So my computer was broken for about 1 year and 3 months and I finally built a newish one. I'm cheap... what can I say.
But it was definitely time for my old one to go. I picked BF2 back up and started playing again. I still enjoy it. Although I'm definitely out of practice. Except if I get into a Anti-Air vehicle. I can still clean up with one of those.
Besides the point though. I was looking through my badges figuring out which ones I need still and I noticed my jet time.
Aviator 00:05:57 1 kill 7 deaths
Almost 6 whole minutes in 126 hours and 45 minutes worth of playing. I've seen people in the jets do some fantastic moves and really rake in the points. I'm not a big joystick fan, so I'm pretty darn terrible at being a pilot. In fact, I'm bad enough that the only time I've ever really gotten into a jet is when I found a jet in the enemy base and jumped into it before the enemy could. I tried to get it to my runway to give it to someone who knows what they are doing, but I died... 6 times. The 7th time I knew I was in trouble the second I took off. So I steered the thing towards a vehicle, shooting the whole way then blew up when I struck the ground ... got a kill though.
Then one time, I spawned on my squad leader to find he was in one of the two seat bombers. I didn't get but maybe 30 or 40 seconds to click around and figure out what I was looking at before he slammed the thing into the ground, disbanded the squad, made a new squad and password protected it. Bummer.
But it was neat! I SUCK as a pilot, but I might be okay as a gunner. I'm not a fan of trying with some random person though, because I don't want to upset the pilot by my less than stellar knowledge about being a gunner. So I'm getting on here to ask if there is anyone willing to give a new gunner a chance to learn and possibly break that 10 minute mark.
And as long as I'm talking about it, I was gunner on a helicopter once. It was a blast (although I have to admit, on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being best, I was probably around a 4 or 5). The pilot was absolutely fantastic and he was patient with the newb. I had a solid 15 minutes of gunner before I had to go do something and had to leave. Any pilots willing to pilot me around and let me give it a shot again?
