I'll admit it... i'm a helo whore as my stats will tell you. I've got over 100 hours, most of which is piloting.
So the question to my fellow pilots is, what do you do when theres not a good gunner to be found? Sometimes I just find myself infuriated at the lack of thinking these people are doing - YES, I understand that it takes practice at gunning, but I also understood how I learned - on a server not at full capacity of 64 players.
And another gripe.... When I first started playing this game, I looked at the different ranks and medals and whathave you, and really understood how many hours a sergeant major must put in (and especially captain and higher) to get where they are... its like some people don't even care about that little symbol above your head... They want to fly that helo when they can't even line up a gunner for a shot.
But I digress.... what do you pilots do when theres no good gunner to be found? Yelling at the noobs doesn't help... I've tried to suggest they go play single player mode to become proficiant, but that doesn't seem to help... the only thing that actually does anything is if I say "Hey, me and a friend are paying money at a lan center to play this, do you care if we fly together?"
that sometimes gets them out.... but i'll only use that if i'm really in the same room as a friend - I don't need no stinking lan center, i'm almost 30.
That was more of a rant than a question wasn't it... well, sorry, I type quickly.
