Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad V5 - Rising Storm - Games

Was playing VC on Hill 937, and I decided to go AA gunner for the initial phase. Hopped on Delta's DShK and started gunning down the cobra pilot on the other team. After getting a rather amusing kill on him where he crash-landed near and ran at me before I blew him away, the guy began to votekick me. The reason? I was apparently hacking. What's even funnier was that after two failed votekick attempts and me and some other dudes explaining that the DShK is more than capable of shooting down helis, he finally kills me with a strafing run -- then, just as I respawn, I'm finally kicked. Wasn't even mad. :saxout:

Fuck me the coolest thing is getting your whole squad dropped off from a Huey and being under fire when you hit the ground. Yeah I die a lot when that happens but it's so [I]cool[/I]

If people thinks it's cool to get shot and die, the game has done a good job

[QUOTE=the_killer24;52298337]obviously if you win both then you win but team score tiebreaks on draws[/QUOTE] We lost one and "won" one, but I assumed that if you lose more objectives that's the first factor in the tie-breaker. But its instead based solely on total team score? So because we dragged the fight on longer despite losing more territory we won anyways? That's kind of weird.

They really need to fix that damn victory screen so it makes sense to anyone.

We managed to completely shut down the Hueys on Valley. The bug where the RPG kill is awarded to the pilot as a TK is still active. No one wanted to fly because they knew they'd be walking into a +60 respawn timer. Sucks tho, I lost 4 full birds worth of double honor :v:

I would like it if we are some how able to reposition the DShk, I don't mind if it took forever to dismantle, or how it would slow your character speed. I forgot the name of the map, the one with the long ass rope bridge. The gun barely has sights of the sky because of the dense trees, I've seen cobra/loach pilots just destroy the gunners everytime because they know where the gun is and just strafe or spam guns through the trees and I can't shoot back either because I get killed from the intial run through the trees or I literally can't see where they're shooting from. I've tried camping nearby waiting for their first strafe to go by then quickly hoping on the gun, but that barely does a thing since they're gonna be long gone by then. If they were to even get a whiff of someone on the gun, they'd just go behind tree cover AGAIN and light up the position with guns. It's insane how good some pilots, so many times I'm like "aww shit, I hear some helis in the distance" and I train my gun in that direction then suddenly my whole spot just gets lit up equal to a spooky gunship.

I wish they would add the Strela because I think helicopters need a better counter than just RPGs and DShks.

I've found using just a regular LMG can be effective. [url]https://streamable.com/q2v4a[/url] [vid]https://streamable.com/q2v4a[/vid]

Any tips for the DHSK? I can't hit shit with it, even if I just aim by using the tracers

Flying the cobra and as I die, it just decides this war is stupid and takes the copilot on a ride [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29YG5VNoZSs[/media]

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;52300216]Any tips for the DHSK? I can't hit shit with it, even if I just aim by using the tracers[/QUOTE] Zero it to 500m and zoom hip fire it.

[QUOTE=inebriaticxp;52298000]How long do i have to grind to get those sweet tats[/QUOTE] The first one unlocks at 60, so if I've played 15 hours and am level 21, it'd take around 40 hours of gameplay, assuming the experience required to get to some of those higher levels doesn't spike super high. Oh, and that's on the double XP week, too.

Am I the only one who can't see shit when ADS with the M16 Also whats the point of foldable stocks? More mobility?

I wonder what's wrong with the M16. It's like the character puts the stock to the middle of his chest just because he's following a moving target. Last time I held a rifle, that did not happen. The sway is weird

[t]https://i.imgur.com/pCjp4Xu.jpg[/t] The bug is still there I see :v: [editline]1st June 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Citrus705;52300813]Am I the only one who can't see shit when ADS with the M16 Also whats the point of foldable stocks? More mobility?[/QUOTE] I can't remember which has faster Aim Down Sights speed, but stocks change the speed at which your aim comes up IIRC. It also changes how much you zoom in, thus giving you greater perception of your surroundings. And yeah, peephole sights like what is on the M16 do cut off what you can see. It's why I prefer the AKM's sights the most out of all of them.

Why does it seem like half the Vietnamese squad leaders don't know how to place tunnels?

Kind of makes me sad that you can have an entire round of dominating the enemy team but lose overall because of of some magical score system. We just played a map and had most of the flags the entire game and had the LZ's locked down so any huey's attempting to land just got ambushed but we lost overall because they did better in the previous round :C

[QUOTE=Citrus705;52300813]Am I the only one who can't see shit when ADS with the M16 Also whats the point of foldable stocks? More mobility?[/QUOTE] Ontop of what clark said, having the stock folded makes it so that you can bring the gun closer to you before you put it down when aiming against a wall, both in ironsights and from the hip. Easier to stay sighted in in cramped spaces.

ehhh i kinda not digging the soundtrack I'm mean i like the some of the tracks but it just idk i was kinda expecting to be more like BFBC2 Vietnam's soundtrack

Who needs marksman class when you have a double barrel sawn off [VID]https://i.gyazo.com/388579f9a25f2cabd9ea601335204f35.mp4[/VID]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KtemBxh.png[/IMG] he was in a helicopter

Man fuck the scoring system, who thought of that dumb idea. Should just be best of 3

So I don't own the game but I was wondering if the helicopters support joysticks?

[QUOTE=-Rusty-;52301535]26m isn't exactly a far distance[/QUOTE] I've often gotten 60m+ headshots with buckshot, even with the sawn off variant. Shotguns are incredible in RS2. [editline]1st June 2017[/editline] By incredible I mean actually somewhat realistic compared to their usual portrayal in games.

So, I just witnessed my helmet saving me from a bullet going through a thin metal sheet just now. I'm actually amazed. Sadly shadowplay wasn't working so I couldn't get video proof, but oh well.

[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;52301108]Why does it seem like half the Vietnamese squad leaders don't know how to place tunnels?[/QUOTE] Whenever it's me it's because I'm looking for a good spot and then I get killed before I find it, and I don't think it's worth the effort to put one down 40m from spawn while I go look for a real location.
