ill get negs and get flamed just for stating my opinion like i always do but anyway....
why the hell do you all love the Mi-28, I call it the fatass noob helo.  Why? because it the only chopper that people think they can get good scores with when they dont even need it, and it fly's like a damn bus.  you all love it because of the gun, pfft.  First of all if your good with the tv missile you dont even need the guns on air targets and the rotary cannons on the cobra and z10 work just fine on jeeps, boats and guys.  its lack of menueverability will just own you.  not to mention its much more prone to getting hit by a tv missile do to its huge ass mid section with its fatass engines.  i just think it should be rated the worst of the 3 choppers.
agree?
disagree?
i dont care :\
flame me, go ahead.

I actually agree with you.

It takes no skill to be a gunner in it.
Just shoot randomly at an enemy base and your likely to get a kill.

& its slow.

Well, there's nothing like the Mi-22 death cannon raining death on the infantry below. It's simply more destructive. Other than that, I prefer the other choppers as well.

the only this i also find it good for is barell rolling, go try it for some reason it owns at barell rolling...you can do it so fast and lose very little altitude

I've never known the size of the helo to make a significant difference. It's  slightly less maneuverable but its 30mm cannon simply destroys infantry. I think it's awesome for the cannon alone.
It has a good cannon, very powerful, other then that it's a fat piece of shit. On top of that, the T.V missle is so far below the crosshair of the pilot.

Agree with the gunner part, its too easy. But saying that it takes skill as a pilot to not get shot down (as you have aready pointed out) so i have to disagree. Also you still have to be somewhat competant with the gun, I've flown with complete noobs who just spray the whole area and get no kills and wonder how others get tones of kills in sharqi.

Yes the gunns good but you still need to aim, but its slow and big so easyier to get shot down, making it good in air to ground but bad in air to air fights.

guys, thats what i listed in my rant. you dont even need the 30mm cannon, the rotary cannon and the cobra and the z10 work just fine on jeeps and infantry if you know where/how to aim.  and on air targets your fine if you just know how to use the tv....

It does take skill to be a gunner and use the mini gun, not a lot, but it does. The real skills comes in when using the TV missile.

I personally prefer the cobra or z-10. Probably because they are more narrow and the pilot rockets hit closer together.

actually for some reason i can out maneuver a ah-1z, gos just as fast, and its way more forgiving than the american chopper. well its personal preference. what view do you guys fly in? i fly the mi-28 and every chopper in cockpit view where you see the frame not the hud view.

ill disagree that it's the worst chopper. in fact, i think it is my favorite of the three. My opinion, and here's why: Yeah it's a bigger target and a little slower, but with a good gunner taking out the other choppers with a tv, the slowness and size of it become a non-issue. then the only thing you need to worry about is ground targets, and this is where the cannon dominates infantry like a bad bondage porno. It's not hard to dodge rockets if you stay at the right height, are always aware, and moving. AA is not a problem as the cannon doesn't even need to come close to kill the guy on it, plus it can destroy the mounted aa faster. also, the cannon destroys and damages vehicles much faster, plus the explosive round is better at taking out infantry on 50 cals, which we all know is the biggest threat to a chopper..... you guys all knew this, most of the people posting here have over 150 hours in the chopper. But that's why it's better, or at least my favorite. note my disclaimer though, you must have a good gunner that can neutralize the other choppers, or pray they have a poor one so i can move in a take it out with my 8 rockets and the cannon.  (i should note too that around 97-98% of my time in a chopper is pilot time, i rarely gun, so this is from a pilots view)

i think being a little bulkier and a little slower is a tradeoff im willing to make for that kick-ass cannon. i am not saying the apache is crap, i love it, i just think the mec chopper is my personal favorite..... well, at least i think we can agree it's better than a flippin hind.... although they will never meet.... or will they???

Hmmmm, I like it best to, from a piloting point of view, yeah it's a big fat ass, and a Cobra has the advantage, however, with it's larger mass, i feel atleast it is more stable, as it is big, ergo harder to turn, it's like a big stable platform, for your gunner to blow the shit out of anything that moves.

If you die in it, well you suck, end of

Agree with your OP, but I DO like the MI-28 cannon when flying MEC....

The only time I use 3rd person view in chopper is if I/ we have suddenly lost sight of the enemy chopper (through our own stupidity...) in a close air-air battle...and then only long enuff to spot him..

Course it takes skill to gun in the Mi-28.

My friend P-Murda got 97 kills the other night only dying once, the next round he was banned from the server for suspected Aimbot which he doesnt use.

I've played plenty of Sharqi where noob gunners have got less kills than me going infantry.

noone seems to ever mention the fact that the missiles on the m1 are much wider making it a very uneven dogfight
the same thing goes wit hthe hind vs apache
from a pilots perspective the mi and hind are shit
from a gunner position the mi is the greatest thing ever with the splash dmg with the mg you get a kill when it gets anywhere near them
i think the hind gun is only slightly better than the apache if at all

i think its a crappy imbalance made by dice. if youre dogfighting with mi vs w/e you have to either try to get on their side or just pick the left or right rocket ..and thats stupid. i think they never figured youd ever be piloting without a gunner.
