Bug or gameplay
I was playing Oil Fields tonight and I ran into something that seemed a little odd.
Everytime I got a lock on a helicopter I would fire and invariably they would shoot off flares and my rocket went zooming off into who knows where. So I started getting my lock on waiting for the flares then after the flares were shot, I lost my lock on and I couldn't get a lock on the same flyer until I died. I unzoomed, switched weapons and back, but nothing. Has anyone else noticed this?A captain of the most awesome IHS ever and remember to burn before you pillage.

Re: Bug or gameplay
Thats strange Cat. It has got to be a bug, I can do exactly what you were trying to do without any problems. In fact, I never loose the lock on when they shoot off the flares.

Re: Bug or gameplay
There might be something happening if the helicopter is going in and out of "stealth mode". Have not seen that happen first hand.

Re: Bug or gameplay
I'ld like to know how to fly the thing and not crash within seconds. I can the 2142 gunships, but these seems really touchy to me.

Re: Bug or gameplay
A few assumptions here...did you like to fly with inverted axis? Have you tried to changed the sensitivity for just the helos? I noticed that randomly, sometimes my changes are saved and sometimes not. I fly the old school mouse/keyboard way and have not had problems on this game. Is it possible that one of your settings is not saved like you think it is? I bought a lazer mouse recently where you could change sensitivity on the fly and that seemed to help some of the inconsistencies I felt between games.

Re: Bug or gameplay
I find that it's insanely easy to do rolls in these helis, they don't have the auto-anti-flip that the 2142 gunships do......And you know what? I like it!!! *crashes into a smoke stack*

Re: Bug or gameplay
In the trade off between automatic stability in the air and flying dexterity, DC choppers crash a lot for learners and are a joy the flag in complex ways for vets
