When you’re flying a chopper remember you’re in a flying coffin that's armor can pierced with a pencil.

Chopper pilots don't seem to under stand that they should not be flying into any hot air space especially when you have men on boarded. DON't fly into any unsecured air space at all UN less you’re ordered to.

IV seen pilots fly into hostile sectors and try to land guess what happens BOOM EVER ONE DIES ever single time.


Ask the commander to mark safe LZ's.

keep this thread open but warn every 1 here for spam.

i do agree though, if im flying into a enemy flag i always tend to do a quick fly by to check for enemy if the area isnt a commander designated LZ or occupied by friendly forces. if a area has AAA or anything i make sure ppl know its a no fly zone.

Pilots are responsible for the safety of their aircraft. That includes not trying to land in hot LZs if you're going to be blown up. You do no one any favors if you and the squad you are transporting are dead, and the helo you were in has to respawn.

if they refuse to disembark then simply tell them that you are going to return to base with them as cargo or not and that it will take a long time to walk this far. its not worth risking getting them killed and the heli killed because they are too lazy to hold the w button.
