The Gunship needs to be positioned properly by the player, making it harder to aim, whereas the Chopper Gunner moves in a predictable pattern on its own, allowing the player to focus solely on aiming. One cannot use the Attack Dogs when using the Gunship, and the Gunship serves an extremely similar role to the Chopper Gunner, which needs two less kills and doesn't conflict with any other killstreaks. The Gunship is a wildly unpopular killstreak. The missiles can also be used to clear out larger chunks of land of possible enemies. It also may be effective to locate the enemy spawn and hover there until it changes, making it so that players using ghost are visible and easily shot, or likely to be shot in fire meant for other enemies. A wise tactic to prevent being shot down is to target enemies that are staying still, as they are most likely trying to get a lock on the Hind with a launcher, as opposed to targets running for cover. However, if the enemy does not shoot down air support at all, then the Hind can easily destroy the entire enemy team in seconds. Most players will switch to an anti-air class as soon as the announcer calls in a Hind, effectively destroying it seconds after it is called in. The effectiveness of this killstreak depends entirely on the competence of the enemy. The Gunship is often best used on objective gametypes, especially modes where Spawn Trapping can be utilized, as the Hind can be piloted and hovered above the enemy spawn for maximum kills, instead of in Killing-based modes ( Team Deathmatch and Free-for-All) where the enemies' spawns often change, needing the helicopter to be moved.
ARE THERE FLARES IN GUNSHIP III UPDATE
This update also affects the Chopper Gunner killstreak. This means when enemy players spawn, there will be a delay before the red squares (or diamonds) are seen around their bodies making it more difficult to spawn kill.
To balance gameplay, the Gunship only comes equipped with two missiles at a time (however, they will automatically regenerate after a while), but has unlimited rounds in its nose cannon that doesn't overheat.ĭue to a patch, the Gunship now has a red diamond render delay. As such, the Gunship flies at a very low altitude over the maps, which can lead to it being easily shot down. However, like in Payback, the player cannot control altitude.
