-Happy question fun time, but first...a story.

 

-I bring this up because I played a good game the other day involving air superiority. We had a two man squad in a chopper, one support and one engi (important later). If someone called out a hostile vehicle or sniper, they where right there. I called for 'air support' at one point and they where on top of me in ten seconds, tops, hiding and firing TV missles at some inbound APC heading my way (i was sniper at the time)...they then landed, got out fixed/reloaded(i assume, i just saw the engi fixing but the other guy got out too) and then took off. Lastly, and the coolest, when I was on D in a walker i called for a fix, they hovered over me repairing and resuping me...Long story short...wow...between them and our tanks the OpFor could not use vehicles, groud or otherwise.

 

-Who is usually the Armory pilot in (=A=) only games (ie clan wars)? I only assume there is a set few (one?), to keep coordination at the maximum. (ie. "'so-and-so' i need air support on flag 3 ASAP!")

 

-Who guns? (did not expect that did ya?) From what I hear pilots hate gunners...The usual problem being, most players do not realise a thousand rounds of mikemike will hardly scratch the paint of an A-8, but rather say "HEY! I AM ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS...KILL ME FIRST!".

 

-Do said pilot and gunner practice together?

 

-What is the point of this thread?...Quite simple, (assuming I make it into TAC;)) would this be a viable and useful thing to do, if not already in practice. Practiced chopper tactics with two people, i mean. IADs for the Army folk.

 

-I gun well...very well (ie. pilots eyes, know what weapon to use on what target, and where specificaly (engeneer...), best of all i can fly the TV missile (for the most part) and actively use the TV site to see what the pilot is checking out/targeting...I can fly well enough, but I am an NOE freak (I have a fair amount of kills by hitting hostiles with my skis:D). I can dodge anything but I can not fight worth a...poo:p. I use said flying skills to go pickup pilots who prematurly bail out lol.

 

with liberty and justice for all. hehe:D

 

:thumbsup:THE END:thumbsup:

well we had a awsome choper pilot in bf2 by the name of steelwings but he doesnt like bf2142 so he doesnt realy play it and impact was an amazing jet pilot but i havent seen him fly in bf2142 to much I believe most of our guys i believe like to go infantry.

Bf2 gunner champ for the win. I could steer a tv guided missle into a heat exhaust on a moving black hawk from long range. Me and Gators used to upset alot of people on the us side in our cobra lol

Ya i remember that me and steelwings used to go nuts in longbows. Gotta love that 20mm cannon splash damage.

I havent played 2142 for a bit because I got tired of it, but Im gonna give my opinion.

 

I think that a good chopper pilot/gunner combo is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. I know that I have played against a few of these and they more or less shut down our team's vehicles, not to mention taking out infantry caught out in the open.

 

and personally I love to have a gunner. They pretty much double the effectiveness of the gunship. I try to give my gunner ample time to shoot at a target and always flew above enemy air vehicles so that my gunner could get some good shot on them. It is a extremely easy to kill infantry in the gunner position of the gunship. It is a lot less efficient to use rockets on the old ground pounders!

I've only had the game a week so I like to fly
