If you have a bad ping do not choose any pilot role. Beware of yellow chain, Red chain and lag spikes or Desync, if they happen consider auto-hover. On your first three MP pilot trips out Tell the passengers you are new and ask for experienced door gunners if they are good they will be talking to you about the LZ and when over it telling you whether you are clear to land.Ĭhoose the safest LZ for your first few trips.

Act as door gunner for say 7 MP trips to get a feel for what is needed. If you set a mission in the editor you can include a tail rotor failure script, or brute force it by setting up a playable AI with an MG or heavy sniper rifle as well as you in the pilot role, then team switch a shoot out your tail rotor, then team switch back into the pilot role to practice Auto-rotation landings. Practice your Auto-rotation Landings, do this even when you are experienced, it is part of your pilots skills and needs to practiced regularly. Like any good player in any role you can make your self a range of training missions in the editor, to sort out your own problems.įind out what slopes you can land on and at what angle and how you need to fly to land on them and take off from them. The SP mission editor is the place for that, stick in some enemy AA units so you can get used to choosing a Landing Zones (LZ) that will not attract their attention. One thing to ALL NEW GUYS please do not practice being a pilot in MP! It can make you look bad mannered at best and label you forever as a stupid idiot at worst. The Pilot Role DO NOT PRACTICE BEING A HELICOPTER PILOT IN MP! If players are TK shooting at copters get their ID and pass it on to the server Admin. Transport helicopter pilots are respected in the community, good ones are treated like gold by their clans and jealousy guarded.

2.1 DO NOT PRACTICE BEING A HELICOPTER PILOT IN MP!.
