I know all the solo TV'ing chopper fuckheads will give me a hard time about this.... But really. it's lame the way they will now even TK for the chance to solo chopper. And the chopper isn't the only issue here.
Purpose of this post:
To request that people agree with me that it would be smart/practical/realistic/nice to disallow seat changing within a short timeframe of the last seat change (ie 5 or 10 seonds). This way it's possible to change seats only once every x seconds, thus preventing solo choppering, seat changing to avoid missle locks etc. etc.
What's NOT the purpose of this post:
To prevent seat changing at all. I have no problem with a gunner jumping into the pilots seat of a BH when the pilot is killed. or swapping seats in the APC if there's a spec ops out there with a satchel of rectal hurting. I feel just fine about the driver of a transport going gunner when he needs to. I do not want to PREVENT seat changing, I want to prevent the abuse and subsequent problems arising from said abuse by imposing fixed delay between each change.
The reasons behind this request:
It's lame the way people will now TK THEIR OWN GUNNER in an attack helo just for the chance to solo fly. Beside costing your team valuable tickets, you now actively PREVENT a member of your team from using valuable hardware. This is against the RoE. Not to mention how bloody annoying it is for the gunner. Similarly, people rock back and forth inside the blackhawk to repair then shoot, then repair again WITHIN seconds... It takes time to change positions in a vehicle in motion. I see no problem in disallowing continous seat changing. going driver gunner driver in a hummer is a matter of mili seconds. I agree the driver should have the ability to pump some lead into the oncoming horde. But he should have to take the consequence of seat changing, and that means staying with his newly selected seat for the next x seconds, or abandoning his vehicle. This should also effectively prevent armorwhores from going topgunner just to take pot shots at a helo, as they will then become targets of opportunity for snipers. In general thre's not enough seats in the vehicles as it is, so we need to find effective ways to PREVENT people from hoggin' the few seats there are !
Discuss !
