I was asked to "hop in" on a server last week, so I did as asked. The guy can't line up a shot! He stays behind trees and I can't see anything. Then he gets mad at me, "Why aren't you using the TV?"... I tell him to pull up a little, he says "just shoot the damn missle"... so I shoot the missle (as commanded) right into the tree directly in front of us! So I ask, "Are all those red lights a good thing?" and I hop out and go on my way.
Now I am not saying I am even a GOOD gunner yet. I've been working on single player a lot lately, and it's nothing compared to actual game play. But I know enough to be able to say that if you are going to ask someone to get in, you better at least be able to give them a couple opportunities to get shots off. Maybe even lay off the rockets for a bit so they can get a shot off. So you can coach them on what you see, and they can learn and respond, and maybe even let you know that they can't see and you need to nose down a bit.
A good pilot is a good gunner too. They have been there and know your screen, it's different for a gunner.
I don't like being lined up for trees and the pipelines, why waste a good missle, it takes awhile for it to reload and the screen switch sucks too.
As for all of you that bitch about "you where a noob too once" did you learn at your teams sake? If you did that was selfish, go to single player or an empty server. In sports they have first line up, and when they are ahead they let second line up get some experience, work as a team. You want your wins to out go your losses, more than senoir players. Then work with a senoir and get tips when your all ahead, everyone does better. Work with your team.
