What is the best way of taken out a gunship without being found out?
I'm about 24 missions in, and the gunships are starting to bug me. I'm able to work around them, but it's a pure pain. Unlike real helicopters, the thing can stay up forever (where as real attack helicopters tend to have a 2 hour gas life).

So my question is, what is the best method to taking one out without anyone finding out that your out there?
(I've tried snip the person driving it, but it seems like the game won't let you. Again something I can do in the real world that I can't in game)

Request a support heli?
And taking out pilots is Quiet's job.

Honeybee, mark heli with it, go behind cover, fire out of cover when you can't see heli, crawl away

Rocket launchers seems like a good solution.

Other than that, cover shooting is your only few options.

They will know I'm there. On top of that, that AI is crap. Most of the time the support goes after anyone on the ground before it takes out a gunship.

On top of this, everyone will know I'm there.

In the real world, they may think something is up when you shoot the driver and get them to crash it. But, for the most part they don't know you're there because they do crash from time to time.

Because you gave him guided anti-ground missles, right?

Quiet, with her big rifle (not the tranq, obviously)...

It's funny how you point out how unrealistic the choppers are, but then you want the guards to not notice that their chopper just crashed...

Edit: They do not "just crash" for no reason IRL.

Alrighty. You have a few noisy options.

-Make noise somwhere else: Plant C4 and use it as a decoil to make the chopper see what's happening there.
-Shoot it with the high caliber sniper rifle. After one or two bullets the chopper will flee.
-Smoke grenades: He won't see through it and you ld be able to escape.
-Shoot it with a bazooka.

Sadly i know nothin' about stealthy solutions. Just crawl and don't get spotted...

Stay behind rocks or somewhere they just can't see you. Use anti-materiel sniper or really powerful rocket launcher to get it down with just few hits

What I mean by them not knowing you are there. They don't know exactly where you're at, and they do crash a lot. You just don't hear about it

Also, I'ved tried that. She didn't even come close to taking it out. In fact, the game had to pull her out

Did you use her ENDGAME rifle, the lethal one that is more powerful but has no silencer? THAT takes out choppers but she has a tendency of not shooting them when on cover stance, try spamming the fire order.
