This is what I call a match of note :D http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4...568/232973274/
I've heard a lot of attack helicopter pilots rage on about how hard it is to stay in the air compared to BF3. I'm not a heli pilot so I cant judge on the diff. For me, an engineer on most maps, it feels about the same as in BF3 when downing aircraft.
One thing I've noticed though is that pilots that come at you from up high are relatively easy kills. Pilots that hug the earth and fly around obstacles are much MUCH hard to kill. It gives them a chance for the counter measures to reload. Also, you need an engineer on a transport or little bird, and you'll stay alive much longer. I've been an engineer repairing and we stayed up for loooooong. You get hit, go down, hide, repair and live to fight again.
Sort of like in real war, (not the repair thing, the way you fight) helicopters dont sit 1km up in the air and just blow away everything. (ok ok, except if you have nothing to take them out, aka Iraq and Afghanistan. But take Syria for example, they have some AA missiles and have taken out many helis) But yeah, on the opposite side, the rest of the game doesn't behave like a real war would. Jets dont kamakazi into you, SRAWs arent carried 5 per engineer, etc.
Oh and about SRAWs, for some reason, some heli pilots like to remain stationary or fly really slow in a straight line....thats just ASKING for a SRAW hit...
So is it really harder for a heli pilot?
Its about the same just on some maps the buildings make it harder to do strafing runs. And as for engineers they don't normally carry anti-tank weapons, its normal infantry I know in the royal marine commandos you can specialize in anti-tank weapons. As for syria the government forces aren't trained very well. Take the tanks for example they would send them in without infantry support which is a huge mistake.
Taking about hardcore games, do your own mines and M2's detonate on team mates in hard core?
I planted some M2's and when I drove past them, they detonated and killed me. Also, do they do the same amount of damage as in a normal game? I got more "vehicle disabled or damaged" than outright destroyed. I place them in groups of three.
They don't do more damage, your health is lowered.
It's normally down by 40%. So all vehicled and infantry have 60 HP.
I'll raise you one :D old friend and when are you coming to collect i'm still waiting :p
