You're s***. Just absolutely s***. Completely and utterly useless. I want to reach through my lan connection and punch every single one of you in the throat. Is it really that hard to understand your purpose riding support gunner in attack heliis and tanks.
Well since most of you are too god damned stupid to figure it out on your own I'll have to explain it to you.
The purpose of the attack heli is to hunt and destroy armoured tanks. If your pilot is making a run at a tank his missles alone will not be able to destroy it in one salvo. Your purpose is to wait for these attacking opportunities and also fire on said tank.
If you've got your barrels pointed behind or directly to the side of the heli, firing away at some sniper half a mile away and out in the middle of no where posing no real threat to anyone, its not doing much good is it? Don't be firing at every f***ing thing that moves. You will draw unnecessary attention to the helicopter and you greatly increase your chance of being shot down. You've now also alerted everyone to your position and have now been spotted a dozen times making the armoured vehicles aware that your pilot was maneuvering to attack them. Keep your barrels pointed within 45 degrees of the nose and save your rounds for tank hunting. Once tanks have been destroyed feel free to pick off the odd infantry.

Tank gunners, also some of the biggest morons to haunt the servers of Battlefield. Firstly if you're anything other than a repair torch carrying engineer, you have no business getting into a tank in the first place. Your purpose in two fold, one to act as an extra set of eyes and assist in eliminating the most immediate threat to the big metal machine in which you're riding. Anti-tank engineers obviously being the first, C4 carrying snipers in close proximity the second. If your driver is engaged in an exchange of fire with an opposing tank DO NOT SIT AND FIRE YOUR MACHINE GUN AT HIM, it will do absolutely nothing and the enemy tanker will sit and laugh at your STUPIDITY. Swivel you barrel around to the side of the tank opposite of the direction you are taking fire from. Exit the tank, crouch down and begin repairing your tank. The tank will act as a barrier between you and the opposing tank. It will keep you safe.

Also spotting is another duty to be expected of vehicle gunners. Even if playing hardcore spotting still has its purpose. When you spot the game will give audio clues as to the general whereabouts of the enemy you are spotting. They will also show up on the large map seen in deployment screen. This is very helpful to your team.

If you RANDOM GUY choose to ignore the advice I've given you and continue to play in the same selfish, unhelpful and idiotic way in which you've been playing, I wish you nothing but ill will, and hope you are someday gang raped by a pack of drunken hillbillies.

Calm down, Rambo. People can play the game however they want.

This is why I don't play online and not because of 'randoms'.

Did you send them a polite message offering advice on how to improve their play after the game and share some of your knowledge? You seem like the sort of level headed chap that would do that rather than, say, a screaming insult telling them how much they suck.

Play some infantry based 64 player CQ Operation Locker and Metro with me.
I prefer hardcore mode myself but yeah I'll team up with you next time I see you online.

Its not worth the effort to message people. Even well intended advice is likely to be met with hostility.

Hostility like the original post ? :wink:
 
Guys, his hostility is completely understandable. I've felt the exact same way. My uncle used to play this game with me, and when I broke the rules, by talking about it, he went to jail. Lucky bastard doesn't even have to pay rent.

We should all be mindful, that some people have more on the line when playing.
 
Obviously the venom in my original post was exaggerated to convey my frustration.

Getting killed and being on the losing team in close games due to the actions of a few does annoy the s*** out of me though.

You should be mad at yourself for playing Battlefield instead of Call of Duty. Just messing! :)
