I'd have to say that you probably THINK you are ok in the chopper, but I'd say its more likely that you are not. 99% of people in this game can't fly the chopper to save themselves (let alone their team), and of course if he gets in a chopper with someone its highly likely they can't fly.
I have had experience of going gunner with these people and here is what happens:-
* Chopper takes off, pilot thinks he's 'U|3E|2 ELI73' by flying as low to the ground as he can and hits a tree.
* Flying around, I spot an attack chopper coming towards us, he keeps on hovering, I then spot the chopper as many times as I can until I get blocked, no response, then if you can believe this WE GET SHOT DOWN.
(I know its hard to believe, but there is a mini-map in this game that shows up spotted enemy)
* We are in a battle with an attack chopper and he decides that the only weapon we have that can kill it is OUR CHOPPER.
* We have anti-air locking on to us, he puts his plan into action - Turn side on to the AA to give the gunner a shot at the medic lining us up, he would obviously kill us if we don't get him first.
There are many more situations, they were just a few that came to mind.
So in regards to MastaKillaChilla2 telling you to swap, I would have to agree with him, cause its a 99% chance that you are one of those people. And don't say, 'Everyone has to learn sometime', go and learn in single player, or on an empty server or at least an unranked server.
