Tip for being a gunner in the Heli

[scarywoody]

Look in front of you! I good pilot will aim you at what he wants you to shoot. It's ok to check the left and right for danger, but trying to kill an infantry guy while we are being locked on by AA that I'm aiming you right at ,and your looking as far left as possible trying to kill someone. Small pet peeve :)

Re: Tip for being a gunner in the Heli

My rule when you're in my chopper is to look where I'm looking unless I say otherwise. However we still have these gunners who don't want the easy kills I'm pointing at I guess. I swear, the epitomy of the dumbest gunner I've had went a little like this. Dalian plant, US has all flags (except uncap of course) and I get the cobra. Gunner gets in we take off, here's where it gets bad. This guy is doing the exact OPPOSITE of everything I need him to do. I point him at armor.....he lays on the machine gun. I point him at a group of 4 guys, he shoots a TV (and misses everything I may add). I mean, what is with people. I can understand Noobs just learning the ropes. We were all there at one time. But it seems to me it's just common sense. Opening up cannon fire on a 100% healthy tank does nothing except make his turret come round and begin to lob shells at me. Seriously. If anyone wants a good time in a chopper, it's ColdCircuitCash on xFire. Lets at least train these people.

Re: Tip for being a gunner in the Heli

that is going under the assumption that you have a good pilot.

Re: Tip for being a gunner in the Heli

The number ONE thing you can do to be a good gunner is to use voip and be in the same squad as your pilot.

Oh, if I had someone like that gunning in my helo... I'd turn the helo upside down, and bail. And if he complains about my flying; I'd tell him I'm doing the equivalent of what he was doing as a gunner.

A tip I can impart about taking off in the Helo: lean to one side- it can help reduce the chance of being hit by an enemy TV missile when you take off sideways. Just make sure you don't lean too far, or your helo will flip.

I'm pretty damn good behind the gunner seat- I spot like a 'Where's Wally' enthusiast, and I can even hit fighters with TV missiles if you're game enough to take one on head-on.

My flying on the other hand is wreckless- but hey, people tend to love the ride I give them. (I have a thing for lining up TV Missile shots by barrel-rolling into position behind a target.)

Hope I run into you sometime ColdCircuitCash.

Personal experience- Gunning in BF2 is probably the most hardware affected aspect of the game. If you have a PC that sucks, you will east dust.

If you think about it- if you have a PC that sucks- piloting would more be your worst nightmare than anything.

Negative. As a matter of fact, boating excluded, piloting is the easiest thing to do while having a crappy PC. The thing is, in air, the jerkiness, lag, lack of FPS affects your gameplay less than lets say in a 1 vs 1 firearm engagement.

Take it from me- 1+ full year of BF2 with

P4 3.0
512MB of RAM
ATI Radeon 9550 SE 128 MB

It seems obvious but some people just don't know.

I can fly fine and I have a **** computer but when I try and gun ehhh....

Re: Tip for being a gunner in the Heli

A good gunner is on VoIP and is usually not looking where you are pointed. I'm usually cycling through views and looking side to side to make sure another attack chopper doesn't get the drop on us. That or I'm bringing up the big map to see what SAM sites are occupied. You'll do better in the chopper once you move beyond spamming the gun on infantry. You gotta spend a lot of time focusing on your survival.
