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

How do you police such a thing anyway?

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

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

Well, I can understand why people want to fle solo. There was one time I got onto the gunner position in the AH-1Z and the noobish pilot flew so high that everyone can see us up there... not long later we got anti-aired.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

Using F1 and/or F2 for switching, will never lead to satisfactory results...
Learn to create a better keysetup...

My experiance is that, the more violent the mavourve, the less the chopper tends to spin...
A good keysetup will do the rest...
Hovering only ensures imidiate twist response from the chopper...

Anyone still aiming left of a target, will need to get back to the drawing board if they take solo choppering seriously...
Couse a guy taking off alone in a chopper, is just a guy taking off alone in a chopper...
Solo piloys are capable of so much more...

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I fly solo and i use default buttons. I just practiced out and im quick at switch/right/left/death/switch.

It's better sometimes, because you can really position yourself the way you want, but i also have a buddy with me who is a great gunner so that also helps.

As long as both are communicating and know their "targets" and their importance i think solo isn't much necessary.

Oh and by the way, TV going through the cockpit, unregistered, about 20 times last night on this Dragon Valley server. Aiming at the back helped a lot.

The only key changes I can see needing a new mapping are mouselook and Enter/Exit. Everything else is fine if you have nimble fingers... something the ladies also love :)

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

I tried another key setup and I sucked so much with it that I had to change back to default =/

I dont see any problems with the default config. The only problem I have soloing is the lag I get from switch to shooting the missile... Sometimes it takes so long that it makes it impossible to hit closer range targets.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

This thread is silly.

If you don't have the quick fingers of a solo veteran, just spin the chopper to the left before you switch. If you do it right you can get the Tv screen to pause over your target. If you do the position + spin technique you're retarded.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

You don't always have the luxury of time when a TV shot is needed, hence the real solution being a better ability to predict and control the behavior of your helicopter: you can take shots in every conceivable position almost all the time, it's just a matter of knowing your limits in specific situations. Practice being a good pilot and everything else will fall into place.

Re: For Ppl With Solo Problems

The problem isn't with me, i switch so fast with my fingers that even other solo-pilots have called me a macro user. I was letting them know a technique which has helped me and many others, Redux from codeseven, who made that 'duck and cover' video uses/used the same technique as me.
