Funny thing is I saw you telling the A10 pilots you hated them. I was laughing at that.... then I tked you.

Yeah, that area was crawling with insurgents. I was sneaking around behind their lines, looking for their spawn car. I got TKed by the other cobra a couple times that round as well, and came close even more times. It was getting quite disconcerting.

It was strange though. Even though you killed me, it showed up in game as somebody named "PeaBot" or something killing me, who I assumed was your pilot.

EDIT:: Yeah, that A-10 pilot really pissed me off. I had just wiped out an entire insurgent squad, and stolen their PKM. I was pretty stoked to start Ramboing it up with the PKM, when I get strafed by the A-10. I waited for 5 seconds or so, and then punished. Right after that, he said "Sorry!", followed by a "dude no need to punish". So I let my opinion on A-10s in Al-Basrah be known (f*cking useless devices intended to piss off everyone else in the server, regardless of team, and make it impossible to hear VOIP over the damn loud engine, all the while taking up space better filled by boots on the ground).

I wouldnt worry too much about that. Just typing in game to them when you get the chance would be enough i would think.
About returning FF, I give them a chance. They shoot at me, i dive behind a rock/fly away. They shoot again, I going to put them face down.
What really pisses me off is people that FF my gunship when im flyinf off because they cant get a ride. Sometimes i feel the need to fly back and put him on the floor too.

Shoot at my helicopter and you have signed up as my enemy.

...mongol...

You got a lot of things going against you in the Cobra. I've never flown the A10 so I can't speak on what that is like. US troops resemble some insurgants on the gun scope. Minimap only shows what is below you, not necessarily what your looking at in the gun scope. Which will throw you off.

I know what you mean Determined, but you can still Q-spot, right? And if you don't have time to spot, confirm, and fire, I say your pilot's at fault and needs to be told to hold still. As long as you've got some altitude, the RPGs won't hit you.

I'm sure A-10s are hard to spot targets with. But nobody put a gun to anyone's head and told them to get an A-10. In fact I'd like to put a gun to their head and tell them not to. Unfortunately then I'd get hit with the TK penalty, so instead I just punish

You hearing this Fishw0rk???

Sometimes there's a reason people don't pick you up. Like they're having their squad mates spawn in on them.

I don't mind getting punished when I'm gunning like that. I mean your the defenseless guy on the ground. A lot of those tks would be erased by better comms. You make a Cobra squad and the commander tells you were he needs you. If the commander has friendlies in the area he should spot them or tell you to back off. Also if he has told you to attack an area he should tell the squads moving in to hold their position. I clear the area and let the commander know it looks clear for the troops to movein.
