Helicopter EC Mode issues

[Mikoyan293 1]

Hello all, 

 

as you all know, only good way to grind helicopters is Enduring Confrontation mode (Not ground battles, which only give you 2/4 and if you are lucky and land a good victory, an 8k rp game) which is sometimes really fun, but most of the time I get sniped from 2/3 km away with 10.0 helo's AA missiles. 

I myself have the Mi4 and Mi24A (unlocking the A2G missiles). There is no way to counter enemy AA missile fire and I end up killed more than 20 times per match since there are no flares on helos I own. 

It is really no fun. 

 

How can the devs improve this?

you could try some more menouvering i only got the mi24D and A and halfway getting the V so i havent used any aa missiles yet but i never got killed by them as a simple menouvre is more then able to make them not being able to hit you but do you get a warning message? akin to the missle is launched? this is the message of aa missle tracking you

if you see a missle being launched at you but you dont get a warning it means that is a normal handguided missles what are ussable on the mi24a  these can be avoided with good timed menouvres but their accrucy depents greatly on the person aiming them the best way of dealing with these missles is being able to spot the enemy helicopters faster then they can you and taking them out with youre own hand guided missiles but sometimes you get unlucky and you didnt see them but awerness of you suroundings is key in helicopter ec

 

but it would be very nice if you could tell if  youre peciffacly getting shot down by aa missiles or by hand guided missles as aa and hand guided perform quite diffrently

as aa misslis dont have the best range and you dont have to control them while a hand guided missle can reliably shoot at distances of 5km+ and these are very stealthy as you dont get any warning except if you see the missile visably being launched at you but these missles rely on the skill of the person firing them so some people have a hard time using them as they have a harder time aiming

 

but i leave my opinion here of what missle is better and i gotta say the hand guided missle if you get good with them like me they are redicoulesy good as you can snipe with the hind D up to four helicopter with them without them ever knowing you were aiming at them compared to the the aa missiles what give a warning to the target if the rocket is  tracking them giving them a very long time to menouvre out of the way and these a missiles loose their target with very small menouvres and alot of higher tier helicopter have counter measures bisacly making them a paper weight compared to the handguided missiles where there dont exist any countermeasers for and only good menouvering or the incomptency of the guy firing at you will save you

I don't know if you know but Hinds are currently bugged and it's really hard to kill them using AAMs, for example the Mi-24D has an "invisible" IRCM module (it shouldn't have it) and it's impossible to kill it using AAMs thanks to it, other tier VI Hinds are probably bugged too.

So yeah, if are flying the UH-1, AH-1G, Mi-4 or German helicopters you are just screwed because AAMs that are used by helicopters are very accurate.

I feel sorry for people flying The Bus (Mi 4A), just looks sad when you kill them...
