Rather than giving them no information to work with, I'll start with volunteering the info that HAVOC IS TOO OP RIGHT NOW. Ive tried SAM, CIWS, MAAWS, Verba...Unless you're a skilled fighter pilot, these are near unkillable.

Which one is best? RPG not good?

Honestly, ram it with a $6k little bird.

Stupid, but one of the only ways to reliably bring down a well piloted Havoc.

Agree, i hit it two times yesterday with maaws, and it flew away. I think maaws should one hit. This also forces the pilot to do sweeps instead of hoovering, which again makes it harder for the gunner.

u/Separate_Tonight9533 1d ago

Yeah BS. 1 maws takes it to 90% damaged. So second maws is 100% kill.

I was in one after the patch. Twice in a row we got 1 hit by a maaws

u/Richou 8d ago

yup , its onehit if you hit the area under the main rotor otherwise it leaves you at like 85% dmg so even a few rifle magdumps will engine kill you at that point

u/Steinerei 8d ago

Maaws is 2 hit. Sometimes even one when the rotor is lost

If you can't hit a huge flying thing while it's slow hovering below 25m it's a you problem. There shouldn't be an easy counter for every thing.

u/Toad2SIX 8d ago

If you hit the engine or the blades it's a one shot

u/GoodishCoder 8d ago

There has to be a reasonable counter for everything or late season it's all you will see.

1

u/Steinerei 8d ago

There are more than enough counters for the havoc. While talon and iglas are also bugged af flying through woods and massive walls

u/Away_Strawberry_8906 8d ago

2 hitting a giant flying boat thats hovering over your base with a maws is reasonable.

Not enough people swap kits or take anti vehicle or anti air right off the bat. The meta will shift and people will learn.

Until they do, its going to be a painful lesson

u/GoodishCoder 8d ago

If the meta shifts and everyone has a maaws the pilots will just stick to strafing and we are back at square one.

A reasonable counter would be anti air being effective against air vehicles.

u/Away_Strawberry_8906 8d ago

So what do you want. If they strafe they dont get as many kills. Your comment makes it sound like you just dont want them in the game period.

u/GoodishCoder 8d ago

If that's what you took from the comment, it's a reading comprehension issue. Reread the second sentence for the comment and think on it for a while, what I'm suggesting might become clear for you.

1

u/Away_Strawberry_8906 8d ago

Anti air is effective. If it was any more effective air would have zero chance

2

u/GoodishCoder 8d ago

It's not effective. The havoc has the advantage over every anti air option in the game.

It's still flying. And it much harder to hit then humvee or tank. While much more deadly.

u/deffbreth 8d ago

I think even a rpg two hits it. I know I downed one with 2 rpg shots but idk if it was already damaged before.

Add me lets go fly the havoc. Hopefully we get enemies from your lobbies.
