I've been banned at least 9 times for seathopping.  It's a ridiculous rule.

The rest of us get sick and tired of wasting our time dying while our gunners insist on sucking, and our pilots think helos are flag wagons.  Go practice in unranked servers.

I suck at flying, and am average at gunning.  and I've played the game for over 1440 hours. 

The reason I suck,  because solo pilots insist of flying alone, many people ONLY fly, and pilots think the chopper is thiers.  I don't even bother trying to fly.  I'd rather play the GAME, then sit around and bitch and moan for the damn flying toys.

But the people bitching about shitty gunners, are partially to blame.  It's not possible to get experience as a gunner unless you PLAY THE GAME.  I understand, noob gunners are frustrating.  But it's part of the game.

Same thing as soloing.  Not worthy of a kick.

On one side if you have a noob gunner, you can't get rid of him/ won't politely leave, constantly respawn at the chopper to noob it up again.

On the other side solo whores steal the chopper or readline you/ never evengive you a chance to learn or prove your skill, assuming by one bad shot that you're a noob.

Hell the Majority of my helo time, is in a damn transport chopper.  It's just not worth all the BS.

Re: L33t soloz0r pilots

Your "noob gunner" who's "getting you killed" is still a "noob gunner" because of leetshits like you who M95'd him out of "their" choppers for the past 300 hours he's played BF2. Maybe, God forbid the thought, if you let him gun, he'll stop being a "noob gunner" and you can take him for rides once he turns l3et5h1tpr0 like you.

Or just take him along, so that when you inevitably crash your sorry ass into a nuclear reactor cooling tower you can have an easy target to blame. I mean, after all, joining the target of your anger's squad, getting on VOIP and screaming like a 6-year-old girl is soooo much more leet than just global chat spamming the enemy anti-aircraft gunner, so it's obviously much preferable to have a scapegoat on your team.

That may be the case with some people, but not all, I know from experience, like you, having a a "noob" looking rank, most decent pilots will tell us to fuck off if we get in the chopper, I don't, Im not great at gunning or flying, but i can hold my own, i may get pretty pissed off at noob gunners or pilots, but id never tk them. Like snake said, bf2 players lack common sense, if you really suck, try and fix it, doing the same thing over and over that results in you sucking wont get you anywhere, I learnt everything i know from tutorials and watching other heli vids. Creating a local server and practicing there is good, that's where i learnt to funnel and use the TV then you just gotta be patient with other players letting you fly with them. Yes everyone needs to learn somewhere, but learning on a ranked server while you suck is pretty much gonna piss people off, like i said - tutorials, vids, local servers and SP dragon valley for soloing. Anyway, this rather off topic. Sorry

How do I feel about seat-switching? Give people a chance to gun. If they suck, then kill them yourself with your main missiles. The only time seat-switching is ok is if you hang around the heli pad and see that no one else wants to get in the heli. At that point, since no one wants to be your gunner, you have no choice. But if someone wants to, they have every right. It's a team game and that helicopter has two seats. It's not your personal helicopter.

If you do want your own personal helicopter because that's how selfish you are, then by all means make your own server and kick people who get in your helicopter. Good luck keeping the server full, though.

Solo'ing has a time and a place. I've solo'd myself on more than a few occasions, and gotten one of my BR scores doing so.

However, I will usually look to pick up a gunner. I do tend to play only a few severs so I know who's good and who isn't. BUT I will still pick someone up even if I don't know whether they're goodish or not. If they're crap with the TV's I'll just take the threat out with the pilots missles (why do people say that they're no good? In the cobra they're fantastic!!) and let them kill the ground troops with the chain gun. I even had to point out to someone only last night that TV missles could be guided, so not everyone is vastly experienced.

I'm no leet pilot by any means, but I've had an awful lot of compliments about my flying from gunners RE lining them up for shots etc.

Go on our server and do it all you want just dont kill anybody to do it is our motto and I think it should be the same for all servers.

As in about 30 minutes ago? You kept whoring the AA and nailing my arse in the A10 on Road Rage. I work shifts, that's my excuse

When the pilot switches seats in the chopper it breaks the mobile AA missile lock. That's totally unfair.


No one ever thinks about how the mobile AA driver feels about things.

That was patched out a long time ago, noob. In the good old days you could just switch right above mobile AA and let the chopper carry you out of range. Good times...

fail. what i think is lame is going up against another chopper that has both and there isn't a decent gunner on my team. if i solo and kill someone it shows that they aren't as good as me. it is harder to kill a chopper with a gunner and pilot than it is to kill someone soloing. you get killed, try again and get better, don't kick/ban.

amen. when i used to play 1.03 a few months back, i would teach someone because i'd see them again every night. but with 1.41, i rarely see the same person twice, so why bother?

That's how I do it too, I first say them several time to go out, sometimes people ak 'Why? So I can go solo' and than they hop out. Usualy, they don't and they'll get an extra death.
