    The Truth Behind the Lack of Good Gunners

    sssseriously, it seems as if all the good gunners have spontaneously combusted. You fly now, and you can't trust your gunner or pilot to do anything right anymore. Its always the newbs that happen to get into the helis, and worse yet there tag-teaming with a newbie too. On very rare occasions, you get someone that knows atleast what there doing flying with you.

    Some people have hit 50k mark yet to realize you can guide the tv missiles. I find myself literally screaming at my monitor, until someone tells me to shut up. Lucky i dont have a mic (dont think im a weirdo, im game angry, not real-life angry). Im a captain. This is what i think now, and im no more than an average gunner/pilot.

    Now lets go back to when i was a staff sergeant. I was new to this pilot/gunner teamwork stuff, and i was amazed at how well people can fly the helo. I wasn't an idiot, and i quickly found out that you can guide the tv missile. I seemed to dissapoint a lot of people with my gunning/piloting skills, but nonetheless i had fun.

    Its times like these we remember whats fun. The more you rank up pubbing, the more this "fun" is taken away from you. When you suck, your having a "blast", if you will. When your a pro, noobs just anger you. Im a well above average rank, my silver gleam stands out in the lineup of bronze ranks. My point is that the game is really less enjoyable the more you rank up. The good gunners arent going anywhere, its just that the more you play the less good these good gunners are.

    So i went soloing yesterday, for my first successful time on Dalian. Stupid enemy helicopter pairs didn't even hunt me down. I Came first in that round, and i had a lot of fun. Scored over 20 kills. Im telling you right now, im more help for the team soloing and knowing what im doing then letting a sergeant in and taking pointless unguided shots at helis. So what? Helping the team = your team doesnt get raped. Team doesnt get raped = your team can win. team winning = fun. Fun = the point of this god damn game.

    So i wish all you redliners and soloers good luck out there, keep up the good work.

      Indeed.

      Last I recall, you don't get good at something by not doing it...

        agreed. I wish i had a dollar for every time someone said "pick me up, I'm a good gunner". Then you discover they suck at gunning and dont even have the common sense to join the squad you created so you can try to talk to them.

        Just remind yourself its only a game. :p

            i guess i missed that but i think the truth is that the good gunners arent going anywhere, your just getting better not realizing those good gunners are YOU.

              I know what you mean... I have to unplug it every time I go pubbing (mostly for the reason I'd just go insane in the TS even though they're not even in the same server). But otherwise, you're already better than many others because of the observations you're making. And mostly agree with you.

                  Just look for me with game monitor and I won't dissapoint I promise. I usually play in Drunkenmasters. And no I don't use xfire or any of that lame ****. I'm here to have fun and kill; not socialize.

                      QFT.....

                      remove your head from your *** and let others play in the heli THEY PAYED FOR prick....if you dont want to share, play singleplayer......hate arrogant asssholes like you, if you dont have the patients to take an inexperienced gunner with you then you shouldnt be in the heli PERIOD or better yet, you shouldnt be in a RANKED PUBLIC server......ya the point of the game is fun, but its not fair if you're the only one having fun.....soling by yourself letting no one else get that experience of flying/gunning

                      ya so i dont get why ppl say the fun is in the win.....ive played some rounds that ended with the win, and it was too quick and NO FUN AT ALL......the fun is in the playing the game for the win, not the win itself....the game is over at that point, and so is the fun for that round....so if u lose, you should be able to have fun too....

                      so pull your head out of your assss the team can still have fun if you dont take the chopper for yourself TKing and redlining whoever you hafta to whore it all round BY YOUSELF

                        Oh wow yet another thread centering on veiled, shameless self promotion.

                        Let's all just start crying about how people accuse us of hacking...oh the horror. Oh the sympathy and respect... yawn.

                          Re: The Truth Behind the Lack of Good Gunners

                          i sure wasnt expecting this to come :laugh: . IM NOT BY ANY MEANS FORCING SOLOING... if i get a helo, and nobody is on the carrier (good team) im not gonna wait around for people... ill takeoff ASAP. And why should let a vein in my forehead explode just for the sake of a newbie flying/having fun.. thats your fault for being a newbie online. Before i started flying (post demo) i practiced on sharqi and made sure i didn't crash as much times as i got shot down. Dont get me wrong, i give people chances, but not to infinitely. I would rather fly with a gunner than without, im just trying to make a point that soloing shouldn't at all be neglected, we have to relieve our pain every once in a while.

                          AlphaCueUp i really apprecita what your doing, very nice of you, i just cant put up with those people like i used to.

                            yep, I only solo when there is nobody to gun for me, and its very frustrating when you do pick up a gunner and find out that you did better solo than with him.......so I end up being a teacher the whole round (HA!!!! ME A TEACHER!!!! IMAGINE THAT!!!!! WAFJ) but atleast the gunner gets some experience, sometimes I switch with them to let them get some flying time to....then its a new subject to teach because they usually want to go cap a flag with their back to an attack helo

                            overall I find that when I do pick up a co-pilot wether it be pilot/gunner they are very gratefull that I took the time to teach them something rather than red-line them

                              Teaching...agreed...I sucked...then a PRIVATE picked me up ( I was a Staff sergeant ) and he carefully alined me for every kill, I didn't know that you could "guide" TV guided missles, then I accedently clicked twice..oh look I acctually got that f***er!

                              Sometimes soloing is better though...like when you are loosing.
