Sam Turret's- priorities?

dwmorgan52 · 01-25-2011, 08:05 AM

I have never seen one of my sam turrets fire at choppers. Just spyplanes. Do they fire at choppers? Are they effective for you?

Mine seems to fire at everything. I seem to kill spy planes and care package choppers the most but obviously they are a much more frequent kill streak. I love blowing up care package choppers before they even get halfway across the map.

I think SAMs will target the closest line of sight enemy object. However, if there spy plane/counter-spy plane/helicopter around, I've always seen it go for the spy plane first. Maybe a coincidence. Something for DefendTheHouse to try on the next Black Ops Mythbusters.

It sure feels like spy plane has highest prio. Which results in helis never being shot down since there is a constant 3+ planes in the air at any given time in games with respawn.

If they change the priority to Hind/Huey/Cobra, then Counter-spy plane, then spy plane, more people would use and protect the SAM. That and fixing the reroll "bug".

Currently, many people reroll SAM packages in attempts to receive HIND/Huey/Cobra/Dogs/SR-71/Napalm/B52/Mortar instead of just using the SAM which usually dies within a minute of two of being deployed as most users drop the SAM and run away instead of protecting it because it tries to kill the 5-6 spy planes in the sky instead of the Huey killing you 4 times in a row.
