In a 1 v 1 heli dogfight the first tv missle hits if you aren't totally shit. So tell me bf2 master. What advantage does a pair of faggots have over one guy?
2 man teams rape the ground better than a solo'er, but i agree with jord that there is no clear advantage air-to-air
Yeah they do raping the ground. I thought he mighta known I was talking about air to air, hence the .01 tv missle comment...

I was playing Sharki on a server and I would like to play Heli, no matter if pilot or gunner...

Ok, I manage to take it, as a gunner... whenever I missed a thing the pilot (that guy) started to tell:

"Jump out!" "Jump out!" etc.

Anyway I did about 10 kills but he started telling me: "You are really too noob... change game... etc.".

Anyway... we died two times and taken the heli always with me as a gunner and him as a pilot... I reached 20 kills and then, after few misses, HE TEAMKILLED ME in the heli BRINGING me (and just me) out of the map!

Then at respawn he always teamkilled me while I went taking the heli.

Ok he was a great pilot and perhaps I am not the best gunner but THIS CAN'T BE AN ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIUOR of a good BF2 player.

I wanted just to share that with you. Just stay away from that damn guy.
oh and btw, are you new to bf2?  this the first time you've been redlined?  lolololol

I'm trying to say you're wrong, that isn't me being smart, that's me having something called an understanding. Firstly, 'a pair of faggots' can range whore quite easily Vs. a solo pilot, meaning they won't get a chance to hit by the time his gunner has killed you. Secondly - the very idea of chopper scrims is a two man crew, if it's not a two man crew then you might as well go play public servers - you're not going to be able to use cover effectively and you're going to crash a hell of a lot when you fire your TV.

Not only that, 4 eyes are better than 2, there's more chance of the pilot seeing in 3rd view whilst your gunner is in TV mode, being solo doesn't give you that option. Next is the issue of being able to hide whilst you're being fired at with a two man crew, not possible solo - you'd be raped. Next is the time it takes for you to solo spot the enemy chopper, at least a 3.5 second head start for the two man team which is vital in getting a good position, hell with enough prac you could take out a solo chopper on Daq 16 before you even get a chance to fire a second shot. Also, there are some situations that you just can't solo in and stay alive without your chopper hitting the floor or a wall, perfect example is Daq.

So much for a 0.01th of a second advantage.

Watch youtube vids, get some experience, practice a little, know how to line people up with the TV, what targets are a priority etc.

Attack heli is designed to be a 2 man job, the experience isn't fun for either the experienced pilot and noob gunner. One is being told to bail out constantly and gettin' abuse hurled at them the other is getting seriously frustrated with the noob gunner not hitting anything and deeming the chopper useless. If you both know what you're doing it can be fun as hell so just practice, preferably on single player or empty servers.

You are, but not for redlining. Who wants some random in your chopper when you can do  better by yourself, having more fun at the same time...

As has been said, unless the 2 man team is a combined failure, the soloing chopper guy is going down more often than not.

Reasons:
A: Unless you roll/slide/whatever the chopper perfectly every time, you're very easy to hit while soloing (plus if you do roll it prior to shooting, you will lose a lot of height which can be a big disadvantage at times).  So in general, if you either fire second or miss, you're pretty much dead against an average shot in a lot of cases.

B: As someone so eloquently put it -- range whoring is better than any kind of dodging manoeuvre.  You can't hit what's out of range.  While you're sliding towards the target, the two man team can back off and leave the soloer floundering.  Free shot!  Repeat until soloer is dead.

C: Regardless of how good you are soloing, a good chopper team will clean up with a lot less hassle (clean up as in be more flexible and take out a wider variety of targets consistently).  I don't care how awesome you are soloing with a chaingun -- I can do it very well, but it's still not as good as flying with a good pilot because you have to rotate the chopper in a certain way to do it properly, and sometimes that means a 'setting up' phase prior to firing, whereas you could immediately blast away otherwise.

D: Again, it's been covered but you can ... use cover a lot more easily while in a team.

A great solo pilot can beat a decent chopper team and is certainly better than flying around with someone who is not very good, it still doesn't compare to a good team in the majority of situations.  I can't really think of any soloer ruining me when I've been flying with a good pilot/gunner, but I can think of plenty of times I've consistently had a tough time against a good chopper team

On pubs, I generally don't fly unless I'm with my friends these dats.  I really hate flying with crap chopper folk, so I don't bother if I can't get a buddy to fly with.

Shut up. Who judges people by stats? Only nobheads.

@miley. Yes because a k/d ratio is such a precise indication of how leet someone is in a chopper. Nothing to do with the fact that maybe he doesn't always insist on gunning or he sometimes gives noobs the benefit of the doubt and flies them, thus resulting in a poor kd ratio. Your elitest attitude makes me chuckle though.

Re-work red-lining in vehicles, maybe whole vehicle needs to be in the red-line for you to get damaged, and remove friendly-fire.

And you're BF2 experience is 100000000000000000 times less frustrating.

You make an effective argument, but your theory doesn't quite hold up in practice.

It's true, for the reasons you stated, that a two man crew has an advantage over a soloer. However, I would say from my experience that a soloer can still take out a two man crew almost as often as a two man crew can take out a soloer.

Please show me where i insulted you as far as i can see you are the one throwing insults around.also please show me where i was being elitist i was merely airing my opinion, something you're obviously not allowed to do to the BF2s mafia.
you show incredible ignorance and hippocracy please re read your  own posts.
If you think that ganging up and trying to intimidate me on the internet will work well lol just lol.
If you think you're realy mr tough guy pm me i'm quite prepared to make a journey and pay you a vist its your call.

TBF2 forums never been there, so once again litltle boy you're just showing collosal ignorance and immaturity.[ little boy isn't an insult but very likely a fact.]

FYI i've been here longer than most of you, i was here when polarbearz was about, i was here when spawnofthemist was at his annoying best you sadly are a pale immatation and i know far more about you than you will ever know about me.



Lastly i apologise for not being one of the BF2s bullies i guess i've just got to put the time in and be rude and childish like a lot of you.
Ouch, thats got to hurt.
