I actually shot down 5 helicopters last night 🙂
The pilots weren’t very good though + I dedicated my gameplay 100% to hunting air units.
In some of the cases others from my team were shooting at the helicopter(s) too, however only with their guns as far as I could see.
Still, they may have softened it a bit.
I ran with Boris to get that little bit of extra anti-vehicle help from his turret + FX anti-air missiles.

Don't underestimate the power of shooting helicopters with normal guns though! Although it may deal little damage it will break a self repair which might help in the process of eventually destroying the helicopter. Or in case of the stealth heli, if damaged enough it should disable stealth mode. It's exactly for this purpose I have the anti armor rounds in the 3rd ammo slot of my LMG's if I'm running engineer, so when I ran out of missiles I still can contribute to countering helicopters.
@RanzigeRidder2I distribute AT mines directly at the tanks themselves to make sure they blow up even if they get me.
Most people do not expect that.
I saw a badly hurt MAV or something last night drive towards safety out of bounds in their spawn area.
So I plunked down my Boris turret and got the vehicle kill with it :-)
