BF2S Forums BlackHawk Still Pwns!!

Have you updated it to 1.41??
If so what Bf2 are you playing?

blackhawk is ok i mean if your u.s on wake and youv got china pinned down to 1 CP (unless its the airfield) den yer start up ur whoring crew... but even then it sucks because to hit someone with dem chain guns u must be goin pretty slow which leaves u open for AT

The only way the post patch mini gun could kill an APC is if the driver accidental hit the “E” key and fell out of the vehicle and the Blackhawk was on the ground 10 feet away. But like you Just an opinion.

Uhm.....No, it can not kill an APC before overheating. Are we playing the same patch here?

That thing still can rip an APC apart even before it overheats.

gji-had bus (aka vodnik), hummer != apc

now if you realy mean an apc, the tube thing on the ground is called tow hj-8 or whatever, but not blackhawk

If the BH is on the ground and NOT moving, it will kill an APC or tank without overheating.

If the BH is moving? fugetaboutit.

Pretty easy to test on Dragon at the USMC docks.

A vodnik will blow up before the hawk if they are shooting at each other at the same time.

Apc? No way, just no way.

No way it can kill an APC , as the other lads says , maybe a Hummer or Vodnik ,

but no!, not an APC

That thing still can rip an APC apart even before it overheats. No effect on tanks, but I have defended many a flag and strategic postions using those side guns.  The Chinesse and MEC choppers are good too but no effect on APC's.

It's power is just right, if it was more powerful it would be like a hovering J-10.

Just an opinion after roaming around in the transport chopper for 1 month straight.

ummm.  You are entitled to your opinion, but no.  You must not have played pre-1.2 versions of the blackhawk.  The Scourge of Mashtuur.  The Breaker of the Stalemate.  Give me 2 support, 2 medics, and 2 engineers in the back, and I will show you 6 scores of 100+ with no deaths. 

I used to love to fly the blackhawk.  I could line gunners up with whatever they wanted. I practiced flying sideways to give my left side gunner free reign.  When the Deathhawk came circling, no enemy made it to safety.  Those beautiful doorguns of infinate destruction could lay waste to troops just by letting the bullets ride by. The only thing to give me pause were Vodniks, but I could usually get away and let my engineers repair me.  When not repairing my vehicle of noble destruction, the engineers would toss grenades, so foolish enemies would learn not to try to hide under my chopper.  The medics would heal up anyone who was hit by the fearful firing those doomed souls would throw at us in a desperate attempt to live a couple seconds longer.

Why did I love flying, instead of being part of the orgy of death at the doorgun?  Driver points baby!  Kill assists, driver ability points!  I have gotten over 100 points without ever firing a shot, or pulling out a medic or ammo bag.

The current blackhawk sucks.

The black hawk is a transport chopper hence to transport people. It wasnt designed to fly around mashtuur in circles and kill everyone.  So stop complaining about the blackhawk. If anything its very hard to shoot down and gets your soldiers to places you need.

Well you could say the same for the APC,it should just have a useless gun because it's designed for transport.

There was a delicate balance back before that patch,now USMC have nothing.

Apart from their pistol.

APC: Armored Personnel Carrier - LAV-25, WZ 551, and BTR-90

I think you are talking about transport vehicles which the BH can destroy.

Nope we are talking about the APC. 

Test:
Go onto Ghost Town on a local server and get in the Blackhawk (SAS main).  Aim a gun at the APC and go to town.  You will see what a BH can do to an Armored Personnel Carrier.
