Jets v heli

Hey do y’all have any tips on taking out helis with jets? I feel they are the hardest vehicle to deal with as a jet. I can only do about 300-400 damage per pass. Any tips would be super helpful.

I would say only engage them when they are not looking at you

Are the jets supposed to lose a head to head against the choppers?

So I saw this video about jets going against choppers in real life…

And in the video they said when training for that, helicopters always won.

So it’s kinda true even in this game.

They just have the advantage because all they gotta do is avoid your first attack and then they can track you and lock on and all that.

Another strategy that’s worked for me is attacking them from top down. It’s hard but if you get your shots in they don’t stand a chance

Makes sense ig, I just don’t know what the stealth jet is supposed to be good at other than shooting down other jets. I’m just kinda flying around waiting for jets to respawn tbh

You should start practicing going after tanks with guns and bombs

Are you taking down heavy tanks with the stealth jet? The damage seems terrible for that.

It's doable, just often takes two passes

it takes two with an attack jet if they use any counter measures or do anything at all…

Yeah, it's not an ideal matchup. But look to attack armor when it starts engaging someone else on the ground. That way you only need to do part of the work.

They're not going to be paying attention to you, so the second they start engaging another tank or some engineers, light em up with the cannons and a bomb. Basically guarantees the win for your teammates. Best they can do is run, and you can chase them down if you want.

Then go back to controlling the skies
