i once was the noob that could not fire a tv. cause of other games i always try to do it, so i did try to gun. i did use the m-gun to shoot at people. i did not hit. luckely my bro could fly and thats how i learned gunning m-gun. gunning tv i learned myself. on accedent. the begin movie shows a tv fires, then re-steered. thats what i tried. and instandly i got better at gunning.
with empty server training, i learned flying. i never used a joystick, so before a game started i tryd flying. all the time. then one day in a empy server i came up with a thing i still use. i pick a spot where my missiles must come. i shoot, see if i hit. all while going fullspeed to the target.
yes, evry gunner must learn. im glad to help people with it, before a game starts. then it wont effect any stats.
what brings me to this: my chopper time is very high for the kills i have i think. but its that way cause of good gunners. yes you can shoot missiles at infantry. but a few bullets do the trick.....
have you ever had a fully repaired tank in sight as piliot, and the tank driver gets out, and runs away from it before you even fire 1 missile? i have, its means your skilled, that the other needs to change underwear after you came. that says enough.
dan, you have the right to kick him out of the chopper, but only if you give the gunner a try. and if he aint shooting ask why..... i did once, and someone told me "you fly to wild, i cant shoot then", ofcourse i thought noob, but i changed flying for him and we got alot of points.
you can problebly asume how i got 176 points in a round in sharki. gunning with good pilot. yesterday i got my bro 144 points when he was gunning i flying. and it was (sounds arogant, i know) usmc was winning in the begin, they dident take any flags longer then maybe 30 secs. i told my bro: if im dead ill switch teams to gun.
so he killed me. a few min later its not going well at all, we decide i fly, he guns. then magicly we get all flags but 1. they retake a flag not longer then 1 min. my bro had 69 kills in a round gunning in a full 32slot server, if you call that low then gun for me!
killing your gunner at edge of the map is a great idear, but it wont work, normely im medic in chopper to heal people, see where people died to know where i can be needed to assist fighting.
