@thumperliciouz A radar from above will have difficulty locking onto something other than the ground while a surface to air missile can lock onto the aircraft against a clear blue sky.
Squirrel, may you please let us know what your gameplay recording setup is? Looking forward to hearing it! PS3 player here, looking for a way to upload HD footage such as this :)
@GTADriver96 it is indeed. It's been complained about to DICE quite a bit as it gives the other team an unfair advantage. They've gone for realism over game balance on this one. Similar thing with tanks - the T90 feels a lot more nimble than the M1.
Nice video. Good play and most importantly, gunner. Extremely important to have one. Also a KEY point you stated in your video is friendly Jets. If your team jet players are bad Pilots, you wont stand a chance to stay in the air w your Heli for more than 1 min. Good points in the video.
1. Gunner a MUST.
2. Friendly Jets must be good pilots.
3. Always go for the enemy Heli before you do anything else.
Like the video. Good stuff. Anyone wanting to learn, watch this video.
@fets2525 depends on the map and whether the enemy is locking on to us a lot. We usually try and go IR and if my IR (or ECM now) isn't protecting enough we'll switch his IR for Flares to give us double protection. Check out the live commentary I am uploading shortly.
@DaSquirrelsNuts If your gunner has guided missiles then I'd suggest using laser painter instead of air radar. It lets your gunner lock onto anything, even enemy helis, as well as marking it for your team's javelins as well. I've noticed that if i keep the enemy lasered as well that their flares can't shake the missile, and it 1 hit kills the enemy.
@fountedakis I'm currently trying to work out the best way to film/show my thumbs on the controller. Interleaving the footage at the bottom of the screen is not a problem, it's getting the filming correct so you can usefully see what's going on.
@DaSquirrelsNuts I probably wouldn't bother with that. Honestly the best way for anyone to learn is to just practice. I was really terrible at flying until i just decided to swallow my pride and learn how to do it. The best way to learn is to fly the larger helicopters (blackhawks?). Just keep playing that Firestorm map over and over, hog the larger chopper and just fly around the map. You will crash, you will get shot down. Just turn off VOIP so you don't hear any trolls and practice it up.
dam at 10 minutes this video really starts to get intense!

@MrStoneClark yes, hold down (I think it's down) on D-PAD and look around. It's one of the D-PAD buttons though

I just got below radar and, unless it's bugged indeed, you can't select it and it might just be passive

Always remember to reload rockets after a flyby with 'x'/square- that way you have full compliment for your next attack run, nice vid though.

Ye, Under Radar is bugged on that map, but I think it works on Canal.

Does your gunner run flares or IR?
