How to destroy all aircraft
By Buttons
So, is that little bird or attack helicopter annoying you?! Well I have your fix right here!! All you need is the squirrel (Wingsuit lady) And the stinger. Once you have these two things when ever you see an aircraft you wish to destroy throw atleast two grenades at it (Don't worry, these grenades arn't what are going to hurt it at all) Once they are thrown the pilot will see an insta "missile incoming" and will either pop flares instantly. If so it allows you to lock on and insta destroy it rather easily. Now if it didn't pop flares you can actually lock on to it and fire the rocket and it will have no clue that you just shot that rocket!! Because on the pilot side all you hear is the "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" of missile incoming from that grenade you just threw.

Thanks for listening to my ted talk

For people who don't like reading (its ok to not like reading)
Wing suit lady
throw tracking grenade at heli
If flares then wait for it to cooldown and shoot with stinger
If no flares shoot with stinger due to the fact its masked by the following grenade

You can use the NTW-50 and use an entire magazine to destroy aircraft also, but while this way is a great way in doing so it only has one flaw, you must be high enough level to get the NTW-50 to even do this method.

(Thanks mbizchan For giving me this info)
Edit:
(I forgot to also say IncediumIgnis gave the info too, sorry!)

Doesn't work anymore since the removal of the grenade belt from sundance. :( This was one of my favorites.

This is whats wrong with the game now.

Pretty sure this is an outdated tactic; UI elements now tell you when you're receiving hard lock-ons, and from what direction. Only thing the grenades could be confused with are Active Radar missiles, which can only come from jets.

Plinking helis with the Rorsche or NTW is almost always a bad idea. You might eventually drive them off with dozens of shots, but continuing to annoy them will draw their aggro. You will eventually be found and obliterated, for as long as the gunner isn't asleep. Honestly, just stick to TGM spam.

Real tip is to use teamwork. Use Rao to hack the helicopter so they can't pop flares then hit em with a stinger

Thank you for this tactic, i find that the aircraft in 2042 are super tough to take down, they get a lot of time on flares and super easy cover that aa missiles cant track around. a good pilot is nearly impossible to take down

Yet another reason why less than 2000 people are playing this AAA game.
