If i see a smoking chopper in the distance i'll shoot, if he's about to crash i will also shoot. If i can see the pilot i will shoot him, the same applies to hummers and vodniks.

Haven't tried. But I ususally will fire at aircraft with whatever Ive got. If you get enough people shooting at it, you can at least make them fly away to get repaired.

But I've hit a chopper with a blast from a M1A2 and a T90 without taking it down. <------ that's total BS that a tank shot can't blow a heli to bits.

a tank shot will bring the heli down to 4 or 5 bars, attack helicopters that is. put 1 tank shell in him and switch to the 50 cal for the coup de grâce.

i once destroyed a chopper with the MEC engineer shotgun, i was just messing around shooting at it for about 5 minutes, and with the occasion fire that my team gave it, it eventually started smoking, so i chased it around shooting at it when ever i got a chance, it eventually went into the fog of war and with a few blind shots BAM....

you have killed ****
you have killed ****
you have killed ****

i was like WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA , it was soo funny.....lol

In real life though wouldnt a .50CAL seriously fuck up a helicopter even if it got shot once? i mean it can take out keeps with no problems so shouldnt it do major damage if you shoot it from the side?

I wanna see that thing shot in real life and see how much it can go threw any one know how much solid steel it can go threw?

I know a rocket can penetrate what was it 14 inchs of armor?

Yes.  And if you managed to detonate the Hellfires, it'd be even more screwed.

Umm u do know if u shoot the pilot in the head it kills him with a m95 right?

EDIT: btw u can do it with any jeep(vehicle with a windshield) any plane or any chopper.

The Barrett .50 cal is actually an anti-material rifle... so absolutely tonnes.

I have seen a firepower demonstration where a dummy was placed behind a car, and a sniper with the barrett shot through the car's engine block and got a kill on the dummy - range was about 1000m so it was a damn good shot - the car was absolutely trashed, and the dummy was barely recognisable.

And I assume you've got one in the trunk/boot of your car for "emergency" situations, eh? Lock and load baby!

I love sniping the pilot out of the choppers esp on Wake when they hover above the pad to repair and rearm the gunner never has a chance at that height lol

This weekend I shot down a chopper with a gun
But you can always kill a chooper ; the best way to do it is to shoot rockets if the chopper have some.

i shot down an Jet pilot once....with the M95.

i was on the carrie of Wake. i lie down and just look in front of me...well what did i saw...an Jet pilot that came straight to me...(u know the tactic to make road kills with the jet fly very low on the carrier) i could see his face...i aimed on it...and shot and what i killed him .... and the plane crashed into the side of the carrier.. i think thats my best shot ever with the sniper and jet pilot

Here's a question.

If you shot a blackhawk pilot out of his chopper and it dropped onto a bunch of team mates, would that be considered a teamkill or would they simply be no more.

If I happen to be a sniper and I see an enemy heli about, I'll try to kil the pilot, even though I don't know where to really shoot.  Not really sure if you just need to shoot the cockpit, or actually hit the pilot.

Are you kidding? He's talking about the .50 on top of the buggys, the humvee / vodnik etc, and the tank.. and that thing is INSANELY good against helicopters! If you're a n00b and spray until it overheats you get it well and truly smoking before it does, and if you use it properly you can easily, EASILY bring it down. I am a pretty decent heli pilot and I make destroying anything with a mounted .50 cal my first priority... and if I'm getting hit by one that my gunner can't find, I get the hell out of the way. You can dodge missiles / tanks / jets but there is nothing you can do against sustained heavy machinegun fire, either kill it or hide.

Silly question. Of course I would with my trusty M95.

Best way is to camp the heli and shoot the pilot, 10 feet off the ground so it crashes.

The other way is a wee bit harder but I got one yesterday. That's to shot a Blackhawk pilot on the fly. Very enjoyable moment.

Also yesterday. I didn't shoot him down but I ran him off. A Blackhawk was raping our last base. I put a clip into him and he decided to leave, leaving a nice trail of smoke. All my teammates managed to spawn then.

As far as shooting one down with a mounted 50 cal....I've done it but there was very little satisfaction there.

Even if you empty your ammo on it, the helicopter won't die. If you shooti it while it's smoking you have a chnace, i've done it before.  Of course it's always better if you can take them right out of the chopper.
