the 5 second delay for scoped rifles is realistic. have u ever tried to sight in a target 20 meters away with a scoped rifle? it takes time.

rifles with iron sights or red dots take less delay time. trust, its not "arbitrary" its realistic.

I'd imagine people have a habitual cheekweld they use instantly for ACOGs and the like, because otherwise BAC doesn't work at all.

I also tend to listen for sound, if I hear anything revving up I know I can't take off yet.

That's my favorite way, when the chopper stops changing the noises it makes, it's ready. (Assuming you don't touch the throttle)

Practice really does make perfect here. If you've read the manual and all the other tips, all that's left to do is practice.

Stick with it, PR always needs good pilots!

just be a regular grunt for a while till u get really familiar with PR.

One thing about the mine marker though guys, it doesnt always work.

You can only mark a limited amount of times, and then it stops marking.... So... if your layign down more than one mine, you might want to shout out the mine location in team chat, although ul still find some moron who will drive over it....

With hueys it's hard to know, even though just having a working torque and RPM gauge would fix every single problem with guessing if the helo is ready for takeoff. Blackhawks are easier, just wait for the "whoppa whoppa whoppa" sound to go faster and then you know you're ready.


Bad complaint, but APCs are terrible against other APCs.

Speaking of flying, I was a god at flying in vBF2, and I always used my trusty logitech joystick.

Unfortunately my joystick stopped working, and now I am without one. In vBF2, I've gotten pretty good at flying the attach chopper with the keyboard, but what about PR. Is it worth trying to fly with a keyboard, or should I wait for my replacement joystick before starting to practice flying on a training server.

People, Anyone got any idea how come i cant open P.R.? i mean like when i try to open it i cant! it opens BF2 instead, so i go to multyplayer and it crashes! I was sure that i had v1.41 too! if anyone has any idea plz tell. btw i got vista.

My advise to you is to never fly when your not confident of yourself to fly safely and effectively. There are many times where I'm just having a bad day and pass on flying an aircraft, letting my squad member fly it so I can co-pilot or spot for them.

Also practice on a fairly full training server. That way you'll have the experience of playing with other players and against some enemy AA.

A good tip on flying in PR, and landing on Kashan (From my experience) Is to let go of the throttle at the corners of the map (On training) and glide, and use throttle when you need.

A good landing speed is around 600-700.
