@StormtrooperDanI consider myself to be an above average pilot, and I can say that the 30mm cannons on the Stealth Helis are not broken. You need to actually aim at your target to deal damage. The 30mm cannons on the bolt pre-nerf had splash damage galore, the 30 mm cannons of the stealth helis do not have that ridiculous splash damage albeit they still deal an acceptable amount of splash damage.
The 50.cal guns shred infantry but you need to be accurate. That's the trade off, quick killings versus area denial.
I will say though it needs to overheat faster, just like almost every cannon, specialist explosives and miniguns in the game.
The Stealth Chopper 30mm cannons outperforms any other helicopter weapon at killing infantry (besides the 50mm that's already going to be nerfed). Better than any Nightbird weapon: minigun, 20mm cannon or the Anti-Personal Rocket Packs. Way better than 30mm cannon of the Attack Helicopter, which has always been mediocre.
30mm cannon does not require any careful aim at all vs the minigun.
- UP_Hawxxeye3 years agoLegend@StormtrooperDan it does have the tradeoff that it is worse for other helicopters.
