Have you guys noticed that when you take off in the tiger and don't take of vertically then one side of the chopper sticks to the groud forcing the chopper to crash??

not sure if it is the wheel sticking, but it is just that the amount of torque generated by the Tiger means that any uncorrected rotation causes a turn over - you effectively ground loop the chopper.

In a word no lol

Never had a problem taking off in it. Landing it tries to explode as soon it touches anything remotely solid but other than that (and the fact it tries to nose dive all the time) its been fine. Shame the rest of EF is total wank coz the chopper is nice lol

I've also noticed that if you don't land perfectly horizontal to the ground you immediately lose 50% of the hitpoints of the chopper. The new Tiger is like the M1A2 tank. It's hitboxes are all kinds of screwed up.

Well I was kinda stupid and said no before reading the post, but I dont think the wheels stick, either they tried to make it realistic but somehow screwed it up, or it was an unintentional glitch.(or do you mean the wheels sticking is a glitch?)
Weird test thing I dont want to waste a whole thread on it:

Oh man...i consider myself a pretty descent heli pilot...but the fist time i got into this one i flipped it like 4 times. It just started to roll on the ground...it took me 3 tries to get it up in the air without flipping it or crashing it. I tell you..this was the first time it EVER happened to me in a heli...

Something is defenately wrong with this one...

I think EF was a wast of my money...maps are also to laggy and to much armour on it...

I usually turn my choppers around when i start them up, i don't do that with the Tiger. The one time i did it fell over on its side and blew me and my gunner up....i felt like a moron

Now i just wait till the piece of shit is in the air before i do anything.

It's hitbox is definetly messed to, i fly very low with all the other bf2/sf choppers and this is the only one that seems to hit the ground when it shouldn't be.

On the bright side, it is fast as hell

This helicopter has some issues that has to be solved. If you try to run before fully take off you crush, if you try to land ever again you crush. Mi-28 becomes a ballerina against tiger helicopter.

I didn't know what you meant, but after I read what you said, I do recall that happening to me once or twice before.
