Worst threat to your aircraft?

[MrYenko]

Mine is tanks. It seems like some of these tank gunners need to get out of the armored branch, and into scout/sniper school...

You forgot the ground in your list....

[Nate--IRL--]

You also forgot the Pilot too......... Biggest reason for me not completing a mission

:lol:....yeah I have that problem too.

[Kwill]

SAMs definitely, AAA are pretty much a non issue.

[nachomaga]

I voted Tanks. But a lot of times I crashed trying to evade SAMs. Thats the SAM? or the pilot?

 

Lol... the other day, in middle of Georgian Oil War Campaign, I take off, turn to the first waypoint and crashed doing some strange maneuver. In 30s! hahaha......

 

So I´m agree with the others, the first threat is the pilot.

[th3flyboy]

You forgot one, the pilot of said aircraft....

[TangoRomeo]

1. overestimation of own capabilities

2. bad decision making

3. bad execution

 

To sum it up, the pilot. :doh:

[EtherealN]

Worst single threat to my mind is aggressive enemy helos, but they are uncommon enough that SAMs definitely are the largest overall threat to me.

 

The other day I got jumped by a few SAMmed up HMMWS while flying terrain masked, ran like a bugger and ended up right in front of a different sam battery which promptly relieved me of my rotors...

 

...That's what you get when you decide to do a flanking maneuver into unscouted territory. :P

Other helicopter in close combat. The auto-pilots start to fight with you when you try to track his ass.

The worst threat to my aircraft in combat?

I am of course, I do not mean I will shoot you down, I just mean that I do not need help crashing, colliding my blades, hitting the ground, getting to close to armor... you get the point :D

[Boberro]

Biggest threat is myself :)

[Grimes]

Worst threat is physics and its evil plot to be unyielding nature when you try to break its laws.

[Copperhead]

An infantry man packing a portable heat seeking anti-air missile.

 

The LWS doesn't illuminate. A rising smoke trail is your only form of warning.

 

If you see it in your black shark's rear view mirrors, better start lighting up the sky with your flares.

[Feuerfalke]

Biggest threat is myself :)

 

:megalol:

 

I'd vote for that option for sure!
