Armored Vehicle/Helicopter/Gunship/Tank Weakpoints?
Are there spots on these vehicles where they take more damage from a .50 cal?

The rear of any armored vehicle is the weakest point. The belly of a chopper is it's weak spot.

.50 cal, it doesn't matter, just like 4 hits or maybe 5, with rockets, weakest armor is in the rear or on top.

It works great to shoot at a helis engines, or snipe the pilot if you're very good.
For tanks either the backside, or, if that is obscured, the turret (doesn#t make sense with IRL tanks, but works ingame).
The Bely of Enemy choppers can actually be one of their strongest armored sections with the better ones.

Oh, and the .50 cal snipers only need 3 shots and a little bit of time to let it burn for the best tanks, 1-2 shots for everything else. (for jeeps you can even shoot them i nthe tire and they'll blow up)

I'm not a big fan of stealth, but it always seems such a waste to destroy something that I can have for myself, so I fulton everything "fultonable". Actually I think it's easier to just fulton a tank than start a fight with it. Wish I could fulton helis too.

The thing is (and the main reason I made this thread), I've come across gunships that take over 20 shots with the fully upgraded .50 cal before exploding, which is ridiculous because that's over the amount of shots the .50 cal's supressor can take so I have to resupply ammo to kill a single gunship without detection

The pink choppers/tanks/IFVs are kind of the "boss like" versions of the regular ones. Also, it shouldn't take more than 5 shots to bring down even a pink chopper with either .50cal. 20 shots means you suck at aiming.

That's the thing, I don't miss, I hit 15+ shots with 100% accuracy and the things still don't die

Then upgrade to a CGM 25. Problems solved.

I just complete mission 28 yesterday, the chopper is so hard to kill. I went through 300 ammo from grade 3 UN-AAM machinegun.. kinda, like 4x the health point of the regular gunship you encounter in Hellbound.

I'm curious is the red gunship basically the enemy equal to a fully buffed Pequod?

Fully buffed Pequod dies from one shell of a red Tank, I had to fire 4 CGMs to kill the red Gunship. So the Gunship is much stronger than the Peq.

It's not fair that the red tanks are stronger than your tanks...
