I think it would be beneficial if we could have a specific training mode for helicopter piloting.
Right now the two training maps we have are lacking as training since they're overall rather flat without the usual obstacles of urban areas, which are the hardest to traverse.
It would be helpful if we could have some of the other maps, like Muttrah to practice on.

Another issue is that when training your landings, the hardest part, you will die alot, and when you die on a training server you might respawn instantly but the helicopters still need to warm up the engines which for a Huey for instance takes up to a minute.
This makes just getting the feel for it alot harder since it takes so long before you can try it again.


I think there should be a mode as I said for helicopter training, where either the helicopters warmed up instantly or you didn't die when you crashed.
Maybe if you crash you don't die and the helicopter doesn't explode, but you get a message and a warning sound that tells you what would have happened in an actual game.

For instance if you hit a building the game makes a beeping sound and shows "Dead!" in red letters on your screen.
Or if you do a hard landing it reads "Massive damage, 78%" etc.
That way you can just fly back up and try the landing again until it works.

I agree on the muttrah level or some other urban map. However it does have a nice feeling to it that once you decide to fly on a real map its like: Now this is something else than training!

Nah....if the newbies don't experience the consequences in training, what's to stop them from acting irresponsible with Helos in an actual round?

Edit: I agree on an urban training map. Rooftop landing experience is essential, just as tight street insertions are.

I agree, would be nice to have urban training maps, not restricted to helo training, but at least offering it. Muttrah would seem like a good choice, and thenmaybe have infantry spawn points in the fortress
