    Am I An *******?

    I really enjoy playing maps like gulf of oman, especially when I'm piloting the cobra. In the event that I do manage to pilot the heli I down right refuse to take really low rank gunners. I look at their score thus far in the game and generally if it sucks I wont pick them up.

    The other day this happened with a corporal who asked for a ride. I said "no sir" and flew away so he called me foul things and I just ignored him. Is it really that bad to not want to die from other peoples incompetence? I mean i'll gladly take on someone who knows what a camera missle is but half the time these guys are a liability.

    [edit] what I should have mentioned is that I already flew with him and I based my decision on having died essentially by his hands. I'm sure a lot of you heli pilots will know what I mean.

    And yea I know "how are they going to get better if you dont let them try" - well to that I'm sure they can find some other crappy pilot to die with.

    I certainly dont whore the vehicle the entire round at any rate.

    So is it that bad that I dont have a death wish?

    yeah your an deleted and if you did that on my server you'd get kicked.

    some people are low ranked because they started a new account. Rank means jack, some people play on unranked servers. You're just an deleted.

        I totally agree with you. 75% of the time I can do better without a gunner then with, of corse this is not true of people that can actually gun like my main gunner =]-[f=ElJefe. Its just that if you are a gunner and are going against another chopper if you dont use TV or cant hit with TV there is no reason you should even be in the gunner seat....you need to be in a single player game practicing.

          except that it really does mean alot, it means they are totally inexperienced. I'm talking about privates and corporals here. And i dont just base it on that either, like i said it look at their current score. If they are along the lines of 3 and 16 they are a waste of space in the cockpit.

          You're response was totally closed minded though so I'm going to wait on someone with something substantial to say. Asshat doesn't really compell me to consider your remarks seriously.

          ha I'm glad i dont play on your server too, there's enough quick to judge and irrational admins to begin with.

              No your not. I've done it.. left them be. I've had gunners who got in with low ranks and acted like they didn't even know the gun could move from left to right. Its always the low rank people who run for the helicopter or plane to. You watch them die, or on a map like gulf someone in the F-35 flys directly into the water. Guess what? They go right for the same plane or helicopter again. I've even tried using a *HELO* tag by my name so people know I can fly. Of course this does nothing for those guys who insist on waiting for the helicopter even though they can't fly, and know it.

              Usually gunner sgt's and below are these people. Sometimes a Master Sgt, or First Sgt will suck. Most of the time the high rank guys do know what their doing. Sometimes i've ran into those guys who will get in and not be a good gunner. I've never seen a high rank run for something they can't fly, or can't do very well. Most of the times the high rank guys stick to one thing when I play. If they happen to be a chopper whore like me I just have to wait my turn. I've taken out some pretty experienced pilots as well.

                    WTF...how is it that if you dont have a good gunner you are going to crash...I hope you ment to say get blown out of the sky or something.

                    Anyways this goes both ways. Like last night I was playing Dalian and while I usually fly with my main gunner he was not around when the heli spawned so I ended up being a gunner for some idiot. After he takes of he heads right to the nearest white flag and begins to hover over it in hopes of capturing it, at the same time I am spaming my spotted key so the helo would show up on the mini map like I always do. This asshat just sits there....does not even turn in the directon the helo is coming from...so not only can I not shot my TV at him but the guy in the other helo has a perfect shot from the side. It was a joke. Anyways I am ranting and I will stop now.

                      I would have TKd you with the M95 next time you came back around to reload and repair then stolen your chopper and whore it away if it didnt crash.

                      just kidding

                      Shoulda picked him up to see. Wouldnt kill you.

                          Wow you are an idiot. You must not fly much because when you are going head to head with a chopper it is ALL about the TVs....if you have a gunner that cant or wont TV you WILL die unless the guy in the other chopper is a total noob. It sucks that it all comes down to the gunner but it is the sad truth. Now a good pilot can evade incoming TVs if they are good enough but all you are doing is putting off the inevidable which is getting hit with TV.

                          I'll tell you what JAG...you and some crappy gunner go against me and my gunner and you will change your tune real quick.

                            Not true.

                            A pilot often on his gunner to be able to pick off enemy attack choppers and/or ground based AA. If your gunner can't hit anything/doesn't know how to use the TVGM, he's a major liability.

                            Still, I tend to pick up whoever happens to be there are the time, unless I'm playing with someone I know or has already gunned well for me in the round. If some random guy gets in my bird's gunner seat, I'll make a new squad and invite him in so we can use VoiP. Even if it's one way communication (me yappin at him), I can call targets for him. If he's a noob, I'll give him tips.

                            I wouldn't call the OP an arse, but I would suggest that maybe his approuch isn't the best way to make friends on the field.
                            :p

                              You speak the truth WARGIMP....I also will give anyone a chance at gunning. But if you get in my chopper and start shooting your machine gun at a tank or at a helo half way across the map...you are done, get out, bye bye!
