    Fast and agile. I'm much more of a jet pilot than a helo pilot, but it seemed really nice to me. I was hitting 420+Km/h in sustained forward flight, compared to 300-320Km/h or so in the MEC chopper. I don't fly the helos enough to know how that rates against the US and China choppers, but it seemed damn fast to me. My biggest problem in the helos has always been zooming into an area and going quickly into a nice steady hover, but the Tiger did it for me with ease.

      Sweet that sounds excellent. It does seem fast all right, I have gotten those speeds in the other helis but that was in a dive :p. I was worried that it would turn out like the SF helis which i really dont enjoy flying although the Apache is about bearable.

          has the same gun as the MEC chopper. Takeoffs are tricky, since u cant move around or you'll flip over. Basically the MEEC chopper and the tiger are the same.

            I had that happen on take-off on Smoke Screen. It only happened in the chopper closest to the jet hangers though, I thought it might be a bug? The chopper furthest from the hangers was fine for me, 4 of 4 clean takeoffs; the other one flipped over 3 of 4 times.

              Sounds ominous lol. Dice will overnerf it and overpower the eurofighter when they get sick of the bitching and release a balance patch. Good news though really .

                  It makes me laugh becaase its got a silly name (and therefore kill message)

                  you [tiger MAP] me

                  It is nice though as its got the MEC cannon and lots of room to manouvre on those big maps + lots of armour to kill.

                    I don't like it at all. Might be fast forward but the rudder turn is nonexistant at typical combat speeds.

                      Yep i dont like it either. It seems quite fast but the rudder is useless. Im having serious issues circle strafing with the shagging thing. It also seems to have a random drop. A couple of times i was missile strafing and it just went into a plunge and there was no getting back in the air, was very weird.

                      I think if I increased the pitch and yaw it might be more useable but that would completely screw the cobra and z10 .
                      Maybe I just need more time with it.

                      I like the gun and the rockets seem fairly close together thats about all i like really though :p.

                        I know most will probably get mad at me for picking this out, but I found seat-hopping tough in it. It still got the job done though.

                          I also don't like it, apart from rolling it 3 times before managing to take off it's far to sluggish. It likes to dive fast but takes forever to pull back up, and i was not able to seat switch either without the chopper face planting into the ground.

                            It acts like the apache, but the apache you can nose it down more, and not go into a dive. This helicopter, acted at first as if it were going to fly like the apache. However I soon found out different. Coming up out of a dive you usually end up either sliding on the ground or dieing because you couldn't pull up. It sucks against the MEC helo. I did manage to kill it once or twice, but it wasn't easy. Its far from being easy to fly. I take that back actually its easy to fly around, but get in a situation and your screwed..

                            Also something odd, I got hit by the MEC helo's tv missile, and it didn't kill me. It put me down to 4 ticks of life.

                              To sum it up into two concise words: It blows.

                              Back to SF I go. At least it was only a $10 learning experience.
