A few nights ago I was in a round of Operation Barracuda on the PLA side. My squad had assembled a Firebase on the northern side of the island and one squadmate was manning an AA station when a Hydra Huey made an attack run at our location. The Huey missed and the AA returned fire... Here's where it gets buggy.

A few seconds later, the Huey landed on the carrier to re-arm and repair, while 15 of the US team lay dead on the carrier including two Transport Hueys that had been spooling up on deck.

Watch the video to see how it all went down

I know this is not the first time that errant AA missiles have struck targets beyond their intended victims, but I have never seem them Time Warp like this, nor have their explosions been forceful enough to kill infantry standing upwards of 10m from the impacts.

Shockwave ?

AA missiles are very good anti-infantry.

AA missiles are buggy, they do a lot of weird things, never seen one kills 2 choppers though

And whi does it takes 2 missles to destroy one huey ?

it takes one...u saw it in teh video....it jsut depend on where it hits and how far away it exploded from the chopper

Same reason you can blast an enemy tank six times with AP rounds and not hurt it very much.

god that was freegin cool lol

From what I see, it looks like the AA missile barely missed the target, and after whizzing past it had another heat signature ahead of it to home in on, aka Huey-splode #1.


That doesn't explain Huey-splode #2 though. I'm guessing shockwave? lol

lol, I like how the Attack Huey came in and was like wtf???!?!

But yea this happens on Muttrah too, Huey comes in carrying a AA missile, tracks off, hits the reloading Cobra :/

Don't know how the 2nd one died, maybe that AA guy launched both missiles and the 2nd explosion was that, BUT somehow the Attack huey also got to the point of smoke....Guess we can just title that video 'EPIC SHOCKWAVE' or 'Invisible Sandwich Smashes Huey'

Big *** missile

Ye its the ultimate BF2 missile bug...
