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

@UP_Hawxxeye Good tips with one minor error.....

Used the Stigla extensively last night and managed 9 whole hits! All of which indicated only 20 damage. Granted, this may be a 'notification error' but.....

    @Trokey6620 damage or 20 points?
    I can absolutely confirm that it takes 2 stiglas for dead stealth bird. I just lost mine to 2 of them that hit near the same time.

    @UP_Hawxxeye Sure it says damage and tried again last night, hit a SOFLAM'd Stealth heli with 2 Stiglas and it didn't go down (should have videoed it but forgot!).

    I may be being just unlucky but something isn't right, not sure what.

    @Trokey66 That indicator is for XP not damage like old battlefield games.

    The damage done to a vehicle doesn't matter it just gives you 20xp for damage bonus.

    The heli probably used repairs between runs. Two fxaa missiles will kill the stealth heli if he doesn't use repair between them.
  • Liz's Rockets are always 20 DMG. Beat way to test it is to be in the heli. 

    Yes,.DMG and XP are not related, but in this case it is 20 XP, 20 DMG by design.

    @A-RAF2019This is false, it's around 50~ damage. I know this because I was hit by them countless times the last time I flew a stealth heli. However, I believe if you hit the tail rotor, it can do ~30 damage.

    A Liz missile will take more than 50% of the health of a stealth heli.

    A stinger will do like 80-90% of the full health

    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.
