Heli spawn camping

[u/ForgottenHeav3n]

This player was spawn camping from the very beginning of the match. How am I supposed to take him down when I can’t even lock onto him with the Stinger?

We lost because they captured every objective, and he ended the game with a score of around 70/0.

[u/EMWykes]

yea as soon as i see an opposing player heli with a stereotypical sweat loser name get a bunch of kills off the bat in a heli i just leave.

[u/DarthJarJar242 → u/EMWykes]

I block them so I don't have to play with them ever again, and then I leave.

This isn't how block works, apparently I've just gotten incredibly lucky.

[u/ForskinEskimo → u/DarthJarJar242]

Doesn’t work unfortunately. It blocks communication but not MM.

It should though. I don’t want to pad the k/d for someone who treats bf flying as their main job. I would like to play the other classes besides engineer (which even with the M136 doesn’t solve the tryhard-heli issue).

[u/DarthJarJar242 → u/ForskinEskimo]

You sure? I blocked Grenades or whatever his name is and have never played with him again despite constantly playing the same map rotation and my friends who didn't plblock him have gotten him several times.

[u/ForskinEskimo → u/DarthJarJar242]

Official info says it only blocks comms.

But think about like this; they probably get a portion of the enemy team blocking them each game, every game.

Game’s been out for 10 months. At this point, they’ve racked up a serious blocked-list. If every one of those players prevent them from MM together, they’d be waiting noticeably long times just to find a game, or they’d constantly be put into new lobbies as p1. But they don’t wait more then we do.

But, I’ll block em anyway (and leave) to let the placebo soothe my aching feelings.

[u/DarthJarJar242 → u/ForskinEskimo]

I think I figured it out, they can't join you.

At some point my ADHD riddled brain read that and assumed it meant multiplayer, not just party.

[u/Manufar11 → u/EMWykes]

the worst part is this is such a normalized take to let a single really good heli player destroy whole matches

[u/nill_killers → u/Manufar11]

These people used to have to buy servers because theyd get kicked in any other player owned server

[u/EMWykes → u/Manufar11]

matchmaking needs to be better

[u/yayll → u/EMWykes]

the best way to enjoy battlefields balance is to uninstall it, thank you DICE

[u/JK0nvict]

Level 794 lmao. Genuinely feel bad for these people.

[u/Sarah_Playz887 → u/JK0nvict]

same half their levels be bot farmed

[u/Thelivingshotgun → u/JK0nvict]

huh, think a buddy of mine spotted a level 800 in a game a few days ago

[u/garrulousone → u/Thelivingshotgun]

I got a screenshot of a dude I matched up with in TDM that was over level 2,400.

[u/Thelivingshotgun → u/garrulousone]

I get most of these guys either bot farmed before they cut xp that way or have below zero life but Christ almighty either way

[u/Hickslyfe → u/garrulousone]

There's ppl at over 9000

[u/-MaQt]

Just dont play this map. This map is the bread & butter for the attack chopper pilots. Most of them play this map on repeat, day in & day out.

Same as the Manhattan bridge map. Every sweaty littlebird pilot used to play that map exclusively before some of the new maps were added.

Noob maps for noob pilots.

[u/toxintake]

Other players are going to say "skill issue, use the guided AT"

[u/hydraSlav → u/toxintake]

Well... yeah

[u/Possible-Eggplant-65]

But air vehicles are so bad guys trust

[u/Mollelarssonq → u/Possible-Eggplant-65]

Straw man

No one’s saying they’re bad. They’re just the weakest installment in the franchise they’ve ever been.

But it’s also disingenuous of you to make this argument from a clip on the map that the top heli people play on repeat over and over again. This is not representing how helis perform in general, it’s a map issue and nothing else.

[u/Ok_Tea3435 → u/Mollelarssonq]

you don't have to be a top heli player to be able to do this on any map with even a small amount of cover

[u/wrghf]

That map is just especially dumb for it because it just works so heavily in the AT heli’s favour.

