So what you’re saying is that we should let the AH stay so two people can have fun over the fun of 32 other people? Go play SOS and play as a foot soldier. I bet the first game you find someone will go 80+ in the AH, and you won’t be able to take it down more than once. I’ve literally spent entire games with C Tower down trying to take them down and the max I took down was two. That was with my friend helping also.
I don’t like flying, it’s not my style. If I have teammates than are better at flying, then I’m going good to let them fly. I can do ten times as much on the ground to help my team win. Im 50x better at drving IFVs and tanks
This isn’t just a problem with me; it’s a problem with everyone except people that don’t play this map enough or the pilots that end up murdering everyone on this map. My brother avoids this map like the plague because of the AH, two of my friends only play this map when I’m playing it, my friend and I are the only ones that love this map despite the AH constantly murdering everyone.
What do you know not understand that the average pilot can get 120 kills with minimal deaths every game? I’m an awful pilot, but when I fly them, I can get 10-15 kills easily in a span of 30 seconds. When I’m gunning with even a below average pilot, I can pick up 20 kills. Of course pilots don’t want it removed, who wouldn’t want something that allows them to mindlessly gun down defenseless foot soldiers letting them get 100 kills on a gamely basis?
While I agree mostly, the places that allow you to hide you tank and IFV are mainly C4 traps. That’s one thing that I don’t like about this game: supports and recons both have C4 so you have to be 5 times as alert, especially on this map with all the roof tops and stories. If you’re at A, then you have to watch the entrances, two stairwells, and two side rooms. At B, watch out for parachuting supports and recons, under C Tower, elevators and all the main and side entrances. At D, there’s just not a whole lot of things you can do there: C4 drops from roof and second and underneath provides the same cover as E where there’s so much cover and walls first them to sneak up on you. It’s either get killed by the AH or C4. Frankly, I take the chance if the open because the AH is usually mowing down defenseless foot soldiers on roofs.
The problem at C Tower is that upper gives you such an advantage over lower. Not that it’s tempting, but that it’s completely necessary for taking C Tower. Three foot soldiers can easily attack C Tower and take it if they hold upper. Sometimes it’s not necessarily the AH that’s the issue, but just straight up the pilots. Most AH pilots just go for mowing down roof tops on this map. Hiding behind cover on a roof is a lot more dangerous on this map than sitting in the open in any vehicle. Sometimes I’ll pull out of spawn along the bay in an MRAP and use it as a bit of an AA. I can only deal like 20 damage usually, but it’s enough for them to duck behind cover and leave C Tower alone for a minute. If most of the pilots on this map played the objective instead of mowing down roof tops the I would have less of a problem with them. So know that I’m thinking about it, it’s not the AH that’s the issue, but more of the pilots that just wants to kill . Which reminds me, a while back I was in a match where our chopper and the enemy chopper where just mowing down opposite sides of C Tower. Theirs was raping us and ours was raping them.
On a gamely basis I don’t see the best pilot/gunners getting 100 kills a game, and I seriously doubt you could get 10-15 kills in 30 seconds in the attack helicopter. It’s clear you have absolutely no idea how the helicopter works and just want it removed because you are bad.
Last time I played Shanghai I was that heli, does that upset you. Unfortunately you do not get as many kills flying.
And even when I don’t fly there, I don’t get killed by attack helicopters very often because you can avoid them so easily on this map. Even in a tank. The odd time I do get into a good spot I can freehand the heli out of the sky with a SMAW. It’s not impossible, just requires slightly above average skill to do. Which I understand totally breaks the game and destroys all balance because you have nothing but hyperbole and zero player ability.
Just depends on what team you’re on. I spawned just in on China, flew past D Tower and picked up 4 kills, shot down a SH which got me 5, and then mowed down upper C Tower and pick up 6 kills. That was all in the time it takes to spawn in, take off, and arrive at C Tower. Apparently you don’t play SOS enough. There’s always one pilot that has around 100 kills every game.
Apparently you’re leaving the realm of reasoning get as you’ve started insulting. Insulting doesn’t prove anything. You said I sucks? Guess that’s why I’m always top of the leaderboards.
Just because people are on roofs doesn’t mean that they are camping. You’re sounding like a CoD fan boy that calls someone a camper for standing still for three seconds. You have to be on the roof to take C Tower. Being on the roof of D gives you a great advantage at taking and defending the flag. Being on upper B gives you a great advantage just like roof D. Tower D gives you a great advantage at taking and defending E, D, and C whether it’s tower or rubble.
