BF2S Forums Wondering if it is just luck ?

Yes i've taken multiple guys up in the bombers and gotten them numerous awards, but I suck at the choppers and thanks to those chopper pilots who kill so many in them things and helped me receive my badge and ribbon. Honestly I give those chopper guys some huge respect as I know how easy those things are to kill and some ppl do a DAMN good job of staying alive and helping the team out.

I've had some help from people. I played one server with a guy who was probably the best chopper pilot I've seen, and I managed to make gunner seat. I managed to do my part in spotting and TV missiles, and the guy promised me he'd get me gold that round. Sure enough, he lined me up for perfect shots, kept us alive, and got me the gold plus two ribbons. On another server I manged to get the passenger seat in the bomber. The guy didn't just bomb targets and ignore me. He actually lined up shots for me. I was trying to get my vet engy badge (which I still need, grr. Always 1 kill away), but I didn't tell him until a couple minutes before the end. Once I did, he did his best to help me get it (I was 1 away at the end, though.) If I'd said something sooner, I'm sure I would have had the badge. There really are some nice people. I know if anyone ever mentions that he needs a badge or ribbon, I'll do my best to help them. I guess the moral is don't be afraid to ask your teammates for help. You might actually find someone willing to do so. Worst case scenario is they ignore you. Best case you make a friend.
