Few days ago, I came across the best attack chopper gunner I've ever seen. Simply amazing guy, with lots of skills and brain (to know what to hit first, when to hit it, etc).
In our first run (USMC on Gulf of Oman), I had outbursts of hysterical laughs as I was watching him guide TV missiles and hit everything (missed maybe 1 in 10). We completely halted MEC armor and choppers, and our team won the game easily. He had highest score, but we simply didn't care about score - it was amazing fun, and we helped team a lot (if teammates advance towards a flag, we provide cover for them and "clean" the flag from vehicles/infantry as much as we can, etc). It came to the point where MEC choppers were not taking off anymore, and MECs would jump out of vehicles when they saw chopper aligned in their direction (that was hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing). He was 1st (had 130+ points, 50+ kills), I was 3rd. But I couldn't care less. I had so much fun flying, I didn't think about points.
Next round comes - 5-6 people gather on helipad. And they wouldn't let us have the chopper ("Why would you have the chopper all the time?" reasoning). They probably assumed no skill is involved in doing what we did, so they repeatedly died and we lost the round. Not a big deal.
Yesterday, we manage to get together on Wake Island map, and we get into chopper. Similar story again, he hits just about everything (missed planes for meter or two, few times, damnit
), and as our USMC teammates advance towards flags, we go above them and "clear" the terrain in front of them.
And in next round? People gathered on the helipad, and wouldn't let two of us get the chopper. One idiot even TKed us and got kicked from the server (he TKed us 4 times). Another guy got into chopper, and circled above a carrier for a minute, then he landed on the carrier deck. And he wouldn't move, nor fly, nor fight. Whole point was not to let us two get into the chopper. As if we were not in the same team.
Are people f*cking jealous when someone plays better or what!?!?
When I see a chopper doing fine job, I never even think of trying to get it next time it spawns. I sometimes get into chopper as pilot, and I see 2 guys (with same clantag, for example) running towards me. I assume they have teamspeak or something, so I leave the chopper and let them have it. And usually they do better job than me flying alone or with random gunner (who shoots at tanks with gun, heh).
Sometimes I see good pilot/gunner pair get shot down, and someone else takes the chopper on next spawn. These guys give up and go fighting, and I take the chopper next time it spawns, and find those 2 guys to give them chopper. I simply want SUPPORT from the chopper (and I play AT most of the time, so I really appreciate chopper support against vehicles), so I'd give it to pilot/gunner pair any time of the day. Like when I spot APC/tank on our CP, and 10 seconds later chopper arrives and takes them out. I'd never try to take the choper from those guys.
But why people take choppers from pilot/gunner pair which is proven in the combat, and which helps the team?
Did you ever get out of the chopper, so that some other guy(s) can have it?
Is it possible that greed (for points) is THAT f*cking big?! Don't people play for fun?
Sad
p.s: oh yes, I know noone cares, nor do people who take choppers read these forums, but this kind of makes me feel better
