THESE NOOBS! they think that just because a helicopter, buggy etc.. is faster and has a better gun then a sniper that they should be invulnerable to sniper fire. NOT TRUE. in real life, if a sniper shot an armor piercing round or jet- propelled round at a lightly armored vehicle, the shot would be in and out. The people who think otherwise are WRONG. If you buy a helicopter and are gettin shot at, if u aren;t able to determine the direction the shot is comin from, then dont even buy a vehicle. If the orca, apache,etc... was invulnerable to sniper fire, then IT WOULD RULE THE BATTLEFIELD. Good job westwood!

He's quite right about the rule the battlefield part. The one time this invulnerability theory was tried out, rocketeers were supposed to be the anti aircraft units, and their missiles could heat seek (the map was called City Flying Exp). That didn't seem to stop orca/apache domination on the field, and it was all anyone bought to sum it up.
While we're on the subject, transport choppers don't have enough armour/protection. It's too easy to die, which doesn't equal their abilities if they made their goal. They're not much different than APCs, and much less cheaper because they can't run around killing every soldier that moves. Absolutely anything can attack them and they're defenceless, aside for being able to crush infantry. You see, they were designed n00b-friendly so that "snipers" could shoot them down 7 seconds after they're exposed and have a good laugh out of watching them fall, whilst honing their skills trying to hit the pilot as he falls.
Hell, even thinking about it makes me laugh.

I hate it when I am just innocently flying with my brand new orca and 500 n00bjeters come out and kill my orca! NOW, I think that the power of the Ramjet and Sniper Rifel should be REDUSED but NOT completly! I mean when you are snipeing and if a orca comes and attacks you, you would want to defend youself wouldn't you, i would.
sry i could not explain it well :rolleyes:
The snipeing starts here, and ends here, WITH ME!

I agree with the transports need more armor...

Quite true. Unless of course it hits some armor plates or kevlar inserts. Also, bullets don't explode. They enter and exit. Also, if vehicles guns were anywhere near realistic, 1-3 shots would kill any "character".
Just so you know.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
