I’d like to talk to the person who created the original thread on that website first before I link anything in here, no matter you posted it in battlelog or not, sorry.
Please dont turn this into bashing people who don’t like choppers, only countering trolls with polite soberness will put you ahead of them, don’t lower yourself to their layer.
Still thanks for the important informational material you delivered here.
May i ask what maps you have played the AH on ??? Going low at for example Golmud will certainly get you killed/flipped by a Tank, and there is no Below Radar in this game, so going low will not get you any advantage more then maybe some small building to try to take cover behind.
That’s like reviewing a highly complex product he has used for a short peroid of time. Makes no sense whatsoever. If I could, I’d just flag this for spam.
I mentioned earlier that I’m a skilled pilot, not gonna go in detail anymore. Even flying with random people in a pub makes him seem like a total beginner for most helicopter pilots who know their stuff.
You’re right..my bad. But yea..good luck trying to talk to the person who originally wrote it.
You say don’t fly high but then you go on to complain about the pilot’s flying. What you are describing is the direct result of a pilot flying low…which will be completely erratic because of having to dodge lock-ons. Flying low or high in BF4 makes no difference right now. Flying high you’ll either get destroyed in one pass by the attack jet or ate up by the AA. If not one of those two…you’ll die the death of a “thousand needles” from tank/IFV gunners. One hour in the AH…no comment…“facepalm”.
This thread is not about anybody liking anybody. It’s about balancing the game. I am sorry you didn’t understand that. If you don’t like helicopters just go ahead playing infantry only (just use that in your server browser).
I think what they are doing (and maybe taking the wrong approach) is to remove the advantage air whores have over everyone else in the air. In past games Air whores with their air whore setups used to have a huge advantage over everyone else in air vehicles. Now air whores still have an advantage, but a lot less of one.
It’s the one advantage consoles have over PC. Everyone has the same hardware. Once in the air, you don’t have to worry about being shot down by some dude that has a million hours in jets, 3 screens, and close to a full flight sim setup with joysticks and pedals and shit.
Did you really tried to prove a point with that video? He wants to play aggressive, he doesn’t want to play smart, like in League of Legends. And he said all that while he was crashing his little bird into things without being KIA the instant he did it (why I don’t see anything about that in “balance discussion”?).
So if you agree with him you don’t want to play smart either. Which means people that say you want OP helicopters like in BF3 are right.
And all this while you agree wit people that say “OMG they made this game for casuals”. Well guess what, helicopters in real life are fragile, they don’t “play aggressive” before the sky is clear. So you complain that playing in helicopters is not as casual as you would like, now you have to think.
Indeed. They have been slowing turning battlefield into a very casual shooter since COD became a huge cultural phenomenon. They want that for battlefield, nothing else is good enough for them. I don’t think they realize that will never happen for them. All they are doing is alienating current fans and new fans in this insane endeavor. I absolutely fear what the next battlefield will become.
Also OP, I agree that the attack chopper is underpowered compared to the scout chopper. DICE has a whole lot of game to balance, because right now things are goofed.
You’re trying to prove him wrong, yet you’re speaking about little birds and playing smart. I want to play smart and aggressive. This is just campy tactics which don’t even apply to most of the maps in BF3, nor to any maps in BF4 (as there is a lower flight ceiling in BF4 and SRAW launchers). I don’t even know what you’re talking about from “So if you agree” onwards, tbh.
The attack chopper has no role in this game. You’ll help your team more being on foot compared to being an AH. There is something seriously wrong with it.
agree. It is not BF3. The AH is a different type of weapon and you all need to relearn it. You cant take what you know from BF3 and apply it to BF4 so it doesn’t matter how skilled you were in bf3, this is BF4.
