I was not shot down, because my chopper landed unharmed between two buildings, me and the guy who had flown with me got out of the chopper as there was an APC coming, so we couldn't try to take off again. The APC killed us. Anyone know what happened? Anyone else have this happen?
i had the same problem. i got a huey and after landing after a long time it was very difficult to take off again ...

This bug seems to be limited to transport Hueys that have flown for a long time. Hmmmmm

There's about 20 - 30 million parts in the helicopter. Something might have overheated. Realistic

I use a Saitek Evo Force if that helps, and my throttle remained at ~25 %, until I started descending, in which case I pushed it up to 100 % almost instantaneously, and I saw the bar rise, put it didn't help.
Sad, my only death (the other intentional TK didn't count)

Buddy you didnt read his post.
He landed next to me and would have been repaired at the carrier. I was just watching him hover and he dropped like a rock into the water.

Yeah, the warp drive was damaged.
But yeah, this happed to me just AFTER takeoff with the Huey on Archer, then my squad started bitching as usual.
And it think it's also happened to the LB on Karbala, I was flying on the Backwater server, when a lag spike struck, and I regained control, but my power meter was zero. I JABBED W, but to no avail.

Yup, it was extremely odd. We were completely repaired, if we HAD taken damage from small arms fire before hand, it would've been gone. It's only happened to me that one time, but it felt reeeaaally wierd. As if someone had suddenly taken control of the chopper and pushed the throttle to descend. Though I at least have some witnesses. I wonder what your reaction must've been

From all the descriptions it sounds like a legitimate bug

Wait, wha?
I'd answer this, but I really can't understand any of it
Of course, if you are saying I got hit by AA, I've previously stated that no, I didn't. I always took a safe way, and I never once got locked by AA, nor shot at by .50 cals, and I don't recall being hit ever by small arms, though that
might have happened.
Regardless of that, I had completely repaired at the main base often, and before the incident in question, I had loitered around for quite awhile before the bug in question. I have witnesses who can confirm that I wasn't engaged (at least not knowingly), and that I had been in perfect condition prior. So... I'm really not sure where you're going.

AA can no longer reach the carrier in pr.
