Hitting helos with a tank is eeezzz. Though I'm pretty sure on normal tank hits at least on transport/attack helos are only a disable.

It usually kills the pilot though or messes up their flight enough to make them crash.

TBH helicopters are very hard to play right now. You either need an engineer healing you to survive long in the scout helicopter, and for the attack heli you need things like the TV missile since close combat with the attack heli is a quick way to die on any of the non-urban maps.

2 AR missles don't one hit a helo and blow it up. They will disable it and you can crash , but they do what 21 dmg a hit.

I thought I'd finish off my engi ribbon and I needed a lot of repairs, so I figured I'd hop into the helis since china rising has no attack boats.
In three hours I did nothing but die from...
... taking heli somewhere and bailing
... hovering heli 5 feet off the ground at a flag and getting lit up with a thousand rockets at once like fucking Magneto in First Class
... taking off and crashing three seconds later
... crashing into our other helicopter
... taking one hit and bailing at 80 health
... hovering over multiple tanks, AA, etc
... just hanging out at the edge of the map doing absolutely nothing
In this time I got exactly 0 passenger assists. Not one of these people managed to kill anyone.
I also in this time fired about 1000 rockets from my IGLA for the portable AA assignment. I only ever got credit for one heli - and that was because the guy was hovering over a flag like the faggots on my team. And the pilot jumped out - what i killed was the poor fucker trying to repair. It'd probably have been easier to use the wire guided.

Is it just me or is the hawk12+full choke+flechettes pretty amazing for a shotgun? I don't think I've found a better combo for them yet. It's perfect for my offensive recon class setup.

I think the biggest thing I've found so far (and granted this isn't anything new with BF4) is how incredibly one sided most servers are (85%+) and that most (any?) have no auto-balance. I'm talking usually at least 400+ ticket wins and thats being conservative. It's also amazing how I'm almost always being dumped on the losing end. There are a shitload of players that are playing this like COD, run out in the open, no teamwork, etc. This is also the first BF game I've seen where air vehicles don't rape every map their on.

Yeah, all weekend I was having an issue with the KMA conquest servers ... I'd start off somewhere between 5-0 and 7-0 and then get auto-balanced on my first death to the losing team, which of course split me and my friends out of our squad we're trying to play in together, but I'd also now be on the team with like 1 base and down 200 pts ... after that, I'd be lucky to come out with a 1.0 k/d

The autobalance script servers are fucking annoying, that's why. In order to balance the teams, they swap you out by just randomly killing you, frequently in the middle of a good streak, and plopping you on the other team.
Fucking communist bullshit.
