Should vbf2 missiles go to SF splash dmg?

[Alcorr]

Ok, well heres my idea:

Since the chopper missile count has been reduced to 8, I was wondering if it would really effect balance all that much to move the vanilla bf2 chopper missile splash radius to the same level as the SF one....

The only reason I wonder this is because I will consistenly blanket a stinger with vbf2 chopper missiles and have the guy not die while when in SF....that doesn't happen.

The stinger already has the advantage, left click twice for easy kills.....

Flame Away! :p

P.S.:I expect more No votes than yes votes...because all the ground pounders haate choppers :laugh:

Ya I really dont see an issue with that. The Havoc can be a pain in the ass with the width between the rocket pods :p.

Yeah, it really is annoying to watch all 8 of my missiles hit either side of a tank....at least its not as bad as the HIND....

lol ya, its the vodniks that really frustrate me. You find the sneakily placed vodnik and your gunner is asleep the rockets all land around the bloody thing and your dead. Oh and of course you cant spot the vehicle due to the bug where cars dont show on the map if theres no driver .

But then I am fairly crap with rockets.

I don't like this poll.
:p
I don't like any poll. Polls always return invalid statistics and should never be taken seriously by anyone. Ever.

Aside from that, I kinda like how Vbf2 choppers are very gunner intensive. Makes for a good reason to work on the 'ol teamwork thing.

It actually makes me want to join a clan, the opportunity to have a quality gunner. But then theres still a very small chance of two of ye actually getting in the heli together without doing the love out of bounds kill trick :p.

But thats the problem in SF if you get a crap gunner, no prob...you can still nail inf easy...

In reg bf2, a crap gunner = maybe 2 guys killed per 8 shots if you are really lucky...

Why? Because the radius is so small...even if you are good with the missiles...its practically a whole clip (8 shots) per guy...thats really inefficient....

Yeah, well, what are ya gonna do?

Hehe, strap on yer mic, drag your gunner into your squad and hold his hand fer awhile.

I also gotta say, while I've been pickin up noob guners, my rocket accuracy has improved alot! Still, my usual tactic is to go with area staturation rather than controlled shots.

Kinda the "nuke the site from orbit" mentality. I don't mind having an excuse to buy into it.

EXACTLY!

You see imo thats the problem, it would take more skill if the radius was larger because precise shots would be more efficient than blanketing since blanketing wouldn't be efficient...after all SF choppers have 14 missiles....reg bf2 have only 8....

Still though it doesn't take more than 2-3 missiles to kill an infantry.. and quite often it can be done with one if you hit the body. Firing 8 missiles at one or two guys is just a big waste.

I would much rather see some splash on the tv missile so it is closer to the splash of the laser guided from jets

Re: Should vbf2 missiles go to SF splash dmg?

Yeah... but yer missing my point.

I don't mind having a legit excuse to just spam the crap outta the area!
Hehe, I like de booms!

Visually, it's kinda a cool element to see all those rockets pounding in. I tend to play very supplycrate/chopper pad aware, so I don't mind going back for ammo as a part of the game's mechanic.

It's also much more staisfying when you manage those nice one rocket bingos.

We could give it a try, I mean why not, they could always just make another patch

This poll is totally one sided, you dont give a decent "no" answer.

O come on, the no reply is good enough, after all, theres no reason to say no unless you really are getting owned bad....

No, the cannons are for the infantry, the missiles for armour.
And i hate choppers anyway.
