Is it possible to take down enemy recon planes?
I know Mountain division members, at rank II, get immunity to enemy Recon planes. But for all the other classes, that seem to have no way to counter recon planes, is there a way for them to take down UAV planes?
In Black Ops 1 you could use a SAM Launcher killstreak to take down enemy aircraft, including UAVs, or use guided launchers to take them down. Given there is no lock on in World War II, is it still possible to take down a recon plane while it is doing recon?
Apparently, yes, it's possible to shoot down enemy recon planes. According to users in this thread, it's fairly easy to do with an LMG.
Look up into the sky and find the Recon Plane. Shoot at it. Get enough shots on it and it will go down.
It takes like 15 shots max with the LMGs to knock em out. And you get 150 points for doing so, that goes a long way towards streaks
I'm an LMG guy and that's what I've been doing. Big points.
I always knock them down, very easy with the M1 Garand. Others don't seem to bother lol
Beyond the accepted answer, it is possible to also shoot down enemy recon planes with the M1 Bazooka - 1 hit kill (and possibly other launchers, however no personal experience with these). Lead in is required.
