Yeah it sucks, the missiles are too spread apart.
The apache is neat and very fast though.

Yeah, it doesn't stand a chance if the apache has a good pilot, I frequently fly the apache by myself (gunners are useless in this game) and I very very rarely lose a dogfight against the hind with a gunner.

You have to be kidding right???? Once you take out there heli's you start to take out there troops and boats. A good gunner is really great to take them out, Unless you totaly suck ass setting them up, or you care more about getting your own kills.

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

No, soupy, it's the opposite. I would rather get my gunner 600 kills than myself getting 1. My job is to keep us alive at all costs, be it killing the target myself once he fails. I have friends from xfire gun for me and they get kills, but 99% of people that get in my gunner's seat are absolutely blind. I'd love a gunner who actually spotted stuff for me. Plus the TV missiles are almost taken out of the picture for gunners, and the machine gun isn't super effective considering I can take out the boat in a single missile. These missile are on steriods. Typically a crappy gunner is just a liabilty. I give my gunners a fair chance before I do everything myself, and hell, sometimes they don't care, I've helped 2 guys to silver(myself being gold) on driver kill assists alone. I am confident I know where the TV missile recticle is, and if I see something that needs one (such as a chopper about to take off) I can easily set him up, and most of the time they sit there shooting it with the machine guns. I typically let my gunner get the jet skis, but those can be tough (I gun sometimes too) and it's just so easy to hit with a missile as a pilot.

In BF2 vanilla I was a gunner's best friend. In vanilla I got the silvers for his kill assists.

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

This Russian garbage is so heavy hard to manuaver, and weapons just plain suck. Need i say more?

Did you play DesertCombat? if you did then yeah sure you wont be impressed or I would say you wont expect something else. This thing is not intended to manuever. Its mainly a transport helo with some rockets and guns.

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

:laugh: wow they actually made something as it is in real life

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

Well, unreal or not I find it to be very real concidering the way people fly i.e. capping flags and sh1t with helicopters etc...
Ofcourse the game physics engine should allow easy flagg capping with a Hind imo :laugh:

I bet they made it unable to carry troops just because of people like mentioned above.. damn you people!

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

Complaining, well I won't complain as to how its designed but I can sure say I never once had a patch fail in 1942, vietnam. They should really into fixing these 'problems'. I have read so many things about people who experience problems with patches installing and such. I haven't had problems installing a patch, but I have been getting this unmodified content error from servers. Its just alot of trouble to now re-install two different games. Especially if you just want to play the freaking game. Yeah I can see where complaining would be exceptional. I never once remember this many complaints about 1942.

The Hind however in my opinion (not flown it yet) is good as is. They atleast put it in the game no need to complain about something so small as maybe the hind not flying the way you want it to.

PS The Hind is a transport helicopter as well. Keep that in mind, and that it was built for transportation FIRST and an Attack Helicopter second!

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

Bearing the fact that it is a transport helo first then why did DICE limit it to just being an attack helo? It is a hybrid and sucks when stuck at only one job. The only advantage it had was the ability to carry troops.

Yes indeed and now flag capping heli pilots took that away from the foot soldiers!! morons:wall:

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

I flew it...didnt find anything wrong with it...good manueverabilty..apache cool also.

I love how the apache controls are a bit more realistic where it takes skill to fly it...

woah what game r u playin??? cobra me thnks

Re: The HIND (what a hunk of Junk)

I like it.

Im not really quite used to the handling of it as it seems slower but it glides well like the helicopters in BF Vietnam. You can also circle nose down for your gunner to shoot the **** into stuff.
