I personally think that they should Fix the Blackhawk Mini-gun so you can actually Kill someone with it... I'm not saying that they should put it back to the way it was before 1.2, i'm just saying.. add some more splash damage so that peoplem will actually use the guns, either then just firing randomly into the sky when ppl are in them...

It's hardly possible to hit anyone with the current Black Hawk. Splash damage would make it much easier to aim.
So yes, Black Hawk needs love!

I voted "no" too. You've got to use the properly with a good pilot who can rotate above the flag right and keep steady. I saw a squad do this on mashtuur and they were very good. It's fine.

I wouldn't say completely unnerf it, but buff it up just a bit, whether its more accurate or just a bit more damage so it's actually useful for defense.

I voted yes, but the other two choppers' guns must be powered up as well, given higher rates of fire and splash damage. I do miss the old BH times, I got my first gold medal in it.

I've got to say, the blackhawk's miniguns are:
A) MINIGUNS.
B) MINI-FREAKING-GUNS

but when we actually get into bf2, we notice that said miniguns are nerfed to the point of being a really pretty stream of tracers that can't hit ANYTHING.

I think they should widen the cone of fire for them or SOMETHING, because I'd even take the MEC Cereal box's guns over the current Blackhawk's miniguns.

Dude you can't tell me that... I've killed the gunners of Black Hawks that were hovering next to me just because it's almost impossible to kill anything with the miniguns...

I say... UN-NERF and gimme back the original ones + heli flag cap whoring

Sorry, but that wouldn't make sense as they have the same machine guns mounted on the other vehicles (T90, Vodnic, etc...)

Give the MEC and PLA choppers miniguns too. I could support increasing the firepower of the minigun except for the fact that they completely outclass the other helos, leading to teamswitching.

He is saying to make the choppers balanced. I think they should increase the splash damage on the Blackhawk and give the other 2 chopper exploding bullets like on the mec chopper. Now that would be balanced.

BTW: they arnt the same guns...

Yes, but not as much as in 1.12. And they should improve the MEC/PLA Chopper Guns.

It's schizophrenic that a Vodnik can easily kill a Black Hawk, but not vice versa and the Blackhawk got a god damn M60.

I enjoy piloting the black hawk and until they fix it or adjust the armaments, I generally transport myself.... no one wants to ride in a sitting duck? Just the pilots opinion thats all. Feel free to light a crack pipe on this flight, K?

Increase the power of the minigun to 1.03 standards. With all the other nerfs they gave it, it would be fine.

The Blackhawk in BF2 doesn't have an M60... that would be a normal machine gun weaker than what the vodnik has...

Lies, this moron was trying to take out our BH with his .50 on his Vodnik and i simply put in a load of solid fire and yes, he lost. He tried to bail but the car explosion killed him. I was surprised too of how quickly his car was shredded. The miniguns may not have splash damage but they utterly rape the ground light vehicles. I just think that they need more HP. Same with the Hip.

Maybe the Hip should have more to compensate for its crappy guns/maneuverability.

I just think that BH with splash damage isn't really needed. It's fine as it is and it really isnt much of a problem, i think that maybe the guns are too accurate and maybe some innacuracy would make things easier. However the HP on the transport choppers is way too low.

lol don't ya hate that.. you are piloting and you want to be stealthy going to an enemy base.. but since the guns suck everyone in them just fires randomly giving your position away.. lol

I vote a big YES! Now by this I don't mean like make the thing unstoppable, just to the point where it actually serves a purpose.

Dito- I have yet to hit a single target while strafing enemy ground troops. Its time those massive mini-guns on the blackhawks actually had a use.

I think it would also help the USMC attack on Wake Island.
