Attack chopper gunner bug...

Whenever I fly in the gunner position of the Mi-28/AH-1Z, I can dominate everything in sight with the machine guns, but once I switch to my TV missile camera view once, my machine guns do no damage at all(even when I hit enemys directly). This gets very annoying as I don't want to choose between using TV missiles or machine guns when i'm gunning.

Does anyone know why this happens to me and how to fix it? Thanks

Re: Attack chopper gunner bug...

Yes this is a very annoying bug when it happens. I think someone said if you cycle through all the camera angles when it happens it will fix it not sure though.

Re: Attack chopper gunner bug...

This has been discussed already. Do a search next time. The solution is this:

After swtiching from the tv missle to the autocannon, pivot the gun to two opposite diagonal corners. This effectively resets the camera because it is up against the farthest it can go in all 4 directions. The game loses track of where you actaully left the gun pointing, resulting in the game registering your bullets going a completely diff trajectory from what you see.

Splash damage doesn't hurt them - which is why it's a great tactic to use when getting hit by artillery.

That's a bold-faced lie. I've been killed by arty dozen of times even though I'm proned with my legs inside the building I'm proning next to.

Need to get footage of the bug (like the video), and showing someone else where it's actually shooting.

I had this today, a few times I was pounding a guy and not getting anything, luckily I read this bug this morning, and moved it out to the corners.

I ended up getting gold and 101 points.

Aha we have noticed this a lot. ie you can blow up 1 ground mounted AA gun easily then the 2nd one refuses to blow. Same thing we hovered over the enemy the gunner pounded into him, his body was flailing with every shot but it never killed him.

Sup Mack as well from GA!

You need DivX6 to view this vid www.divx.com

The thing is as a pilot I have seen the gunner hitting the players exactly like that. The gunner is telling me he also sees the same that he is hitting them. Its not as though I'm seeing the gunner aim 10ft away otherwise I would have told him so. From my view, the pilot's view that is exactly the same I see. I have only noticed this though with the cobra pee-shooters.

Merged these 2 threads - as they are about the same thing, and the temporary fix to this is listed here.
