Don't attempt to simply pass a 50 cal, take evasive maneuvers. Don't fix something that simply isn't broken....

It's AMZAING RETARD (sic)! You're retar- I mean right!

Its funny you say that, because it seems to me that there are many more posts wanting infantry to be gods, how that tank is overpowered, how every squad should be able to kill a tank, how aa still isn´t good enough etc...

I suggest some of you guys actually fly for a decent amount of time in pr then come bsck with respect on the work involved, compared to the absolute ease of taking an aircraft out, no teamwork required.

i think its unreal alistic, choppers in real life dont fly 100 feet off the ground or at least not most of them, they are at like 3000 feet high so yea right

View distance in real life is also much bigger, giving helicopters a visibility and often a range advantage.

1 .50 can bring down a helo IRL. It's all about shot placement.

In PR, its really quite easy to avoid 50. upwards, if you simply move the right way.

Going diagonally from the threat means he has to start thinking about vertical traverse as equally as horizontal. So a nice zig-zag-like flight path will do. Pretty obvious, but drasticly different results from directly at/away from the threat.

Whats the drop like for say, an M2.50? In PR, there is no drop at all and it makes it quite easy to shoot down the unsuspecting. I personally dont find it too hard to shoot down an attack helicopter at 600/700m in game.

I wouldnt really say anything sould be changed though. I personally get the feeling that the in-game 50cals dont really bare alot more significant impact to the battlefield than say a PKM. I think its to do with the lack of penetration, but thats difficult to code well, in relation to other weapons.

ZOMG, anyone used the M3.50cal on the Avenger?! Its a barrel of lol when you use it against INF.

...mongol...

i never really have any problems getting shot down by the enamy 50.cal but as for the Tking noobs on my team that think its fun to shoot out the back tail with an 50.cal thats another story.
the helos and 50.cal are good the way they are now. its just the ppl trying to fly dont know the right way to fly.

maby we need to start an helo flying school or something on a traning server.
and a AA school too

they need to fix some of the spots on the BH and Apache i can kill a BH in 2 shots with the 50cal and 4 in the Apache the same way i showed the devs how to kill a apc with a 5.56 clip.

In "reality" 1 man with an AK-47 can take out an Apache chopper...
