Re: PlaneWhore: yet another AA vs jet thread (renamed)
Not any noob can get in AA and shoot down a skilled pilot (plane or chopper). Because (atleast on a jet) when someone is in AA turret it shows up on your screen. I find that cheap. Extremely cheap. I mean you may as well have every antitank guy show up on a triangle for the tankers.
What about a very skilled player going up a noob pilot? Noob pilot can just drop down from the sky and bomb ANYONE. Personally, I jump in a AA and try to blow someone up, they just launch flares and leave. Maybe with one missile hitting them. Then they come back from nowhere and blow you up. It doens't matter whether someone is skilled or not. Jets are unfair in my opinion. Sure it's fun for you hardcore pilots but it's not any fun for other people that are desperatly trying to score points on the ground. In fact I may as well just copy and paste my last post because I dont think some of you thinkheaded people read it.
Here's something for you so called "skilled" pilots out there to read. Alot of you will say that it takes skill to fly around and bomb people and you're in a plane so you dont take flags but you're up there to help the team. I really don't think so. You might say that but the truth is, it's easier to get kills in the air and feel more special at the end of the round when you get gold with a 30:1 kill-death ratio. Sure it takes skills to be a great pilot but it doesn't take skills to look at a tank on the ground and drop it and kill him. or a DPV. I know it's easy to be up there because I do it too once in a while. What gripes everyone else that isn't a pilot is there they are skilled at what they do too. Different teamwork strategies to take a flag without getting shot/killed off. Capping a flag in a certain amount of time and making sure you aren't seen all at the same time. GREAT! Good job team! but then some little pilot (noob or skilled, doens't matter) comes down and blows everyone up. Pilot is happy. He thinks "whoa that was easier than being on the ground and blowing everyone else". that's why theres like 5 people wating for planes sometimes.
My point is now that groundpounders have a chance at the pilots, the pilots are ****ed. But that's because it's just a sudden change. You can avoid getting killed and change your strategy. You just have to get used to it. I mean serious did you install and play battlefield 2 on the first day and start pwning? No. You worked at it to get the skill you have. Keep on going. Just remember that some groundpounders stay alive because of THEIR skill. and it was so easy for THEM to be killed. I mean they don't even have countermeasures. So pilots still have advantage. So learn to use them properly.
