Contest...killing air support

Played NCFishboy, gorilla5454, u404398, Obticeo_SICARIUS, and secundum-artem. Good games.

As well, seems it was a contest who could kill air support the quickest. As quick as I could get my Stinger up someone had already shot the air support down. Makes it a lot easier playing when you don't have choppers or something raining fire down on you.

I bet the other teams were pretty pissed.

Last night on the one game in which I was not running blind eye nobody was running a class with a launcher.....Those helis are brutal without blind eye

I keep the stinger hot. Sorry if it gets a little repetative hearing me say "I'll take out the chopper" or some variation........ I've been called a few names by the other team after some games.

Bingo...I will never get sick of a teamate saying such things! It's always good to have guys willing to go after the stuff in the sky. One night walldog and I were having contests for the airsupport that included dueling sam turrets...

I love shooting $hit down....kinda sad when someone beats me to it but glad we're all looking to help each other out. Wish they had a title, emblem or something for the Stinger. And I'm honestly suprised how many people still run air support considering how easy it is to shoot it down, esp. when we stay in a lobby for a few games with the enemy team...you think they'd learn after 1-2 matches.

Yea I was just trying to knock it out of the sky befor Fish could lastnight.

Yup I love killin' air support, either stingers or the mac daddy EMP!!!

Even started using the trophy system, gotta love those predators that go thud!

Lol I remember that. I don't normally run SAM, but for some reason I had it equipped and I kept forgetting to change it to CUAV. For a while I think we had two or three right next to each other.

Yeah, gotta watch Fish before you waste a rocket, he's quick on the draw!!

I'm pretty sure there is a Stinger emblem. I got one for I think it was shooting down 500 enemy air supports or something to that effect. I guess it wasn't specific to Stingers, just an anti-air one.

Only crappy thing for me right now is that I've recently prestiged so I'm really missing my blind eye pro and my quickfire stinger!

It's the most satisfying sound in the game...when that predator comes down and you hear "POOF"!

I run stinger on 4 classes. I whip that bitch out and aim before that heli even hits the map. Down before it gets a shot off.

I've yet to use the trophy because I usually run Blind Eye, but it must be fun to set up shop under it. I was thinking of setting up a class with Ex. Cond, Assassin and Dead Silence plus trophy and just race to B in the beginning of the match, every time. Just pop out the trophy, cap the flag and then your teammates would be there in time to defend it if you got popped.

I just started using the assault class more often with hardline and sometimes blindeye or SOH. Also when capping flags even with blind eye people will drop a predator if they hear loosing B. I have wasted soo many EMPs waiting for the last osprey drop or stealth bomber to shoot down. I try to watch the score and drop it no later than 195 points in DOM games but sometimes I forget and eat an EMP.

It must have been Dome? That was the only one I didn't run with a Stinger.

I'm sorry if I robbed somebody of a heli kill on Hardhat. I heard somebody call out that they had it, but nothing happened, so after 10-15 seconds I took the shot. I figured you were suddenly occupied.

I like to lie prone and deploy the Trophy System when capturing a flag. It does help with the stuff raining down, but it also seems I frequently go unnoticed for a time under the thing when the enemy comes running up. I deployed it when in final stand last night and I'm pretty sure it lifted me off the ground - sort of had a floating sensation. I do like the poof! Even better is a second poof! when they try a second time (with the reaper). After that it is time to go.

While there is a certain joy in dropping a EMP and clearing their toys outta the sky while they watch them crash in a pile of flaming rubble....

Your EMP lasts a minute (I think), you could drop it at 150-175 and keep the skies completely clean for the last minute of the game. I know it is fustrating when the enemy blocks the last minute of my game..

Yep...this happened to me tonight...I really wanted to break out my own EMP and couldn't....guess my damn cell phone didn't work or whatever it is we use to call in streak rewards...

Where are you guys at on the number of aircraft taken down?

I just got my 1000th the other day while playing with clannies. They knew I was close and cheered when I got that 1000th.

Yea the last minute of the game thing is valid but you get more points if they have stuff in the air and use it.

Do you get the points for every killstreak you bring down? The same points as if you shot it down? That could be a mega XP machine.. I think I have only used the EMP once so I am not familiar with it.

Yes, you get points for the EMP, plus points for the uav, auav, stealth bomber, air drop, care package, ect. That is why I love to save them to not only get the xp for using it plus the xp for downing the aircraft, but it is also a big slap in the face to the person that worked soo hard to get the high killstreak reward.

A question, how do you find out how many aircraft you have shot down?

edit: not sure if the xp is the same as using a stinger and shooting it down but it is more than just burning the emp with nothing in the air.

I started shooting down choppers with my gun and blind eye pro today...very nice...the ah6 went down pretty easy, even took down an osprey...thanks for the tips!

I have been taking down the airdrops, usually 3 stingers, now 2 stingers and a mag or two from an AR or SMG.

AH6 goes down in less than a clip with BEP. Not even worthy of a Stinger shot. That thing is made of Chinese Plastic and Balsa Wood. It hangs low, so it's tough to take out on some maps, because of buildings and such, but it is uber wimpy. It is effective on maps like Mission because it is so hectic they have little time to look up and shoot.

I'm going to start changing killstreaks based on maps. Open maps like Village, Outpost, Interchange I'll run Bitch Bomb, Precision Airstrike, AC130. I'll make it tough for the opfor to take out my KS.

Smaller cluttered maps I'll do CP, Bitch Bomb, Heli. Much harder to shoot down a heli when you have to find a gap in the buildings or trees.

Yea, that is what I am doing now FBD.

I have different classes set up for the different maps.

Some maps I do not even bother with BEP and the stinger because, like you said, it takes too long to find the aircraft/chopper, or there are too many buildings.

I have 8 custom classes and two tokens. One will probably go for another class, and I am thinking of using the other on the Trophy System.
Just prestiged again and I miss it a lot.
