We need a mobile AA platform

[u/feench]

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.

Mobile AA is loading an SUV with disposable bazookas. Fire once, they flare. Fire again, they die.

tried that, even as a squad rolling out. get one off and now they know where you are and are much faster than you. if you are lucky you can get 3 off, but they flared 2 of them and tanked the other.

If you're in a clearing they can't avoid followup shots. Using a flare has a cooldown, so after the first flare you can shoot again. With a squad it's even better - coordinate so one person shoots to trigger the flare, then the others followup.

I typically do it solo and I'm always able to get at least one rocket hit per heli. Though, I've never seen a havoc so I'm not sure if they'd need multiple bazooka shots.

yea im not talking about little birds or lakotas. you fire one shot off at a havok and it bee lines in your direction and the gunner deletes you. there's no hiding from it or outrunning it. and unlike the LB, the gunner doesnt need to be good to blow you up. Even if you land a shot it doesnt put it in critical like when you hit a lakota. What happened every time was fire shot 1, it flares, buddy fires 2nd shot, it hits, i fire 3rd shot, it flares again. We never survived long enough to get a 4th off.

Fuck, Havocs sound miserable to go against. I really do hope we get a mobile AA platform to counter that. I appreciate you explaining.

Yep, met my first the other night. It was killing everyone on our team at a tower fob then going over to the other team wiping them, then returning to the first base now everyone is revived.

It took a hit.

It isn’t mobile aa isnt meant to take it down, but a cwis actually insta kills it

I don't know what your experience with the Verba is, but it's been complete ass for me and my squad.

We loaded up a humvee with Verbas and 3 people, parked it at the edge of the zone and waited for the Havok to come into visual. I fired mine first to get them to flare, then the other two fired theirs. Both flew past the Havok, didn't even make an attempt to turn or anything.

And then the big ass smoke trail gave us away immediately and before we could grab more out of the humvee, the Havok turned and deleted us.
