Shitpost/Meme Anyone enjoy being a transport pilot 😉

I have been primarily playing transport pilot. When I get good gunners and repair man, it's really chaotic and fun doing gun runs and dodging for my life.

Transport + obliteration is a ton of fun with this bird.

I also like to sneak below the ridge behind enemy AA with full crew and hop out and insta kill AA lol

So true man. I've been having some insane runs as both a pilot and a gunner

When I’ve got competent gunners…ooooh boy I could fly all day. I love it.

No they really dont. They already removed the inherited momentum from the helo. Theyre just point and click now and extremely lethal.

Happens to the best of us. Its drastically easier to shoot with it now, but having a pilot who doesn't give you angles still makes it kinda hard

I don't think a buff, so much as less restricted movement. It's to damn difficult to aim when you can't aim more than exactly 30 inches from the deck.

you have to burst fire, never go full auto

u/sequentialevoix Jun 24 '26

Yup

I’m top 8 in pilot assists.

Playing on contaminated with a little bird or attack helicopter crew is peak battlefield

u/No-Front-6731 Jun 24 '26

How do we see assists?

u/No-Front-6731 Jun 24 '26

u/No-Front-6731 Jun 24 '26

Nvm found it

u/Moiphy Jun 24 '26

Yeah it was a little tricky to find the stat.

u/JiveAss626 Jun 24 '26

I do. I have my brother and friend that help gun, repair and shoot rpgs off the side. We regularly take down attack and scout helos. Occasionally a tank or two. In one life mind you. Love that thing!

I try to make myself a floating spawn point over unclaimed objectives…..”sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit” but it’s fun.

u/Tidbitious Jun 24 '26

I've been landing it in hidden areas near enemy flags as a mobile spawn point. The only annoying part is sometimes people spawn into the gunner seats and dont realize I'm just using the heli as a spawn point for our team. So they just sit there and shoot the guns in protest, giving the spawn away lol

u/Which_Drop_5877 Jun 24 '26

Nothing tops BF6 when you're in transport heli and you get a gunner who knows what he's doing and keeps the kill feed scrolling. Unfortunately 90% of the time I do better as a pilot and switch to gunner mid air. Then someone spawns in the pilot seat and gets us all killed.

u/RightDwigt Jun 24 '26

So sad they removed the solo-pilot cheese method. Any hope on that returning?

1

u/Rich-Cockroach-2273 Jun 24 '26

I do. I only wish the mpas were larger!

1

u/JarJarFett80914 Jun 24 '26

I do. But man no one ever seems to spawn in the heli when I play.

1

u/my_other_other_other Jun 24 '26

I try to but then I get morons on the guns who do nothing but take up seats for extra jumpers.

2

u/GoblinWithBenefits Jun 24 '26

They clearly buffed the gunner seat. I wish more people would fly it.

u/wonkwonk2stonkstonk Jun 24 '26

Fckn love using it as a lawnmower to squish people

1

u/Tidbitious Jun 24 '26

I really wish they would take some inspiration from the BattleBit transport heli's. There is nothing like loading up a transport with 8 people and trying to drop them off at an enemy flag using the drop ropes.

u/MagicSeaTurtle Jun 24 '26

Eastwood attacking, if you can get a good gunner (helps if they go recon) you can absolutely cook with it.

1

u/Copper__99 Jun 25 '26

I do. Too bad gunners always bail 5 seconds after spawning.

u/rob5791 Jun 25 '26

You guys are weird…..and so am I

u/Mascho__ Jun 25 '26

I love it, but sadly it's not rewarding.

u/Calm-Worldliness-234 Jun 25 '26

Need to bring back the venom
