Blackhawk too good?

[swiss]

Isnt it very unfair that the USMC transport heli is the blackhawk which has the seriously dangerous miniguns; whilst both MEC and CPA have a shitty heli with a crap machinegun on the side.
Many a time , Ive been on MEC and the team gets completly owned simply because a blackhawk with a decent gunner circles the flag whilst masacaring every1 who spawns.

 

[CyberPitz]

IT's so true..I think it's a subtle way for EA to suck up to the Bandwagon Patriots...

But all in all yeah..its crazy that the Blackhawk is better then the other transport helos..

I've done that before, me as the pilot and another guy as the gunner and he managed to rack up a score of 35kills - 2deaths and i just got loads and loads of teampoints.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

How about this, sneak into a US base and steal their blackhawk, problem solved about you have a shitty copter.

 

[ray_MAN]

I love stealing the helicopters. It's my specialty. Grand Theft Helo: Dragon Valley.

 

[Kamikazie]

i wonder if it's to replace the suckness of the medic and anti tank guns?

 

[Gray Fox]

he? , don't medics and at-troops from both sides suck.

 

[ray_MAN]

I'd prefer the MEC and China medic over the USA medic any day.

 

[Kamikazie]

the medic on the MEC and china have AK-47's USMC has the 3 shot burst crap gun.

now that i think about MEC and China and USMC all have crap anti tank weapons

 

[Foxtrot]

The MEC and China get the jeeps with a 360 degree range, that is the counter.

 

[Agent.M]

The name is wrong to begin with Army=Blackhawk / Marines=Seahawk.

Yeah if I get a chance I'll steal their copter then pwn them with the my team mate that also has one, we destroy all, well at least try too. :E

ooh thats a good one, I love that 360 degree turret.

Anyway, whats the differance between teh different fighter jets(not bombers)
Like if you allredy have the f-35, why do you need an F/A-18E(or something like that). Is there any difference between them.

I remember that happening in Mashtuur city, the MEC stole our blackhawk and owned our asses off. So, then I stayed behind and planted C4 on it and waited...and waited...and then 4 guys got in and BOOOM!!!

I could never understand why someone would run into a vehicle with the skull and crossbones flashing. :|

"woohoo! Free Health!"
Boooooooooom!

 

[Pesmerga]

the medic on the MEC and china have AK-47's USMC has the 3 shot burst crap gun.

The 3 shot burst is a very effective way to bring soldiers down from any range. I was once Assault on USMC against a shit load of MEC troops all rushing toward my position. I set up a little defense with my medic buddy and we took down at least 8 suckers because of my three shot burst. They were too block headed to realize that their full-auto ak's were not very effective while running.

 

[AmishSlayer]

The MEC and China have the jeeps with the 360 firing arc like Foxtrot said and they are surprisingly good at taking down helicopters. I sat at the main China base in Songhua Stalemate (sp?) with an FAV and killed like 3 approaching blackhawks one after the other. When they started turning to the side I aimed at the gunner and ended up killing him before he could actually hit me.

Yeh, but I'd like both options at once, which a full-auto gives

A full auto weapon only lets you choose between single shot and full auto...three shot burst is much more effective and devastating if you don't freak out and jump up and down screaming DIE YOU GOD DAMN HACKOR DEIEEEEEE.

 

[Viperidae]

Speaking of the Blackhawk/Seahawk, there's a weird bug with it: get in one thats parked, go onto one of the miniguns, aim as low as possible, and start shooting. You'll start to team damage yourself, and you'll say things like 'stop firing!' When you kill yourself it considers it a tk.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

If there is every a BH hovering over you and your using assault class, just nade inside the cabin and the heli will usually blow up, or everyone inside will just die.

If it is a MEC or PLA chopper you can hit the bottom with an AT rocket and kill 2 passengers. It is so easy on the PLA chopeprs, I killed all the passengers before the helo blew up last night.

 

[Agent.M]

THESE CHOPPERS ARE NOT BLACKHAWKS!!!!! :rolling: If they were really trying to be accurate they would use neither the seahawk nor the blackhawk they would of used the sea-knight.

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

What are they called in game? BlackHawks, what do we call them? BlackHawks, why? Because thats what they are called in the game. I don't care to get technical on this stuff, I call it by what it goes at ingame. It would be confusing as hell if I kept calling it a SeaHawk, most people would say "Huh?".

I disagree, burst is to innacurate at long distances, and not powefull enough in close ones.
If killed a lot of people with the ak with semi-auto, it's accurate and shoots as fast as you pull, thus you kill easly, and the accuracy in semi auto is amazing, and for close range you have full auto, plus with full auto you can controll how long you want to burst, if the target is at medium you burst(by holding the trigger for half a second) if he is up close you go full auto by just holding the trigger.

 

[Pesmerga]

Three shot burst is more accurate than if you manually did a burst shot, it's in the design. Full auto is really stupid, even in close combat, its horribly innacurate if you don't even attempt to burst it. Three shot burst allows you to get more hits within a shorter time without wasting ammo. It's generally more effective. And for longer distances (although there is a point where you simply can't hit someone because he's too far away) the 1 shot burst is excellent (on either weapon).

 

[J_Tweedy]

Doesn't the MEC transport chopper have TWO guns mounted on one side? If so, that sorta mite blance it out- tho i doubt it- you cant beat a mini gun.
The nade thing, works for humvees and heavy jeeps- chuck one in the back, BOOM, bob's your uncle- you've got 5 kills and a vehicle to use.
BTW: I think i need to get better at using grenades- whenever i die up against a few guys, i always think- Shouldve used a nade- it sux- but i guess more practice will help with that.

It only has one on each side, and even if it had two that equaled the power of the blackhawks guns, it still would not be balances because that is 5 people that have to man it instead of 3.

 

[Pauly]

the blackhawk gives you a shell shock feel when you are near the bullets.

 

[Dalamari]

Blackhawk is overpowered compared to other transport choppers, but you need a full crew for it to be any good

 

[Foxtrot]

You only need 2 actually, that is what we use in clan matches, and I assume most other clans.

 

[Pesmerga]

Actually you only really need 1 gunner, who can switch instantaneously between the two guns.

 

[CyberPitz]

yeah 1 gunner is enough to rip any hole in any arse.

I say EA has some balancing issues to work with --;

1 gunner, and 1 pilot

 

[DiSTuRbEd]

Lol me and cyberpitz were just owning in a server, I was flying him and generally 2 other passengers, they couldn't keep up with me we won all our rounds. 2 rounds via me taking a blackhawk and flying us to flags and capping. I love doing that, its really fun even tho some people think its cheap.

 

[Pesmerga]

1 gunner, and 1 pilot

I was doing some piloting once in a BH, and everyone jumped out when I had some red X alerts, so it was just me. I would find some heavily populated flag and once I had my side to them, I'd switch to the gunner and try and take out as many as I could before the BH would start slanting toward the ground. Back to pilot seat, readjust, and then back to gunner...

Too bad there's not an autopilot function...

 

[Dumb Dude]

The Blackhawk is a dumb helicopter because it ain't even black. Talk about dumb names, sheeesh.

And actually on topic: The blackhawk is so much better than the rest because thats how it is in real life. They did their research and I guess their researched showed that our helicopters owned theirs.

You only see it if the C4/Mine/Claymore is from your team.

But there are still stupid teammates out there :rolling:
