I am error
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was online yesterday, and I heard some friends saying that if you set hardline as your perk and have care package/emergency airdrop as your killstreaks, you are more likely to get UAV's & CounterUAV's than when you call them in without the Hardline Perk, because it was easier for you to get the required kills.

According to them, with Hardline set as perk, you're chances for getting an AC130/ChopGun out of a package would be a lot smaller...Eek

Can anyone confirm this or are they just supersticious?

It's all based on probability, hardline would not affect this in any way Smile

Care package Drop rate
14.78% - UAV
14.78% - Ammo
13.04% - Counter-UAV
10.43% - Sentry Gun
10.43% - Predator Missile
9.57% - Precision Airstrike
6.09% - Harrier Airstrike
6.09% - Attack Helicopter
4.35% - Pave Low
4.35% - Stealth Bomber
2.61% - Chopper Gunner
2.61% - AC-130
0.87% - EMP


I don't think that's right, i get AC130 allot more than chopper gunner and i get an attack helicoper more than i get harriers. Plus, i've had three EMP's in the last two days doing the care package glitch, and by those percentages that means that i've thrown roughly 345 care packages in the two days.

I'm going to test it using an emergency airdrop, dropping 100 crates and posting my results. If i don't get every single reward in the first 100 crates, i'll do 200 and take an average.

it isnt based on by how many care packages you throw, its individual % based from each care package, although i do agree, its prob not completely accurate, as i said i cant find the original post, they were closer to the actual percentages

Isn't that the same thing though? Individual probabilty is the same as collective probability in that as the number of packages thrown rises the probability (percentage) also rises.

And to get an individual probabilty percentage then the most logical thing to do would be throw a high number of care packages, preferably something extreme like 10,000 and take note of every single one, then take an average and turn it in to the percentage. 10,000 care packages would give a pretty accurate result.
