How are the physics compared to BFV for choppers? If they're the same, I can probobly help DJM with the flight problems, as I'm a decent chopper pilot. Y'know, despite my always wanting to flip upside down and die...

Flying helicopters in Battlefield: Vietnam wasn't hard, not at all.
Flying helicopters in Desert Combat was hard... Well, at least stabilizing them was.
FUCK

Exactly. It took some serious practice to get really good at flying DC choppers, which made it all the more enjoyable when you actually did learn how to fly them- it was an accomplishment, not something any joe newbie could do (though I do understand why a professional developer would make it easier for newbs to fly). I and a number of my squadmates got good at flying choppers- and I mean REAL good. Good to being able to take on fighters and win, flying into and out of hangars, station-keeping above the most constricted flag zones, and knowing the performance of the machines to a point where we knew exactly to what point we could push any maneuver. A particular favorite move of mine was to cut throttle, roll hard, then go full throttle while inverted, executing a sort of corkscrew-ish maneuver that was extremely hard to follow (roll combined with yaw...if you'd never seen it done before, you would swear it was about to crash).
My favorite ride was the small four-seater Opposition chopper- it carried a number of different loadouts (including none), including dual cannon pods, quad WAFARS packs, quad anti-tank missiles, and a mix of two anti-tank and two WAFARS packs. The AT/WAFARS and the cannon pod variants were my favorites. Nice and maneuverable (and fast), but still packing a punch and having enough armor to take a stinger hit or two (the Little Bird and MH-500 could barely take one before going down).
Good times...Those birds could do things the BF2 choppers couldn't even dream about. And all the weapons were 100% skill- nothing with lock-on. If you couldn't fly and aim, you couldn't make a difference.

Not hard? Maybe not if you've had previous experience, but I had never played a game like that before, so every time I got in a chopper I quickly found out how many differant types of fish there were in the body of water next to me. Same goes with the planes, just with more trees and buildings.

I don't like the homing anti-aircraft missiles in BF2. Sure, flak cannnons would look weird in modern combat game, but they are just so much fun. I don't enjoy the missiles one bit, it's just boring, and it's very hard to hit great pilots. It's basically just pointing at the enemy and clicking at the right time, no need for aiming/leading skills, really. Stupid things.
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

I played the demo. I didn't try the choppers but the gameplay was good. I like the game a lot better when playing with friends than randoms. I played the demo at college in a LAN and it was a lot of fun, but people kept camping at the plane spawn instead of getting other vehicles.
I set up the demo on my home computer and joined a random server. Grabbed a soldier, got killed, killed someone then got killed twice from seemingly nowhere. Then just thought 'fuck it' and left.
It's definitely worth a buy if you're thinking of setting up or joining a server with friends. I feel that some games are less fun to play with random people than other games, and this is one of them.

Yeah, I agree with that. It's a LOT more fun to play on LAN than on the internet. I play it with my friends and only with my friends occasionally. It's fun to have a buggy chase or to fight over a pointless island that doesn't even have a flag.
Yes, I do have the DC copters mastered.

fuck off lijisu

One: Learn how to spell my name. Ain't hard, just a few letters.
Two: "Fuck Off"? Well, let's just take a look at the meanings of these two words put together in the dictionary, shall we?(Search was for "Fuck")
Phrasal Verbs:
fuck off
1. Used in the imperative as a signal of angry dismissal.
2. To spend time idly.
3. To masturbate.
Now, one would think that before you use the term, you should know what it means. Of course, since he didn't say in which sense he meant, it can be taken in the 3 ways shown above. I, personally, like the second option best, because nine times out of ten, I'm already spending my time idly surfing the internet for random useless facts that I can use on forums to make people feel like idiots.
Next choice I would make as to how to take that, would be number three. Unfortunately for scott, not only do I have a girlfriend, but I have much better things to do with my time(see above).
Now, the last way we can take this is number one. Now, if you know the surroundings, which is not only the Internet, but a forum at that, you would guess that it is stupid and ignorant to get mad at someone on the Internet, unless it is a viable reason. For instance, it is stupid to get mad at someone on the Internet if they call you an idiot. It is not stupid to get mad at the Internet if they imply that something you are doing is not only illegal, but obvious, and you should think before you act.(Ex. Dante(*coughasshatcough*) to JonWil.)
Now, incase you're wondering why I typed this all out, it's because I just woke up and felt like it. So incase you want to pester me about it: Fuck off, in the sense of meaning #1.

Man, I'm in ridiculously full agreement with you. The thing with me is that I can zip through the streets of Urban Siege in a little bird or that opfor chopper with a big deal like a mofo while shooting everything up that gets in my way.
Then I buy BF2 and try fly the choppers on there, I absolutely suck with them, they don't handle at all like I'm used to, the throttle is confusing, the whole control system with them is just more jerky and unresponsive. I mean where in DC I could get a Apache to spin around on a dime and do a barrel roll at the same time, I can't do anything with the choppers in BF2.
I trained till I bled from the tips of my fingers with the DC choppers when I really got in to DC, to the point where I would go on to a server, find one of the choppers I really liked (I never did quite get the hang of the Hind, I always thought it flew like one of those big yellow school buses) take out the majority of the oppositions armour out on the field and cap a few flags and then act like I was king of the world.
Some of my favourite stuff to do while flying was along the lines of buzzing anything the enemy had with my light helicopter, pretty much just dive at them like a crazy motherfucker while unloading like hell and hoping like hell you've calculated how much distance you need to level out unless you want to end up splattered across the sand. Once I did this to an enemy Hind pilot who wasn't all that good at flying, I managed to freak him out so much that he slammed in to the side of building and killed himself and someone in the back (no clue why the guy wasn't in front gunnin', coulda gotten me.)
Also a personal favourite will always be flying really low while weaving through obstacles, my favourite chopper to do this with was the opfor helicopter that had the huge tail, you'd take that thing really high, let it drop down and pick up a shitload of speed, so much speed that nothing else could match it and then zip through streets or anything you could find.
So, what were your favourite choppers to use in DC? My favourite was definetly that Iraqi bird, the one with the big tail, it was a bit tricky to handle at times... but once you got the hang of it, it dominated the skies for a nice long while.
BF2 flying on the other hand? You get none of the same satisfaction from it, I mean c'mon they're 'easier' to fly yet also they are much more restricted and I kid you not, you can take the biggest, fatest transport chopper in BF2 and do a loopity-loop with it, no problem and no skill needed.
