Avoidance | Weapon attachments Battlefield Hardline Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

A great threat for the pilots of attack helicopters, in Battlefield Hardline, are shoulder-launched, self guiding FIM-92 Stinger rockets. These are distributed around the map so, they can be picked up by the player of any class. These are the "Fire and Forget" type of rockets and the only thing that the operator needs to do is lock on the helicopter. If practice, the only means of defending against them are flares, but they take, as long as, 25 seconds to reload.

 

It is due to the threat posed by the rocket launchers that you should keep as close to your base as possible. Immediately after you hear the lock on sound, you should interrupt your attack, and use flares if the rockets have been launched, after which you hide close to your base. You can hide behind a mountain or a building. You should not expose yourself up until flares gave been reloaded. While waiting for that, you can repair the helicopter, if it is damaged.
