My guess would be he's talking about a macro.  If he isn't very computer savvy (or game savvy) i could see him calling that a hack.  Like mentioned above, you can make it so you switch seats, change to tv missle and launch it (also have it so it constantly clicks so you just move the mouse) all with the hit of a button.  This may be what he means by a helicopter hack.

onlything that could be considered anything close to that would be some feel solo flying an exploit.. which is retarded and false... but also you can use macros for tv missles.. but still doesnt mean youll hit your target soo... no theres no real 'chopper'  hack that i know of.
After watching your tutorials on how to fly after flyin on my own for lotsa hours I've come to the conclusion that you just might use macros.  I been meanin to post on this but I forgot.

It seems like you switch seats, change to TV and fire all within the time it takes to press one button...Or was that video made a long time ago? Not that I care, I don't give two flying fucks, I'm just curious. (not that you'd admit to it)
no.. i dont use macros.. i hate people that do shit like that.  i do have a very good connection (9 ping) which i think allows me to shoot it faster than most people.  other than that its just practice/ timing..

This is as good a place as any for this question. Just to check, you can't repair an attack chopper in the air (no, not hovering over/near a pad, supply crate or friendly vehicle) can you?

Yes you can.  You don't actually have to land to repair, which is useful if an enemy (or perhaps a jelous teamate) put C4 or mines on your helipad

Uh, by having very little throttle,  It may not be possible if you use the keyboard because the throttle is either on, or off (or down i guess, whatever you would call s).  Where if you use a joystick (that has an anolog throttle control) you can have say, 20% throttle.

Just to make sure, not hovering over/near a pad, supply crate or friendly vehicle?

Repairing in a chopper is easy, even when using the keyboard (tap 'w'-throttle). As long as you are within range to crate/pad you will repair automatically, just keep it close enough to hear a constant wrenching sound and watch the health increase!
Dont know whether its me, but I see more people repair like this as opposed to landing on the pad. BTW flying heli's with a keyboard is way easier and better, joysticks only come into their own when flying jets (mainly due to the ability to constantly hold a turn).

oh sorry the clear use of double negatives just had me thinking the guy didn't know how to fly either....
+1 claw for just quoting what was already posted, you must be proud of your genius!

I HIGHLY doubt there are any chopper hacks, what would the hack do anyways.
Doubt it too.

Kinda reminds  me on that "ZOMG-i-was-firing-a-whole-clip-@-you-and-u-didnt-die-so-you-are-using-an-health-increasing-hack-morons" that don`t understand that health/armor etc. is controlled by the server.

I've HEARD that teams like Warchild have a macro that makes their TV missle track at 1000 clicks a second. This allows them to hit their own chopper with their own TV missle.

That isnt necessarily a macro, people bind their mouse wheel down to be their primary fire key. Scroll your mouse wheel down and voila, instant shot spammage... Never used it personally, but I assume seeing it works with guns it would work just aswell in a chopper guiding a TV missile.

I don't think that's possible even with a polling rate of 1000hz.

Some people use macros with solo tv'ing... it isn't that hard to hit f2 > right click > left click. I would have to go out of my way to use a macro to do this, so I don't. I don't really like macros anyway. I can dolphin dive faster tapping ctrl and z than my Razer mouse can do with a macro. My motherboard doesn't like macros either, if I macro too many times it will blue screen my computer. Fun.

To the guy that said this was some sort of flight simulator because it uses the law of physics. The physics are exaggerated in this game for flight. If you took anything remotely like a real plane the maps would be far too small to maneuver it. It would accelerate too fast and decelerate even slower.



I don't know where you all learned to fly choppers but if you have neutral throttle in this game the helicopter will hover. You can also tap the throttle key of your liking to aid in maneuvers, basically the same thing that a joystick throttle does. There isn't a hack to fly for you, and if there is people could still fly better than that hack could ever do. There is too many variables that a hack would have to contend with to be even remotely effective.

To do tight vertical spins with a chopper, either facing down or up you do an exaggerated spin and angle the nose up or down and control the throttle. You can easily practice this on an aircraft carrier with the cobra. You can do not only nose but tail spins as well on the carrier deck with ease, although if you are a novice I would suggest tackling the nose spin first. Another tip to do this is alternating the rudder(a,d on keyboard) while in a spin. Always have atleast 90% throttle while upside down doing a loop or barrel roll. You can do loops faster when letting off the throttle when the nose is at a 45 degree angle towards the ground(depending on distance from ground). Other than that you can figure it out...

Practice makes perfect.
