Spent nearly 5" trying to lock-on Stealth Heli...

How on earth is this acceptable?

I legit dropped everyting i was doing and just tried to lock-on this stealth heli that was roaming the same capture point, the pilot wast even good, average at best.

The stealth was ON for nearly 5 minutes. I couldn't even fire my AA once. HOW IS THIS OK?

What am i missing? How can you counter this bullcrap?

    @Anobix Yes, a Rao hack or an EMP hit will immediately disable stealth and the pilot has wait for it to recharge before it can be turned on again.

    That's the whole point of the stealth chopper. It doesn't get blown up that quickly because you can't lock on to it. In stealth mode, a Lissiles, TOR, tank round, TOW missile, AT launcher one shots it. The heli also has limited maneuverability so it is an easy picking for the Lissiles.

    @ElTell0Well i had a few matches where I couldn't lock on at all to the heli for the whole match, just ridiculous, I'm confused as when I am in a heli trying to learn I get blown out the sky in a minute or so, its infuriating

    I'd recommend learning in solo/co-op depending on what level of learning you're trying to do

    - Vehicles are usually filled quickly and not to the needs of a single air-craft

    - To an average player, Liz missiles are not going to go well with controlling them

    - Stinger has two rounds and then you're out

    - IR Flares paired with Stealth is easy to escape any scenario, especially considering how long IR Flares last, how quickly they regenerate, and how long Stealth lasts.

    - Hardly anyone ever uses the soflam and even if they do, if you can't avoid it with Stealth and IR Flares, maybe you've had stunted developmental skills.

    "I saw a video of a guy getting targeted by the entire server with Liz launcher" -Source, trust me bro

    Just because you're absolute garbage in every other battlefield, doesn't mean you have to defend something that's broken in this because you're finally having fun feeling for the first time in your life that you're "useful". You're just hoping that they don't patch them because it's back to you living out your daily life, being useless.

    Stealth mode is indefinite - there's no timer.  Only way to force them out of stealth mode is to hack via Rao or apply significant chip damage.

    @robh350z Stealth mode is indefinite. However in that mode, you're limited to dropping bombs only, and have lower HP (one hit by TOR, whereas in uncloaked mode you can survive one TOR hit, assuming you have full health).

    Stealth is disabled by hacking, EMP, as well as damage, and it will require about 30-40 seconds before it can be turned on again. Damage-disabled stealth is greyed out for a longer time (vs a recharge).

    Stealth helicopter is most weakest and hardest thing to fly now cause of choices, repair vs flares. Obviously it's flares.

    If there is stealth roaming 5 minutes around one flag, it's your team. Rao hack is the fastest way to get that thing away. 

    About flares and Stealth mode, it's fair that you can flare in Stealth mode, cause when you get hacked, you are target for recoilless.
