    has anyone ever thought of.....

    Changing a server rule to allow attacks on enemy planes and choppers in the uncap??? I only say this because being in an attack chopper with a good gunner is wayyyyyy tooo easy in the point scoring dept and ALL the whores go to these maps just for points.... IMHO I don't agree with it and I think that people who are owning the leaderboard simply by sitting in a chopper and firing off the machine gun can't hack it on the battlefield.... Ground based combat wether it's on foot, in a jeep, tank or APC is what it's all about.... And furthermore, what's up with an anti tank round not being able to destroy an attack chopper???? I call BS on that one. If it can take out a jet then it should be able to take out a chopper easily... My surprise is that DICE hasn't made this more accurate.

    WTF?????

    Too easy? Just try to take me (or someone like Cynic, among many others) down.


    Edit:

    You have a KD of 2 and 75 hours in a heli. Come back when you've got twice that... on both counts.

    For what it's worth, a good heli can and does easily take down apcs and tanks, among other ground targets. The question is, can you do it with a competent heli on your ***? I doubt it.

      He does have a point. Its piss easy to kill people with the chopter when the enemy team doesnt have any good chopter or pilots present.

          Project Reality isn't much fun. I actually tried to like it, but it's just not enjoyable.

          Diff. strokes for diff. folks, I guess.

          *snip*

          Of course any given team with a set of jet or chopper pilots will rape another team utterly devoid of competition for the aforementioned. The question is, can his "oh, it's so easy" *** handle a jet constantly messing with him while juggling AA and other helis?

          Probably not.

            You do have a point.

            I don´t find infantry enjoyable alot of the time, I mostly vehicle whore but it depends a huge amount on who you are playing with and a lot of times on what map.

            At least you tried, most people give up after one round on a bad team on a huge map.

            I like PR above all the mods, although I also like others too and I can agree there are some fustrating things. But for me, it is just a million times better than vBF2 in almost every department.

              When [WS] was active in BF2 we always allowed attacking uncaps and all kinds of rape, because, war is hell. And we didn't care for people crying about rape, it was either learn to get better and deal or GTFO.

              Some days you own, and some days you get owned. That's life.

                I think you're trolling, but who knows: maybe you are this dense.

                What is the point of your post? Honestly, people with your "skill" rarely exist in BF2 anymore. If you play on a public server and are average in a jet/helo, you'll finish the round in first place.

                It's not hard to use those vehicles anymore now that all the "pros" have moved on to other games :p

                  I would still like to play it, but on a more populated server. The last one I had the chance to play on had something like 14 players: hardly interesting when the map is twice the size of Kubra dam.

                  I suppose it was a pretty harsh post. I was angry about something else at the time, so that probably had an impact in how I wrote the message... :laugh:

                    Chopters are the only vehicles that are really damn easy to get points in. When your tanking, you have to deal with alot of other crap like AT inf (wich should be limited coz at times you get 5+ guys hunting you with those things). But if your in a chopter, you are pretty much invinsible to everything but other teams chopters and jets. Sure jets have even less enemies, but they dont dominate as much

                      Lol Sloi, I think you proved AKULA's point.

                      The point is that it's hard to down a good heli, but it's easy for a decent heli to dominate the ground.

                      I prefer servers that have no rules other than the obvious TK, hack, glitch, etc. There should never be a safe zone for anyone, commander or otherwise. Sitting on a no attack uncaps carrier is about the same as glitching into a building, except it's the admins doing the dirty part.

                      And Sloi, I would love to fight you in a heli. 1 vs. 2? I don't need TV missiles; they're boring.

                        It's easy to make points in a heli provided you actually know what you're doing. As long as we agree on this condition, then you can carry on.

                        What I don't understand is why people are b*tching about this: why would infantry stand a chance against tanks, apcs and other vehicles? Similarly, why would apcs and tanks stand a chance against helis? It's just an inescapable reality, deal with it, learn to use those vehicles to fight fire with fire or play counter-strike/cod4.

                        And Chael, you can find me playing Dalian/Daqing/Kubra in the wee hours of the night. Worst comes to worst, you can xfire me to join in whenever I play.

                        Agreed, but again... that's an inescapable reality of infantry combat. It is the price you pay for not specializing in air combat or not entering a vehicle at that particular point in time.

                          Thanks Sloi, it would be great to fight against a skilled player for a change. Like you I have entered a state of semi-retirement so it might be a couple days. I'll look you up on game monitor when I play by myself.

                          And BTW I wouldn't dare b¡tch about anything being overpowered; I like a challenge. I chase APCs on foot with my C4 out, shoot jets with hellfires, down J10s with the F35's MG, and my personal favorite: killing helis with DPVs. Not to say that my DPV will down a truly skilled pilot with any frequency, but it is damn rewarding.

                          See ya on the 'field.

                            Infantry combat? Are you guys a bunch of dilweeds?

                            Longest-range visibility unit in game: Sniper (excluding non-player operated ones like UAV)
                            Only support staff (Medic/Engineer/Support): Infantry
                            I/O: Extremely popular

                            If I can get 50 points every 3rd round with J10/heli vs. 25 every round with L96A1, I'd take the L96A1.

                            Consider in investing your time in a non-vehicle talent.
