    Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

    I rarely get killed by stealth bombers.  I do stay as far away as possible from my teammates though, so that might have something to do with it.

     

    Sometimes they confuse me, though.  One time I'll look up and it'll be right over me and I won't die and other times it'll look like it's not even close to me and I'll die.  Oh well.

    Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

    What about the first shot off taking down the Strafe Run is one flare for the entire fleet then your second shot gives you one pointstreak?

     

    With the current pointstreak reward for taking down the "Strafe Run" the Strafe Run in my opinion is doing more harm than good to your team.

     

    You're better off using the Reaper or AH6 Overwatch

     

    Becuase the attack helis have veteran bot like aiming in this game, they do not deserve flares, i was killed through the hole in through roof in the building near B on Bakaara... i was a bit angry.

     

    Whenever I use the Attack Helicopter, it either gets shot down instantly (not complaining by the way, I'd do the same thing) or I get 1 or 2 kills if no one is bothering to take it down.

     

    I think the increase in power of the Attack Heli came from the complaints on how weak the attack heli was in MW2. (Who wouldn't use it over the Harrier Strike? )

     

    Back on topic:

     

    I don't know what it is about Stealth Bombers and buildings but I cannot catch a break from them even when I'm dug in one of the buildings similar to Dome, Underground. They always find a way to kill me

    I always carry a stinger. So yeah every time the enemy calls in a strafe run i'm like sweet free predator. Since i use hardline all the time too if i hit them right i'll be one point short of my heli too.

    Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

    Well, as you said yourself, that was solely a bug, meaning it was never meant to have been in there, thus it was more of an exploit people took advantage of until it was patched. When it showed up due to that bug, the Stealth Bomber didn't seem to do anything EXCEPT to those stupid enough not to move for whatever reason.

     

    Now a lot of such people, like with all the complaints about Assassin being too powerful, are probably upset that they can't instantly know where it's coming from and hardly ever get hit by it, and actually have their streaks interrupted by it now more often.

     

    Not saying that's you, but like with those who rebutt (see; insult, bash, name-call, etc) the people complaining about Assassin, I can only say "pay attention more" or something. On more open maps, it's usually just as easy to spot from a distance as it is for its bombs to hit you, which is why the opposite is true in that being in a more covered map makes its potential killing effectiveness drop quite a bit (thus showing its Support role of distorting and such more evident).

     

    I tend to get more consistent kills with the Assault Killstreaks (like Precision Airstrike, the most commonly compared to Killstreak) than I ever did with the Stealth Bomber in all the times I have used it before. As said, usually 0-2 on average, maybe even 3 kills sometimes, but 4+ is a rarity to me without a "perfect" setup and/or a very stupid enemy team and those types of teams are more the types who are not complaining about it, I'm guessing.

    no, when its starts dropping the bombs then use the EMP it will stop dropping them

    Re: Stealth Bomber: Needs a Tweak?

    Hey Esy,

     

    Sheaths rarely get me. Just listen of the approach noise and run of cover if stealth approaching from say north min cover is say crouch on south side side high concrete wall.

     

    Suggest walk maps and learn your cover points.....survival is possible. Hence gallp does not support nerf.

     

    You'll be fine......good thread ;)
