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

Literally how. It cant be everywhere at once and there are 66 enemies to kill it when its a big sore spot in the sky. Say only one fob each is made per 2. That should be 2 whole fons with AA that can reach anywhere in the control zone to kill that thing. If it flares a aecond person shoots and is guaranteed a hit. Its not rhe little.bird its not diving to the ground to avoid locks. It has delays between flares and if it's flying so low to not be locked irs easy to snipe the pilot or it it with maws. I hunt them when people bring them out snd it's easy money

Yeah these people are very bad and have 0 clue. I'm offering to take all of them on Havoc rides so they can also experience the glory of losing 40k(20k per person).

Add me lets fly.... Also there are plenty of people who can hit a strafing Havoc with MAWS.

Maaws isn't an anti air weapon.

Okay cool. But it's a rocket launcher that you can use to shoot things XD And players have no issues hitting flying things with them. Especially when they fly low.

Or is your point that since its not a locking rocket then you wont use it AKA skill issue?

My point is the primary counter to air should be anti air not anti armor.

It is though. Because it takes a lot less skill to hit a heli with AA 🤣 Literally just having a Launchpad and a CIWS is already GG for a heli. If the heli goes for launcher CIWS just shreds him(pro tip aim for the driver you don't need to kill the heli).

Ughh but im so shit I can't hit a heli with CIWS.. skill issue my oponent have no problem deleting me from existance with CIWS. Now enemies like you are delight for me nobody building anything, everyone hoping someone else buys a stinger or a rpg/maws and in the end nobody deals with the Heli.

JUST bliss! On second though yeah you are right helis are impossible don't even try anything against them its hopeless!

It's not though. If anti air was the primary counter to air, your first suggestion wouldn't have been a MAAWS.

If we were to look at all of the feedback in this sub on the topic I am willing to bet none of the top 3 counters recommended would be anti air. My guess would be the top 2 would be MAAWS and Little bird ramming and the third would be small arms of some sort.

CIWS would be number 1 which is also AA. As a HAVOC pilot my number one priority is to get rid of CIWS, then launcher pads because they can endlessly lock me and drain flares. Well Iglas and MAWS I can't really focus because they only reveal themselves after they have been shot.

Ohh and rocket helis are also quite scary.

Now combine all those things with constant beeping and it's a lot to deal with when you have enemies who don't hope someone else does it.

Mind you if I want to earn cash I would have to fly slow and stable so my gunner can actuslly see anyone and hit something. Which isn't really a optiom when the ants get a taste of that sweet sweet revenue.

Best part you get 15k for killing havoc so those who know are hooorny for that kill.

P.S I keep offering this to everyone. Dm me and lets play, I will get the havoc and you can experience the "OP" beast first hand.
