I do remember an old trailer of BC where you actually saw in fps view, the 20mm vulcan cannon.

Now kids, remember, tolerance of other people is important, but only if you want to be treated like a human being, rather than a lalalalalalaed wild animal.

That being said, the aircraft in BC1 are easily enough taken down, and mobile anti-air isn't necessary. In BC2, with the addition of squad sized choppers, aircraft are a larger threat, and necessitate more options to counter them.

Did anyone play Modern Combat. The MEC team at Deadly pass had aa gun. It didn't seem to work well for anything. It was fun as hell to drive.

It was more convenient as anti-infantry. The US Bradley was amazing for anti air though; it had the missiles.

If they can get the balance right of the AA gun vs heli I'll be happy. At the moment the VSS is better at taking down choppers than the AA gun is. Bizarre.

The VSS is just more powerful than a hand gun, taking down choppers with a bolt action is just way better and satisfying. Of course this happens when a support is not in the chopper, then they fly away cowardly to repair the chopper.

Something like 12 damage per shot landed.

I really hope they just take the VSS out of BC2. Getting shot by ANY other semi auto sniper rifle was tolerable, but when I get killed by a VSS, it just lalalalaes me off. Whoever is using that gun obviously has no skill at all.

What you're talking about is the SHilka, pictures of it are in the first page, and in real life you could say its an upgraded mobile version of the Zu-23-2. Of course with four shortened barrels. In MC it didn't do much damage to choppers as it should; that's why it was better for "personal" lol. In real life things are completely different..... chopper is down after one burst of bullets.

Umm I would not consider nor I would promote sniper rifles having that capacity in game besides being able to headshot the drivers as in MC. Why, simple; Choppers would be the "flying dead". Although in real life some sniper rifles are fitted with bullets ment to pierce chopper armour and if hit in the right place... good bye chopper.

I just want some mobile AAA platforms in BC2. It was in the BC1 single player, dont know why they didnt put it in multiplayer, would of been the greatest mobile crate killer ever.

Sniper Rifles like these are the ones that pierce through chopper like cake. (In the photos it's the one that guys in rear back(left) are holding).

Indeed but they would sure notice that and fix to make it perform quick super damaging burst with longggggggggggg reload time to compensate for firepower.

True, true, I just think it was a bad idea it was left out in MP. The .50cal turrets are okay, but the fixed AAA gun is the only real ground threat to a skilled chopper pilot.

Look the Apache isnt invulnerable against enemy fire. A well placed RPG shot could destroy one, heat seeking missiles would destroy one if the pilot ran out of flares, heavy machine gun fire can destroy one.

Even those old russian DSHK heavy machine guns can take one as well with anti material ammunation.

Lol even a plastic gun with a nail can pierce through the APACHE lol..... Nah for real... the AK-47 has been proven to open holes to this chopper cause the armour is so light. Very different to their Russian counterparts. Not syaing the APACHE aint a good chopper; it certainly has light armour as a downside in favor of other things.
