All those "Let's talk..." threads are confusing me.
I believe "Below Radar" is a pervasive permanent upgrade unlock.
Random Heli Notes:
- Love the Viper. Love to hate the Havoc. For something that handles so poorly (Havoc), you'd think they buff the main cannon so that it's more effective against infantry. Not BF2 scary effective, but more than it is now. Remember getting Havoc raped on BF2 Sharqi when confined to the TV Station?
- Guided Rockets over Stealth. Pain to aim, but they're like a long range vehicle buster tool. Jeeps are toast, especially if its driver has loaded it up with C4 for a jihad run. Armor can be destroyed in one pass if you start to engage from far enough out. Especially effective on Wake for taking out mobile AA.
- Heli as Spawn Points. Why allow heli's as spawn points only on some maps?
- I'm a "recovering" PC gamer, but now PS3 console-based. Anyone looking for heli-fun?

ECM reloads slower than the AA missiles on heli
so how the fuck do I see pilots not die when they use it
everything reloads before they do

ECM jammer is crap I have no idea why people would use it. If your on the outskirts of a map and you get an incoming missile warning just fly toward the map and randomly adjust your altitude and you'll avoid the AA. If you're in the middle of the map just let yourself get hit and use extinguisher as you leave the area.
Extinguisher > IR > ECM

no way. as soon as a i hear a lock on, i hit the ecm, turn away, and fly below radar out of range. if my gunner has flares, even better. the usual routine for me is to launch tv missles until enemy gets sick of me... they attempt to hunt me down... i use ecm to evade, switch to gunner and drop flares if i have missles incoming, and come back around to hunt for whoever is targetting me. the ecm is sweet if you know how to use it. extinguisher is pointless if you are an engi, you can just land and repair. the people who randomly fly into the middle of the map and die deserve it. the heli strategy in bf3 is so very similar to bf2. its annoying as hell when my pilot watches me launch tv missles, then proceeds to fly right into the flags.-Sh1fty- wrote:

my loadout as pilot is ecm, aa missles, and guided rockets. my gunner loadout is flares, stealth, and the tv missle. i can kill most of the tanks at standoff ranges with the guided rockets, and the helis get tv missle love. i save the aa missles for jets, which can never lock on to me since i use the ecm jammer.

Well maybe not for helis but for planes it's way better.

Why does the havoc handle like a cow?
Yeah I was being out maneuvered by a Viper the other day and that was annoying me. I guess it makes more sense for a nimple AH1Z to be more maneuverable though.

Cobra is so nimble its so fun....
Every time I fly the Havoc slowly over a ridge, I'm scared to death that Rambo is going to pop up with his explosive arrow and take me out in a fireball of glory!
this game needs a bow with explosive arrows.GeoEnvi wrote:

yeah what we need is for this game to resemble Black Ops more!

taht was a crossbow.
Damn you SOFLAM! Some [1904] clan was using SOFLAM and Javelins on Wake Rush stopping my friend's and my total domination of the battlefield with our AH1Z and properly timed flares between us. We were going 13-0 and ~8-0 before they took that out and kept us out of the sky for the rest of the game. There needs to be a better counter. Neither of us have ECM jammer and the SOFLAM was nearly impossible to hit even with zoom optics from far away.

There was a crossbow in BF2 Special Forces.
It was only used for deploying the zip line though.
Although the arrow had a very sharp looking, bladed tip, you couldn't kill with it.
Real pity, because such silent kills would have perfectly fit the SpecOps and Sniper class in BF2.

I wish we could get rocket pods on the support helicopters
the choppers are fucking shite in this game
What makes you think that? I do amazingly in the choppers on this game.
