Minted.

These guys have it sussed right out. Maybe the air rape whining fecks will shut up and it won't get nerfed if this makes the rounds.



"Also the assumption that you don't know javelin is on its way is rubbish. If you check your "LOCK"...is it flashing yellow? YUP that's a soflam locking you, so expect a Javelin to follow the lock soon after.


The basic tactic is, get low FAST and circle and pop ECM about 3 - 5 seconds after the soflam locks."

In the odd hour or so I actually played it, I reckoned most people had the wrong idea about choppers.

They'd always go high (where everyone could see them) and get picked off damn near right away, instead of staying low and using the terrain and structures to break lock. 
(Bonus was if you were low enough and got hit, you'd have half a chance to land and maybe patch it up a bit)

Going high was initially a decent enough tactiplay as being low got you easily locked on to by stingers and Iglas. Then they sorted that and nerfed the stingers and inglas so people went low again. Then they realised that was shite as it was just air rape so the stingers and iglas got a buff. Now that's on a fair balance.

But people have caught on to SOFLAM and JAV combo now which can't be countered with flares so the best is to release ecm and/or as would be sensible to go low and use terrain and buildings to get between you and the JAV i nthe hope it either brakes the SOFLAM LOS hence lock or the JAV hits an obstacle between you.


It's still risky going low on a map with LAVS and MBT's around as they get a good shot at you.

I kill every chopper I see. I use sticky rubber chickens. Gets them every time. :P
