So far Battlefield 2142 have been easiert to play than to install and im very happy giving a couple of hours a day after work to killing guys, mostly sniping and sometimes defending a titan. So far i can drive the aircrafts to get from spot A to spot B, if im gunning i can "try" to do some damage but... i got 3 questions:

 

-How can i avoid getting while flying the 7 people aircraft?

-How do you guys learn to use the battle heli(the one for 2 guys) and how come they expect me to kill 8000 guys while i play this game/?

Hey there...

 

Not sure what your first question is - i think you left out a word?!?

 

As for the gunship/battle heli - just practice practice practice. if you're having a hard time picking one up because someone else keeps taking it, try joining a server with fewer people so you have a better chance at getting in one. I personally suck at flying but maybe someone else here can help you...

 

As for 8000 guys, if you play long enough, you can do anything! take phrogg for example - he's got 12799 kills with his sword.

-Clarify the first question

 

-Play single-player to learn the war-bird.

 

-Over time you will gain stats and awards you did not think possible, do not worry about them.

Yea i left out a word... is killed.

 

From time to time someone enter the armory titan server who just have a great way to kill the transport heli. Is like i just get in the titan, enter the heli and drive for 30 secs before blowing up. No matter how many times i try i get the same result, and then i just wait for some one else to drive it and *some* guys just knows the way around and can drive for 10-20 minutes with a couple of gunners without being hit by engineers and war helis. So i was wondering whether it depends on the speed, the altitude or some kind of constant moving to avoid threads. Or is it just experience?

-Use the shields ('X' button as default). There is a little cross-hair picture that will appear at the bottom-center of your screen when you are targeted, and a klaxon(buzzer) will sound.

 

-Try to travel low. AA missiles can lock on but the lock is broken by ANY object in their path...If the firer can not maintain a lock until the missile is close it just falls out of the sky. The war-birds missiles will keep circling until they hit you if you are at high altitude, but NOE(Nape Of Earth, ie LOW!) flight will make them hit the ground and/or obstacles.

 

-Other than that, learning how to fly well makes a big difference. The whales can actually out maneuver the war-bird. Example: If a gunship is on your six and firing, hit shields and nose up hard. This will cause the missiles fired to hit your shields and your craft will instantly go in reverse and loose altitude. The advantage of this is twofold; one, the gunship will likely lose you as they can not turn quite that fast, at full thrust, second, you will have time to evacuate your payload or nose down (gaining you lateral speed and again passing under the gunship but at a much lower altitude). That was just one of many maneuvers that have prover very effective in the past for me.

 

-that is all
