From what I have experienced in trying to shoot down enemy choppers is that in Arma 3 flares are used sensibly, like every now and again as the chopper circles a target it has dropped troops off to attack..
To defeat this another guy would fire an AA rocket first causing the chopper to fire flares, then I would fire to shoot him down before he can shoot more flares.
This is first time on BI forum so can't start new topic. With a chopper I am flying I would like to angle downwards while hovering or moving slowly when firing at ground targets like apc vehicles. However, when I press W the chopper wants to fly off faster. Is there a combo key press to stop the chopper accelerating? If I fly straight at a ground target my chopper goes faster and faster leaving me little time to hit the target.
