BF2S Forums Oustanding pilot

Excellent points regarding a good chopper pilot.  How many times have I been a gunner in a Cobra and we get shot down due to the lack of understanding of elevation relative to the other bird?  When I fly the bathtubs - the Blackhawks and comparables - I always try to orient the bird at a downward angle so my door gunner has a chance at mowing down troops and vehicles.

Your right to call out this player.  Far too many people think it is their personal helicopter either for them only, or only for them and their buddy.  I undrestand wanting the chopper to rack up points, but I try to let other people have a shot at it too.

Nice post.

I have 3 Pilots I love to Be With When I Gun, They Really Know how To Hover and Evade.

I also Am a Exceptionaly Good pilot when my Internet isn't Taking a Dump, I Fly for Snake-Eyes-Jay... Fear Him...Hes Got one of the Most Deadly TV Missles I know.

(Ranked 170th For Choppers and Climbing)

I lover bomber pilots that don't try to get all the points themselves (ie. Bomb, head back to HQ, reload, Bomb, rinse and repeat.) They can get so much more points by allowing the Laser guided missle do it's job. I've been with exactly one pilot that knew the elevation to be at to give me optimal locks and would only head back to base while I was reloading (I'd let him know when I've spent my missles,) or if we needed repairs. We ended up 1st and 2nd on clean sweep at the end of the round two rounds in a row.

They are not TV guided they are Laser Guided missles are strictly A2G (air to ground) hitting flying targets is luck at best. Basically you must get a lock on a ground target and maintain lock it will ALWAYS kill if you can maintain lock long enough... which all a good pilot needs to do is stay on course with a decent elevation. You can only target ground vehicles, but you can get luck shots off by aiming, not as easy as TV guided for non-vehicles.

I know the feeling, Slick.  Same things happen to me.

I love both flying and gunning, I'll work with any of you any time I see y'all on a server.

Best pilot I've ever flown with was joeboo222, or something like that. I finished on Dragon Valley with 34 kills. He was amazing at setting me up, and we took out probably 10 tanks, 5 other helicopters, and plenty of infantry.

Now see I love settin guys up like that.  It can really screw the other team's tickets.  I go hover perfectly at the right place.  The guy I usually end up with must be expecting a magic missle from me to kill everyone.  They never seem to realize I am hovering and keeping the chopper steady so THEY can make the kills.  I get driver assists so its cool.

I did get one good guy on Surge? (sorry not familiar with all the map names yet).  We did awesome.  We had all of the control points except for their main and they all kept coming out of the warehouse roof.  I held it steady there and he raped them with the guns.  Call it base raping if you want.  We neurtalized other spawns before we headed over there.  When you own all the CPs on the map what are you supposed to do?  Go take a nap in a corner?  Sorry its a game.  Its not like you die in real life.  I have been on the raper and rapee end.  I've had my fair share of death streaks.  Its just part of the game.

Me and my boy math do pretty good as a team.  Check video, he's flying.
