PSA: A couple of known ways to break the stealth mode of the new helis

one M5 will take it down in one shot 

It's not that hard to take them down with a team working together. It is impossible to take one out alone. Rao, hack it, maybe get one shot off which is flared and then it's out of range. Two it a little easier but still nearly impossible. You have to have a small group scattered along an area. Think about this...

Heli is stealth

Rao hacks

4 people (or 2) Fire AA

Heli flares and runs

Heli waits, goes into stealth

Repeat.

It takes a concerted effort or a decent AA gunner and Rao.

Try doing this in a pub where your entire squad is somewhere else or one at the edge of the map sniping, One in the spawn asleep and the other running around in circles near a point 200M away from you.

i find it difficult to believe that anyone can consistently do that (even 2 out of 10 times)

It more turns into the pilot making a mistake rather than hitting one from a distance. If the pilot is going to come overtop for a bombing run or is dumb enough to sit still it becomes quite a bit easier. I'm decent at using the M5 and one of my regular squadmates is more consistent than I am.

with someone running a soflam it's pretty easy since it will lock-on. 

@Psubond I think you missed the point. Maybe go back and read the whole thread? You still have to have a concerted effort by more than three people in different areas of the map to take down a stealth. Or another stealth chopper or and AA and two dedicated people.
