	Lately I've noticed that the helicopter can be way too powerful depending on whose piloting it. I played as the defender on Oasis and it felt like we lost just because of the helicopter. I couldnt move out in the open or drive a vehicle with out getting shot at by the helicopter pilot or gunner. Theres no easy way to shoot it down. You can get in the anti-aircraft gun, but its easy to get shot out of it, then you have to wait for it to respawn. The tank cant aim high enough to even bother trying to shoot it down. The rocket launcher cant lock on it. Even if you manage to damage it, all they have to do is land back at their base and repair it. I've played games where the same person was in the helicopter with out dieing. They should either give a helicopter to both sides, or make it easier to shoot it down. In BF2, when a sniper would lock on it there would be a rocket following it until it blew up. They should bring something like that back, or have a better AA gun, and actually have one at every base. ------------------- quote TurMoiL911 is there a way to train a pet to perform oral sex on you ?

	Its easy to take down. Go specialist, Tag the bugger, Go demo and shoot with rocket launcher. The tag makes rockets lock on, and there pretty much strait hits if its locked on. Or just go that medic one and shoot at it like hell, it will go down eventually. ------------------- Steam Forum\|Portfolio

	If your lucky enough you can take it down with a single sniper shot. Just get to high ground and study it for a moment then strike. ------------------- fatboy faith

	There's a good chance I was the one piloting that chopper... I agree that it is ridiculously powerful though. All I have to do is get in, wait for a gunner to get in, and hover around while my gunner destroys everything in sight. Once we take out the AA gun we are unstoppable. Oh yea and I always pick support class so I can heal the chopper when its health goes lower than 60. So yea, I'm one of those jerks in the chopper With my friend who is an amazing gunner, I got a little over 1000 points just for flying him around. He got like 60 kills and 1200 somethin points. So yea, the chopper is really, really cheap. ------------------- Take a chill pill

	How would it be easy to get a lock on with the helicopter as specialist? The tracker flys pretty slowly, and downward making it challenging to lock on anything on the ground at a distance, let alone a helicopter flying around in the sky. I'll try that though and see what I can do. ------------------- quote TurMoiL911 is there a way to train a pet to perform oral sex on you ?

	Yea, Slayer is right... even if it looks like you hit the chopper with a dart, it sometimes doesn't register as a hit. THe tracer gun has a very short range. So if the chopper is high up, there's no way you can tag it. There's a really easy way to destroy a chopper in like 5 seconds but I don't want people shooting me down all the time Btw, slayer, I like your avatar ------------------- Take a chill pill

	I can't fly the helicopter for s***. If you could make up your own room, then it would be alot easier to learn how to fly it. Compared to the campaign controls, which are childsplay, these are horrible. I was in Oasis yesterday, defending, and I could barely get out of our base due to the heli. Like said before, depends who flys it. Whenever I play with my friend I always go gunner and support, we tend to stay alive for most of the match with loads of kills & points. The AA gun should have better cover, it's far too open and is easy to shoot down. Normally I can take out a heli easy enough with my support gun, only if I can move to somewhere safe before it kills me! ------------------- \| Oh make my blood thump 7,8,9.

	Well maybe your problem when trying to take it down with the "AA gun" is the fact that it is, in fact, NOT an AA gun. It's an Artillery Cannon, or in other words, a very very powerful mortar meant for attacking ground troops. -------------------

	It's piss easy to take down. I'm always Recon and never anything else and I've noticed how gamers struggle to take it down. An Uzi's most effect against it. I easily take it down with the M95 its never takes more than 5 shots. Also Helicopter whores like slapshotj22 are shit player who just use that as a chicken shit way of fighting. God sakes pick up a gun and get in the front line. Instead of being a heliwhore and bragging about it, when it takes very little skill to be effective with it. quote slapshotj22 There's a really easy way to destroy a chopper in like 5 seconds but I don't want people shooting me down all the time Ummm is it shooting it? This just proves what a cowardly bitch you are.

	No its part of the game if you have played any of the BF2 games helicopters are in them and they are kinda cheap. The balance comes in when use the tracer and demo kit. Also the AA gun (which it is, it shoots flack for bleeps sake) the thing goes down in like 10 seconds, if it doesn't then you scare it off and buy your team some breathing time. ------------------- Comics Forum quote George Carlin The Bible: America's Favorite Theatrical Prop
