    1.2 Pilots survival guide..

    Well, it has been requested, and I'm quite tired of all these crybabies that whines about "OMG AA IS T3H PWNING MEE!!"

    This guide will be divided in two chapters, choppers and planes..

    Planes:
    - Please dont fly your vehicle like a tank, its dumb and you will die quick. Tank aviation is normally identified by flying in straight line ignoring a lock, matter of fact, always break off when you take damage or get lock.

    -Don't freak out when you get a lock, the missiles have a travel time that is longer than bullets, and do evasive manouvers whilst releasing countermeasures. Also remember that the slow warning beeps indicates a lock in progress, at this point you should start flipping around like a madman, when/if the lock gets more hysterical, then drop countermeasures and evade hard.

    -Use ground objects as missile catch.

    -Don't do the same manourvers all the time, people learn from your moves, so be cautious.

    -And most importantly, this wont save you all the time, so I dont wanna hear any whines about my inferior skill as a tutor


    Helicopters:
    -If you take off without a gunner you are bound to be dead.

    -I would suggest that you get on VoIP with your gunner since he is gonna do the dirty work for you.

    -Make sure your gunner takes out AA BEFORE moving into the combat area, otherwise you will be mashed BF2 n00b. (dont take this as a insult, I am just trying to be witty..)

    -Set a task before you go in, such as
    "Am I going tank hunting?"
    "Am I going to clear out infantry?"

    -Use your gunner, alot. His TV guides kills one shot, and his gun tears up infantry.

    -Take advantadge of the environment, and the element of surprise, this is not a sunday-drive, people will be shooting at you.

    -You have a jet chasing you? you dont have any cover to run to? You dont know how to move around your mouse/joystick/whatever around as a possesed?
    May god save you..

    -Flare tactics is pretty much the same as in the plane part, with the exeption of you having lots of them.


    I hope this helps, and I dont wanna see anymore crybaby threads, because flying is not impossible, you just get a bucketful of challenge for the dime.

    And if this thread arent helping you, go find some real world tactics, since the whole thing has been done a whole lot more realistic now.

    And oh, if your one of those retards who TK's for airvehicles, I hope you get your butt shreddered by those AA missiles, you deserve it, morons!

    And all the pointing and laughing about my grammar/spelling, cut it out, I didnt get raised with this language in my mouth..



    Cheers

    This patch will separate the men from the boys. Should be fun!!!


    Don't forget to "Work as a Team". Having your teammates/commander spot for you will allow you to get into position, line up for a clear shot or surprise your opponent.

        Very tricky of you Bbob, giving out this information. Making eveyone think this will help them, when infact its really helping you line them up in your AA sites. Im on to your ruse now.

            Also add: If you fly above a certain height without cover you are dead when they lock onto you.

              I love the new patch, people don't whinge about getting owned by jets (whilst whinning about the aa)
              I love piloting now, it's all airfights now and no base raping

                    only arguement i have is that like 90 percent of the time when im in a jet i drop my chaff and dodge all over but one stinger manages to make its way and hit me and all my armor is down to 4 bars and by the time someone gets a lock on me next time im one dead dude, flying bombers now is like flying a deathtrap u gotta pick your spots or your toast

                      i dont mind the jets being good and from whats said it just sounds like it now actually takes a more skill to use them well. As for the jets i thought a "real" pilot would like a challenge and enjoy the fact that more players will dog fight instead of going on infantry killing missions.

                      just as long as a good pilot isnt taken out without an effort its fine. Its just time the infantry had something to fight back with as u cant relie on a friendly pilot to come save u from a base rape most of the time.

                      the jets should now hopefully be used to take out tanks apcs and other aircraft not just infantry that cant fight back.

                        great, short, not grammatical guide :-)


                        WHAT SKILL DOES IT TAKE TO SIT IN A AA-STATION CLICKING YOUR MOUSE WHEN YOU HEAR: 'BLEEEEEP'?

                        A message to all pilots, infantery, tanks ... If you see an AA station... kill it!

                          I don't think the AA ist that awesome at all. Sure, it got better but it's not impossible to evade it.
                          I bet people will stop using it as much in the next few days anyway since it's kind of boring to sit in an AA site all the time.
                          Here are a few more ticks that work for me:
                          - do a lot of "dive-bombing" i.e. drop down in the target from a high altitude
                          - try aproach the target from an unusual direction (for example: try to bomb stuff coming from the northeast as USMC on Cleansweep and not coming at them straight from the USMC base)
                          - on Wake: when you get locked by an AA site try to fly as low as you can across the water since the AA missles fly upward by default and have a hard time keeping low.
                          Hope this helps. This stuff got me kickvoted yesterday from an italian server after kicking the crap out of the MEC in a F35.

                            nice guide.
                            It's really p***ing me off how before the patch all these whingers were bitching about AA not being effective enough, now that it is really good all the whingers are bitching again because they can no longer own a sever in a plane (if you get shot down within 60sec then you DONT belong in a plane) because AA is to good :wall:
                            If you cant fly and dont wanna get owned by AA DONT get in a plane or Chopper. SIMPLE!!!

                              I would also say stay away from the carrier the USS Essex owns all now, yeah fly high, take out the AA sites with gun and bomb combination, because of how efective the AA is now I think you can get a decent score just from chopper hunting.
