How do you guide TV missiles?

Re: How do you guide TV missiles?

Ah, the good old days of 1.2.

What you want to do is fire the missle and readjust as you get closer to your target with one or two clicks. It's quite simple.

Yes, the deadliest attack chopper is composed of the pilot and copilot working together.

Here's my little story revolving around TV guided missles:

My god! I found a excellent pilot on Sharqi Penisula. I've been desperately trying to search for him. Boy oh boy, we kept that Mi-28 from ever taking off and struck fear into those who even thought of getting in it. Both us kept firing Hellfires from a longe range distance and kept taking it out in midair and while it was spooling up on the heli pad.

We kept trading spots once in a while to make it fun. Our accuracy was 99% accurate. We only missed 1-2 times with the Hellfire. It was probably through the intense adrenaline and pure enjoyment that kept us focused on getting those Hellfires hit.

What's funny is that the guys we kept taking out in the Mi-28 were the admins of the server. After consistenly shooting down their Mi-28, oh lets say 11 times in a row, they finally made a statement that anyone who were attacking uncapturable flags gets banned.

Good times, good times. This was before the lame patch though.

each adjustment of the tv guided missiles is affected by your ping so higher ping = higher delay in turning the missile. u can test this by comparing single player tv missiles with online. single player is so much smoother

Re: How do you guide TV missiles?

create your own local server. dragon valley is good here.
fly any attack chopper and park it on some rooftop or water tower.
switch to gunner seat
experiment with your tv missle. click drag or anything.

I do that all the time with my clanmate, but it is kind of cheap. I mean its spawn camping. It's funny as hell when you're doing it, but when you're the guy trying to get in the air spawn camping is a real pain in the ass.

i think its decent policy to wait for the other heli to get in the air, and to avoid spawn camping....this gives the other guy a chance....and presents more of a challenge....

and if the other guy takes u guys out...chances are he would be more inclined to give you a chance as well, and not destroy your heli before it takes off

Eh, when they do that stuff to me, I just go take the tv tower and they don't even get a cobra anymore.

The real way to lockdown the mec chopper is with a 3 man squad, 2 support/1 medic. Two guys can cover every spawnpoint at the copter site and the medic can keep them alive in case of misadventure. Add 2 more guys to the squad as pilot/copilot and they can spawn on the medic and grab the copter whenever they need to.
