@9mgebypzbisz No, this invalidates the stealth mode. It's usefulness is severely limited in stealth mode. A pilot flying around only in stealth isn't doing much to change the match.

@SpudBug “ The stealth helo
is doing nothing in stealth mode” Except dropping bombs and clearing objectives. Not to mention the gunner taking out vehicles and infantry.
You must people on these forums are completely idiots to say something so insulting to our intelligence.
Do you think we are all that stupid?
- spudbug3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zhukov211 I want you to make a real honest attempt at using any of the attack helis or jets and see how you perform with them. And how long you can keep them alive. I would bet that it changes your perspective and constant mission to get them removed from the game.
Also see how long it takes you to even spawn in one in a match. And how long it takes to get another one when a random Rao player shuts off your vehicle and kills you because the maps have no cover.- Zhukov2113 years agoSeasoned Ace@SpudBug I have everything unlocked on both the Huron and the Hannibal. The 30mm is god like. I have flares and stealth. It’s silly OP.
- spudbug3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zhukov211 I agree it's too strong. But the nightbird is fragile and the miniguns are completely random in their aim, and it can't climb vertically at all.
Before too long the complaints will have the stealth heli in the same spot where it's not effective at anything but being a target for infantry
- S3SSioN_SoL3 years agoSeasoned Ace@Zhukov211 I'm just a little bit curious... but how exactly does the gunner take out vehicles and infantry from a 650+ altitude? If they're lucky they might kill 1 person every 3 minutes. That's terrible compared to actually using the Stealth Heli to its maximum potential.
I can clear entire objectives whilst evading locks by weaving around cover and not because of the stealth or flares but because I'm a decent pilot. So the whole "they can drop bombs to clear objectives" is a really bad argument. Because I mean, it's called dropping bombs? What should the bombs do instead, not explode?
The gunner also can't damage heavy vehicles, the most they can do is EMP targets from a 650+ altitude.
Nothing about this playstyle is broken, because the pilot is contributing a quarter of what they could. And that's not even factoring in when the enemy Heli spawns and comes after them.
