I've done some testing of various things with friends because some of your guys claims were outrageous.
Javelin will not take down an AC130 in one rocket, -period-. The only way that would ever happen is if your teammates already exhausted it's two flares.
RPGs take 3 hits to knock out a full-health Pavelow.
Freefire missiles (AT4 w/o lock on and RPG) do NOT trigger flares.
Javelin will curve to avoid a helicopter that has activated flares, both when it's going up and when it's going down. The only way a Javelin can kill a helicopter with flares in one hit is if the helicopter is near a some sort of scenery high in the air and the Javelin hits that (and then the explosion will knock the copter out).
PAVELOW KILLSTREAK COUNTING. I'm going to go with definitely only the first one called in any match. Extensively tested out all the theories for it, only the first one of the match counted. Tried getting kills before calling it, tried calling it in and then getting kills, tried letting a teammate calling one in, tried letting an enemy call one in.
It took me 6 RPGs to hit an AC130. Definitely not impossible, and again no flares were released.
You can kill your own killstreak rewards (assuming you aren't too busy controlling them to shoot at them). While you can't lock on to them via rockets, you can use an rpg on them or dumbfire your AT4, you can use bullets, or you can use predators/ac130 to knock them out. When you kill them, no box comes up saying "Xplayer destroyed Ykillstreak".
On the contrary, you cannot teamkill killstreak rewards, period. Even a direct hit with a predator missile or 105mm round won't do it. The sole exception is using an EMP or Nuke, which knocks out all non-nuke killstreaks. One thing I forgot to test was if the EMP knocked out predator missiles or not.
