I was on some random sharqi server yesterday, and a guy was in the AA at the hotel, and he was locking on instantly as I got in the Cobra, is he using some sort of glitch? He was doing this all round and got a load of kills
Are you sure he wasn't in the one by the artillery?
nope when the patch 1. lets make bf2 even worse they increases the distance of the aa so now it can lock onto you, the aa at the other flag (forgets name) can also lock onto as soon as you take off.
You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.
yeah ive had it happen to me, the hotel aa can lock on to you straight away, its annoying but there ya go patch-tastic
I have done that and got up to 10 kills before being knocked off the AA gun.
its heat seeking and even though you cant see the heli . as soon as you jump in and the rotors start spinning..
there you go .. just aim in that general direction and boom you get em 2 at a time..

I can remember as I played on a sharky server. I was in the AA at the hotel and out of no where i got a lock on the cobra. And I killed him two or three times in a row. I got a lock even when I did not see the chopper.
And of course the pilot was swearing and told me a cheater. But I would never use any kind of cheat/hack/glitch.
The only explanation is, that a AA does not need a visual but only a heat signature.

The Other flag you are thinking about is surveillance. No it is not a glitch its part of the game. The Only way to beat that is to try to dive behind the TV station with the Cobra as soon as you get it spinning fast enough. That way the AA will only lock on to you long enough to get 2 shots off, which gets you down to 3 bars.Evil-fruits|ST4R wrote:

Or, provided everyone in your team isnt a blue noob
You could get in, get tone, flare, hop out, get in, and fly away

Hop in, let him waste his missles, tilt the Havok on it's side, hit F2, slam a TV-guided missle in the dude's face. Do it all the time when I'm solo choppering.
If he's in the AA by the arty, just spawn as a sniper, put one in his face, and get to the choppa!
yeh u can hit cobra from hotel plus if it moves forward just a little u can hit it from surveillance if u on mec and have guy on both AA it will take cobra out of game will admit have done this once got 8 kills lol with one boom so many spawning 4 it lmaoCHURNED wrote:

Thanks to people complaining about the Anti-Air, this problem occured...
AA's max range = 300m
AA to TV Station Helipad = 281m (I believe)
Owning chopper whores as soon as they take off = priceless
Theres some things EA cant fix, for everything else, theres violence.

Be MEC, capture hotel as commander, just sit on AA and own choppers whores and arty everyone else.Cursed You wrote:

Simple
Generally I just capture it as a foot soldier. Like Suburb on Kark, no one gives a fuck about Hotel on Sharqi. But if you let it sit for too long, soon enough they have the whole map. I just sit up there and hit people with the AA. Its nice getting a "OMFG WTF HAX YAKUZA KICK HIM PLZ" because I nailed them.
Yak ftw.
Yak ftw.
Come to Sharqi 24/7 Insomnia 365. I'd like to see you do that.Cursed You wrote:

I love going there. I usually snipe on the crane or around construction site and I think Ive seen you before on there...
But sure I'll do it

The AA @ Sharqi hotel has been able to reach the TV station there since 1.0, by my recollection.
It's easy to avoid. Hop it. Wait for them to lock, and assume they are immediately firing on lock. Hop Out. The missles lose lock because nobody is in the bird. Hop back in.
You can get the bird up and over the hotel before he reloads if you're on it. Even if not, you'll have flares.
I will VERY often head to the Hotel when MEC has all but the TV station. You can lock down the USMC-helo with that AA against most pilots. That's usually their best bet to cap something like City Entrance and break the lock.
The second best bet for USMC on 32-size is capping Hotel with a run from the tank. So... I usually spawn with anti-armor when doing that.
Of course, this won't work at all if USMA has construction or observation. The Hotel-AA there is wide open to get sniped by every weapon except engineering kit.
