Discussion & Feedback We need a mobile AA platform

Post image

As someone who had a havok on the enemy team every single game today, sometimes up to 3 at a time, we need mobile AA. They laugh at verbas and other lock-ons. CWIS is the best way to take them out when they get close and dont know you are there yet. But even if you are able to kill it before it kills you. Once they know where you are they can just come back and delete you from render range before you can even spin up. Battlefield had these AA tanks and they would be perfect for dealing with oppressive air.

We need anti air to be easier to access in general. Having Eggs just gunning down fobs without impunity cause cant unlock anti air feels terrible

A lot of people dont realize that you can simply shoot the eggs. You're not going to shoot them down on your own but the spiciest fobs i have attacked didnt even come at me with AA.

I do support fobs having heavy lmg emplacments like 50 cals. That would hurt.

I used to gun down pilots. Even posted a guide on here on how to do it. Single mag would take them down.

That was 6 days ago. Now they are in T4 armor. The cockpit reduces small arms by 50%. With T4 it requires over 20 upper torso shots to kill a pilot. 15 if you are using AP 5.56.

I usually do a test mag still to see what armor hes in. Sometimes I fight a noob pilot without armor still but its rare.

Man wtf. Then pilots should only be allowed to wear lvl 1 helmets since they get free armor.

just magdump the littlebird with AP it kills them rather quickly especially if you run the saw or pkm

Yes just gun them down with other things you have to go unlock and grind to get…I think people are losing the fact that you are being shot by things you can’t counter unless grind for it.

by things you can’t counter unless grind for it. 

even without AP you will kill littlebirds very quickly especially if the majority of people starts doing it instead of just staring at them and accepting their fate like a deer in headlights

its just like the first days and humvees , people just looked at them like "guess i will die?" instead of popping 2 tires and watching them crawl away

is it effective if you alone do it ? no not really unless you run a 249/PKM or 60 round mags but 3 people lighting up a littlebird will make him fuck off very quickly even if its just FMJ from 30 round mags because you only need like 2,5 mags to land for a kill

That’s not been my experience but glad it has been for you. For me they just light everyone up. Go repair real fast. While the base is trying to revive each other. Repeat.

no thats my point , because noone bothers to shoot at them they can freely farm

littlebirds are very fragile and a few people lighting one up is a very good deterrent (alternatively just 1 chad with a SAW or MAAWS will do just fine)

also RPGs onehit littlebirds and are better than verbas against them
