Soflam + javelin is fúcking retarded. Why put something in the game with zero counterplay??

Choppers can see the Soflam and tanks can reverse really fast.

Seifer · 15-01-2012 6:45pm

You'd be doing very well to see the soflam as you take off from the carrier in Noshahr Canals rush cause you've only got about 5 seconds before your dead.

It's insane. The counter to air from the ground is the anti-air launcher not the anti-ground launcher that one shots littlebirds. They really ****ed up their rock paper scissors dynamic with it.

IR smoke interrupts the SOFLAM tracking. If it's already locked on pop smoke and move your arse since the incoming missile will just fall at your last known location.

Use ECM.

If you waste your flares breaking every track signal then you'll just get shot down by standard anti-air. And there is no way to tell a javelin missile is in the air.

I don't think you guys get the point of a bitching and moaning thread.

Did I say flares? IR smoke on tanks.

What relevance does the soflam have to land vehicles besides a slight damage boost? The javelin can lock onto them anyway.

5uspect · 15-01-2012 10:17pm

It increases the range also.

Cool story. Well I'm bitching and moaning about the soflam + javelin being able to one shot a little-bird with zero counterplay. I'm not looking for a solution because there is none. Bring on the next patch where they hopefully fix this cheese way of taking out aircraft.

DOC09UNAM · 15-01-2012 10:22pm

Aircraft is overpowered anyway

also makes lockon quicker, and they dont have to be in direct line of sight, they could be behind a building your looking at

Is it just me or has everyone taken to base raping on PS3 lately? The last twenty times I've gotten a seat in an attack helicopter, I've been allowed to take off with 100% health exactly once. And that was only because the other team's chopper was busy ****ing up our jets on the runway. :mad:

This. I want either invulnerability on the runway, or ricochet damage to apply to shots fired to air support on take-off.

Before I started flying jets I thought they were useless, because I only ever saw them being used for spawnkilling.

Now I know they're seriously OP for taking out tanks I'm doubly annoyed that idiots only want to spawnkill and not play the objective.

On another note, has anyone any tips on using flares in choppers? When I fire heatseekers at other choppers, they pop flares and fly off no problem. When I pop flares, there's the audio indicator that they've fired off and then bang!, I'm hurtling towards the ground in a heap of burning metal.

I'm waiting for the rapid beeping that warns you the missiles are airborne but it has no effect whatsoever.

You're doing it right. The game just hates you. Personally, I'm convinced without evidence that it's caused by Americans playing on European servers. I fully believe that my flares (and my turning circle) are affected by my gunner's lag. Why else would their effectiveness take a half second to kick in?

And while I'm bitching - Havoc needs to be the same as the Viper, it's stupid that Russian choppers are inferior by design, and the Frogfoot cannon needs a nerf. I can kill a tank in one attack run in that thing with rocket pods & main gun. It should require two passes at least.

not disagreeing in any way, but im interested to know how the russian choppers are inferior?

russian chopper is a pig to maneuver

Exactly. Viper is quick and nimble, Havoc is bulky and barge like

Maximus Alexander · 16-01-2012 12:34pm

I might be wrong on this, but despite being a dog to maneuver, the Havoc doesn't appear to have been given any advantages over the Viper. Better weapons / armour etc. Maybe it is a bit tougher but I haven't noticed.

I think, so don't quote me on this, the weapons are slightly better. Splash damage wise anyway. It does however take longer to fire a full payload in comparison to the Viper.

The gunner in the Viper has a greater range of view as well. Can almost turn right around whereas the Havoc, the gunners range is limited.

Kingpin187 · 16-01-2012 5:04pm

I read somewhere that the Russian chopper has a 6% armour advantage.. dont know how true it is but since you guys were talking about it anyway

Maximus Alexander · 16-01-2012 5:07pm

If true, that's a fairly rubbish trade. I'll take agility all day long.

SeantheMan · 16-01-2012 6:34pm

In BF2 it was given the best weapon in the game to compensate for its lack of mobility.

Jonny7 · 16-01-2012 9:15pm

With laser pointer and guided missile unlocked the littlebird can turn into a very lean mean chopper killing... thing..

AwayWithFaries · 18-01-2012 1:10pm

Spawned in a helicopter at the start of Firestorm last night. Pilot takes off, flies a little bit then dives straight at the ground killing me. Twat.

I find it worse again when you get the gunner spot, and the pilot won't take off because he wants someone else there. I was there first :mad:

MR DAZ · 18-01-2012 4:17pm

Thats when you play the waiting game

get up turn on kettle
reach for finest jar of Nescafe Alta Rica
Boil Kettle and make coffee
Then sitdown and you should now be midair enjoying flight 101

Zomg Okay · 18-01-2012 11:02pm

So just got the Gunslinger trophy on PS3. I don't know how they justified making it a Bronze Trophy; you have to beat all the Assignments and then get 10 kills with each unlocked weapon. Not an overly difficult task but certainly it takes long enough to justify a Silver Trophy.

It's also glitched so that when you've gotten all the kills, you need to go off and get an additional 10 FAMAS kills in one match to seal the deal.

dreamers75 · 18-01-2012 11:06pm

Cloud bollix is a load of ****e, got my main pc back and all my settings gone.

had to rekit everything, and now i dont get the cloud thing at all

For the TIggers D22 should be online in a few days, found out what he did and how he TK`d my pc :mad:

Randy Shafter · 18-01-2012 11:42pm

Half rant and half question: Damn the flares on aircraft I'm trying to shot down! And on the flare topic, do aircraft have an unlimited amount of flares or what? Other night I was trying to bring down a plane and each time I locked on and fired the flares would come out!

Yup infinite amount but about 5 seconds between reload.

If your taking out a plane get another lad beside you and coordinate your firing, one fires for flares other for the plane.

if in the AA you dont need the heatseekers.
