I just thought of this after reading some stuff about Dc....

I think it would be cool if u gave the chopper pilot some variation kinda like the gunner...
The gunner has gun for infantry and light armored sterf... and the tv guidede for heavy armor(tanks)

I say give the pilot rocket pods (lets say 1 on each wing 15 in each) ofcourse weaker than the stock missles

and also give the pilot some heavy missles (hellfire for ex)( lets say 1 on each wing 4 in each)

Everyone knows this gives the chopper an even more rediculous advantage...
But i done care! haha... im a chopper pilot by heart and i love taking advantage of people..lol

Any other hardcore Dc Chopper pilots out there?

I hear ya,
that would improve the gameplay sooo much ,I also am a hardcore pilot (let it be heli's or planes)
I agree and I think they need to come out with more Elements in the game to make it even MORE relastic

This would be the absolute end of any kind of realism or balancing in the game...

well there wasn't any realism to start with. as for balancing, the teams are balanced but the vehicles are not. this is a vehicle based game after all, it's not like ut2k4 onslaught where vehicles are so weak they die to infantry time and again.

the chopper pilot doesn't need any more rockets. the existing rockets already kill everything from infantry to armor, what would be the point of making separate rockets for each?

having said that, giving the pilot a completely new weapon would be kind of cool. i don't know what it would be, a stationary mounted cannon, maybe?

I'm a huge fan of the DC helicopters. The heli's in DC were much more difficult to learn, but also allowed the pilot greater control when you finally mastered them. Overall, the heli's were much more sophisticated in DC than in BF2 (except for the TV guided missiles), but the game was still balanced because their was infantry AA with the straight fast-firing stingers and a helicopter could be taken down in one hit by a tank. It's a lot harder to crash when attempting to land in BF2, but at the same time you just simply can't achieve the same level of control and maneuverability that you had in DC.

Also, Krappyappy asked what the point of having different kinds of rockets was. Well simply put, you have rapid fire missiles that could be launched in volleys that were effective against infantry and light armored vehicles such as Humvees, but were less powerful against armor and other air assets. In fact I think it took about 12 hellfires from the Apache to destroy a tank in DC. However, you also had more powerful armor penetrating rockets that could only be fired 1 at a time in a set of 2 that took a long time to reload. These were intended for heavy armored vehicles and a single one of these could take out a helicopter or jet. Often, when I got in air-to-air combat I would simply wait for the perfect shot and take out the enemy heli with one missile as opposed to releasing a volley of randomly streaking hellfires. Yes, heli's were more powerful and maneuverable in DC, but the rest of the game balanced it out.

Well to that idea.. doesnt' the attack chopper already have these things?

You have the missle pods which are fired by the pilot.
You have TV Guided Hellfire missles that are fired by the Gunner.
You have the cannon on front fired by the Gunner.

All the standard weapons for an attack chopper seem to already be there.
What more is needed? Or is this post about giving the pilot more ability to kill things and hence take the chopper up by themselves and not get a gunner?

As I don't think I have yet pointed out obviously enough,

BATTLEFIELD IS A GAME, NOT REAL, NOR IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE ABSOLOUTLY REAL! IT IS MEANT TO BE A FUN ACTIVITY WHICH IS FOR PURE ENTERTAINMENT, NOT EDUCATION ON HOW THESE WEAPONS WORK NOR HOW TO FLY. PEOPLE DO NOT FLY HELICOPTERS WITH COMPUTER MICE, NOR GAMING JOYSTICKS!!! I AM REALLY SORRY TO BE TYPING IN ALL CAPS. SERIOUSLY, REALLY SORRY. THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE A FLAME BUT I'M LISTENING TO MUSIC REALLY LOUD!!
