Thanks guys, yeah shooting down choppers is a lot of fun, most of them are more cocky than skilled and think they're untouchable when they show up at a cap point and see only infantry so it's always nice to give them a good surprise especially since rockets are give no warning and aren't fooled by countermeasures
I didn't find the XP level up to unlock the rockets too bad, I bought BF4 + Premium in the XB1 Black Friday deal just recently, and then I took advantage of some of the double XP weekends that were going during the holidays combined with some of the bonus XP battlepacks that came free, and in a couple of hours of playing Engineer with the bonus XP I had unlocked the RPG rocket which can kill choppers pretty well too, and then eventually I also unlocked the SMAW which does less damage than the RPG per hit but has faster flight so I prefer it for chopper hunting so I don't have to lead the target so much.
If anyone else plays BF4 feel free to add me, always glad to team up with good team-mates, I play mostly on XB1 since I find the pace slower and more tactical and a lower level of cheese tactics and crying than when I play on PC, but then again maybe my skills are not up to par for PC...
I'm really enjoying BF4 after not having like BF3 much for some reason, maybe it's because I jumped in after it has been out for a while and has been decently patched and balanced, some nice quick fun when not up for the seriousness of Arma.
I want to get it but on pc. If you have that version I'd definitely join up with you. I'm familiar enough with BF3 so hopefully I'd pick up pretty quick on that one.
I've been on a long down period from a game like that but then I get a hankering for some good military mp fun and want to do the xp grind to upgrade my weapons with new shiny things.
