BF2S Forums For the chopper pilots...

I have heard people say that the cobra and z-10 are different, but I have not noticed it. In my experience they handle pretty much identically. That being said, the cobra is my favorite, it has the smallest profile and the rockets are spaced close together. The gun is very effective if the gunner knows how to take lag and movement in account.

I think the Cobra and the Z-10 are the same, correct me if I'm wrong.

They are essentially the same on paper, but the Cobra is a lighter, more maneuverable chopper. But you're right, pretty much the same.

And I must say, it sounds like your a gunner and not a pilot. ;)

Yup, I can't pilot for crap. I usually stick with the gunner position.

the Mi-28 is a noob chopper. no skillz to killz

im a fan of the Z-10, fast, maneuverable, chain cannon is nice and splashy

edit: and to whoever -1ed me for that, think about it. HE rounds, its an automatic grenade launcher. other choppers require some sort of aiming to kill something.

I say apache over hind.  The apache's missiles fire closely together, making a flyby on any armor a nearly guaranteed kill seeing as all missiles will most likely hit the target.  With the hind however, the missiles are more separated, and u have to learn to aim one side at a time (in my opinion) and to me that's a lil difficult.

Ummm, yeah, that's pretty much the whole point of that chopper, a infantry killer. However, its slower, harder to get away from AA, a worse tv position for the pilot, and not as agile in a chopper duel.

And again, this is for the chopper pilots, not the gunners, we all know how that poll would turn out.

lol, anybody noticed someone named longbow wasn't voting for the longbow?

Im gonna say cobra for pilot because its easy to hit enemy choppers with misiles because there closer together, but mi-28 for gunner

The Tiger in EU, personally.

But that wasn't an option.

Personally, I love to screw around in a Blackhawk

I chose the cobra altho it's tight between that and the apache. In the end the cobra is just more fun to fly while the apache is just a flying deathmobile. Also, you can only fly the apache on 2 maps, which sucks.

I personally love the agility of the Cobra......but who doesn't?  The Z10 isn't much different, so I like it too. 

I haven't played much Special Forces until recently......and I LOVE the rockets on the Apache.  Splash damage is great.  It makes killing infantry and armor a dream.  AND THERE IS STILL 14 OF THEM (why the hell did EA take away the 14 rockets on the regular choppers!? WTF!?)  It doesn't handle amazingly, but it is manageable....manageable enough to get kills regularly, avoid obstacles, dogfight other choppers, and ditch AA.  I even had someone on the opposite side the other night tell me that I was "too damn good" in the Apache. Kinda nice to hear considering that NORMALLY when I'm handing someone or someones their asses on a platter I get called a whore or a n00b (never understood that, doesn't n00b imply that I suck?).

The Hind.......yeah.......it's a piece of flaming ass.  The transport helos fly better than that crap factory.

So.....as a pilot......I like the Cobra for maneuverability..........and the Apache for getting kills.
