Re: Half way there... sigh

I'm not talking about the ease of use of gun vs. TV missile, I'm talking from a pilot's standpoint it makes my job easier if you use the TV missile rather than having me stay close to a silo to use the gun.

yeah, maybe from the pilot's standpoint, but it's still not very effective to battle infantry with TV. the gunship is going to stay out of harm's way more but you guys won't be piling up as many kills.

As to TV sensitivity, it's controlled by your land vehicle sensitivity.

Thats weird, because TV Controls (mouse-movement) is controlled by your infantry controls...

tv's are indeed bound to land vehicle controls mate

TV Missile is bound to INFANTRY controls.

If the gunner is solid with the TV i'd much rather him take out infantry while we're moving with the TV, that way I don't have to wait for him to get the gun kill. Some gunners are pretty quick with the gun, but even with them I have to focus on what they're doing rather than what I should be doing, so I much prefer my gunners to use the TV for all targets.

i'm going to have to disagree with you there. unless you are TV missiling infantry from far away, it's much easier to pick off infantry with the chain gun. if there are 5 infantry soldiers around a silo trying to cap it or defend it, how would it be more effective with the missile? you can easily pick them off with the chain gun which gets into the nooks and crannies and has crazy splash damage. the missile on the other hand has to be guided, reloaded, all the while limiting your field of view. the chain gun was made to shred up infantry like there's no tomorrow, and i don't see how the TV missile is better at that.

hey does changing aircraft sensitivity in the options actually change the TV missle sensitivity too? or no?

i've heard that's actually controlled by land vehicle sensitivity. not 100% positive though.

i guess it's not whether the pilot is "good", but whether he's willing to give you the looks. meaning he will hover for you to pick off infantry or line you up for TV missile shots, things like that. it probably means sacrificing his score a bit and also taking bigger risks. the gunner however has to be decent himself so that the pilot can trust him. countless times i hover at a silo so that gunner can pick off the infantry only to have him fiddle with the TV missile and get shot down by a pilum.

and then there are pilots who fly so fast and twist and turn so often that you can never get a shot off at anything. they're more into showing off their manuverability skills rather than working as a team, trying to fly under or between every structure and even getting us killed in doing so.

You can rack up quite a score with a good pilot. I once got up to like 70 points in half a round of suez because I was gunning for a really good pilot.

Re: Half way there... sigh

woot, i had an awesome round today as a gunner with a great pilot. it's crazy how many easy kills you can get when your pilot is constantly giving you good looks. too bad these type of players are hard to find and i'm usually the one flying myself.

Re: Half way there... sigh

keep going man ur almost there

Re: Half way there... sigh

The 100 hours seems disproportionate to the kills required. 1.33 kills per every minute, very difficult

Re: Half way there... sigh

So umm yea...I get uh...airsick. So I dont really want to...uhh...you know..spend most of my 2142 playing time in one of those gunplane thingys.

Re: Half way there... sigh

wow you spent over 559 hrs in aircraft, that is insane!
