[AAR] Pilots of old times were no better then now - Page 2

The handling on the Wasp was extremely odd. I found it a lot easier to handle the LB because of the amount of unrealistic twists and turns and up-side down fun that you can do with it. The LB definitely has the better maneuverability than the Wasp, but a lot easier to get killed in especially since it has no windows

And, from my experience, the bullets do jack-shit damage.

Having an AA kit on the transport LB's side rail means that the Wasp will go down either way.

You can shoot an LB down with an AK

No, I mean the wasp-cannons do jack shit.

In the end I got hit by a full-on strafe, and I didn't even bleed.

That says much when jumping from 2 feet high can make you bleed-die.

Weak gun+extremely accurate+no splash. If you manage to hit the guys you can usually kill them but hitting them while flying is hard.

Clearly you never saw me on Barracuda when a friend invited me to the attack Huey squad. I took one chopper out and never made it back to the Carrier. I was so afraid of crashing into the back of him on our first attack run that I leveled out and didnt have enough speed. An FAV got enough rounds into me and I got critical damage over the beach, and crashed into the water.

Another time I flew some supplies to some friends on Muttrah. What I think was a BTR got some hits on me on the way in. I dropped the crate off target(but close enought that they were still able to use it, thank god) and I started to get the vibration over the roundabout near the edge of the map. I finally lost it just outside the entrance to the docks. I thought I could fudge my way over to the repair depot and maybe save the chopper.

This is why I stay on the ground, my name is Wh33lman, not W1ngman.

why are people saying the wasp cannons are weak?! there were bloody powerful! and yes it was very odd to fly but you just have to adapt in how you use it and it could destroy anything easily

Powerful like a pistol? Once I tried to kill a static truck and the cannon did not seem to do anything. Maybe I was just flying it wrong
