Whats is so great about being a pilot?
Why does half the team feel the need to be one?

I am starting to hate maps with jets for the fact that everyone spawns on the carrier or main air hanger and 3 or 4 people out of 32 actually start an offense. this happend to my team a few times today alone as well to the enemy team a few times. I was commander and scanned about 8 of the enemy on the air field when they already had a jet in the air.  basicly every map that had jets there would only be about a 6th of the infantry attacking flags the others just siting at the hanger waiting for planes. So i ask again what is so special about being in a plane? Is it because most people suck at infantry? are they going for badges? Or do they just like to fly? Working on a KDR? What ever there doing and why it does not help the team win.

I used to find that but not that much any more. Since the latest couple of patches less people are flying cause they get shot down easier. I don't fly that much because I'm rubbish at it but occasionally I will notice a jet just sitting there and have a go. Maybe I end up on good servers? Who knows...

Wake Island is the worst for this. 5 Chinese squads sitting at the Airfield while the jets come back over to resupply and repair....they wave.....

Meanwhile, the Airfield flag just turned neutral.

Do they go find the culprit?  No....
Do they even turn to see if they can hit them from where they are standing? No....
Are they completely fucking useless? Yes....
Do I play Wake anymore? Only with clan mates....

THis is the only time China has lost in my experiences on Wake. Everyone is butt-humping on the runway.

And max. two of theese eight people waiting for that jet are players, which CAN fly.
The other ones are mostly nubs, who are GySgt. or lower, that say to themselves: "Okay, I sucked in the hole game so far, lets try out jet-pwnage." And they suck further....

Its what everyone does...even if they don't know what they are doing they will run to the most powerfull or hard to get vehicle in the map. If a Jet Spawns and they are they are the closest to it they will run to get it and feel special even though they don't know how to effectivly use it.

When I fly in a Chopper I like to fly alone and whenever someones near me and I am warming it up to take off, they will always run to the gunner seat.
My first action is to ask them to get out or something
"No Way Man" they will say... So I point them at a target and nothing happens...then we get Rammed.

So anyway, people are stupid and don't intened to play the game right.

The reason I Fly the Jets is because I am good at it and I enjoy it, its Fast Paced as apposed to Walking on Foot which is fine the other 50% of the time. Its just better to choose to fly, then have someone who can't Fly get the Jet the whole Round...and we Lose the Game. This is Important on Maps like Clean Sweep, or Daqing Oilfields where the Air Support can Tip the Tides of the BattleField.

Just my Thoughts...

A way to get rid of the pilot huddle is to get the humvee, drive directly towards them all at full speed and bail out right before you run them all over.

Two things happen:

1. They all get in the jeep cause they're pressing "E"

2. They get run over by the empty jeep

If they're smart they'll move out way, but they're usually too busy trying to get their beloved jet to see the jeep hurtling down the runway straight towards them.

It cracks me up every time

You'd rather not have a gunner at all? Don't get me wrong, there are some horrible gunners out there but you don't have a tv missle to kill the other choppa with or to kill infantry effectively. Fighting with rockets is teh ghey. Takes like 6 to knock out the other choppa and I bet he has a tv missle waiting for you When I get a choppa, I call out for a gunner. I don't like being tv missle bait.

Amen brother. One big fat gang bang. I loved wake at the start, but now its a jet fight. Not two teams fighting 4 jets, but your own team fighting eachother for jets.

I can easily defent the island flying solo, The USMC choppers don't even make it past the island when I'm in the chopper. One click of my thumb button, Right click, fire off TV missile - Boom. F1. Plenty o' kills for me.

Ever hear of 'Ghosting' in a Chopper, when you get comfortable enough with Flying you can manage both the Gunner Seat and the Pilot Seat and Destroy everything yourself. It works MUCH Better then two people (Unless your Connected Through Voice Chat and Both Know what your Doing). Its very Rare that you can join a Server and the right Pilot and the Right Gunner get in the Chopper Together... People get really mad when I tell them to get out. They don't understand, just as you didn't right now by posting that. I have had people say.
"No Way Can You Do Both, Your Not That Good!"
"Selfish Asshole, You Suck"
It is Selfish but it works alot better then two people as theres an extra man on the Ground.

With two people the Gunner and the Pilot both have to see the SAME Target to get it right, with Voice Comm. the Pilot can be like "Tank Ahead" ...There spotted, Dead. Without that, you might as well have Nobody in the Chopper!?

Probably wearing out my Keyboard for no reason here but... Ya thats my thoughts and some Facts.

Same with me dude, i haven't played wake in months. Ive seen just pathetic screenshots of what your talking about. There was even one that someone had a tank parked in front of the j-10 with atleast 10 guys standing around it. Like u say, they are totally useless and don't care about team play just points.

People r obsessed with flying the j10. I have seen tanks, apcs, AA, even transport choppers block the runway. They bail at the last second before the plane hits and the plane gets a tk. I even saw 5 people with m95s kill each other to get the plane. 1 person gotin and they died, then the killer gets in and they die. the person who won got killed before taking off by an enemy plane. This game is stupid when it comes to planes.

What is fun when people do stuff like that on Wake is to play US, use a fake account, and then get in the AA turret at the end of the runway.  Let it rip and there wont be a sole standing.  Sure you will probably get kicked pretty darn fast but hey, you get some self satisfaction.

Being a plane "whore" myself, I had once had the Wake thing... Waiting for a plane, not comming, and all of a sudden, an F-18 appears and I think that I missed somthing... Checked the map and realise that the flag isn't ours anymore...

Why I wait for planes? Cause it's great to be in the skys at a high velocity.

JeSTeR_Player1 and E7IX3R,

I guess I never thought of that. I'll have to try it tonight. I'm pretty comfortable in a choppa.

Edit: So I tried it. I'd much rather have a good gunner.

This only happends in servers that has "no baserape". If i`m commanding USMC on wake Island, the only thing that  will get my stupid n00bteam of their arses caping flags, is a couple of j10`s raping them. If there is no rapin, you take the blackhawk and fly straight trough the crowd waiting for the jet to spawn, and everyone holding E, gets a ride to the Island

You gotta try that! Man, thats funny!

Oman games are always like that for USMC. 30 people spawn on the carrier for 2 jets and a chopper. Meanwhile MEC is taking the beachfront. Im getting so i won't even drive a tank on Daqing because u get nothing but jet whored constantly. Im tired of it.
