To the newbs at flying, a few words of encouragement.

[TF6049]

Training. Before I did some serious training, I wasn't exactly sure of my capabilities. But after maybe about 40 hrs of training total and running in to a few smart people like Mad-Mike, I can say that I am a much better pilot now - I pulled off a stunt which only the best can do. I avoided a MiG AND SU on Kashan while they tracked me - they had lock, but never could get a missile on me for what felt like a minute or two. How I did it, I won't tell because that would be revealing my tactics but this should serve as a word of encouragement to the wannabe flyboys and flygirls out there. So, at heart I'm a (plane-obsessed) noob, but when it comes to a dogfight, I'm quite good.

I don't mind a 12 year old in a plane (though I am older), as long as they are skilled with it - there is no reason that a well versed youngster is worse than a newb teenager, in fact they are often better.

to be honest the people who crash choppers over and over then dissconnect and go on youtube and complain about how PR is shittest mod ever, i doubt they read this forum.

[Joeziah]

steep learning curve, but that is where the satisfaction and accomplishment comes in when your a good pilot.

Anyone remember the bad company attack helo...what a load of steaming **** that was, but that is the type of thing commercial devs have to do these days.

There is quite a long way to the Top Guns

I am always happy to see really epic good piltos in PR, im more of a grunt guy though...

It is long and hard. But I was determined to get at least most of the way there, and I did it thanks to my training and a few good men. Fight hard, train harder.

Those who do complain on places like YouTube should leave the mod and go play vanilla BF2. PR is one of the most demanding piloting experiences in BF2, and in fact, if you can dominate as a pilot in PR, most likely you can do the same in Wake. Come to think of that, I should try my F-35 skills

Yes but training is not the whole part of practicing it takes like 75% of the whole practice. You have to "practice in the batlefield", which i mean that you learn how to fly with 2 stingers locking on you, having a bunch of technicals hunting for you, fast evac, and of course landing on small rooftops and stuff like that. But keep in your mind to train first and don't go in a normal server.

That's for helis, which I admit I don't go well with and therefore often try to avoid (I can do transport just fine, just not attack). It's only possible to specialize in one thing.

[SomebodySomeone]

Well if it wasn't for all the smacktards in AA camping the airfields maybe you could learn how to fly in training servers...

[Mutherpucker]

gotta train more!

[kavno]

find a (free!!!) flight sim they help
I've impressed ppl with my flighin
and that would be a result of filghtsim 2000-FSX
(although i do plan to join the USAF)

I kinda stoped playing most other games and just play pr nowadays for the sheer fact of the challenge it presents, i like a challenge not some game that i can mow the compition like its grass(cod). And pr is alot softer on my wallet, no need to keep buying newversions of the same game any more, although when i get a steady job i plan to donate to pr.

Well, pro tip to any newb who may be interested in the jets: When in doubt that you may not turn fast enough, go straight up to gain speed.

Don't pretend you can.

I am infantry, who cares if I can xD

[Mad-Mike]

and running in to a few smart people like Mad-Mike.

Thats made my day haha thank you

[Brummy]

Always press alt+f4 immediately after you crash. I think it makes the server population appreciate the crash even more and you learn from it!

[Insanitypays]

Nobody Flame noob pilots on internet servers, we all started the same

[***LeGeNDK1LLER***]

i'm searching for an instructor for an "HAHAHA after 3 mounths of training im gonna pwnz you all " course .


p.s. thx to AlphaClient guys like you are the reason why this comunity is simply the best in the net-gaming.you gentlemen can't understand how im not missing the bf2 vanilla comunity.always able to kill you for a chopper to improve their stats.

I've usually found both empty training servers, and usually a couple that have a lot of people on them. When I want uninterrupted flying, an empty server works. Then hit the busy training server. As to "spamming" AA, well infantry needs training on AA also. I've been on busy training servers where all the MEC equipment is wiped out constantly by bombing.

What surprised me greatly (and more than one time) on a training server was someone "yelling" at someone else for not knowing what they were doing and/or asking questions in global chat. That is the whole point of training servers -- if people crashing, not knowing what to do, and asking how to play really bothers you, train on empty servers!!
