Re: Regarding the Attack Helicopter and Being a 'Problem Player'
People always complain when getting owned or what they think is owned. I'd let it go. However, if you're one of the guys that sits in the spawn area with a thumb up your butt waiting on a specific vehicle, it's probably better to get moving with your squad to a flag rather than camping for a vehicle.
Good to see you out out on the forums. Thanks for switching sides when autobalance was out of wack.

Re: Regarding the Attack Helicopter and Being a 'Problem Player'
Welcome to TPG, Mp! (Or is it stark?) Please don't let this initial introduction stain your perception of TPG. I'll admit that my first experience with you was as you killed me several times in a row with the chopper on Sharqi, and my initial, emotional response was that you HAD to be doing something shady. After that initial, irrational reaction, i saw enough of your game play to realize that you're a damn good player, and now I'm quite glad you're a part of our community (especially if we're on the same team!). Players of your caliber can be extremely frustrating to play against, but ultimately, I feel, raise the bar and make all of us better players. Figuring out how to stay alive with you in the air, and finding a way to bring you down, can be a challenge. But, oh, the satisfaction when we finally get it done!
So, please, take the time to look around the forums and get to know us better. This is a great community. Let us prove that to you."A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

Re: Regarding the Attack Helicopter and Being a 'Problem Player'
Thanks for the welcome guys!
Most of my OP was simply to give a different perspective on the attack helicopter, since I saw a fair amount of people saying that it was overpowered (on this board, in-game, and in other communities). As a pilot and gunner of more than 110 hours, I simply don't feel that way and I expressed that opinion in the OP. The balance of the chopper with this patch is nice, *cough* other than the TV missile *cough*, because it takes a similar amount of teamwork and effort to fly/gun the thing as compared to taking it out of the sky. That's what I wanted to focus on, really; the balance of the attack chopper.
Some of the side conversations are a little off of what I wanted to convey though. I, in no way, wanted to call SourceSkills out for being frustrated. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to be killed over and over by the same thing (namely Brass or Tholis! Curse you and your jets!). However, I do think that adapting to the battle-in-hand is important. If you are getting killed by an IFV or tank or attack chopper again and again, switch to a kit that hurts it [*THIS HURTS YOU,SHEP--CHOPPER*] and take it out.
I did want to individually address a couple things though.

Re: Regarding the Attack Helicopter and Being a 'Problem Player'
Stark.
First off, welcome to the forums. I would have welcomed you eariler, but this thread slipped my notice until just a few minutes ago.
Now then, I just wanted to say a few things. First off, nothing frustrates me more then an Attack Helicopter that no one can seem to knock down. It's why in BC2, if I saw a Helicopter in the air, I would immediately switch to Engineer kit to knock it down myself. However, what I prefer to that is having a competent player in our chopper to deal with the aerial threat so that I can focus on what I do best, which is ground pounding and flag capping. I'm glad to have you around, because there are very few things that I like more then a player who is good at chopper flying. Now, that fact doesn't excuse you from my ire while you're on the opposing team, but when we are on the same team, I know that you would be around to take care of those pesky enemy choppers for me.
Secondly, I want to thank you for doing the things you've been doing. Switching teams to balance them out, abandoning your chopper when your team really needs ground pounders. These are things that I would expect from a regular who has been playing here for a while. Not from someone who has never stopped by the forums. These things show that you're definitely TPG Material. And I'm glad that you're now on the forums for the full experience.
I'm new to Battlefield 3, but I've been playing with TPG for a very long time now. Ever since I stumbled across their server while searching for one in Battlefield 2. Don't let your first experience here on the forums color your opinion of us. We're all a pretty good bunch here (Except for Blood_Thirst and Awesome-O. Watch out for those two.) I'm pretty sure you're going to fit right in here.
See you on the Battlefield,
Option Hunter
