dragon01 902 Posted September 25, 2011 At the end of this mission (forgot the name), you can take Matilda from Dixon, he says that it should work well against UAVs. The problem is, it doesn't, as the ammo he gives you are HE slugs, nor buckshot (which would have made this mission much less frustrating). Is that a bug, or is it supposed to be like that (in which case it's pretty stupid, and it should, IMO be patched)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragon01 902 Posted September 26, 2011 Tried with a borrowed PK. Not easy, and I got shot annoyingly quickly. maybe with AA-12 this would be more effective. But still, pellets would feel more approbate (as of now, you never get to really use them). You don't go hunting birds with slugs loaded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
That guy 10 Posted September 26, 2011 the accuracy on those UAVs is terrible. i dont think i have every been hit by one. you will see for your self next mission... to win that mission i dont think its even fully necessary to shoot or kill any of the UAVs, you just need to take cover and give dicky enough time to "hack" them. i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon01 902 Posted September 29, 2011 I've managed to shoot down all but one (after many replays), and in the later mission this one was very effective at killing bad guys (though they finally shot it down, but after that, the mission was rather easy). Anyway, I just wondered if it wouldn't be a better choice to give player some buckshot instead of slugs. If you have a PK, AA-12 isn't that useful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kireta21 13 Posted September 29, 2011 With M60 and aiming by tracers, shoting them down is a childplay, unless one falls on your head or on protected SUV. Much bigger issue for me was to figure out why mission didn't advance after taking shelter in ruins, or advanced and instant Mission Failed. After many frustrating restarts I realized I'm not allowed to shot them all down... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ast65 10 Posted October 3, 2011 the accuracy on those UAVs is terrible. i dont think i have every been hit by one. you will see for your self next mission... I really was wondering if the latest beta broke something concerning the next mission (PMC 07)... the spray radius of the UAV is 50 meters at least, I was barely able to shoot at least one of the incoming bad guys :eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
