the map to judge the distance, so I dont think that we need laser range finders. But I do think they need to put the distance back to how it was originaly.

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

The initial point of having those weapons in the first place was to be able to hit a heavily armored target from long distances in order to keep the helicopter in tact. I'm no chopper whore, but when I do get lucky enough to gun for a pilot, it sucks that the missiles cannot even do what they are supposed to.

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

The way i think all the artillery should be, is to be made into airstrike, 2 friendly jets arrise from base and launch a line of fire , more effective then that damn artilerry, doesnt even hit the freaking target.

one more stuped thing about artillery, when u launch it on maybe lets say tanks or 2 tankets. usually none of them get hit, or maybe if they do get hit its on their sides, when u look their live and running well ?? wtf, thing like that should f*** the tanks up.

Another dumb thing, Believe u are an Anti-Tank, you get ur rocket out, launch it into a heli, and it barely does any damage. take a real rocket launch it into a chopper, lets see what will that rocket do to that helo.

The game in overall is very interesting and skill taking, but it isnt as realistic as i exspected to be.

Yeah bf2 is about 60% arcade 40% realism.

Re: Attack Chopper / TV Missiles

The range was decreased to stop people from exploiting the TV missiles by shooting them beyond the fog. I've seen lots of people before 1.2 that would sit just outside of the fog and hit the carrier on various maps with impunity. It's really frustrating hearing just BOOM and not knowing wtf it came from. I'm glad it was nerfed, no matter how much skill was involved in doing it.

But whats the problem with that if it took skill (which it did).

I mean....its not like you don't have a friendly chopper that can shoot it down...and on maps with jets...I shouldn't even have to say it...

EDIT:Let me clarify that you could actually hit people from quite a distance outside of the fog with a TV missile, not just to the point where enemies are barely visible.

Base raping with jets took skill and look what DICE did to it now... If you can't see someone in the fog then you should not be able to hit them, that's the way the game was meant to be, that's why the fog is there. Anything that lets you get past this limitation is an exploit plain and simple.

Dude, that is the FUNCTION of those missiles. Of course you will have some people abusing it regularly, but why make the entire community pay for what only a few are doing? The fog is there because if you have ever seen the pics of the middle east or heavily wooded areas in summer you would notice fog and smoke is everywhere. Ultimately the reason for the fog in game is because to be able to see beyond the fog would ave required an even greater amount of resources to be used. The processor would have to render EVERYTHING from one side of the map to the other. The servers would not be able to support 32 players much less 64. Use your noggin dude, there are technical limitations that are impossible to overcome given the lack of technology offered to comsumers and if everyone had to buy a GOD machine to play, the community would not be what it is today. Enough people have problems with the game as it is.
