i guess you could, like, land an attack chopper somewhere and use the gunner position, that really seems like more trouble than it's worth, and probably you would die to enemy fire trying to make that maneuver.
personally i think the wait on stationary assets kinda blows. i mean, maybe put a 5 second warm up time, but really, especially on the .50 cals on turrets and emplacements what is there to warm up but to grab the thing and start firing?
No it isn't, people still do it, I've seen an attack chopper being solo'ed in a public game a lot of times, people would just randomly grab it when it spawned and went flying around trying to strafe enemies with Hydras and got shot down, I even had a WZ10 on Qinling in 0.75 trying to destroy me in a Linebacker by flying low and firing Hydras at me.soloing is pretty much impossible in chopper.
It prevents one guy jumping in the chopter, taking off and using both seats for full effectrandom pants wrote:Really couldn't give a rats *** about a heli weapon warm-up time, totally unnecessary,
Jaymzsadly, its wont help... there allready 30 seconds of takeoff, so its dont going change anything about solo the chopper, as till the chopper takeoff its could fire, which is allrdy now almost always if no baserape...Outlawz wrote:No it isn't, people still do it, I've seen an attack chopper being solo'ed in a public game a lot of times, people would just randomly grab it when it spawned and went flying around trying to strafe enemies with Hydras and got shot down, I even had a WZ10 on Qinling in 0.75 trying to destroy me in a Linebacker by flying low and firing Hydras at me.
Of course it isn't effective, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
If anything, the weapon usage delay could at least be there to simulate the fact that in RL pilots don't just jump in and start firing their weapons.
And I like the 4 second delay on .50s tbh, I know that sometimes you can be really devastating parking a jeep somewhere and hop onto the mg and rip apart everything, but people that drive around alone in a jeep and immediately switch seats when they see an enemy really piss me off.
Yeah but, most of the time,they are 2 crewed every one wan to be you're gunner when you got it and people got kicked realy quick for soloing attack helicopter.Outlawz wrote:No it isn't, people still do it, I've seen an attack chopper being solo'ed in a public game a lot of times, people would just randomly grab it when it spawned and went flying around trying to strafe enemies with Hydras and got shot down, I even had a WZ10 on Qinling in 0.75 trying to destroy me in a Linebacker by flying low and firing Hydras at me.

i've probably flown choppers more in PR then all the people in this thread combine and i can tell you it just doesn't happen in normal public games that people park the choppers on hills and start firing from the gunners seat. What does happen though is soloing using hydras but putting warm-up time on them would be utterly pointless since it takes 30 sec to even get of the ground. Putting warm-up time on the gunners seat would be equally pointless since the nature of PR doesn't allow for single-choppering like in the training mode.Outlawz wrote:No it isn't, people still do it, I've seen an attack chopper being solo'ed in a public game a lot of times, people would just randomly grab it when it spawned and went flying around trying to strafe enemies with Hydras and got shot down, I even had a WZ10 on Qinling in 0.75 trying to destroy me in a Linebacker by flying low and firing Hydras at me.
