roberthammer 582 Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Am sure if you hit HE round in the Turbine or rotor - helicopter like Old Huey /Uh-1H/ goes down btw SUV with minigun and AA-12 are realistic btw2 if you look at trailer about AA-12 "Matilda" - he hit the main rotor and then after few rounds hits the tail rotor > huey goes down Edited April 28, 2011 by RobertHammer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liquidpinky 11 Posted April 28, 2011 Am sure if you hit HE round in the Turbine or rotor - helicopter like Old Huey /Uh-1H/ goes down The explosion shockwaves could probably cause temporary or possibly catastrophic deformation of the rotors within it's radius as well, bending them enough as hit off each other or parts of the chopper while spinning. If the heli was pulling a high load maneuver and was already near or past it's operation envelope it could be enough as tip it over the edge and into a wing or airframe failure scenario. HE rounds have more consideration than just shrapnel damage, shockwaves do damage as well. It would be like hitting some turbulence even if no physical damage was incurred, like a light form of Flak.

max power 21 Posted April 28, 2011 A helicopter's rotors are very heavy. The HE rounds hitting that steel plate in the video did not a) penetrate the plate or b) move it. I really doubt they would disturb the rotors enough to cause a boom strike. I would be highly surprised if they disturbed them much at all, really. So in the case of the HE hitting the skin of the helicopter near the turbine, sending shrapnel in if it is able to penetrate. The shrapnel hits the engine casing and?

stgn 39 Posted April 28, 2011 I just went to see the aa12 in arma 2 on youtube and it does not seem at all heavy on recoil in fact it seems to have less than the video you linked, which had a large compensator on the muzzle. STGN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beagle 684 Posted April 28, 2011 The only real quirk with that AA-12 is that sniper rifle like range of the HE rounds...they should autodetonate after 180-200meters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wipman 1 Posted April 28, 2011 Hi, i just will like to know where that psycho on the video bought that pimp T-shirt of "i hear voices on my head but they speak russian", is almost as pimp as my Dead Kennedys T-Shirt or my Wellcome to New York DUCK T-Shirts.

Darkguerilla 10 Posted April 28, 2011 Could they down a helicopter, though? I have my doubts. Would definitely scare the **** out of you. I do believe they said maximum effective range is 300. I've shot it quite alot in-game and to hit someone at 500 is nearly impossible as 1 out of every 10 rounds *might* hit. Please keep helicopters and other A2OA vehicles and their unrealistic qualities out of this thread. Do some study an make your own if you have problems with other unrealistic things **THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR REQUESTING A PATCH FOR THE AA12** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
