How *bleep*ing good are these? Choppers and jets fall out the sky in no time when using these. Pretty much useless on anything else though but bloody handy in protecting your team from raining bullets.

Is that similar to the javelin? If so, then yeah, they're pretty powerful, it's why i don't see much point in Helicopter's and the like in your kill streak as they can be blasted away in 1 second where as with the Sentry Gun and Bombing Run etc you can get at least a shot.

Well if you are playing with random people online then everyone will just rage and yell at eachother to shoot it down but refuse to do it themselves.

The other day I had this guy flip out after getting killed three times by an enemy helicopter: "You all *bleep*ing suck, you can't even shoot down a helicopter!? Wow you *bleep*ers suck dick at this game" He finished the game 11-23...

30?...I have a while to wait then. I'm not too concerned about Choppers and Harriers at the moment, they've not been as devastating to me as the COD4 Helicopters. The only maps where they would be a greater problem, such as Afghan and Wasteland - I've been on the better team so haven't been battered by them.

Do Stingers lock onto the AC-130s? That's when they'll be particularly useful, those plans rip through teams like nothing else. I stole one from an enemies Care Package earlier, I was *bleep*ing jolly

Just got 400exp for taking out a Pave Low

The effectiveness these is going to catch on and soon there will be nothing in the skies.

Takes two shots to take down a AC-130. First shot makes the AC-130 use its flares and the second shot takes the plane down.

I've only used the first launcher, its pretty good. I use it to scare UAV's away, get it to lock on and the UAV flys away

I had no idea the UAV navigated the air, I've been checking the ground for them . Suppose I should have though about it when I launched a UAV.

Good to hear they target AC-130s, I've not been killed by one yet but based on how effective they are when I've used them, they could be infuriating.

Heck Freaking Yeah.

Stingers are on all my classes.

I ALREADY leave NOTHING in the skies.....except my Gunships.

Kind of off topic but I'll say it anyway. I was using a missile earlier and a bloody chopper flew in front of my missile on its way to earth and it did not meet its target However the chopper was in tatters

uav = unmaned ARIAL vehicle

i have yet to get a stinger, but i can see it replacing my AA-12

I found it quite useful in campaign. I look forward to getting them in PvP.

I have to wonder though if stingers are this good what is the point of the javelin. It still has to lock on to something so you cant shoot it at people so it cant be any different than the stinger

the at4 still shouldnt bve able to lock onto ac130, helos i get, but it is a fairly short ranged [/b]unguided[b] missile
