My Heli Theft Attempt

Recommended Posts

ok, my story begins one cold night in chernarus.

I log in at my camp and decide i need ammo, only 1 thing for it.....NWA. So after about 30mins of running i arrive and begin to scope the place out frm outside, all looks clear but always cautious i decide to wait a few mins. About 10 mins go by and i decide im safe to go in and head towards the north baracks.

I have only been in the baracks seconds when a global convo alearts me that 2 ppl in a car may be heading my way. I quickly dart into the trees and start moving away to the north. All of a sudded a i hear a car....and im still deep inside NWA. I go to ground and stay completly still trying to locate it.

A few seconds later not 1, but 2 cars fly past me....so close that i thought they were trying to run me over. But they head over to the fueltank in the nw corner. As they diembark i realize that there isnt 2 but 3 of them...and they have found a heli by the warehouses on the tarmac.

I decide i need a heli so i whip out the old m24 and take aim....my 1st 2 shots miss(must have had my zeroing wrong as the crosshair was right on the guy) I quickly reposition and fire again....still no joy. Next a global message comes trough "You rly think you can take on 5 ppl"......shit! i thought there was only 3 :S. I have commited to this now so i reply "I will try:P" and on my 3rd volly get a kill.

A couple more repositions and i have perfect line of sight on someone by the heli.....missed my 1st shot and the guy goes to ground and starts combat rolling....2 more missed shots. Now they return fire in my direction (fire thats suprisingly accurate frm 600m away with an lmg). So i decide to get close again and move back to my orgional position inside NWA.

I take 2 more shots frm inside NWA....both miss. Then out of knowhere frm behind me is an explosion of lmg fire.....crap! iv been flanked!....only thing i could do was run like hell for the only cover i could see...the NWA wall. I take sevral hits but get away.....not in good shape now bleeding and about half blood. Decide to take the long way round the outside of NWA in hopes of finding an animal and flanking these guys.

 

Unfortunatly i took to long and when i got there they had gone....however i had shot the glass on the heli to stop them fuelling it. So i check the warehouses and, woot!, glass. I fix MY  heli tongue.gif and fly away.

Gotta say to the guys i was shooting at you were great sports about it and that has gotta be the 1st time iv been activly chatting to the guys im having a war with cheesy.gif

Also i learned a lesson.........never trust the sights on the m24 sniper  rolleyes.gif

nice they thought they could take you,they were wrong in the end they had to run away even though they had you out numberd.

 

You won in the end got a heli and killed some of them you showed them who was boss and thats all that matters. 

great job! i wish I was good at pvp most of my kills are we killed each other in a fire station but still......they are something.

Iv had so many of those :)...remember one where i heard the guy creeping up to the big red door at bottom of tower....we both froze and reloaded at exactly the same time. Couldn't see eachother but we defo both heard eachother reload. Then i decided to charge out as he decided to charge in....both dead...epic fail, but big lols :)

I think the lesson learned should. Be "zeroing, extremely useful"

 

good read nonetheless. Makes me want to play public hive.

Learn to gauge your distance better. There are a number of ways to gauge distance with a sniper, using the mildots is a good way if you practice doing it on zombies. head up north by pobeda or the north west corner of the map if you want some privacy, then find a wandering z and try and zero him. Keep practicing and you'll be great. Also, remember that you gotta lead your target if they're moving, and always, always, piss into a urinal so that you counter the coreolis effect.

 

Fuck the coreolis effect.
