Rockets vs Helos

Prysewhert(GER) · 07-13-2010, 02:59 AM

According to Denkirson:

- A RPG does 360 Damage
- Helicopters do have 500 Health

Why does a single rocket instantly destroy any helicopter?

/I am not demanding that to be changed, I am just curious.

Perhaps they factored in armour weakness like they did with other vehicles?.

well imo it's realistic. i think they meant the helis to go down after ANY explosion, the 500 health are for being shot. stuff like uav, m95 and mounted machine guns all damage the heli, so maybe with 360 health it was too easy to take it down by only firing high caliber weapons at it

btw does the CG take it down with 1 hit too? of course ive never seen anyone try because all CG users are too busy shooting infantry -_-

Depends on whether the pilot has vehicle armor and whether the RPG/Gustov user has explosives damage. I know that vehicle armor will make a blackhawk live through one explosive hit, possibly a basic RPG or Gustov, but no hard numbers.

Every time I've hit a chopper with a CG it has gone down. Either by blowing up or the pilot losing control.

As far as I can remember I've always 'one shotted' helos with my RPG, exp upgrade or not. I have noticed they don't explode instantly though, they spin out of control and crash sometimes giving the occupants time to bail.

Ive seen the hind take a rocket and survive a couple of times.

Last night i saw for the first time counter measures in action, though it didnt really help since there was like 5 rockets locked onto it.

CG works great on choppers, especially if you hit the tail.

Atacama and the new Valdez conquest map are the only time I use the launchers as C4 is the best for AT warfare.
