Hey,
So a couple of days ago I was like hmmm I wonder if the choppers in BC2 really suck as hard as my impression has been... so I wanted to "give it a chance."
I've actually had a lot of fun so far with flying in BC2 (certainly very refreshing after being a tank whore) and with a good pilot/gunner combo, I've found that they can own almost as hard as in BF2/2142.
A lot of skill with rudder, collective, and cyclic controls is applicable from 2142 actually, in my opinion.
I've had several really good runs (like 22:2, etc.) in the proper situations - mostly when the other team sucks, but even if they don't, I manage really good runs usually.
I've been learning the AA/gatling/static gun placements so they can be owned when necessary, as well as the skills to avoid/repair when needed.
Both the main rockets and the gunner gun can be lethal to infantry when placed well - even from a distance - and it's very satisfying when you own. I've wanted to experiment with the gunner/pilot ALT W combo (locking reticle/hellfire) to deliver one-salvo-kills to vehicles too, but I need someone in Vent with me for that. I use Warheads now usually...
Of course, as many of you know, I play normal conquest fairly exclusively (rarely, you'll see me on normal rush too), so if someone wants to fly with me, it would be kind of fun I think. No offense, but please be really good - it's very frustrating when I (as pilot) see targets better than the gunner. We can try it though whoever is interested. Maybe Amazon or Pilot? :-D
Atacama is fine to fly in, but Port Valdez is really where the the fun is at imo.
Having started to fly more, I really wish they would make more maps with choppers - and hell - why not even a big map with FOUR choppers (that would be really cool).
Oh, I guess I should mention that I'm not the ADHD type when playing BC2 at all - I take my time, camp, actually RUN BACK (what a concept in BC2 - actually running back) to capture a flag, run back for vehicles etc., so if you're bored easily and desire the ADHD-style gameplay of GET THE FUCK IN THERE CONSTANT SPRINT COD STYLE KILLS KILLS FUCK YEAH, you might be bored with my style of flying. If you want to be a dirty bitch and consistently maintain pressure on the opposing team, you should be fine. I usually do deliver the top-3 points on the team though.
So yeah let me know if someone wants to give up RUSH HARDCORE or 2142 and hook up for a few flying sessions.
