*facepalm* exactly THAAT is what then shows the skill of pilot, to hover for ~ 5 sec. sooo quiet so the gunner can give a 500m headshot with the guided missile!!!

Got it?

What is the point of hovering? To get a HAT to the face? A gunner that can't hit a target when moving at about 200 speed (ingame) is a crap gunner.

Well, as pilot you should hover without moving for about 5 seconds so the gunner get e perfect shot, then chopper disappear again... No HAT will get you, believe me.

If your gunner cant be accurate on the move then hes simply no good. Hovering is a noobs mistake.

Well, how do you want to aim as gunner while your AH-64 pilot (for example) is making a 90? turn and shaking as hell? xD

Yes, indeed, depends on skillz.

Just talking out of my arse here but seriously....how do you keep your guide on the target while on the move in the chopper? Especially on turns. I mean sure, when going straight for ~3 seconds it should be possible for a god gunner but other than that...

Stemplus · 2012-08-17, 13:13

well you don't need to fly upside down and vertical, you can be slowly flying forward at high alt (i.e. 400m 200speed for Burning Sands)

@kilo

you don't need to keep the crosshair on the target if you want the rocket go there. Just click and leave it, if you want it to turn again click somewhere else

It's simple to use a helicopter nicely :

No Laser = Stay still, if get an AA lock or hear a missile going, go down and RTB.

With Laser = Fly straight down to the laser shooting Hydras and the Hellfire(s) on the Laser.

Well if the view distance is big (iron eagle/black gold) you don't need to dive. Go far away and let your gunner lock onto the laser. Wait a few seconds to get confirmation on the hit and RTB. don't worry about AAs, you will be OOR. Handhelds' range is about 600-700m, and AAV's range is 1300.

You obviously have never had to deal with the older LG missile code where they didn't just go to where you clicked.

With those missiles you could only hover or fly straight at the target.
