Those helicopters with long-range agms, after you press the hover key, it takes an average of 10-20 seconds where your aim will be all over the places before you can use them, any tricks like what I need to do before hitting the button to ensure the aim become stabilize faster?
know where you are hovering and slow down before you get there , you can also pull up like a plane with high angle if you have the speed and then hover . also i believe you are talking about MI-24
I was playing arcade assault and I got to test them and it seems like they all take a long time to stabilize when using hover, other times they stupidly spawn me too close to the enemies where the AGM indicated I was out of weapon range and cannot shoot, so I decided to “back paddle” after I already stabilized in hovering, just flew a few km backward and then hit the hover again, another 20 seconds where my AGM sight is all over the places lol
I’ve researched all the ground vehicles in the tech tree, so all the research points are already towards helicopters for a long time, gonna crew my first one probably, maybe the MI-24P because its the first one with 30MM autocannon. And yeah I’ll mostly use them in assault mode.
pull the nose up and cut collective until you slow down to like IDK 50mph and then activate hover, it tries to hover you wherever you activate it so if your slower it stabilizes a lot faster as it has less compensation to do and compensating manually can be a lot more effective than it does on its own
As others suggest . Slow down will make you able to stabilize much faster. In the mean time you can lob ATGM ahead while Slow down and guide them toward target later after you fully stabilize.
