Communication!!

DirtyHarry88 · 2007-02-17, 17:54

This is absolutely vital when in an attack chopper.

I've just played a game as a cobra gunner/pilot (alternating) and because the other guy didn't use VOIP it was very difficult to get consistent kills.

You're in the gunner's position and he's flying too fast for you to see anything, never mind ID and kill something.

Swap it about, when I was flying he was firing his gun but I had no idea if there were guys down there or whether he was just shooting for the sake of it as whenever I spoke over VOIP asking something I never really got a response.

Very frustrating.

I know that but I'm just saying that for a unit that needs communication it's a touch frustrating.

If the gunner and the pilot cant work together then i think its not gona work out.

Yeah, we decided to get a divorce in the end

Seriously though the chance to fly with another player using VOIP makes for great fun.

It's not nonsense at all.

Same goes with Tank/APC drivers and gunners. If the cant comunicate well via VOIP then its not gona work out well. A driver has has to tell the gunner of certain targets in the gunners blind spots and the gunner has to tell the driver when to stop and go and where to go next.

I've been more successful using a tank on my own because of this.

Not that I don't invite people to join, just not many seem to.

Can't understand why, armour is extremely potent when used properly.
