Cobra Hellfire Elevation

Mora · 2008-03-07, 16:17

The current hellfire cam on the cobra cant go low enough. I understand it for the gun but why does the hellfire has it too? It makes it REALLY hard to actuality shoot the enemy on high altitude because you cant aim that low.

The Havoc has it correct and there are no problems with it at all.

So can we get this fixed or is there a other explanation for this?

been away from the game for a while...

how low do you mean? it shouldn't go lower than {i dunno... maybe} lower than 60deg?

Updated with a video. I know its still hard to see but when you are in game you can easily notice it. Its very annoying

Apache FLIR should be able to look pretty far around, including under and somewhat behind the aircraft. It's simply a FLIR on a rotating mount, it has quite a range of movement.

Thats not the point. The cobra's gun cant fire that close to the chopper. Let me do a quick draw with paint

(its not really accurate but you'll get the point)

Yeah, cobras at a disadvantage there. To fire it has to go lower, meaning you get shot. Go higher and you can´t fire enough down.

ye the cobra is only good at hunting enemy havocs down atm. It should be changed

And fix the unzoomed cam of the Z-10 too while you are at it.
The problem with it is that you can see the helo's nose while unzoomed and it blocks out your view pretty much. The nose disappears when zoomed, however it can be pretty annoying. Anyone else noticed this?

Oh and x2 on fixing the Cobra's max angle. Let me try to explain also: on Kashan around 500-550 feet high, hovering exactly above north village, facing towards the bunkers i can see the base of the mountains, and cant go lower with the cam, while being in a Havoc at around the same height I can almost see the flag itself im hovering above.

The cobra is SOOOOO mutch faster and agile than the havok..
