How do we beat anti air turrets? | Forums

[vikingstone]

I have been trying to get more helicopter turned in but it seams like almost every time i get on one there is a anti air turret next to the turn in point. I tried flying super high didn't help and i tried flying so low my wheels touched the ground and it still got me. I also tried destroying the anti air turret and then getting the helicopter but it just re spawned and that still didn't work. Is there a way to destroy them and keep them destroyed? This is a game breaking thing for me, not fun to get destroyed every time you get into a helicopter.

Non pas de solution a ma connaissance c'est un peut dommage dailleur je trouve. Mais quand tu vole en rasmotte elle te détecte beaucoup plus difficilement.

D'accord, merci

The best way to beat SAM turrets is to...

STAY ON THE GROUND!

There is no way to beat them. It is not in the Dev's vision to increase the Spawn time or to give us countermeasures to fight them.

Unless something changed, you can still fly above their reach but you need to make sure it is really high. .....wish I could be more specific. I would try YouTube a there may be a video so you can get an idea of just how high I'm talking about. Unless something changed in a recent patch, this worked for me when traveling long distances of SAM territories.

Hills, mountains and ravines are also your friends. LOS (line of sight) is where they will get you no matter how close to the ground you are. Even when you're lit up, breaking LOS at that point is no guarantee you'll be safe.

When stealing helos, be sure to spot and disable any SAMs on the base and have an exit plan (e.g. and escape route down a ravine, behind a mountain, etc.). As for respawning sites, it can happen and usually (IME) when they are a little distant from the objective (although others have seen them respawn when close as well). IN the end, there is no delay on the respawn of SAM sites and they can be a real pain the butt. ....but you get used to them. We relied heavily on helos and used them successfully in all provinces.

What chopper are you trying to steal? There are some bases that are very difficult to do this in.

Hope this helps Viking.

I am trying to steal the helicopters that give us resources. But i will try to go a lot higher maybe that will work. Thanks.

There is usually a route you can take to avoid SAM sites. If you get stuck, give me a shout which one and I'll show you a path.

I'd take up AI's offer. There are routes you can take with each. Simply going higher may get you shot out of the sky if you're in a SAM-rich environment. Altitude is your friend when entering those areas (not while in them).

I have stolen every resource aircraft in the game so I know there is a way to get around it. I recall a small airfield that is a landing site surrounded by a deep canyon that is the landing site for one or more of these mission via plane. In that case I found that gaining altitude was best since the province where the landing site had SAM sites. I would fly past the site and then approach from the far side of the strip, diving in before I could be detected.

That's just one example but all of these pick up and drop off points have ways to get in and out.

What platform are you on and what region?

This small airfield, kean?

This is how you do that one the quick

Yeah, I think that's it. I usually fly high, pass the airfield a bit and dive in. Usually never even get lit up.
