Fix for stupid flashlights

[{CLR} Cobalt]

the Heli is fine ...no it dont need more armor its not a tank nor is any real heli ....use cover just like the real deal or get your butt shot out of the sky just like the real deal...its not a tank its a chopper man

I dont think the heli's take enough damage from Lmg's .. In real life, an Lmg will chew the hell out of a helo in short order. These things in game just keep on pluggin like nothing happened. I dont even bother with trying to shoot at them with infantry rifles or LMG's. That aint right. But there is a lot broken with this game so far.

I dont think the weapons mentioned are more powerful than others. I just started using the AS Val. and can kill with it as well as with those mentioned. Seems it has a better hit box than others. But I havent found one to be much over powered than the next. I think it has more to do with recoil and fire rate than anything. I've made some crazy long shots with rifles. I think my best headshot on accident is 294 meters. But it wasnt with a sniper rifle.

Oh, and that sniper glint is the best thing that happened in this game. With prone and the map setups, you'd never find a sniper if he had a good hide. It still can be a problem though specially on Caspian.

I hate that. I've missed a few good dog tags when I hit them with melee and all it does is lower their health. They turn around and we look at each other as if caught if our pants down.

Done the same thing. I just short burst em now and move on. I never was one for knifing all that much anyway. I've been killed a lot cause I got greedy trying to knife a guy and his squad mate blew hell outta me while I was trying to knife his pal.

If you want to talk about tough helos, relate it to tank shells. A sabot shell meant to destroy a tank is going to obliterate a chopper, yet these things, you're lucky if they simply catch fire. I Eagle Eye a bird and find myself hoping and praying that it crashes. That's lame.

With regard to LMGs, an LMG will only tear up a transport heli and if you can hit them, the rotors and engine intakes of an attack bird, which are otherwise armoured to withstand 7.62mm rounds.

I haven't played Rush yet and I don't fly anyway, but I wonder how much damage the A-10s and Frogfoots can take? Those things are absolute flying tanks in real life.

I was just going to say, Transport Heli's don't last - only because I shoot out the pilots/passengers without much fear. It's a good challenge!

you mean your a sniper

I wonder how large the EA Complaint department is? Maybe they got Peggy working for them from the credit card commercials?

Nope! I just unload a clip being Assault or Support and lead the chopper and I usually see it fall out of the sky without a pilot

Yeah, I finally hit a chopper with a tank round and it kept flying, lol, with a little smoke. Another funny thing is a hit on a stinking jeep with a javelin simply disabled it!

@ Raven, one reason the SCAR-H has some punch is it's .308 caliber. It doesn't take many 308 rounds to take a guy out. (though it does make me wonder why mounted guns need so many rounds to drop someone)

I know the .50 cals Mgs. seem to need 4 or 5 hits to kill someone.

Right? Might as well mount an M9 on those vehicles: the rounds'd be cheaper. (pew pew)

Seems you should want to take the upgrade in weapons or there is no reason to have it in the first place.
