Hey guys, I have a QQ. So when I get killed by a harrier lets say, and I switch to my air support class w/stinger, it won't let me skip the killcam. Why is this? I have to wait longer, i thought it was some kind of thing to let the harrier have a chance(?)

mattv2099

Same here. Figured the same as you. It'd be too cheesy to suicide and then immediately respawn and blow the harrier up.

I guess its okay, i was just curious. I don't really think there should be a penalty, especially when its a pavelow, CG, or AC130...i mean there are so few people who actually die to take down air support

btw: i like your accuracy percentage LOL

gca

Yeah I noticed this too. It is almost as stupid as having Stingers miss randomly.

If you want to put powerful killstreaks in the game, fine. But let us get rid of them ASAP.

Hmm I never thought about this but yeah whenever I get killed generally by a KS I go to switch out to mah Stinger class it won't let me skip the Kill cam.

lol,
/thread.

but i think like if I saw the air support go up, and then switched classes right then and there while alive so that i could get it when i spawn again, i think it lets you skip. have to see though...

Making fun of his accuracy?

Hell, I'd be glad if my accuracy was as "l33t" as his...

i mean its 1337!

Alphabuster187

No shit, just noticed that... probably made up.

How do you switch out? I dont think you can on PC...or am I just a 7th prestige that has no idea how this game works?

pantstofry

On xbox its the start button, pulls up your classes. You choose the anti-air class and it says "your class will change when you respawn" so at this point you can either be aggressive so you die or you can kill yourself. Another option is obviously to have OMA.

No problems skipping the killcam here! Just press "F" and I'm straight into my new "anti-air" class.

All it takes is a corner + tac insertion + g18's and you can have 13.37% in no time.LOL.

nope. I just spray with the glocks to keep it at that.

When u shoot at a plane or ehatevr ur shooting at it and it misses it's not cuz it misses randomly it's cuz the plane or heli shoots out it's flares which work for 2 things in real life
deflect missles and illuminate the ground bellow
the missles are heat seeking missles
and the flares are hot as heck so then the missle u shoot at it goes towards the flares and not the attack helicopter or pavelow or harrier or ac130 or whatever

sideways60

Except Harriers don't have flares in this game!

I've found that if you aim at the centre of the Harrier, where the exhaust ducts are, then I almost never miss one. Even while it is turning.

Well everything else has flares idk wats up with the harrier
probably has some pilots that know some like super evasive manuvers or sometjing like

I always seem to miss harriers at least once on Rundown. It missed 3 times once, waited for it to be locked on (have a bad habit of trying to anticipate the lock on and spam the fire button, doesn't work). That was a ragequit moment.

Alphabuster187

I have missed up to 3 times also, with a Stinger...

That's what I meant. Only happened on Rundown to me on the side of the river with the petrol station.

pantstofry

attack heli doesn't have flares either. Lately i feel like it's been harder to take down harriers than CGs...

sargeant_inferno

I think I've gotten them mixed up with pavelows
either way everything but attack helis and harriers have flares

jamesmsv

I've noticed it happens more there than anywhere else as well, although I've started seeing it a lot on Salvage too.
i had a very weird one the other day where the stinger veered off course as they sometimes do and as I was aiming with the second missile I noticed the stinger was circling the harrier like an electron round an atom (very much like the IW logo in fact), as the harrier went to fly off it connected and I got my +300.
