Last night I was flying the chopper !solo on Wake. I was in the same squad as my gunner, so I could hear VOIP (my mic is broken atm so I couldnt talk back).
Anyway, I consider myself a fair pilot and clearly recognize that the gunner is the primary killing aspect of the duo. As such, I tend to line up for TV shots well, can funnel pretty smoothly and tightly enough to cap a flag, and can dodge the J-10s as much as is possible.
So I sideslip down to the beach flag and start a funnel and the guy starts telling me to stop moving around so much. I dont think much of it at the time. Then the airport starts getting capped, so I flip over there and start funneling around the flag and my gunner starts going pretty ballistic, telling me to stop moving, fly smoothly, that I am going to get us killed. At this point I start to get annoyed, because I know as soon as I slow up we are going to get a couple of rockets in our rotors.
But, he has me questioning my technique. Normally, I am *elated* to get a pilot than can funnel when I am a gunner. Most seem to think that the hover or the fly-slowly-straight-over-the-flag-and-turn-around method works best.
What method, as a gunner, do you guys like, and why?
