Battlefield 3 Message Board  

So I'm on the mission where I have to target the guys running away and the plane goes right over them and bombs them, yet they don't die. I am just told "Great kill" and other things to that nature. Anyone else have any issue like that?

you have to make sure you place the ''Crosshairs'' in infa-red directly on them. even if your a little out.. can cause the Bomber on the gun-run to miss. ''Right click mouse'' for Zoom to aim with better precision. Hope this helps.

I've tried that quite a few times. It's as if they aren't even there. I'm not going to give up though I will try it again today. I really want to play through the campaign since I've already started it. Thank's for the tip though!

i think you mean the Mission: "Going hunting"

there are several ways that seem to work:
1. remembering the position of the heli, shoot it and immediately shoot the same spot when it's possible
2. shoot between the bunch of red spots
3. reload and try it again
And the last way, that worked for me:
4. Reload, shoot the Helo WITHOUT zooming in, when the runners are there, zoom in and shoot the walking spot.

Had the same problem. closed the game, then closed the trainer and restarted the game, problem got fix.
