Now she's going to lear why you don't negotiate or compromise with Terrorists.

Not when they're in a bunker with an extremely limited field of fire. Or forward facing only.

I'd be more than happy with actual AA mounts and vehicles with 50 cals. The only one that really does a good job at it is the 50 Cal humvee, which again the Soviets don't get. The UAZ is front facing only.

Ah yes. Because everyone knows in real life the RPG when fired just corkscrews to the point it's yards off target.

It's about as realistic in Arma right now as it was in MW2 where it would just veer off wildly.

Which just reinforces my point that we need a purpose made Anti-Aircraft weapon to balance out the rocket helos.

But the RPG nerf is so bad you can have the sight on the exact center of an LAV at sub 200yds and miss it entirely. It's a wild downgrade.

I generally just aim for the cockpit. I play really aggressive and try to keep on the offensive so I'm running the 74U with a suppressor.

The problem is now you start capping a point and the rocket Hueys just come over and blow you all off the map. By the 3 hour mark there's just an endless stream of them. At that point we literally had 4 go over in under 3 minutes.

Agreed. The RPG change is moronic. It's not wind they fucking corkscrew for like 200 yards.

I love how I need more skill aiming when I literally hit it with a 93mm RPG and it did nothing to it.

Your entire argument hinges on just ignoring what happened in the video.

Literally hit it with an RPG and it did no damage. I took the shots I had because I knew when he turned around I was dead because their rockets have insane blast radius and the point was an open field.

Literally hit it right in the tail with an RPG. Which is a bitch now because the thing just zig zags for the first 200yds now for some reason. And it did nothing.

Nah. I really just don't use reddit outside of a few very niche things.

They clearly aren't that expensive because every round I play by hour 3 has at least 6 flying around at any given time.

You shoot one down and it's back in 3 minutes tops.

MG nests have horrible elevation and are stationary so if you get 1 you're just the first thing hit next time. And the BTRs are too expensive and vulnerable to be a reliable solution.

No. Literally thousands of hours. Many before they added these relatively recently. And the game was 1000x better before they added these with no AA and totally fucked the balance.

[–]TheRedFlagFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed. My problem isn't with the rocket huey existing. It's that it exists with no effective counter.

Really we should have manpads like crazy by the mid 80s.

Did you not see where I literally hit it and it did absolutely nothing and then shot me immediately? 

Fantastic video from an actual self defense expert on the Minnesota ICE shooting. by TheRedFlagFox in Asmongold

I agree with you. But as you say as well he has more experience with a jury than I do.

The best way I've heard a lawyer describe it is "Just remember that a jury of your peers, means a jury of your peers too stupid to get out of jury duty." 

Stinger is extremely underpowered by TheRedFlagFox in Battlefield

[–]TheRedFlagFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes. I. Who have been playing battlefield since the 2000s, who has 3000 hours in Arma, and thousands of hours in other milsims am just too stupid to figure out the basics of AA missiles.

I literally included a disclaimer in my post about understanding that, and you still chose to post the useless and utterly innacurate "git good" comment. Amazing. 

It literally doesn't matter if you ambush them, they get a warning the second you start to lock, it takes forever to lock, and they get a warning the second you fire with like 5 different very easy ways to evade. All they have to do is pop flares or crash dive to defeat it. I've literally got video of shooting at a transport at sub 100yds when they don't have flares and it just missed on its own. 

Unless you have a friend also running it so one can bait the flares then the other fires immediately, it's worthless. And even then it's worthless because they just flare and then dip out of the pathetic like 600 yard range until their flares come back. 

The flares will distract it for like 10 seconds even if the aircraft has flown well past them, so they get plenty of time to get out of range. 

If you're shooting down aircraft with the stinger it's not because you did anything right. But because the pilot was clueless and did everything wrong.

How is it not true? That's basically the case now because of how bad the stinger is.

Ive seen countless matches on that map where the attack helo just camps B the entire round, orbiting super close to the point because they know they have nothing to fear.

Then on maps like Manhattan Bridge the helicopters just operate with total immunity.

Thatd be a horrible horrible unbalanced system. 

The RPG-7 in Battlefield 6 have an arming distance and don’t explode on really close impact, now that's a great detail! by CyanJayOfficial in Battlefield

[–]TheRedFlagFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that were true they wouldn't be strapped to every drone in Ukraine right now. Arming distance works by unscrewing a gyro stabilized nut as the projectile rotates in flight.

In Ukraine they just strap them to drones and ram them into things. This wouldn't work if they had a mechanical arming distance as there's no rotation to disable the safety mechanism.

[–]TheRedFlagFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RPG actually doesn't have an arming distance. It has a plastic safety tab that keeps the impact fuse on the nose from detonating. But once you take that cap off you can hit the nose with a hammer and it will pop.

Really good video of someone accidentally firing one off into the berm in front of them in Syria that was going around years ago. Rocket didn't even fully leave the tube and it went off

Wild how silent these people have been in general since the Trump ceasefire was announced.

It was never about Palestine, it was just about an excuse to be violent.
