Pilots kit which elected the same way commander is?

[RingPirate]

I just wanted to hear how the community feels about the idea of implementig a pilots kit, which is the only kit that can enter planes and choppers and which is elected the same way commander is. The idea is to get rid of all the spawnkilling for those assets the crowds of players waitig at the spawnpoints of the same and thus maybe making it a little less tempting for enemy pilots to go for those points. This would probably also help the teamplay of chopper pilot and gunner.
On the flipside players that play on a daily bases would have a clear advantage over others (although those people are usually also the better pilots. Just vote and maybe say why?

Edit: Just wanted to add here that electing a couple of pilot kits would of course mean there can only be as many as seats in jets and attack choppers are available

it really isnt that good of a way to pick whos gonna get in or not, because even with the commander elections, you can still get a complete dip.

Not a good idea because:

1. You'll have half your team standing around the airstrips and helipads in non-combat gear and circle jerking.

2. If you have to eject, what do you do to a- defend yourself when you encounter enemies and b- get back to the airstrip/helipad?

I like that you're thinking, and a piloting kit has been discussed before. What would be nice is to have a limited number of certain kits per map based on team size. You could make it so that the number of seats available on your aircraft for your team equals the max number of pilot kits available.

well i am not the best in plane or heli but if there is a kit i will never ever have a chance to fly. I wouldnt TK for a jet but if theres an empty one i do try my best in it. i dont like this idea at all

You could make it like the commander, if he's killed he's still commander. There would be maybe 6 pilots on a map with 2 jets and 2 attack choppers. Anyone can still fly transport helis

The current system is ok. What really needs to be done is to make TKing at the airstrips disabled (or atleast in the vicinity of aircraft) as there is absolutly no logical reason for a TK to occur here.

I think its a good idea, then 20 out of 32 players arent sitting around losing the match so they can get a plane or heli joyride.

It won't work. Then those people will just gravitate towards APCs and tanks. I see it happening enough now as it is. The only way to fully solve the problem would be more vehicles per map. Hopefully the next patch will do something about this although I doubt the commander will be able to drop any aircraft. Would be nice to drop a mig at the end of the carrier so you can lock on to anything that spawns :)

Your reasoning suggests there's a "Pilots Kit", which there is not. The way I understood what the poster wrote is, he would like to see Pilots elected in the sameway commanders are, ala Apply + Rank = My Jet :p. right? There is no Commander Kit, it is a postion from which you can play any class. Too think a "Pilot" postion would leave the player defenceless is nonsense.

I think this is a good idea, unfortuneatly I don't think it will happen. Too many Jet whores who've changed there names soo many times that most of them are Master Gunnery SGT at best . Also, if you thought Mutiny voting for Commander is bad Don't even go there! Finally, and sadly, Tanks/APC's will be next.

How would that affect transport helicopters?
I think the whole voting idea is kinda stupid.
Sort of a waste of time.
What if you spawn and see a plane with no one near by.
What are you going to do Suicide and get -4 points or just TK someone for there kit and get -4 points or just leave the plane along and let so other lucky guy get it.

Re: Pilots kit which elected the same way commander is?

I think it is a bad idea. What’s going to happen is let’s say, there is one jet and a helicopter, so supposedly you can elect 3 pilots. Now let’s say all 3 pilots want that jet. That means 2 pilot class people are going to be waiting where the plane spawns while the attack chopper just sits there not being utilized by the team. Also if you elect pilots then that means that they have to fly the whole round, which would mean the jet or helicopter is basically reserved for him so no one else can go for it, and as we see with noob commanders we will start to get noob pilots. Usually with enemy jets up it is not good to have a noob pilot fly around in circles and crash into a mountain and die while the enemy jet easily rapes everyone. Now if your idea is implanted that noob will keep getting the plane and crash or get shot down over and over, but if everyone is able to take a jet there is a better chance that you may get a good pilot who can take down that jet, and in doing that turn the whole game around. So I think that it is a bad idea.
