What if we had a class of just pilots?

Re: What if we had a class of just pilots?

So how does the pilot class benefit the map?

Great idea!!! they should have an anti air class added aswell

Couldn't they just add a spawn point in the plane the only way to get in it is to spawn in it as a pilot. Have some sort of waiting system then.

Idiots will still bail out for a flag.

Are you suggesting that bailing out of fighters to cap a flag is idiotic? If you are you might want to reconsider.

Ive been suggesting this for a long time! But instead of spawning as a pilot, You become a pilot when you, get in the air craft. Complete with thier own stats catagory. So you can tell who is the best pilot, medic, or whatever. No more jumping in an air craft as a sniper and getting your veteran badge by bombing the carrier ten times. Or having your stats show you have been a medic for 200 hours but 190 of those have been spent in a plane. I think it would solve a lot of problems....Red

Make a server with jets only.

Jet class only.

2 carriers, one for both teams. Possibly a bit of land.

Carriers mapped out as a +

Let the whore stay there and the noobs can improve their skills.

Ofcourse IAR: 20 kills Global: 100

To enter the server. That is all.

After all been sayed,that ,IMHO,is the most valuable solution.
NOT ONLY 4 PILOTS:should be that when you jump into a tank you become a TANK DRIVER (with a separate stats category,together with pilots...)and not a whatever kit you spawn with.

That will make stats a little more clear to see who's the better whatever.

A pilot class would be great. Maybe some training to become 1 would be good too

Re: What if we had a class of just pilots?

hmm, too who ever said this idea was shot down for stupidity in DC. I seem to remember a map called DC-No Fly Zone, which was purely air to air combat. It was a huge map of mountainous terrain with a river running through the middle and huge airfields on each side with lots of bombers, fighters, and a few choppers. oh and SAMs and other AA. No Fly Zone was so rad.

I would love for EA to impliment that one!.

For bf-42 I played in a tournament and we had a mini-mod,Anti-Air class was lovely :)

Re: What if we had a class of just pilots?

HEY!
Thats what medals should be for!

Instead of making aerial like 10 kills make it like 30 so those who manage to do it are good enough or something

Re: What if we had a class of just pilots?

I remember an early video review of BF2. It showed that when you entered a vehicle u became the "driver" class of that vehicle (like when u look at ur co-pilot in the bomber and u see his gas mask, and helmet). However they also showed that when u exited the vehicle you retained this outfit, which I think is a great idea.

I think if used correctly they can provide ground support, clearing the target aera and taking out uAV traliers and radar.
I wish everyone was talking to each other on a regular bases and really using team work, you could totally rule any battlefield.

Re: What if we had a class of just pilots?

The only viable solution I've read so far is the commander-like choosing. It would be harsh on beginner pilots, but if the pilots (and co-pilots) had specific aircraft and position in it that only they would take, it could work. Rejected pilot with highest score could be the co-pilot and rack up time/points by sitting there. A bit boring I suppose, though. But just like communism, people are too greedy and some just want to fly all the time. Only suggestion there is that someone make a seperate mod focusing on aircraft, but then, there are flight simulators that can pull this off much better. Maybe the hardcore pilots should move on.

Well I tried Falcon 4 and Lock On: Modern Combat and I got the feeling like I'm back in 1995. Graphics sucks, controls doesn't feel 'smooth' etc.

Any other suggestions?
