BF2S Forums Whats with the gunships?

Life is life. You aren't alone. I have complained about the Doragon missiles not working since the game was released. Still no fix. And the shield doesn't work very well anymore. Oh wait it never worked...

Its as if the missiles are utterly imbalanced. In a talon, regardless of where i shoot them, as long as it tracks it immediately hits the doragon.  But reverse the positions, regardless of where it is shot, the missiles circle around the talon and then fly off.  Im lucky if half of them hit, and even then they only do half damage.

Also, for some reason the doragon shield only stops half the missiles if i am lucky, the talon stops them all.

Just let me gun for you I can tv them.

No u i can tv them.

But i think the problem with the missiles is because of the talon.  I have stolen the talon on tampa and it is the same story against another talon.

I never have a problem, but maybe because my goal in BF2/2142 is to be God at jets/gunships, so I train realy hard with friends.

The result, clear skies, clear streets, clear silos.


Edit:

But I'm still not as good as I'd want to be.

your hopes of being really good may be spoiled by hackers trying to shoot you down. just a warning.

Is that you? http://2142-stats.de/Bradt3hleader+stats.html

805 Gunship kills in 28.5 hrs? Yep, that's impressive!

Meh, the real gunship god is Deathdealer. Top 5 with a 40+:1 KD.  Me and another experienced pilot were double teaming him in talons; using a doragon he kicked our ass.

Speaking of gunship whores.... ever play on [BM] Blackwater Mercenaries 2142 server?

#3 w8liftn runs the server as a tight ship.  That is to say he MUST be the one flying the gunship.  If you dare try to co-pilot/gun, you get the instant spam "Out" "Out" "Get Out" "Out"!  Other tricks he employs include:

1) Kicking/banning SAAW-equipped engineers that hide and try to pester him during his gunship whoring campaigns.  Of course, not before spamming the console with "SAAW = PUSSIES" and "SAAW = COWARD".
2) Starting off on the opposite team to get a Talon, flying it back to 'enemy' territory, and committing suicide.  Then, he switches teams and recovers the 'hidden' Talon for himself.  Even w8liftn knows the powerful whoring capacity of the Talon.
3) If you happen to be on an opposite team in a Talon, Mr. w8liftn will chase you in a gunship or transport relentlessly.  If he fails to shoot you down, he'll engage you so close that you two will eventually collide.  Then he opens up his console and !bans you for "Being a F-ing Noob Rammer" or some such similar epithet.

Let me tell you, it's like playing with a driedel in Nazi Germany.  You want to have fun, but you know that at any moment, your fun can be snatched away by Der Fuhrer.

That being said, the [BM] server is especially fun to play on for the sole purpose of being passive aggressive.  I love carrying the SAAW and locking on just long enough to be a pest.  I love tossing EMPs at his low flying Talon.  I love doing all the little things that make a great team player and a tough adversary.  Up to, but not including, killing him; that which I'm sure is an:

!kick Geo for being an Asshat!

Id prefer it if we kept that little douchebag out of discussion.  I made sure to permaban myself from that shithole by podsurf ramming the nazi until B&.

practice makes perfect... You just need to know the goods and the bads of both gunships.

k...

Talon:

pros-faster, more maneuverable, missiles always track, better gunner cannon, shields always works, enemy missiles dont track half the time, small missile impact zone
cons-slightly unstable; but even n00bs can handle it and make it factorless in the performance.

Doragon:

pros-gunner cannon does not need to wind up.
cons-every opposite to the talons pros.

By these standards, whore the talon and dont even bother with the doragon.

One thing to look out for the shield on either gunship does not protect the tail.
