The Dumbasses are proberly trying to get badges! a gunner just about always gets more points than the driver in choppers... but i dont see why they didnt just go gunner and let someone else fly!

But I'm not callous or anything.

Come on Kilroy, tell us how you really feel. 

Happened to me for the first time as well last night! Jumped in the chopper and some child starting throwing C4 on it, and then someone sniped me with an M95, and had the cheek to use the "Sorry" from the commo-rose.

These people should have their account banned for life

If someone does that to me i make it my mission to hunt them down and tk them for the rest of the game then exit before the round ends, im not that bothered about points and its more fun for me to get them back so i dont see it as wasting a round.....

If im waiting on a chopper along with a bunch of other guys (No wonder we lose the map), i usually accept my fate if i dont get a seat. But like Aus heart attack said if somebody kills me when im in the chopper, then theyre gonna get it the next time i see them, so theyll learn that behavior is unacceptable.

A good trick is driving the jeep into someone, because you can get out in time, so you dont get notified for TK. This is a sweet tactic to use with the aforemented bad elements of the game.

An even better solution would be to allow (ie. no TK) you to run over a teammate with a jet or a chopper. Of course then they will just start TK'ing you, but hopefully it would make a few of them stop with their behavior.

The logic should be something like this :

if (jet/chopper close to ground) AND (RunsOverTeammate == True) THEN
  PlayerInChopper.SkipTK = True;

And teammate in jet/chopper of course )

Who here has seen this one ? You take off in the chopper only to be called back for a pick-up. fine I neded a gunner anyway right, well I turn around and land just in time for the dude to TK me out of the pilot seat and take off solo. Hell if he wanted to fly I have no problem being the gunner. thats what you get for being nice I guess

Sounds like a messed-up server with some messed-up admins if you ask me.

After the fucker did this, I told him he was a massive fag and way gayer than a shaved hampster in san francisco on valentines day

lol that expression is new to me about the hamster

I know this might sound out of place, but it's not all doom and gloom. I tend not to fly aircraft of any description, I use KB and mouse, not a great combination. I got a yell from an attack heli pilot 'mount up', so I did, having never spent any time as a gunner, I had no idea what to do... as he was flying, he was typing everything, how to gun properly, using the TV missiles, and within minutes, I was picking off reds like there was no tomorrow.... this pilot was great, a real breath of fresh air in comparison to the ones that all of you above have encountered... and although this is the 'complaints' section, lets hear it for those that do actually like to help others

i notice this all the time put its worse i think with jets, i get these guys that stand where the jet spawns shooting ppl who come near so most stay clear, but the thing that make me laugh the most is if someone else gets in the plane they dont blow it up or mine, they stand right infront of the jet and wont move so u either run em over or get out and let em take it,
                 
                      i just set the jet off then jump and climb back in but i think that there should be aliase players in random servers who are ea or dice, i know its a bit hard to get all servers covered or even a percentage of servers but if they did i think that players seen doing this or team killing for choppers planes etc should be demoted on the spot and have an unlock wepon removed from there armourie that would stop it in an instant apart from the real gimps who should just be banned on the spot, and have 100 junk mail sent to there email every 10 mins, rough justice but hell it would do the job.

Nah a better idea is to implement what ESEA did for Counter-strike, they have secret service players who are undercover admins in disquise, you can go to the esea site and put in a complaint about a player, the admin reviews the game footage, or in bf2's respect the battle movie(you know how the server saves the play of the battle) and if the player was blatently tk'ng or being abusive then they will have the approriate penalty (demotion, banning, suspension, etc.) Me, and one of my friends were both SS members for ESEA and it was nice to know that some people could actually do something about the idiots who are out there.  The only thing was that me and my friend had both been playing for about 6 years of CS giving us some experience of people hacking and experience of legitimacy.  Giving some requirements on becoming an SS agent would be acceptable, so that not everyone could get it.

See, here;s my question...what defines a good pilot?  I am a rather seasoned chopper pilot (been flying them in games since MSFT Flight Sim 98) and I can control the birds very well...but what constitutes a good combat pilot?  Certain maneuvers/acrobatics?

Acrobatics aren't really necessary, but can be useful I think that a decent pilot is one who can line up shots for the gunner, flies smart (not the dumbasses who fly straight and dumb with a missle lock or any other impending doom). I prefer good flying over fancy flying if you know what I mean.
Good pilots also know where to hide and use terrain and buildings for cover. I consider myself halfway decent and I use a KB and mouse.

I don't mind a gunner at all but I LOATHE it when you get someone in who won't shoot or never notices the 20+ troops storming the flag you are trying to help protect. I try to get a target rich enviroment for the gunner, cause I get helluva lot of bonuses too. It bugs the hell out of me when they won't shoot or are shooting something WAY off in the distance. It's kind of hard to type out information or instructions because of the controls I use. You can always tell the guys who don't know how to use the missles cause after they shoot there is never a flight correction when it is needed. I wince when I see this. Usually you won't get a 2nd shot like that, especially when they notice you.

Let me know what servers you play on so we can practice together.
