Stingers can be anoying but with a proper gunner with thermal optics instead of flares+ you using ECM jammer and being good hiding behind things you can rack up a fuckload of kills. I agree the dogfighting sucks.. i hate when some faggot come with his stealth perk having me change from something useful like guided rockets or painter just to not get picked off by his "mad skiellz" at lock spamming missiles.
@FriezaReturns00001 I didn't say anything about adding those launchers back. I prefer the Stinger for balancing purposes, since helis are no long totally invulnerable.
@gumball20000 yeah but if they did add the CG and the AT4 then it would be a cockfest of people getting all these rediculous kills with those 2 weapons which is one of the reasons why i dont use the choppers in bfbc2. oh well it is what it is.
I enjoy Battlefield: Bad Company 2 more than Battlefield 3 because I am a hardcore helicopter pilot and in Bad Company 2 the copters just feel better. The dogfights are more skill based with the gunner's tracer darts playing a huge part in winning the fight for air superiority.
Also, the gunner's machine gun is too powerful in BF3, when in BC2 the gunner would dominate against infantry and light vehicles on the open, but the pilot's rocket pod was powerful against buildings and tanks.
The agility in the viper is great. You can turn quick and pull off great manoeuvres but the havoc I believe is just terrible. It is way to slow and it feels chunky. There is one thing that is really annoying and too overpowered is the SOFLAM javelin combo or guided shell laser paint combo. Once you are lazed there is almost nothing you can do, unless you roll with ecm jammer. But that has the issues of when you have a random gunning they dont use flares and you get shot dont straight away.
I for one am glad that the BF3 choppers aren't as overpowered as in BC2. Yes you could sometimes shoot them down with CGs or AT4s, but most decent pilots were skilled enough to avoid them. From this video it looks like you are having absolutely no troubles doing awesome with the choppers, lol.
The movement is a plus for choppers, the stingers are just annoying though. Any time I end up killing someone in a chopper, they almost always get their stinger to go for the revenge kill.
Dog fights are awful as well. Just remove heatseekers all together from the helicopters at least!
@BirdManCinema Agree the choppers in bad company 2 could just annihalate ground forces unfairly, look at this video even with stingers hes holding down an entire base of enemy's. a lot of whom btw have stingers so they're not overpowered, and he still rapes them. AA in BC2 was also overpowered since if it was up and effective you could kiss you helis goodbye but without it prepare for death. and using a gustav in bc2 to hit a heli was tough as fuck
i want AH-64 Apache longbow like BFBC 1/2, insted of the this heli. The apache is so nice.
