Flagpoles have never been the helicopters best friend..

The art of choppering requires a skill in not bumping into stuff.

I need around tree fiddy.

LOL.............. I know a flag pole is hard......... LOL and not meant to be used as a air bag....and yes I did hit it very fast. BUT ...BUT...I did a test on a sigle player map to check if this really the case and flew the chop gently into a flag pole and it took half damage , another bump and I was "beeping " like a buzard ...so in my opinion they have screwed with the armour..

Yes, they have screwed with the heli's but I thought it was to increase the armour on the transport helis.

thank god they havent lowered the damage on the attack chopper guns, the hind gun is just ridiculously weak. Its like the mini gun, but with splash damage.

You actually still use the gunner seat in the hind? I dont even use the hind period. Longbow is the greatest chopper alive

I guess he is right, i made the same experience yesterday, but ill try that out once again today to get sure about that. It seems that attack helicopters simply get a bit more damage when touching something since 1.4 patch.

Sure, flogpales are not a choppers best friend, neither are trees, towers, whatever.

sure you have to keep away from solid object, thats not the point. the discussion is about how much damage you take when touching an object, before and after the patch - thats all!

Yeah, it's overdone. You lose like half health for just scraping a building or something, even slowly.

Well it was the US chopper flown from the aircraft carrier on Dragon Valley..to the flag on the top of that high hill................

I am used to getting a few bumps when flying , but when you touch anything the damage is disprportionate..

It is made of metal not paper mashee
