Every time I try to replay this game, I am instantly reminded why I do not. The balancing for the aircraft is horrid. In older bf games, you could actually score a hit or potentially shoot one down. In this game? You had might as well shove that stinger somewhere else. I want to enjoy this game, but its almost impossible.
Oh don't surrender, you just have to be creative, doing it alone tho its very difficult, i recomend you getting at least one buddy,
the most basic (and easiest way to avoid), is using the stinger, its too easy to avoid if you as a pilot have the terrain in your advantage like a building or sand dunes can really be handy on an experienced pilot.
if you start shooting a pilot with a stinger on an open space, you will be targeted almost inmediatly since they have in game tools that can use to tell them the direction where the lock on is happening, after that, the pilot will pop his flares and run away from the danger to recharge the flares, that is where your buddy enters,
This will only work the first time, most heli tryhards adapt their routes, but constantly harrasing helis with that tactic will make their impact on the match be less noticable
lemme know if you want me to tell you more tactics for taking down helis
