    So ramming is cheap, but not...

    First off, I spend most of my time when I'm in the air in a transport helicopter or a parachute, so before I start, note I am not one of those people who rams black hawks with my jet since I almost never fly jets. Infact, I get a rammed a lot more than I ram. However, I'm so sick of people talking about rammers like they are the scum of the Earth. A pilot does a quick swoop on a base, presses a button, and gets 3 spawn kills, and people start building golden statues of them. Meanwhile, someone observes how many people are in a vehicle, guages their likleyhood of taking it out from their position, determines it would worth taking their own life to reduce the risk, is actually required to have some kind of flight skills to direct their jet towards the enemy target, and even kills themself in the process, and they are the lowest scum of the Earth?

    Can someone tell me the logic in this? Is it the blackhawk whore squads who decide what's cheap these days?

    Don't tell me it takes skill to ram.
    It doesn't.
    It's perty fricken lame.

        I did, but I still disagree with you. First, I don't see too many people building golden statues of pilots. Instead, I read a lot of complaints about them and their overpowered planes.

        Second, I think that ramming is sort of cheapish, because the plane can easily take out the chopper with good flying and weapons use. It's not like some spec ops guy running out with the C4 at a tank that's been raping everyone and then detonating it (and himself); chances are very good that's the only way to take out the tank.

        But a plane ramming? Why, when there are missiles and guns and bombs?

          Okay, maybe I exaggerated...a lot...and that's fair enough. But if someone can take out a black hawk with the jet anyway, why should they have the right to kill themselves doing it? I mean, they're the only one who ends up hurting.

            Yes.
            And I responded to:

            I disagree that it takes any sort of "skill" to ram. Getting the plane off the runway is harder than it is to point your nose at a BH and run into him.

            If I mis-read your post, it could be because it wasn't very well phrased. You might want to consiter a re-write.

                  Life is not a cheap thing, if you give your life it's actually a pretty "expensive" thing to do.

                    It a game you idiot, there is no such think as life in it you just respawn and go off again, life is completly worthless on the game, a good pilot would take it out with the gun and probally hit it with one missle he wouldn't ram it because thats what people who can't fly do, its cheap and just waste your teams resources, and i can garrenty you the person won't no how many people are in the chopper before they have hit it.

                      Well most of you asses assume someone rams you on purpose everytime, I hit BH's because fo accidents and the first thing out of the moronic pilot's mouth is OMGod ban shogun he is ramming us on purpose. Like I would waste a plane on getting a couple kills, people who bitch about ramming need to be exterminated.

                        Guns work just fine. Missiles are desidedely broken, but if you can't nail a BH with 'em, you have no business flying.
                        I'm a HORRIBLE pilot, but I can still bingo a BlackHawk WITHOUT resorting to noobish rams.

                        Yer kidding right?
                        Life is not a cheap thing??
                        Dude... maybe in real life that's true, but in this fruggin GAME, lives are cheaper than anything else going. Lives are cheaper than AMMO!

                        The bottom line is that ramming isn't fun. It takes NO skill. Any shaved monkey can ram. It takes skill to shoot stuff down.
                        Further, a GOOD pilot would be able to take out that blackhawk, loop around, bomb a ground target, then pull back to re-arm and engadge more targets all in the time it would take to re-spawn that plane.

                        I don't see where you think you've got ground to stand on here. Next thing you know, you'll be arguing that noob-toob whoring takes skill too!

                          Hmm...how do I've never had to explain something to someone with an IQ below 10 before. I guess I'll try this and see how it goes:

                          Oh please, if anyone really believe that no one would have a decent kill death ratio. People value their lives in games as much as they value their kills. IOW quite a bit.

                            Yeah i do that some time your shooting it and then you turn to move out the way but the chopper also turns that way, and thne they go omg like you said, and then i go stfu look at my score and then they shut up because i'm have more points then them and like 3 deaths.

                              I only ram when flying "Hippos." (The MEC and Chinese choppers)
                              You probably know why I call em hippos.
