This is a guide for those of you who like to fly the chopper with your friends (pilot and gunner), but rarely get to do so due to the shenanigans and drunken debauchery that constitutes the chopper spawn. Your main priority is for both you and your friend to both be playing with the absolute minimal graphical settings, while having a top-of-the-line computer. This is what I refer to as a playing in "Legoland". No lighting, no shadows, no problem. This will give you an enormous advantage on load times, and will usually net you the first chopper. You must always chose the sniper kit with the "Chopper Stealer". This is a last resort, but often a necessity when you really need that chopper. Don't abuse it, or you will get banned.
So, you've got the basics down. However, many problems can, and will, arise. These problems include someone out-loading you and beating you to the chopper, your chopper being destroyed, or most commonly, you getting one seat in the chopper, but some random idiot taking the other, leaving your friend on the landing pad who can't use his Chopper Stealer again without being kicked or banned. So we have problems, but we also have the technique which I refer to as "Problem Solving". Problem Solving is used when you or your friend has the pilot seat, but you've got some jackass in the gunner seat who refuses to get out, no matter how long you sit there motionless and tell him to bail out. This delinquent gunner is the problem, and we must solve it. So, you must take off and fly the chopper to the edge of the map where it begins the countdown telling you to get back to the battle or you die. With extreme care and finesse you must hover the chopper in a manner in which you are in bounds, but your gunner in front of you is out of bounds. Hold this position for 10 seconds and the problem will be solved.
