    Blast off!!

    I am the only one that wishes the air vehicles, specifically helicopters, had ejector seats?

    If i'm diving to avoid AA and realized that there's no hope of saving my craft I bail. If I was diving steep enough prior to that, my copilot and I are greeted by a flaming ball of wreckage that we once bore to lofty heights - so useful is this encounter that we can't open our parachutes and become flatter than the ground on which we land, or rather splatter, on in a matter of seconds.

    Meanwhile the aerial acrobatics that was my death has caused onlookers to applaud with glee at the text that boldly states "tjmhay is no more."

    Obviously if I’m on the ground i don't want to get out of the heli by being blasted up into the air, but while in the air this is a useful tool.

    Another peeve: Vehicles (buggies) blow up practically instantly in shallow water. Not only have I now totally soaked myself, I've turned my transportation into a time bomb that no one who was passenger to can escape from. The brevity of my encounter with water is almost as deadly as the parked FAV that slides ever so cautiously towards me. In a flash, like a cheetah to the kill, it crushes me and continues onward on it’s slow and monotonous hunt. Make no mistake, transports do kill, and they don’t have to be occupied to do so.


    For those of you who didn't realize the pic is of what happens now. You bassically get dropped out of the bottom of the chopper - I'm suggesting you just get dropped ABOVE the chopper to stop the wreckage messing up your parachute. i DONT want to be "pooped" out of the heli.

          Actually, he kinda has a point. I've been killed my my own burning bird before. It would be kinda handy to have an ejector for jets. Maybe something like hitting E activates it if you are on fire. It would make it harder for ground pounders to track ya too. Nothing like surviving a flaming plane only to be greated by lead on the ground.

          Whooohooo!
          *Bang*
          thud
          Damn.

            I like the idea, to many times have i bailed just for my chute to not deploy. Why? Because there was a freaking chopper/jet in the way where the chute goes, and as we all know it wont deploy unless it has room. THose that jump off buildings know this well...because if you are too close or jump in an ally way...oops chute doesnt work, no matter how much you pound that 9 key lol. The ejector seat would be kind of cool...reducing the chance of that stupid wreckage getting in the way and making you go splat

              I get killed by my blown up air vehicle 80% time when I try to leave it to save my life. Leaving out ejector seats on planes was BS. I don't even leave the plane anymore since I know I'm going to die.

                I miss the days of operation flashpoint where sitting on a runway you click eject and fly up and parachute down

                It would be very handy since you tend to get killed so much by your own plane burning or not...would be nice to add this for the cobra as well...just have to have the blades blow off and eject out like in real life.

                  I think you missed the point - the image was a satirical look at what currently happens to the pilots of helis. They fall out of a heli as opposed to blown out which is more practical.

                    I wish you could turn your jet 180&#176; and hardcore eject yourself into a volley of enemies, killing yourself and all of them in the process, with the blast radius of your impact resembling the size of the map.

                      Especially with the changes to helis, you have mere SECONDS before you're blown to bits. It WOULD be nice to have a chance at surviving.

                      On the other hand, most chopper 'pilots' go down with the chopper so that they may respawn and continue whoring it

                        Thank God for someone with a sense of humor...

                        Especially in these dark days of the 1.2 world, where so many of our bretheren have been brought low by EA's abject inability to code anything to run on any but a tiny subset of the available video cards on the market.

                        But onto the topic at hand... ejecting from helos. Ain't gonna happen in real life, so this is one of those incredibly rare, almost unheard of instances in which the geniuses at DICE actually seem to have gotten it right.

                        Sorta. Well, kinda sorta. Prolly unintentionally. Damn I hate those programmers at DICE - arghdamnsnaggerlyfatushis!#&$^#^!

                        That's it - they're fatushis! Every single one of them! Swedish fatushis!

                          yeah.. take a helo ride and eject out of it in real like.. you wont get very far.... But it would be funny to see ejection seats in planes.

                              They would prolly mess it up so it ejects you into your own aircraft to kill you co-pilot. Or it would shoot you at very high speeds towards the ground and hte chute wont release at random times throughout the flight.
                              Would be sweet though so if a plane few upside down and ejected it would make my day.
