Trust me, i've tried shooting cockpits when helicopters are hovering and it doesn't work.

It's difficult.

Keep the following in mind:

- Shooting at a moving chopper is a waste of ammo and gives away your position.

- Hanging out near a base and killing enemy pilots upon takeoff is a waste of ammo and a waste of time, as someone else will jump in after. You will also piss off the pilot, causing you to become hunted and taking you away from more important tasks.

- The only reason you should be shooting pilots is when they are hovering flags.

I once shot a blackhawk pilot that was hovering a flag. The entire bird was filled up... it dropped.. blew up... me gets lots of kills :] I had alot of pissed off marines on my *** for the remainder of the round.

i just love taking the passengers out of the BH

Oh and also... I found a sneaky little bug in BF2.

If an enemy chopper gets shot the point that it starts burning (about to blow), I put a round into it with my M95 and get the kills :]

not so much a bug as it is whoring kills

lol i shot a hellie like that to and got the kill, then i was happy and mad fun of the aa gun that could not finish the job because im evil. then i did it again and stoped because it was not funny any more or fun.

My record is using an m95 to hit someone from the roof at the construction site to the farthest Beach landing base.

Well mine was in a mod called Mercenaries (my clan are the creators) and in a certain Mercenaries server (Cobra-BoMs) they have stats on his website with things like sniper kill distances. Now the kill still counts because the mod doesn't make sniper killing any different. it was exactley 412.3m

Thats not a glitch its because the round fired is 12.7mm or 50.Cal which is a damn powerful bullet.

You get 2 points damage from that light .50

That's a lot for a vehicle.

I find sniping to be too random in BF2. Its probebly just me, but I just shoot at the target untill it hits. I lead moving targets, and try to aim high and low on differen shots (someone said the rounds actualy go UP on the M95 in BF2!) and nothing seems to mater.

any tips?

Shooting in BF2 is for **** anyway. I've read a thread about bullet deviation in BF2 and it really is true.
If i aim at one spot with the crosshairs it must hit. Especially when the target is immobile.

i dont even think you need to lead targets, theyre laser beams with drop.

Agreed. It's pretty stupid of them to assume that the average marine cannot shoot an immobile target 10 meters away. Much less a sniper.

May I suggest that the best way to use a sniper rifle in BF2, is to turn it around and use it as a club.

you may indeed, unfortunately they didnt make that an oprion, which would make sniper the easiest class considering none of the weapons can hit anything with the bullets.

You can hit with some weapons, the one on the recieving end just has to catch the bullets You don't need to dodge, they miss anyway. I've seen guys firing a whole mag at me scoring no hit because they don't know how to aim. The next they see is dust...

The best thing that happened to me was shooting the M95 on Wake. I was following a squadmember and shot a round into his direction ( i didn't aim ). The bullet missed him about 10m or more to the left. The distance was the the hill next to the airfield flag to the chinese artillery. The best thing you can do is spray and pray ( 8 of 10 players i encounter shoot fullauto anyway )

not sure if this is my longest, but it is my most impressive.

daaaayuuuum


and probly while moving too!

nice freakin shot!
