I just opened PR up and joined a local game. The first thing that happens is that I spawn on the wrong spawnpoints, because the one I wanted to spawn at (kazran desert @ plane-spawn) is waaay off the map. I press suicide and have to wait for a WHOLE MINUTE. I spawn on the right spawn, can't see or find anything because the minimap sucks and pretty much everything looks the same.
I go to where the jets are supposed to spawn (with a horribly tiny sprint-speed) and wait. And wait... AND WAIT... After a while I just can't be bothered to wait anymore, so I start jumping around and come close to a barbed wire. When I touch it I get hit (no HP-meter, no no no) and my characters screams German phrases (or something that sounds like it). After the second or third hit I start getting hits all the time and I hear the common heartbeat. I can barely move and not at all sprint. So I throw out a field something (the white thing) and watch it land on the ground and then go through it. So I walk to the spot where it went through and POOF! I can no longer hear the heartbeat (still no way of telling wether I am hurt or not).
So after a few minutes (still no jets have been spawned) I go towards the blackhawks, which I only after a long time manage to find. I jump inside one of them and try to take off. The first thing that happens is the fact that nothing happens. I can't take off. I ask my mates on ventrilo WTF that is supposed to mean, and they say "you have to warm up the engines" :/ . So I sit there and wait, but after a while I get slain because I don't have the pilot kit.
After waiting another minute I spawn and request the pilot kit. Only after a long time does my pilotkit appear, but now I can finally sit in the damn chopper without getting killed. After a few minutes of warming up I can finally take off (still no jets have spawned). I take a look around, the map looks dull and plain, and I try to do rolls in the blackhawk. I manage to actually do a FEW ROLLS IN A BIG FAT BLACKHAWK. WITHOUT losing altitude!
Where's the realism in that? In the end I just crash my chopper (after trying to land, which seems to be really hard, because holding S pretty much means start swaying to the left) and disconnect.
