not sure if this has been posted before.. sorry if it has.. was watching this wondering what this would have looked like post 1.2. These guys are impossibly good at the helicopter.. I am sure they will still rule the skies.. but It would be something to see how different their tactics would be..

would hate to be on the other team with these guys in the air..... pre or post 1.2..

"impossibly good" is not the adjective i'd use. Above average certainly, but that pilot doesnt know when to back off, and the gunner missed a few butter shots. Camping a flag for 10 minutes does not actually constitute skill...

Yeah, that wasn't incredibly impressive.

Like Skruples said, there's nothing terribly difficult about sitting above a flag and killing people.

Hah, my friend and I make a much better chopper team then what they had going on in that video. We saw this when it first came out and since then we always throw smoke at our feet waiting for a chopper, cause thats how the 'world champs' did it .

As some one who prefers the chopper over anything else, I like this patch, quite frankly, with the exception of the AA, everything feels balanced to me. Before the patch, I would get lazy and fly in circles around a base while my gunner goes all the work, occasionally getting a tank that my gunner couldn't because he was reloading. The only thing that could stop us was my own errors, an FAV, or another chopper.
Now I'm flying 10 feet off the ground, avoiding AA and jeeps in concentration, and the game has never been more fun for me. And thats all it really comes down to for me in the long run. Just fun.

While in the normal battlefield games I would say yes however in this game, which is a tournament game, of 10 or less people on each side with only 4 flags, this is exactly what they should be doing. They press them constantly via tanks, apcs and chopper attacks. The chopper has to do most of the work as it's the most maneuverable and devistating platform they have. You see CHONG neuter the EGO team (Or was it the other way around?) throughout the game by just keeping pressure on their mainbase.

I don't agree with this tactic on a 32 or 64 player map but in this specific setting I applaud their expert play.

I didn't say they were doing anything wrong. I said it wasn't very difficult.

Thats all? Amazin skills, NOT. Sorry to say but this video footage of these "above average" helo-boys isn't all that exciting. And after the AA tune up, they won't stand a change hoovering like that, the gunner misses to many shots and missing a chopper that just ignited his engines is kinda shamefull.

Now I respect a F15 gunner that manages to fire all missiles on target at full speed!

YOu flyboys won't have a chance with the new AA, but keep getting into a plane, your time has come. Anyone can baserape and own. What was it like 15 against 5. (ERO) Obviously they weren't that experienced to even get into thier chopper and wonder why they didn't have a lonewolf to camp thier spawnpoint with the M95? Small maps are ridiculous. But go ahead and flame.

Another thing I hate people that judge off others stats. Just because they don't fly planes for 8,000 hours and have 800,000 kills doesnt mean they suck, it means they choose not to use, and that is not thier playing field. People are idiots, you don't have a 'general' idea, someone that judged me once was totally wrong. Try again.
