Do Harriers/Heli's target enemy Harriers/Heli's?

[yurdletheturtle]

Quick question.

Do summoned Harriers attack enemy Harriers or helicopters? Apparently they fire missiles at them, but I need confirmation.

Secondly, do summoned helicopter support (Attack Helicopter or Pave Low) attack enemy Harriers or helicopters?

I have seen my Harrier take shots at an enemy helicopter before.
From the source code, there are lines related to the Harrier acquiring and engaging vehicle targets.

Helicopters are often at a lower altitude than the Harrier. None of them will go after other enemy aircraft, they are focused entirely on infantry.

Had a few Harriers kill other killstreaks but only Harriers, never any other streak.

Predator missiles can destroy CP-choppers, choppers, and harriers.
Harriers will fire air-to-air missiles at choppers.
AC130 can destroy cp-choppers, choppers, and harriers.
EMP and nuclear bombs will destroy everything that flies.

CP-choppers are the choppers that drop care packages. Choppers includes all 3 combat choppers. I included everything that everything can kill; if you don't see it up there it can't be killed by that thing. IE Harriers will not kill harriers, and choppers will not kill choppers.

I saw a friendly hind take out an enemy harrier once. It fired two missiles to take it down at about the same speed it would take to fire a stinger, reload, and fire again. It was a bit of a surprise to me as I was expecting the enemy harrier to take the chopper out as things usually play out. Perhaps it has to do with which vehicle is out when the other one comes in?

The Pave Low probably wouldn't have the same behavior because of two MGs instead of missile.

harrier have 6 FFAR missles. First target are enemy vehicles and next is players.

with heli... I'm realy not sure , but first target for helis is players and then is vehicles (if not players in the view)

ive seen harriers shoot down helis and other harriers. never noticed one shooting down a cg130u, but i have shot them down from a cg130u.

i wish they shot EVERYTHING down.

hariers kill ALLOT of stuff. only today I killed like 5 killstreaks with my harier (including a CG, harier was almost gone, he called his CG, and it was gone in 10 sec )
hariers are really good!

I don't really believe this, I've never seen a harrier shot down by other aircraft. Not even another harrier, where I've seen two harriers (one mine one enemy) lurking overhead for their entire duration often in FFA.

1. How the fuck do you get from AC130u to CG130u? Serious question.

2. Yeah man, it'd be totally awesome to work your ass off for an AC130 (especially for the people who don't play as much) only to be shot down by a 7ks as soon as it came in.

You mean just like the CG? ;p

Personally I'm for the AC130 not getting shot down by Harriers. In general it seems like CG and AC130 are balanced by the CG being more offensive and able to get more kills, but it's more vulnerable than the AC130. Looks like it's pretty much by design too.

idk how the fuxtrot are you so foxtrot to not understand chopper gunner + ac130u???
