BF2S Forums Let's talk helis

I read through this thread yesterday and took the advice of trying to find an empty server which dosent require minimum number of players to start up.  I couldnt find one though and refuse to take a chopper in the game to practice as it disadvantages my team.

Any help here in finding an empty server much appriciated.

I'm getting really pissed off at jets. They keep ramming my chopper. My friend and I basically dominate until the enemy team starts being douches.

Being douches ie. playing the game to win.

We basically hover around and engage whatever gets spotted from the outskirts of the maps. By facing toward the center we can get locked onto, deploy flares when a missile comes, then follow the smoke trail to kill the MANPAD. It works flawlessly nearly 99% of the time. By combining ECM jammer (mainly just because of SOFLAM and CITV) with IR flares and timing their uses we can dominate every single game.

Helicopters might not have TV missiles of death from BF2 but they're extremely deadly in this game. We can shut down a whole team with just two people, so if anything the choppers are OP.

I go 30-0 in the heli all the time, mostly with jord. It's just a matter of being any good

Also lol at the TV missile rage, BF2's TVs were legendary for how they couldn't hit shit / people had to practice for hours to hit other helis ever

this ^

and I was getting kills (choppers too) with the TV missile before they patched it to actually hit where it should

altho I must admit:

1: javelinrage
2: fix the input-lag for the TV-missile (funny how they made it hit where and when it actually should, but made it awful to steer)
3: fix TV-missile hitting your own chopper when fired ....as they said did in the last patch

a friend of mine has problem where the tv missile guides normally and then after 5 seconds the controls are inverted.

I dunno about that , but I fly helis inverted and my TV-missiles always steer "un-inverted"

i know same for me and him, but when he fires the tv missile it all gets fucked up.

land the havoc on one of the warehouses by the heli spawn on nosharh
shoot tv missles at the carrier
profit

BF3 has far better air balance than BF2.  In BF2 AA was a complete joke and being in air mean't tonnes of lazy kills.  Now you can still rack up a shitload of kills, but you do have to work for it somewhat.

And why does stationery AA only have zoom optics?  It should have missiles as well, or make AA perks apply to it as well.

1:it is unbalanced...just in the wrong direction...
2: AA is the most OP vehicle in bf3
3: t shouldnt be balanced , bf2 had the unbalance that bf3 should have

Can you honestly say that the IMbalance of AA vs Air SHOULD have been restored in BF3? Really?!?

Perhaps you'd want a return of the J10, too?

j10 are and always were gay , and a solution for people who couldnt fly otherwise, air vehicles have always been superior (BC2 ,bf3) and should be...it's sad all the (german) noobs made cried enough to get their will through

Erm no. Why should someone who sits in an indestructable static AA with no risk to himself get AA missles too? No thanks, the cretins that inhabit static AA can fuck off.

cretin

mortars are fun.

I love you jord
