Flying the chopper on some maps as gunner. After receiving pilot kit and entering the vehicle in the second position I was unable to move the turret instead it violently vibrated in a set position as if I had no pilot kit. It also fired at random even when not clicking. I was also unable to jump out, only way to escape was to suicide, when another player hopped in, it also continued to do the same thing when he hopped in. I believe it's a combination of lag and the server not validating that I am a pilot.
I posted a help topic before on severe lag spikes and after close examination. It appears when a HQ message, several kits requests and other server messages happen within a small amount of time. It also happens when one of those messages occurs when your in a close fire fight are in traffic demanding times.
Maybe remove some server messages such as kit allocation (I find that knowing your teammate is a sniper is pointless when you have voip, plus a simple look at *tab* or *caps lock* will show you majority of kit information). Could the HQ messages be replaced with coloured spawn points or a similar replacement? If not, could they be made smaller. I really like having clutter removed from the screen, like with all the deaths and kills in the top left and now it's replaced with something else thats just as large. When you use some circle scopes (like the M4) and going through the jungle you tend to aim the pointer below the horizon. As the large iron sights block 1/2 your forward view if you aim forward. By aiming down you increase your visibility. The human eye is best at detecting movement in its field of view (when you need it more then ever in jungle maps). I find it more and more annoying when I am American using some large iron sight and finding the enemy killing me cause the words "HQ: defend *****" made seeing my enemy difficult (not to mention stating the obvious, and for newbs I find many people point it out to them) and made it next to impossible to see them yet identify as an enemy. Not to mention the extra lag it sometimes causes. But never the less great mod! I hope this feedback helps.
