I go on my way, keeping low as I always do, approximately 1/2 to 1 meter above ground (back in .809 when I was a super-good Cow pilot, I haven't flown since .856 was released). I pull up my map to do a regular check of armor reports, infantry reports, checks to see if I am still on my intended bearing, etc. I notice that my nose is dipping down too low.

See, flying at high speeds <1 meter from the ground requires intense precision. A dip of 3 degrees can mess you up big time.

Back on story: I notice my nose is dipping too low, and I freak out. I put the map down, but by the time I regained mouse control over the aircraft, the hull had begun to hit the ground. Once the hull hit the ground, the friction caused the rest of the heli to go over. Boom.

Serious bummer.

Yea, on a good day I can fly near enough full speed at street level in Muttrah, that is between the buildings just above the road in a LB but unless you pull up completely vertically without the slightest bit of diagonal movement then you usually clip a building and flip haha. Nothing better than turning a corner in an attack Huey like your driving a car just to face a squad full of men, by the time they have time to arm you have already wasted them because they expect you to be above them then you round the corner like your on wheels. lol
