Well what do you have to do when there is not even a gunner around. Solo heli-ing is not so bad imho, as long as you don't kill your gunner to fly solo.

Having a gunner is nice though. Although lately I own infantry while piloting (if I have no gunner ofcourse), after a while you get how the pilote missiles work and where to aim.

And I use mostly the pilot missiles against tanks. I often have serious lag on my tv missiles. But from time to time I use a tv missile when solo piloting.

But I don't know why you guys complain. Killing a solo pilot is easier than killing a pilot and his gunner.

Although it is a nice suggestion from Solar Fire, I don't think it is necessar. Just hop in a plane, AA gun, or an attack chopper WITH a gunner and you can own the guy in no time.

There is a way to completely this imo while still allowing gunners to survive if their pilots get killed/lagged out/etc.

Simply make the tv missles unable to fire without someone in the pilot seat.

This would work the same way as not being able to shoot while jumping, EA could add it into the next patch. Thoughts?
No.

I like solo-piloting, I've only had 2 good gunners ever, 1 was me, another was some pubber whom I lost contact with.
I love gunnning just never find to many good pilots... You can always add me to x-fire if your looking for teamwork...

I can't see flying solo when the knuckelheads are tking each other for a seat in the chopper. Or jets (which I recently found out that the bomber has 2 seats, ok,ok, did not mess with the jets much).
Thanks to all the people who recognized what I was going through as a pilot. Also, I'm adding you to Xfire now, maybe we can play later.

I solo all the time. Does this mean I deny teammates a seat in my chopper? Does this mean I TK those who get in?

No, you pathetic morons

I solo when there are no gunners around, and there are lots of people who do the same.

Gunner + pilot > solo-pilot.

If you're such a good gunner than why do you stats suck so much and why do you play on server/knife only servers?

This annoys me how pilots say they dont have good gunners reason why the gunners arent good sometimes blame the pilots who fly them. I have been in the gunning seat many of times with a pilot and thought holy crap i may as well just watch with how this idiots flying. I am a good pilot and usually wont take off without a gunner i have tought n00bs how to aim and stuff and got a good score at the end of the round.

Yeah, it's stupid. The whole point of attack choppers is that they are a two-man team effort. Also I still find it hard to believe that a soloer (even some  l33t general asshole) is better by himself than with a decent gunner. What are you doing while you're in tv mode? You're spinning around in the air, you can't dodge or use flares.
I agree.  The other thing is AA missles should stay locked on when people switch seats.   That would kill a lot of those solo idiots a lot faster.  I prefer to fly with a clan mate as we can communicate better and help our teammates on the ground as well with both tv missles, pilot's missles and the gun.  I've flown with one descent pilot who wasn't a clanmate in the attack chopper.  The rest have either been jerks who fly to the edge of the map or crash 30 seconds after take off.

I suck at flying chopppers so I generally don't fly unless it's to steal a chopper to pick up a good pilot or to save our chopper from being stolen.
