Ok so should you get a point for shooting down a UAV? They don't spawn that often so it'd be hard to farm them but it really does help your team. Besides it can take a bit to shoot one down depending on what you're carrying so their probably should be an added incentive since you have to stand in one place and expose yourself while you chip away at it.
nah...
plus you're not really doing much good. if you shoot down a UAV with every bullet hitting it takes about 2 clips from the G3 which is the most dammaging/accurate auto weapon. by the time you shoot it down in reality you've wasted 3-4 clips and it had 4 seconds remaining on it anyway.
on the other hand if you are a plane. it takes a quick machine gun spray to destroy it.
so if there were points for destroying those, they would all pretty much go to the pilots. and all you'd see on the ground is a bunch of idiots wasting ammo into the sky.
hmmm... stationary targets ... not shooting at me.... GREAT IDEA!!! LETS GET EA TO IMPLEMENT IT!!!

well it would be too easy for a jet... he flyes just through it, a jet maybe needs like 1 quick click... so 5 bullets or less...
EDIT: *BUT, on the other side if i crash into some stupid uav flying straight into me i at least get 1 point...*

i think you should
i mean, it's a commander asset, so why not get points for destroying it
i think it's a rad idea

You get points from destroying the UAV trailer, what more do you want.
I agree with the poster. You should get points for shooting them down. Yeah it would go to pilots most on maps with air vehicles. But on a map like Karkand, there are no air assets, and destroying one there is VERY important to your team. I think it should be a 2 pointer.
