I used to see this all the time, then I learned to switch really fast.

Re: switching in chopper

I cant believe people want to take out one of the most skilled parts of the game, and it would RUIN compeditive play.

Re: switching in chopper

i think its a bad idea to require two seats being filled.......because:

1: if your pilot gets sniped out, or killed at all while flying, you cannot recover the vehicle and pick up the guy after he respawns

2: there are times when only one person wants to fly the chopper, this would disallow him to do that, and deny your team the help it would provide

3: if it requires two people to take off, and only one person on your team wants it, he would be unable to use it, and it would leave it vulnerable to theft by the other team

4: it would take too long in some cases to take off.....alot of times, a pilot/gunner team has to defend their chopper, the gunner usually in an air defense, while the pilot gets it up and runnning...

i feel the ideal solution is to limit the seat switching so that is only allows a player to SWITCH TO pilot seat, not from

I agree as I many times have a hard time keeping a gunner.

Yeah. But in your videos, you sometimes shoot off a missile, right before you go to TV screen and fire a TVM... What is that good for? Looks like 'you' click way too fast before firing the TVM.

Re: switching in chopper

yeah, that stutter is present for everyone i do believe. what i hate is when you're in a heated battle, and you go to click to the tv. it goes to tv but goes right back to the cannon without you clicking.

i hate that too...

I agree as I many times have a hard time keeping a gunner.

definately, but it sucks when the pilot takes you out of bounds so he can seat swap.... so i agree with the seat swap time from pilot to gunner being longer.

I don't like the insinuation you're making. Are you proposing I use a macro? I seriously didn't expect this kind of post from someone like you, Phil. Anyway...

Yes, switching too fast sometimes causes a rocket to fire or a bug to occur, but I much prefer the former to slower switching which could enable the opposition to "arrive" first.

Re: switching in chopper

I don't think single seat crew of a helicopter is a big deal as if you are willing to take the risk of getting killed faster, than oh well it's up to the pilot. I would push for changes like the ability to pick up you're C4 and things like a semi auto sniper rifle(yes it does exist in development) that would be cool. I would have little bird on more maps.

Re: switching in chopper

That would solve a lot of the problem. The TVGM are there for a reason

maybe more people should learn to gun

maybe if ppl didnt get redlined, tked, or told to bail out repeatedly until they do, they could learn to gun propperly.....theres only so much one can learn in singleplayer

[predragjanjic]

Re: switching in chopper

maybe if people talked to some other peiople and asked them to help then maybe people would be able to gun

I remember asking sloi to help me with flying long ago, we did some practicing on dragon once

you can learn to solo in single player, people here are too proud of them selves to ask others for them

[troybob]

Re: switching in chopper

that does not happen for me.

[AlphaCueUp]

Re: switching in chopper

like i said, you can only learn so much in single player.....a bot target is nothing at all like a human target.........to compare the two is utterly ridiculous

Re: switching in chopper

er i dont see anything wrong? your gun looks to the left, it will stay there and not re centre when switching weapons. the lines on the mini map is the direction your looking.

and BLUD, **** off u dip****, with so many ******* idiots in this game a player can do ten times better soloing the chopper. no one should have to put up with constant deaths because the gunner cant hit anything.
