Solo Helicopter?

Re: Solo Helicopter?

Its entertaining :laugh: , I like to argue.

Most fun on this forum is the hypocracy about 3rd party programs...
Macro's are bad it is said, but most forum moderators here use joy2key...

Talus even has his own sticky about it here:

Joy2Key
A hard to find 3rd party application which can give all sorts of insane new functionality (most notably - mouse movement/button) to your joystick...

PS - it is not cheating, so don't fall for the old 'oh noes! it's a 3rd party app and EA will ban me!!1!!1'

With JoyToKey, you only have to move the hatswitch for mouse looking..you don't have to hold down any other key or joystick button. You basically achieve the effect that should have originally been included.

That is what makes my method so sweet

How is that for an unfair advantage to people not using that program..?
For modding the game to include something that that, as he says, 'Should have originally been included..!'
But 'no' he says, 'that is not cheating'...
"That's not cheating", Wargimp replies..!

Priceless and the main reason why I stopped caring about it all...

All if fair in love and war, except in BF2 where you can't attack the base, fly a J-10 or solo a Helo...

i wish the lil girlies could take their bickering to PM, or email.......spare us....

Re: Solo Helicopter?

This is the sole reason of a forum. To discuss. Now you want them to converse via PM? What would you like the forum to be used for?

That's like the thead about combining all 'noob' questions into one thread. That is the exact reason all forums are multiple threads... so people don't have to scroll through 40-50 pages to find an answer.

Re: Solo Helicopter?

You know what annoys me about all this? I can find so many examples of these f*ckers doing the same thing with ground vehicles: the only difference being they can't take people out of bounds. Otherwise, it's the same story in a different suit.

You're hypocrites and nothing you say has any value to me or anyone else at this point.

Re: Solo Helicopter?

It's fine if you are by yourself and no1 wants to be the gunner, which doesn't happen very often.

What I notice more often now, especially on Sharqi, is when you end up being gunner, and the helo pilot drives you to the non-playable zone and essentially gets you killed, only to go fly solo. I make an effort to TK and team-hit as much as possible, and I could really care less about the points.

Solo pilots have too much confidence, however. They think they own the skies, but rarely appear anywhere close to an actual battle, where-as a pilot with a gunner will dominate the map if both are competent. The latter is better, simply because it was meant to be played that way.

Oh well, there will always be those willing to pay as a team, and those willing to be idiots and play with and by themselves. To those idiots: you were once a newbie, you should be helping those that jump in as your gunner, give them the chance you once had. You'd be much more help to your team, to the match, and overall, you'd be surprised how well newbs do when they're concentrating solely on trying to gun.

Face facts. Soloing heli pilots are lamers!

Soloing heli pilots or that one retard that took you out of bounds? If you choose the first option, youve proven once again that simple-minded ignorant people are the prime reason for worlds unhappiness. Im sure youd lable all black people as criminals just because you got mugged by one .

Re: Solo Helicopter?

In case I wasn't clear in my previous post, when I explained this...

http://s109.photobucket.com/albums/n69/jimtool655321/?action=view&current=SeatSwitchSploitz.flv

The lock stays for the pilot and the guy in the AA, but the missiles just flake out and do nothing.
You can see how the first missile hit me, then the second, third, and fourth ignored me.
If you're getting shot down by missiles while in the gunner seat, it's probably a jet shoving them up your cheeks. You get really close, and drop the missiles to where they pretty much "spawn" in the cockpit of the chopper.

Bottom line: The practice of switching seats in aircraft is an exploit.

EDIT: Tested another theory just now... When a bomber has a laser guided missile lock, switch seats in your vehicle. About 2/3 of the missiles arc off on a hard left and the lock stays... Switching seats in any vehicle is an exploit!!!

All the way and then some!!!

Re: Solo Helicopter?

I said I will try to use one. And since I have yet to use a macro, does that make me a cheater?

Pretty much, yes. It's like thinking about stealing from someone, it's a character issue.. or in you're case, flaw.

:laugh: ! Hahaha! Youre the one having a MAJOR problem with accepting that solo-choppering is NOT cheating, NOT exploiting and is simply the use of game mechanics! Youre the one attacking people for not agreeing with you! Youre also guilty in labelling every chopper pilot a cheating exploiter, even though they have admitted that they are NOT quilty in what youve accused them to be. Hahaha, oh man, youre so pathetic its funny.

You can't be this ignorant Chris, as I've stated, I too am a pilot. And I have soloed plenty, when no one wants to gun, but a huge percentage of people, including myself, know about the seat switching glitch, I'm sorry if you can't grasp this, no matter how many times it's presented to you.

Then Repent, honey, why cant you accept that solo-choppering is not a sin? Earth too far for you to reach? :cry:

Read above, please READ the posts Chris.

On what? That Im a hacking, exploiting solo-macro exploiter even though I dont? Sorry, I wont let you lable me for something that I am not, and you shouldnt expect to get away with it.

You have labeled yourself my friend.

Thank you for showing your objective and mature mind. :laugh: . I simply support solo-choppering as an often necesary thing to create better results than having a team of one competent crewmate dragging the other one around.

And as you've stated, you have taken gunners OoB, and TKed for Heli, we know, we know..

No, no, no. I understand, its always easier to fabricate something!

I've fabricated nothing. You, however, keep giving us all more information about what a lame teammate you really are.

As for DooDah comments. I dont lable every groundpounder by the face of a Karkand exploiter. If YOU, Repent, choose to be a smaller man and generalize every solo-pilot, then its your choice. Ignorance, afterall as they say, is a bliss.

As I've stated, and you have numly over looked, I'm not a ground pounder, I'm a jet/Heli pilot. You can look at my crappy stats, they suck, but they are all mine, fairly gotten, without cheating one single time.

I play alot on unranked servers too, as well as POE, and OPK.

Its entertaining :laugh: , I like to argue. Although Repent has proven that he cant agree to disagree a long time ago, so thats pretty much like beating a dead horse... camel... couch... whatever.

I love a good debate, that's why I don't lose my temper, I enjoy debate.

Look Chris, we've agreed on something :cry:

You know what annoys me about all this? I can find so many examples of these f*ckers doing the same thing with ground vehicles: the only difference being they can't take people out of bounds. Otherwise, it's the same story in a different suit.

No Sloi, you haven't got a clue about what the overwhelming majority of soloers do!

Ground vehicles are NOT the same, whether you want to admit it, or not, there IS evidence of the missles NOT LOCKING PROPERLY on seat-switching soloers.

Otherwise we wouldn't be here debating it.

DON'T YOU GET IT?!?

I uploaded the file to www.putfile.com to make it easier to see. Didn't realize photobucket would gay it up like that.

Re: Solo Helicopter?

A2A (jet) missiles miss non-stationary choppers 90% of the time anyways even if you have a lock :p

:laugh:

This may not necessarily be aimed at you...

Ah yes, ground vehicles are somehow exempt from requiring another player despite the fact that their multiple functions work in exactly the same way as the helicopter. Who the f*ck are you kidding? Seriously.

As for the lock problem? I don't recall ever arguing that it should remain this way: I believe this is the only thing you and I will agree requires fixing.

.50 doesn't take armour out in one shot

A weapon's power has nothing to do with how many players should be operating the vehicle associated with it. If you're going to force people to use a vehicle with others, be consistent and do it for all of them: otherwise, shut the hell up and stop being a hypocrite. :)
