Stable Chopper.

Re: Stable Chopper.

i know this may sound silly but what about landing the chopper...i do this all the time land somewhere out of sight, take down my target then continue. its alot easier than trying to get the timing right without a pilot

Re: Stable Chopper.

I'd like to see pilots switching to gunners seat during combat in real life.

Re: Stable Chopper.

Practice silly people. The chopper spins the same way every time you switch seats. Get used to the way it operates and get your timing down. Rotate the chopper left... seat switch and by the time your ready to shoot you should be lined up with the target. Rotate more or less to the left to adjust to your timing.

Re: Stable Chopper.

Actually it is. These days 75% of the pilots I fly with, wont give me a TV Guided shot unless I ask them to. And 50% of those guys, either dont listen, or dont comprehend what Im asking them to do. Its rather pathetic.

75% of gunners I fly with don't know what a TV guided missle is
Talking about that, I noticed that in SF it's all the pilot's game. Viewing distance seems to be MUCH less than say Wake and + he can't afford to stand there for a few seconds with AT threats at every roof and a bunch of AAs everywhere. The safest thing is to fly like mad.

Re: Stable Chopper.

Trying to pilot and co-pilot the attack helo at the same time is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Either get a a decent pilot and copilot together, work as a team and the attack helo becomes the ultimate weapon in the game, or just dont bother.

Re: Stable Chopper.

I hope I never have people trying to solo-fly the attack chopper on my team.

Sure fire way to give an advantage to the other team.

Re: Stable Chopper.

agreed, though it is a handy skill to have when the enemy team isnt as skilled / and you have no good pilots/gunners on your team

oh yeah and in the new update they want to nerf the choppers this time

Re: Stable Chopper.

There is a small box which indicate what the gunner is viewing throught tv missile, just put it around the vehicle and you will provide an easy target to your gunner.

HOPEFULLY you dont pilot alot.... because that is NOT where you aim for the camera. it is slightly below center. and there is a thread talking about this, but its not exact. i had my computer over my friends house, and steadied the chopper, and it was slightly below center.

....and i wonder why pilots always aim too high... its always either too high or too low.

This is correct. That little indicator only tells you which direction the co-pilot is facing. It does NOT indicate where on your HUD your co-pilot is actually viewing.

Re: Stable Chopper.

Okay guys im a damn good TV guider for the chopper and ive been working on flying solo and doing this. one of the clans we scrim has a guy who nails tihngs perfectly and goes undetected, and no he isnt hacking. but does anybody know if u can keep the chopper stable while in gunner seat besides tilting the nose forward and to the side a little.

are you talking about Cilit from Crimson?

Geez, find me online, I lined this guy up and hovered there for a good 15 seconds waiting for him to take a shot, till the AA started locking us. He never did ANother guy keep insisting on shooting the tanks with the machine gun.
