Subject: Why do vehicle gunners in BF3 feel the compulsion to shoot at aircraft

*scratches nuts*

I've disabled helis with the gunner before

And I've taken out at least a hundred jets and helis with the tanks main gun

(To discuss Halo 4.)

-I have destroyed many jets/helis with tanks main gun
-Machine guns, whether they are on jeeps, tanks or even boats can do serious damage to helicopters.


Each bullet does like 1%-2% damage minimum, say around 20 hits when the heli is vulnerable can possibly disable the heli, or more importantly prevent health regen.

In fact, I remember one time where I completely destroyed a heli from 90%+ health to 0 with a machine gun.

Jets, yea, I agree. Turrets are quite effective against choppers though.

Because I have hundreds of helicopter and jet kills from using the mounted machine guns on tanks and jeeps.

That's why.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

But constantly spraying bullets at an aircraft halfway across Caspian Border is not effective, yet that's what randoms in my gunner seat always do.

Australia pulls host over USA fyi

Who needs to shoot?
I've taken down attack heli just by driving a jeep.
Get 'em in close, then drive in ever-increasingly smaller circles.

Pilot tries to follow you and generally ends up a little overcommitted.



Also depends on what gun you're using.. a good string of HMG from a tank or humvee can do a respectable amount of damage to aircraft.

The Game

I've shot down plenty of damaged aircraft from the gunner position of ground vehicles. Hell, I even shot down a couple of helicopters that had full health.
The pilots usually suck too much to do anything to stop me.

Because it works in the movies
This.


When I play BF3 I'm constantly shooting in the direction of the enemies in hopes that they blow up.

It gives me something to do till we find something.

People still play BF3?

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

Have you taken out a jet with a SMAW/RPG yet? SO REWARDING


Ever killed an F-35 with a DPV?
Now that was funny.
