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
@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.
@AlkaniusRUSIn my experience by the time I have rao hacked, pulled down the stinger and locked on heli, it is out of my line of slight.
That is if the pilot has not already used the flares by reflex.
At other times the pilot gets to use the flares again by the time that the stinger is about to hit.
Meanwhile the EC-whatever-RAM vehicle that was recently introduced, has to sacrifice the quick repair function in return for the anti projectile gadget which has also has a much larger cooldown than the flares.
@UP_Hawxxeye If you hack a helicopter far, then of course you won’t be able to hit it with a stinger, it will have time to leave. Yes, it is possible that the pilot resets the traps before hacking, but they managed to drive him away. Most pilots are greedy and don't drop traps in the hope of getting away.
@AlkaniusRUSWell the pilots that we tend to remember are those that manage to be a huge pain even if they are briefly present near us.
This is why I said in a previous post that the problem are the outliers.

Hey everyone lets keep the conversations civilized and respect each other opinions. You don't need to agree with everyone but you can agree to disagree.
/AticI wished to leave this non-debate but as i received some kind words i have to explain i guess...
Concerning stats:
If i've disabled stats ingame it was first because i tried to make the game doing the less tasks to optimise my framerate on my old 6 years PC... And it fall well here to avoid a sterile and absurd discussion.
Try to be honest, how would you like to compare stats here ????
You can't if you're fair.
Because the stats depend of WHAT mode you play and how you play. Let's give a simple example: Someone who would play Sniper / Breakthrough attacking only. All enemies are in the same way, nobody come in your back or flanks... take your time to aim... Easy mode. Then compare those stats with someone who plays Crossbow only / Conquest large.
Do youy really think you should compare their acuracy and kill ratio ?
Of course there are many numbers in stats and watching ALL numbers could give a partial indication.
BUT... In every BF forum since ages, it turn to a sadidistic game... Where the sad kids seek for a number out of the others to claim "you're bad you can't give your opinion" forcing the one accused to... watch other one stats, find one number and.... useless endless catfight... Nonsence, reading arguments and quality of speech is far more precious to know who you are talking with.
I say 2 things:
- First stats in BF2042 means nothing, for the reasons i've explain AND because of PORTAL. I barely play on PORTAL because (go look by yourself) most of the servers you'll find are "boost servers". Unless you're unaware of what can be done in this game, you can't trust any stats now.
- If you have nothing to say on my arguments except "i don't see your stats soo I assume that you are bad and denny you the right to talk". Well it just shows that you have no argument by yourself, and maybe you're not defending a right cause... I didn't go to look after stats of players claiming "to be good" here, but you should ask yourself if it's not more a difference in modesty than in player quality between us.
Concerning the subject here, Helicopters.
Sorry if you took it bad, but what a laugh reading here. "I'm a good pilot" meaning if you don't follow me you're bad, my opinion is necessarily good and I don't need to argue...
And folowed by "annoyance and penalty for me is to wait and stare screen to get another helo. It can go from 2mins to half game, is it really worth it?"... Thais one pushed me to answer...
Don't you see any contradiction in this speech?
I'm sorry but this speech is for me, far more than stats, a demonstration on a player who thinks he has a high level when he doesn't
AND, as usual a small part of BF comunity has self twisted their mind...I mean guys playing only a very small part of the game, and not the hard one.
Remember my previous exemple with the sniper playing only Breakthrough attacking side? That's the same mentality as playing Helicopteres only...
Let's summarize the advantages of playing a helicopter ingame:- It goes faster than any other player, except jets. As you'll only see one or two jets on games (most of the time none because they are crap in BF2042). But it has far more manoeuvrability than jets. For movements, you're on top of what you could hope on the battlefield and only a few players can compete against you.- It has more fire power than most other players, yes you could say a tanks have more. But think about the firepower AND the ability to go in firing position, hélis have both. Once again if you take the hélicopter, you're on the top of what's available on the server compare to what other players can do.- It has armor. Of course far less than other vehicules, but c'mon, it already has all advantages, and still has the advantage or armor, because most players on the server just can't do damage to it (please don't tell me about anti armor ammo nobody use them).Turn it in every ways you want, helicopters ARE the strongest asset in the game. Ennemy team has to cooperate to take down a good pilot, because one ground player can't. The rewward for the ones who took down the héli is a few minutes of deserved tranquility. All i sense in this thread, is player who tooks bad habits because the stealth chopper was far too strong and don't get why he can't go 80/0 now.... And every time i read some "too much missiles and tanks it's impossible to deal with soo much dangers", i laugh because the one who wrote this don't realise how many dangers you cross when seeking an héli from the grount with a portable AA missile while surounded by ennemies.I play mostly infantry because the game was designed to be lots of infantry and few vehcules. But i play all vehicules and i do fly.I never said it was still easy mode as it was, i agree it might be hard and sometimes you just can't do anything and get shot down.... But it's what EVERY player is facing in this game.It's just amazing to see players claiming they are superior (inser stats laughs here) and deserv to have a special treatment.Soo instead of focusing on stats bashing, try to argue and explain how players who only use the strongest asset of the game, waiting in spawn to ensure they deny other player to use it, and neglecting soo many aspects of the game, are the people with the most relevant opinion as they obviously only see one side of the coin? I say "obviously" because the idea posted here is nothing less than: "yea hélicopteres don't have enough they really need more".I definitely don't need to see the stats of a player who would think like that, to know what his level of player is.And i definitely let this discussion away as it is totally useless, spoiler alert, choppers won't get a buff by Dice guys... I let the big boys compare the size of their... stats...Have fun and see you on the Battlefield
- @AlkaniusRUS You WANT to hack an aircraft as soon as possible in order to force out theyr flares so he can be earlier locked-on by stinger/soflam while he is still in range.
If you delay the hack you just give him more time to retreat since his lock-on immunity is still going when he is far away retreating.
As I said earlier, rao/ Stinger works against pilots with no clue on how to operate the vehicle proberly.
Against an halfdecent pilots it is just to much effort for no reward most of the time.
