A little more info.
Helicopters come every 3 hours. They fire rockets and a mounted LMG at you. Most everyone runs and hides from the helicopter. Some even try to take it down and fail, its happened to us a few times. The helicopter drops loot when destroyed that you can only get from the helicopter. One of these items is the M249 which is pretty much an unstopable force. We use the M249 for base defense and taking down more helicopters. You'll see in one of the videos a barrage of bullets coming from the base opposite of me. This is the m249 in action. It helps take down the helicopter a lot faster. I prefer using the bolt action rifle, because the m249 eats a lot of ammo, and I don't care if it takes 2 minutes longer to kill the heli.
The reason you don't see the helicopter firing rockets at us is because we are using game mechanics to our benefit. Because people used to attack the helicopter from other people's bases in order to get it to fire rockets at said base, destroying walls, they made it so that if you do not have build privileges, but someone else does, it will not fire rockets. You'll see in the bottom right hand corner building blocked. I built the big ass base across from me, so I have build privilege there. We built a second tower where I fight it from, where one of our guys has build privileges. We used to take it down despite the rockets, but its a lot less work post fight without having to farm resources to fix bases. _________________ Blargle Flarg Bergah Merg
