HELICOPTER: PILOT�S GUIDE Helicopters are probably the most destructive, feared and fastest vehicle in Battlefield (especially on Xbox Live Multiplayer). They can be used to transport team-mates who bail out, clear out streets harbouring hordes of tanks and jeeps and can be useful to get to good sniping points high up. The list goes on and I don�t want anyone missing out on all the action and excitement of flying a helicopter which is probably one of the best parts of playing. I hope this quick guide will help you to understand them and how to pilot them. TAKING OFF � Ok, before you take off wait for anyone who wants to get in. This adds to the excitement and realism of team play on Xbox Live and it�s common courtesy. If you didn�t wait for someone you shouldn�t be surprised if you get shot down by someone on your team. Also, if you are in the process of taking off and you are being shot by an SMG or pistol by someone on your own team then don�t take it personally; they aren�t trying to blow it up, they normally just wanna catch a ride. When everyone�s aboard, the next step is to make sure there are no obstructions. Even a parked jeep next to you could somehow make the heli blow up. Something that you should watch out for is if you get to close to another helicopter then you run the risk of blowing yourself up and the other one, so watch out and always look at the mini-map to see if your getting too close! Above all keep an eye on your rotor blades, because if something taps them then they stop spinning and you free-fall for a bit. You constantly have to be careful and observant. OK, if you use the default controls then the pitch control should be the left thumbstick. Pitch control is basically how high or low you want to go. Gently push the thumbstick up (assuming you haven�t inverted your controls) and you should rise up into the air. During the whole flying experience I would say that you shoud be most careful whilst taking off as it�s infuriating when you randomly blow up if you get careless and the fact that they take forever to respawn. Congratulations!! You have taken off!! FLYING THE BEAST � There are many different styles of flying a helicopter; it depends on what reason you got into the helicopter for. Did you get in to transport your mates or do you want to blow enemies up and melt some metal? Whatever you want to do its always best to fly it fast. If you fly it slowly then you are a sitting duck to GTAMS, .50cals, Tanks or Laser Targets. � Yeh, the enemy don�t appreciate helicopters in the air. To fly it fast takes some time to figure out. The idea is to angle your helicopter. To do this (when in the air) you use the left thumbstick. Push it diagonally right or left, whatever direction your going in. What this does is turn the back of the helicopter to the side and raises it. You also have to push the right thumbstick diagonally in the same direction as the right one. So if you are going in a left direction then push the right thumbtick diagonally left and left thumstick diagonally left. If you are going straight ahead it doesn�t matter. If you don�t angle the back of the helicopter and just push the left thumbtick forward then you will go really slowly. So to fly it fast you use both thumbsticks. Use both! The left thumstick forward (to go forward) and the right thumbstick diagonally left or right. Obviously, when flying it if you want to go lower or higher then just push the right thumbstick up or down. Well done!!! That�s how to fly your helicopter fast! SHOOTING AND ATTACKING � When your team has bailed or if their going on a cruise with you it�s time to go hunting. The multiplayer maps are pretty huge, but now you know how to fly your helicopter fast I wouldn�t worry. Obvious targets are tanks and jeeps. I normally go straight to the tanks because they are big targets and are slow, but beware of their shells! 2 or 3 good strikes should destroy tanks. But how do you get your helicopter in the right position? This is pretty easy. If you see a tank and if you are high up then immediately start diving down lower (push the right thumbstick down). If you want to fire some accurate missiles then you will need to go quite low down. When I�m flying I�m often a whisker away from touching the ground. So decrease your elevation so your almost level with the tank and fire. If he�s aiming at you then circle around by pushing both the thumbsticks diaganolly. However, don�t worry it takes a few seconds to fire 3 shots but it takes a lot longer to reload a 50mm. 10mm and 23mm tanks deal less damage. A good but risky way to quickly dive down low is to switch positions in the helicopter (black button for multiplayer/white for single player). This means that no one will be piloting it while you are switching positions so it free falls. Don�t leave it to long as the further it goes down the faster it will go and he harder it will be to pull it back up. Another tactical hint is to know where vehicle repair sites are. Hover over them and you heli will be repaired. The easiest sites are helipads, but there not on all maps (only backstab I think). OK. That�s pretty much it. It took me a while to find all this out but once you learn it and practice it you will soon master it. A good way of practicing is by going on empty multiplayer maps where there are helicopters. You can fly about and practice diving, flying fast etc. GOOD LUCK!