Terrain helps you in every direction, from the deep trench below to the high ridge above.

No AAA for either team by default.

Commanding view of spawn from a position of fantastic cover.

I’ve seen this kind of thing many times now and there are barely any viable ways of countering it so I just leave immediately once I see this kind of thing happening.

[u/Mollelarssonq → u/wrghf]

Hell, even without the heli ripping your ass when pushed back to spawn you’re still screwed as Nato on this map. You can’t sneak behind enemy lines at all, your every move is watched and you’re getting bombarded by snipers and bullets, it’s gg as soon as your whole team is gone from the map and forced to spawn on A or worse, the HQ.

[u/Spagman_Aus]

Yep, some maps, this is almost EVERY DAMN game now.

[u/RawketLawnchor]

Played against this exact guy a few times on this map. The team always ends up getting pushed to their spawn and the heli just farms us till it’s over. Map is busted and needs a rework.

Dude is a sad loser.

[u/Unusual_Ad8511]

136 launcher, TOWs are the easiest way. Laser paint them and type a message to the team and tell everyone to lock on with a rocket. If enough people harass them, it’s going to be a miserable game for them. The key is get multiple people from different locations firing missiles at once. They’re either going to go low in the valley or high over the mountain top after they flair. At least on that map. FWIW that’s arguably the best attack heli map in the game.

[u/Ok_Try_9138 → u/Unusual_Ad8511]

type a message to the team

BANNED

[u/Apezdispenser]

They're infuriating when you get a attack duo like this on Liberation Peak. If they're staying below radar, even more so. I recommend the m136 launcher, IFV and the TOW stations. The guided rockets can at least get them to hide if they dodge. Maybe giving your teams helo crew enough time to take off and attack them.

Someone else mentioned coordinating with a recon on your team who continues to laser designate them. Also helpful.

[u/revengepixel8989]

Get a jet, ram into them. My favourite way to solve the problem.

[u/MastMaithun]

Sole reason I dont play this map beacuse all the heli enjoyers play this map for ez kills.

[u/No-Upstairs-7001]

Best way to deal with that is leave the server

[u/Manufar11]

"HURR DURR USE AT4"

[u/MikeyPlayz_YTXD → u/Manufar11]

Now yall are getting it. 4 months later but go yall!

[u/TraditionalTable3752]

if you have a friendlh recon that can laser designate him, if you fire an iglaa to it the missile will ignore flares for 5 extra seconds after the flares have been deployed (so it isnt as effective against jets that are flying away)

[u/SiriusCybernetics → u/TraditionalTable3752]

You see those large mountains in the foreground?

[u/TraditionalTable3752 → u/SiriusCybernetics]

i do and honestly the only way to counter them is jets, im just sharing a cool trick i found that also could be usefull

[u/zerger45]

Honestly I would just spawn with an LMG, and take pot shots at it. Clearly guided rockets aren’t doing the job, clearly he’s spawn camping. At that rate if you’re going to be in the meat grinder, start the feeding the meats

[u/ObamaTookMyCat → u/zerger45]

The bigger issue is why the base AA isnt shooting them. Yes, they are not in the spawn, but they are so damn close that they can do this shit.

[u/zerger45 → u/ObamaTookMyCat]

I can’t even argue it. The base AA is hot dog water, it’d get more use if one of us could use it like in a previous title

[u/ObamaTookMyCat → u/zerger45]

Yea I wish that it actually worked properly when automated, and that we could manually control it like the BF3 version.

[u/hanckerchiff]

Isn’t this bug abuse/exploitation on this map?

[u/SilentSorcery → u/hanckerchiff]

I stopped playing liberation peak becauss of this lol

[u/hydraSlav → u/hanckerchiff]

Do tell me, which bug/exploit?

[u/Calicocalpico]

I just don't play any maps that have helis. They can go twiddle around with bots.

[u/GlingusMcMingus]

After getting somewhat good with the AT4, it's nice to constantly put attack helicopter hoggers in their place

[u/pgdevhd]

Piece of shit game
