"just fly lower" #wardogs

They should at least make it so missiles dont just fly through trees

I hate those people that go into no mans land and set up AA's right where the helicopters fly by but in the clip you did stay in range of the lock on sadly

AA in this game is amazingly oppressive. The CIWS is fine since it requires a bit of brainpower to aim, but the stationary and mobile lock-on missiles are unbelievably easy to use and there only needs to be one to shut down the air completely. IMO, two things need to happen. 1. The lower you are to the ground, the longer it takes for it to lock onto you (not just directly against the ground) 2. You should get pilot XP for successfully avoiding a rocket. Flares cost $$$ and if I gotta dodge 5 AA every time I want to fly after 10 minutes, I deserve SOMETHING back for avoiding each one by timing it well.

i think the sam sites are just too easy to spam, they reload faster than the flare cooldown plus they consume nearly no ammo. 1 ammo pallet should only give you 2 shots similar to the stingray. i am perfectly fine with the balancing on ciws tbh

Very obvious that anyone complaining about Helo not having any counters just flat out doesn't play helo. A single talon can be a hard counter for almost the entire playing field.

anybody excusing this in these replies should literally be beheaded

Yeah there’s a shocking amount of people blind posting comments like break line of sight, as if a hill and trees weren’t already doing that

the fucked up reality is this game is super attractive to retards and the type of people who think helicopter pilots in milsims should have to bend over backwards and tie knots underwater just to have a positive scoreline/ be useful to the team

they just have to nerf the ammount of ammo out of fobs that they consume. so they cant be spammed over and over. they cost pennies to shoot while flares are 750.

yeah i agree, the stingrays are balanced properly but the SAM's are laughable with how much ammo 1 pallet gives you plus fobs having enough to build them by default makes it dirt cheap to spam building them

"Buff AA" POV. Ridiculous death but i have a feeling if you had flown forward there it wouldve missed you. It tends to not track perfectly at that altitude, even after flares effectiveness window closes

I’ve had AA Missiles do complete 90 degree turns to hit me when I’m up close to a building trying to block the missile. They’re way too OP

the amount of actual brain dead comments in this is insane.

Make sure to free look and use flares at the last second before the missile hits. I've learned the hard way that flares do not work like Battlefield flares, but if you start timing it correctly you'll negate nearly every hit.

I call this flares come from Temu, you flared below 20 AGL and went lower, it should not have been possible for the missile to hit you, but for whatever reason this is how it works sometimes

you sent them flares way too early

You literally came to a stop haha

I fly and do AA (verba and talon) this is a skill issue. You don’t deserve to fly if you can’t evade these missiles. I purposefully fill my little bird with verbas at the beginning of the match to clear the skies of you rotary tourists.

Yeah that’s insane that’s not below radar lol

You have to cut line or sight or just spot where the shot is coming from and flare appropriately. I always carry 5 flares minimum.

AA should impact the terrain instead of doing whatever the fuck it just did to you lmao, that is ridiculous.

SAM sites shouldn't be so accessible and cheap to build on the outskirts in the middle of nowhere, if someone builds there, it should be a risk of significant profit loss. I've been in games with multiple of them built all over the place with 1 single person in them.

you literally stood in your own distraction, flares are meant to pull away the object flying towards you at mach-fuck, you aren't supposed to be sitting in the shit man

Beep means go lower Tone means go way lower Skill issue

Lower

Why is your field of view like 270 degrees

As soon as you hear BEEP BEEP BEEP your dumb ass should have been evading

Looks like the AA was higher than you which negates the low level flight.

Okay that was insane lmaoo

I mean it definitely looks wacky, an I’m not sure entirely how the IR seeker works in this game but you never broke line of sight over the hill and you dumped flares to late so all the Seeker did was track your heli and never saw the flare

Yeah I had a similar moment, I was literally surrounded by trees, and still some fucked from across the map locked on and shot me with his missile through the goddamn trees.

yeah if the missile is already locked and in the air being low to the ground doesn't break the missile off you, if you're low and hear the hard tone still it means it's after you and you need to trying to break it with terrain or good reaction speed, unlucky angle tbh

Send this to that one Vtuber that had she shit take to say that helis were too op

You landed INFRONT of a sam. Bad luck trying again stop bitching.

Just fly lower man, you didnt j hook properly so your height rose too high climbing over the hill.

When i fly i can be landed and still get locked on but when its a minigun or rocket little bird they can be 20m above the tower and my lock ok just doesnt fucking work

Ya im ngl. That dude cheating. Ive tried to lock onto people flying low. You cant
