Umm dont quote me on this exactly, and im sure theres marines who will correct me, (and i know its a game that is not ment to be perfectly realistic) But the apaches where designed so they could hide hehind a hill till a convoy of tanks/trucks etc came around the road then they would hover up and take the whole convoy out in less then 30 secs of up to 16 vechiles then fly back to base for rearming.Zaius1000 wrote:
Attack helicopters are unfair versus infantry and armor, since they are almost impossible to hit with rockets/tank cannon. The rockets they fire completely devastate armor and infantry. Thats why i always find some place to hide when theres a chopper about. And come out only when hes gone. They should reduce the ammount of rockets a chopper can fire to an ammount that wont destroy a tank or apv with on load. The current # of rockets a chopper can shoot per reload is 12-14. Thats way too much.
really. i did not know thatZaius1000 wrote:
The attack helicopters are completely unfair when you in ground armor. Their missiles blow you up good. Its just really unfair with say, a tank vs an attack helicopter. Because you have no chance.

also Antitanksolds are absolut dangerours (if they know how to handle their rocktes...)
its hard enough for us pilots to fly through 24353124521345 stingers and mgs and AT's!
sure when a group of pplz always spawn as medics again and again its quite easy to kill em all!
and only a n00btankdriver is easy to hit :>
Surely tanks were made for attacking land based opponents? I always thought mobile AA, IGLA's & Planes were for attacking helicopters?
Like I said, no shit. Its the Apache Longbow........ but it would be like comparing the "Ford" Focus to the "Ford" Mustang.Sigarms357 wrote:

longbow i RL can identify, lock, and sort 250 targets in 30 seconds, WHILE picking the most dangerous 16 and taking them out immediately, so every 30 seconds 16 vehicles should theoretically die
personly i wish they'd put the flight plane of the SF choppers into normal bf2 it makes it far more realistic with the drift, and is MUCH better experience tbh..
AND THE IN-VEHICLE EAX ffs.. not to mention the EAX round walls... still nvm

it will be better when the choppers are going after eachother with air to air missles in Euro Force
