pivads vs attack helo

[Mr.Dr. -_>]

Hey, i deleted the pivads out of my deck for the following reason. An attack helo eating pivads shots like it's diner. After 30secs of railing the helo it lost 2 hp. LOL what is ur opinion about this useless radar aa?

Don't have the problem with the Gepard 1A1 and Roland 3.

Pivads is nothing more than a bait for SEADs, a cheap one. Feels like it should do any damage, but all SPAAGs except for gepard and zsu-57-2 spit fireworks in direction of choppers.

The Fla-SFL 57-2 of the East Germans is also very good.

i think the best way is to use a combination of Stinger and Pivads because both are cheap units ,,, Pivads to stun and Stinger to destroy

Just that the Redeye is like tossing a coin, you don't know how many rockets you have to shoot until you hit one. I was so lucky that he didn't hit one of 6 rockets.

but is it even remotely realistic? i mean if you hover over some small arms your rotor will get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ so what about an AA gun w 30mm bullets shooting at crazy rates? an attack helo should not survive this... right? This game is dumb

Guess one should not appeal to realism, as 2 stinger rockets deal more damage than KUB's missile. SPAAGs don't even do damage to infantry, though in ARMA it's a killer machine in open fields. In Red Dragon tunguska can even kill Abrams, denying it's ability to do anything by raining down HE's. SPAAG's entire purpose in WARNO is to finish off 1hp planes after I-Hawk 9hp hit

ye i did not play this for the realism either but come on... helo's should not be able to do that lol. U should be able to play according to what feels right, this is entirely knowledge based freak ♥♥♥♥. If you have an radar AA unit with +1200 fire rate, u should feel like it can beat a helo.

[Mr.Dr. -_>]

the whole game is knowledge based like that, appart from the wierd rng ♥♥♥♥ where aa misses all 4 rockets, and i don't like it.

I used it in wargame to i thought, it was a nice unit i thought but cant remember it correctly. Why did they make it so wierd now? the whole system is wierd because of that it feels like.

Some time ago SPAAGs were literally annihilating airspace at glance. As balance goes back and forth, it's turn of helicopters to dominate the field and pivads are a joke
