BF2S Forums Chopper hacks?

check out this thread.

flying solo imo is actually the best since the chances of me getting a good pilot or gunner is rare.  the biggest advantage of going solo is survivability since you can break aa locks.  i don't see anything wierd with the guy you're mentioning; simply because this method is how i got my kill streak- 60.  120 points right there.  every chance i can get the chopper on wake i take advantage of that.

edit:  i haven't mastered firing the cannons or machine guns on them but have made some kills like that going solo.  i have seen a guy that was really, really good with all the weapons on a chopper while solo (this was way before 1.2 when many people thought this method was a hack (including myself ).

Sounds clean then, I was unaware of the f2 breaking aa locks.  Wonder if that will be addressed in a patch.  Thanks for the quick feedback guys.

My brother does that heaps.

My TV missles aren't so kind.

They refuse to change course quickly enough.

This is very easy to do. I do it a lot.  You simple rotate your chopper to the left ~30degrees from target, hit F2, right click, fire, guide to target then F1.   

To make it easier I have a 5 button mouse that has the extra buttons on both side so I can switch very quickly.

i miss being able to go solo in a black hawk. in the older version i did that whenever no one wanted in and it would just circle the targets by itself. one in a while i had to redirect it though. oh good good times.....

I have to agree with the people wanting EA to fix the lock on issue.  That is a blantant exploit of the game mechanics.  As a jet pilot that pisses me off when someone jumps seats and I lose the lock after I fired missles to kill it. 

I'm ok with the cannon at short range and the tv missles at medium to long range.  I'm an average helo pilot at best.  One pilot I know is an excellent pilot but only an average gunner at best.  When we team up were pretty much unstoppable.  Today we had a combined 30 kills and 2 deaths.

Really hope EA nerfs it so people actually learn how to you know...FLY.

its not easy. only a handfull of people can do it really well

It's not easy, but its not very hard either. I'm not the best gunner in the world and I have no problem using this tactic. What primacord said is partly true, as some of the people who do this are very good pilots, and many of them truly suck. I remember fighting Doom-Avalanche (who pretty much always flies solo and uses the single seat tv missile trick)... when I closed in on him he crashed into the ground before I could fire a shot. When he's gunning though he is very good.

if it was easy, why cant everyone use the TV missiles well?

Handfull of people? Yeah right.

Everyone and there mom is doing that these days, it is easy and with all things, gets even easier with practice.

It's just pointing and clicking so there isn't a whole lot of thought process involved. I don't know why anyone would pat themselves over the back after racking up kills with TV missiles.

To make things worse you can't be shot down by AA when you're in gunner mode, lawl.

le sigh

lol you cant actually be searoius

its deffinately not easy


I bet that if 99% of you guys went up against a CAL Chopper gunner you would get absolutely owned.  I bet none of you would even get a kill against a CAL chopper TEAM in a 2vs2 or 2vs10 or whatever.

thank god EA lets you solo a chopper

I mean i cant even count up how many times i get stuck with a noob gunner that points me at the grass because they think its "leet" to fly low.

thats one of the best gunners in CAL from Team iLLicit.

I guess i'm the only one who thinks doing good in a chopper should be the result of being able to fly good...not switching to the gunner seat while your chopper goes ballerina making you unlockable by AA.

Oh well, at least in special forces the pilot matters most.

Oh and FYI, if you get taken down by a TV missile i wouldnt call that being owned. Being owned is getting knifed in the face or pistol whipped.

Getting owned relates to doing something that requires lots of skill. TV missiles require a little more skill then the AWP in CS...heh.

I fly SOLO ALL THE TIME. If i get some guy with me, he usually sucks (no offense).
