How the hell do you shoot down a heli?

[SCIFIcrab]

I cant hit them ever or they take a full lmg mag

[Maki Nishikino]

Anything will do. If you shoot at it enough it will fly away.

[Senpai-Kun]

rpg or bust, too high of a risk just to shoot at it with a ar, hate seeing noobs shoot aimlessly at helis only to be obliterated by a hail of gunfire

RPG and Panzerfaust is the best way to get the job done, but very diffuclt.

The best way to do it is have two demolitionists at the ready. First one fires a rocket to get the heli to start dodging, second one gets another shot off leading the heli to where it's moving.

It's also incredibly rare, but if you get your ENTIRE team to open up on the heli, it's possible to legitimately drop it with concentrated fire.

I think it's also possible for the Mosin Nagant to potentially snipe the pilot

PICS OR IT NEVER HAPPENED!!!11

no seriously I've never seen that lol

I've wanted to try shooting one down the the DShK on the truck. The only problem is you can't aim up too much with it, so you would have to be further back or on an incline. I haven't had the chance to really try yet, people usually mess with the truck or there isn't one around.

I got a tip in a loading screen that said to aim for the rotors. I guess that makes sense.

I've shot one down with the PKM to the tail rotor. Fun fact: on a real helicopter, one bullet to the tail rotor, if it hits the gearbox, is potentially enough to down it right then and there.

Same. I got the gunship to leave before it even got to fire it's 30mm.


The PKM has a pretty good chance of taking out the helis. Your best chance is when they are first called in since they fly into the map in a straight line.

The Blackhawk is harder to shoot down compared to the gunship due to its more erratic flying behavior while the gunship more or less moves and sits.


Also, just shooting at the helicopters enough seems to reduce the time they stay in the map (I think)

You should try your luck with the rpg or the panzerfaust-3 the main differences is the panzerfaust moves at a faster pace whilst the rpg moves slightly slower but you can carry more of them.

I able to bing it down by RPG 2 time but that is ♥♥♥♥♥ hard.

You'll need to practice your aim a bit on it it can take a while to get used to the lead and the drag but once you get it, it works great.

Thanks for the advice. Can you resupply a panzerfaust-3 from the resupply crate with a tap? Because if you can you can just sit next to the crate firing at the heli.

You have to use the higher priced RPG to get extra rockets. Weirdly enough, you don't start with 2 rockets but you have to tap the crate each time you spawn to get the full potential.

However you have to re-tap the crate if you have a last rocket left in the rpg, otherwise the character will drop it and you have to resupply.
