    People that go for choppers

    Why does it seem, that about 90% of all the people that enter an attack chopper, have no idea what they are doing..? lol... I can't get a good passenger no matter what I do.. If i'm pilot... I get a guy who doesn't know how to work a camera missle... and will shoot cannons at tanks.. and if they even know what a camera missle IS, sometimes they will shoot it, and I just see the missle go straight (So I know they don't know how to work it ).

    If i'm gunner, I get a guy who goes straight PAST the AA... tanks.... cars.... helis.... (puts his back to them) and flies around like a madman, going 100mph past people... doing really random movements... while he expects me to actually kill people, and he thinks "gunner position" is where you look to aim a camera... or the crosshairs.

    (If you didn't know... in between the gunner position and crosshairs, but slightly closer to crosshairs, is where you aim the shot for the camera)

    Kind of stupid... lol, but I just don't see why people will TK for a vehicle, and then go off and just die within 5 seconds... I actually had this happen. I was on vent. with a friend, I was gunner. My friend got tk'd, and right after takeoff this guy rams into a BH and we die.

    People should practice in single player, before they go off into a game and not know what to do. The people that suck, I don't care.. everyone has sucked at one point.. and I just go with it. But it just so happens, alot of people that aren't so good happen to TK for things (jets...helis... you name it).


    Are there any good pilots here that like wake (I prefer gunner)? And by good, I mean someone that stays back from the action, aims me for cameras, gives me a steady base for gunning (by steady, doesn't mean you can't strafe, I just mean the jerky movements), and has awareness of what is going on around them.

    Oh well, if you think you are a pretty good gunner or pilot and you love Wake, go to a server called "Dedicated Wake 24/7".

    I only fly helo's with friends, that way I know they're not retarted and I can talk to them on Teamspeak.

    If none are on, I can occasionaly find a decent gunner or pilot, but I usually look for higher ranks. (yeah, I know higher rank doesnt mean they're better, but they probably have more experience...probably) If I do find a decent pilot or gunner in a random pub, I'll usually ask them for their xfire name and add them to my friends list...

    Just one more guy you can team up with instead of that noob who tries to tickle the underside of a tank with a chaingun.

    *add* - Just one more reason to solo pilot!

      Il go choppering with you, depends on how good the server is admined and ping time for me. Won't be able to play for a while tho depending on how messed up my comp really is (I think vid card is either ded or overheating)....

      And yes I find it funny that ppl tk for the chopper and then just get in and turn over and explode or do basically exactly what you said, fly around and shoot rockets at nothing and make random movements.

      Its hilarious and infuriating at the same time...

      Look me up on xfire, the username is ijust so add me....

          The same thing has been happening to me too. I'm not a super pilot or anything but it seems whenever i get into a helicopter, i either have nobody come gun for me even though i ask, or they aren't very good. The same for when i become a gunner. I don't really mind if they aren't that good because i don't really care about my score. But it is alot more enjoyable when they are good. And now that i've fallen in love with using the helicopter, it ruins it when we get killed every few minutes without really doing anything.

          and also,
          People should practice in single player, before they go off into a game and not know what to do.
          How do you practice in single player? I remember trying to but all of the maps were in 16 player mode and no helicopters or planes were accessable. So i ended up just practicing on an empty server with friends.

              I mean creating a local server and just practicing basic things.

                Dalian Plant has a heli in it on SP.
                You have to capture a control point and then it spawns.

                      Re: People that go for choppers

                      im not the best heli pilot.....but i usually get gunners who shoot the tv missles into the water, or a building...and when a tank/heli/APC is insight, and i keep it right perfectly lined up, they shoot the machine gun....

                      or i get that pilot who flys over everything, not giving me a chance to shoot, or switch to tv mode....and keeps their back turned to enemies....even after i say "BEHIND US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" or they fly into a building, a tree or the ground....

                      we were all beginners....i remember on wake when i was beginner, i would jump in a blackhawk, and let it fill up, only to flip upside-down and crash into the water.....killing everyone...

                      single player map to try is dragon valley..they got the heli at woodyard or something i think its called

                        That's all I have in response. My sentiments, exactly.

                          Most people are noobs. Period. Even a few people in the top ten don't know how to fly things like planes or even choppers. Kind of sad.

                              lol the chopper is rediculous. No wonder people crowd around the spawn-point hammering their use keys to try and get in first - they happily take 2 stingers and simply hover over their pad for almost instant repairs and re-arming. It's a joke, and also why on a map with choppers, the chopper whores will ALWAYS be in top three at the end of the round. It's like planes.
                              They do offer some mild satisfaction if you manage to handle the M95's horrible inaccuracies and headshot the pilot, but apart from that they are just a pointless spamming pain for everyone else because they are so over-powered.
                              A complete nub can get in a chopper and end up with a galactic KD ratio. All it proves is how dedicated he is to getting in the helo in the first place - that is the challenge.

                              EA / Dice have obviously taken note of the craziness because BF 2142 will see an end to all this, fortunately.
