For Ppl With Solo Problems

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

solo flying = kick / ban in our server

How do you police such a thing anyway?

Anyway, it's your server, do what you like.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

thanks 4 that not that i go sosl...

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

well i will solo if there is noone available to gun for me and im usually quite happy to pick up a gunner but as i said solo in chpper is becoming a requirement for clan matches so i do practice a lot with clanmates when our server is offline

thanx for the tip about aiming for the tail btw strangley it seems to work better than aiming for the cockpit

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

Ok. There are plenty of good servers out there though :)

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I used to get that quite often before, but as I said, aiming for the back truly helps. That and making small corrections all the time makes you hit more often. Nowadays I rarely miss unless the heli is moving really fast in one direction, or of course, if it lags too much...

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

Just out of curiousity, how many times do you see the tv-missle go straight throught the other chopper, I could 'ave headshot some pilots with the missle but it just doesn't register.....

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

The only way you're going to get better is to practice. Also, aim for the back of the heli, that way you're more likely to get the hit to register

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I have recently started soloing as is really a requirement for clan matches now but only prob is i havent been a gunner for soooo long i cant hit the side of a barn, well i prob could hit the side of a barn but i find it really difficult hitting the other choppers. Ground targets arent really a prob but those other bloody choppers i just cant hit grrrrrr

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I solo whenever I have the opportunity, because I am SICK AND TIRED of n00bs who think the cannon is the only weapon on the attack chopper.

And when I spam chat "USE THE TV MISSILE" I get no response at all.

I have a fairly good strike rate with the TV missile and find I'm normally much more effective soloing then being in a deathtrap with a n00b, who either can't fly or can't gun.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I wish that was all most of my pilots did. Failed to lead the target, HA! It's worse when they line their own crosshairs up on the target, leaving yours looking at dirt. That's the number one way I've been shot down by tanks. My pilot flies low, with his HUD aimed at the tank. I'm looking at dirt, saying or typing, "nose up." PWNT

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I usually get horrible pilots and one last night i spotted the enemy chopper who was off to our 9 o' clock 3 or 4 times on wake island and the pilot decided to go along his merry way and go to the helipad to get repairs and we got tv missled. Then he yells at me for not shooting the chopper down. it was hilarious. i asked him if he knew that you have to aim a little in front of the chopper for me to be able to hit it with TV. then he was quiet.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I personally like having a pilot, but it's difficult to find one that will actually fly in the correct directions and evade enemies. Yesterday I had one decent pilot that got me lined up for 24 TVGM kills. However, he left the game and I was stuck with a really crappy pilot that would not even attempt to barrel roll out jets or spin around to an attacking helo.
It is good to solo a helo sometimes..Get's your skills with the TVGM up and your meanuvering skills up.

I hate it when a pilot will not turn to look at the other attack chopper!!!
You spot him like 10-15 times and the pilot doesn't care. He's either:
A. Trying to cap a flag
B. Firing hellfires at 1 troop
or my favorite C. Completely oblivious to anyhting and just flying around.

And after any of the above senerios, you get punked by the other chopper.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I'm having a small problem with the soloing .

I changed the binding so that it will automatically switch to TV, but I want a thumb button to switch to pilot's seat, but it's configuring..It's still stuck on F1 even though i changed it to C.
