Helicopter gameplay is near damn impossible
Hi. It's really getting out of hand. It's too spammy. Best i've had 4 TV dodge at once but eventually i loose to them cause i has nowhere to go, i can't counter cause person(s) that use, is hidden. ...
Forum Discussion
I've laugh soo much reading the OP complaining here...
I could not resist saying a word.
Soo Man_ILoveFishing you pretend to be a good pilot? I don't know, i doubt it but who cares, you describe yourself as a terrible battlefield player.
What's soo hilarious in your text? Let's check all of this.
First everybody knows in gaming world that "only pilots in BF" are not good pilots....
Why will you ask? Because it's easier to farm infantry focused on ground objectives, while most oponents don't have any tool to defend or retaliate....
For example playing air superirity would make other players able to play with you... But we all know you're not looking for this as you talk about infantry timer on spawn...
BF franchise has some good pilots, but the franchise is well known for attrack bad pilots. The good ones go in other games. Battlefield is farm simulator for "only pilots".
Good pilots seek fighting, not fishing in a barrel with grenades....
Battlefield 2042 offer the minimum for a pilot, it's barely fun... BUT ! You can farm infantry and get big ratio far more easilly than with anything else in the game. If you like piloting BF2042 is one of the worst game available... No you look to have an advantage ingame that's it. At least don't lie to yourself.
You don't agree and pretend to be good? Show me any stronger asset in the game... oups you failed... You use ONLY the strongest part of the game... that's it.
Before you bring the second hilarious joke of "bad only pilots".... Battlefield is about vehicules go play COD if you don't like them....
I'll answer it. BF is FPS game, meaning infantry with vehicules support. Not the oposite. It's designed to play mostly infantry and sometimes vehicules but low players prefer to play only vehicules because it help them a lot.
Why this thread is halarious?
1 - Because you can play as you want, but you're facing a limitation for noobs and complain about it... Yea you have to wait in spawn, but only because you're bad and can't play normally...
You don't want 2 minutes waiting in spawn? Play it as intended and don't try to turn it in easy farm simulator.
2- Your first sentence... "it's too spammy".... THIS was hilarious from someone who spam rockets on the ground with infinite ammo....
In conclusion you want all advantages, using strongest assets for yourself without any penalties....
And you claim to be "good" while complaining here ?
You can play as you want, but while doing this you penalise your team because they have one less player when you lose minutes in spawn menu. And then you prevent others from accessing the vehicules because you monopolise them. And for bad result (you're complaining aboutt missiles spam and spawn timers) you lose those vehicules fast.
In a few lines you've just shown that you're not a good pilot, you're a bad Battlefield player and most important an awfull teammate ruining team's chances with bad behaviour.
You should consider playing the game as intended and not twist it to hard to your advantage or go play another game.
Thanks for the laugh dude.
@l_Grand_Vizir_l Man,
I described dodging and spammy. You are right, TV has technical problems. In my screen missile seems to go past (misses) me. But again i hear players saying missile goes trough, sync problems.
-I compared infantry and vehicle spawn timers.
-There are too many of them flying and constantly. When it comes to dodging, i loose my speed and maneuverability after dodging some. And with speed, i can't really get away and i'm fine with that part. Only choice is to use objects but TV can do tight turns. It's just too many on the field.
Maybe Liz rocket shouldn't do that tight curve. Or another option is to bring damage down to -95.
And now against your insults.
THESE are your words and assumes.
Small history lesson for you, i mostly bolt action and pilot trough various battlefields, plane or helo, doesn't matter. I know what i am. :D And i love dogfighting, sadly in 2042 its pretty impossible.
I played air superiority and was good practice.
Air is cleared, so i go for ground, i know my priorities.
I play portal in my own hosted empty server for flight practice without any AI.
Awful teammate? I don't know what emotional math you used when you analyzed my thread.
Try manners before you start assuming and butchering with offends.
How many infantry AA players should it take to neutralize a heli pilot?
Let me put in another perspective. Right now it feels i'm playing against 5 attack choppers from bf3, difference is, i don't see them.

Several. I’m tempted to say 10 because the respawn cooldown of a helicopter is about 10x longer than infantry. I’d settle for 4-5. Currently it takes one Rao to prevent you from playing the game. It takes one BS Lis rocket that doesn’t even touch you to take you out.
@AngrySquid270 Playing as Raoh, I'm guaranteed to hit a helicopter with one stinger. Playing as Foxes, hitting 50/50. But lately, flying in a helicopter, every time I die, not in a fair fight with the co-pilot, but from the nasty Fox TV rocket.
It is necessary to make the G-84 rocket constant acceleration after launch, which would not be so easy to hit the target. Accordingly, the resulting hit will be well deserved.
- @AngrySquid270 Effectively ? 3
Soflam-Rao-Stinger/m5 just doesnt cut it as Long as Flares behave like an ECM Jammer on steroids becouse that’s what this countermeasure actually is.
As soon as the aircraft leaves the vicinity of his flares he should be immediately be targetable again, not being immune for a period of time, enough to fly out of bounds and hide until flares are ready.
In my opinion there should be 2 Countermeassures for Aircraft
ECM to prevent lock-on for a period of time but DOES NOT distract missiles allready inflight.
Flares to counter Missiles allready inflight and fools IR designation as Long as Flares are observable which means a Stinger user may not lock on twice from the same angle but another one can from a different angle.
So you have a pro-active and active countermeasure with its strenght and weaknesses like every other vehicle and theyr countermeassures.@Bolvard Playing as Raoh almost always manages to hack a helicopter and launch a stinger at it with a hit. Provided that I manage to hack it and launch the stinger at SOFLAM, then the helicopter will definitely be destroyed no matter how it evades. This rarely happens, but it's still possible. And practically no one puts a countermeasure of REB because of its long recharge. In any case, there are Foxes with their G-84s, which gives a random chance for destruction.
- @Man_iLoveFishing Imo air superiority is the best place to fly and have fun plus it's fair. Don't have to worry about anything but other air vehicles and practice dogfighting of sorts
All i know is 1/2 the time I spawn in on a helicopter, it gets blown apart within 2 seconds (would be nice to know the state of the helicopter BEFORE I spawn in...), and the other 1/2 of the time i get stuck with the pilot who just flies around the outside edge of the map (really? what is your purpose NOT engaging the enemy? starts to feel like nascar.. ) or they insist on flying low and then getting in dogfights and wondering why we keep getting killed (From ABOVE, dummy! climb! climb! climb!).
