Unbalanced helicopter OP
Being a battlefield fan, I have all the games in the franchise and I'm really trying to give this BF2042 a chance but it seems that you DICE really don't want us to play this game. If a player has me...
a lot of helo pilots will flare when they get the notification they are being hacked (before hack finishes) so they don't get smacked with the missile(s) that are inevitably coming after the hack. gives them time to run
So, it's basically just a purely defensive ability? Shouldn't it stop them from flaring, firing or really anything at all?
Like I said I have just started using him and so far I'm just not that impressed.
@Ironhead841Rao can stop strafe run. Or rather postpone it for 5 sec. Heli will turn around and still going to kill you (they see hack direction) but you can live just a little longer. And that is fair only IF hack actually works.
Hack prevent flares only AFTER it was finished (when he flings his finger). So there are 3 sec window to flare and make a circle to avoid rockets.
Rao heavily depends on teammates. If you hack and then your teammates can shoot rockets then you are a great support. If you are alone and teammates doesn't help you then Rao is just a soldier and in general minor annoyance to vehicles.
