Yea that would really help out the USMC on Wake.BattlefieldMedic wrote:
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.ChibiAlpha wrote:
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 think it would also help the USMC attack on Wake Island.

- Black Hawk Mini-Gun - Un-Nerf?

Shit, i pput no by accident :S
I say just make them more accurate and keep the non-explosiveness...
i reckon the nerfing of the bh is one of the worst nerfs the have done so far. just one example among countless others where they fucked wtih something they should have left alone, while leaving alone the things they really need to change.
fuck heads.

They were pretty overpowered before. Now they are underpowered. So typical of DICE to overcompensate.
I like how I can make the enemy dance though by spraying bullets around his feet (just like the old westerns) and don't worry, no enemy is ever harmed by this. It just scares them a bit and makes them curl their toes up in thier boots. Then they look up at the Blackhawk and say, "Man that guy is an awesome shot! He shot all around me and made me dance but not one bullet even touched me".

they did this to match the other transport helos of other armies. their transport helo guns suck too.
if you want BH mini gun to be good, you have to make the others good too.

i'm all for it! we should fear the choppers - especially since the aa has been made so much more effective, giving us the chance to bring them down, which was the only thing lacking pre-nerfing.
True, it's not like they're hard to bring down with AT rockets either...
I stood in the open on Mashtuur watching a BH fly by, the gunner trying desperately to shoot me... i didn't move and still wasn't hit even once. It's crazy.

It's an over whelming YES vote, as we all expected.
Makes you wonder why they nerfed it in the first place!!!!
But what do i know.

ONLY is the other transport choppers are beefed up aswell
The black hawk as it is is a Jet Pilot's wet dream.

They can't upgrade the other choppers (even if they put the miniguns on par with the real world counterparts). The blackhawk is supposed to be tougher that the other transport choppers.
Flying a blackhawk (or any chopper at that) lately has been like taking one for the team. You can shuttle team mates all you want from ship to shore or location to location, you get no points cause they can't kill shyte with the guns and i am yet to get a point for safely transporting a team mate to somewhere. On top of that you're like points in a huge flying box for the jet pilots.

That pilot was invincible to sraws isnt itLockerFish wrote:
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.
Today I was about 20 meters away from 5 guys...they all stopped jumping around and stood then and shot me while I'm shooting them from a moving Blackhawk. I killed none of them, yet they shot 2 Eryx rockets and several of them reloaded their clips before we were dead.
Pretty sad.
Pretty sad.
Their balancing is shit. Instead of nerfing the blackhawk so much they should have beefed up the damn Mec chopper. Also blackhawks are pretty easy to take down know. I remember right after the patch when people still used the blackhawks regullary in Mashtuur me and my friend would go AT and camp in the gas station a bit far off. When a full half dead blackhawk returns boom 5 kills.
YES, and I don't care if they don't fix the other chopper. I used to LOVE stealing the blackhawk...it was such a rush.
they should bring it back,... they already nerfed the blackhawk enough after 1.03, why nerf it again?
how can u use it properly? i was shooting 1 single guy untill i overheated and he just kept running at me, then he shot me with pistol... wtf is up with that? its a peewee gun... i voted yes, dont make it like it was before, but attleast littlebit so bh can defent it self... now after they lowered the armor etc.. but hey thats just meLockerFish wrote:

it would compensate for the F35B aka flying coffin
Amen to Medic for the Wake comment, and ValentijnR for the F35B comment.
The reason I like BF2 and games like it are because they're realistic, but that can only go so far at the expense of good old fashioned FUN.
In the real world, a BH gun would cut right through the wooden box you were trying to hide behind and shred you to pieces. Even if it didn't hit you, you would at least hide like a scared little bitch and probably need to change your GI issue pants in the process.
And that's kind of my point. You wouldn't run up to the gunner of a BH with your pistol hanging out.
Maybe splash damage isn't the way to go, but the designers should still find a way to punish the morons who don't find cover when they're being shot at with a Vulcan Gatling gun!!!
