New Pilot kit is EPIC!

[myles]

I love the way the new Pilot kit allows you to surrender as more and more rescue attempepts of Hostages that are pilots are taking place.

I was playing Lakshar valley(on T&T) as taliban v Brits towards the end of the round i was with my AA kit looking for the lynx in the sky i finally found it and shot it down and it crashed landed on the road near me about 100 meters up. I ran with some other guy to the crash site to find nothing but a supply crate. I kept looking around and saw the pilot with his hands up beside the river that runs down the middle of the map. I held him with my gun point to his head asking him in global chat 'give me a patch !' he gave it to me. I was thinking for somthing to ask of the team to give me for exchange of the piloit until a jeep came shooting at me and the other guy who was with me we both hit the dirt as tracers were shooting right next to us. we taught the piloit was wright beside us but we looked to see him at the supply crate requesting a kit we sprinted to the supply crate and we got their when he just got his kit and we both sprayed simutansilya whole mag into him and he died. 1 second (literlty) after this the game ended due to our last cache being taken out so we didnt have to withstand the rescue team just about to kill us.

Well done pilot for nearley killing us i think your name was [T&T] Rico (somthing like that)

Have you had any hostage missons like this where there is a downed pilot being held captive?

Devs please make the pilot kit be like 10 tickets so it can be more intense and it will make hostage rescuse a must.

All kits can be made to surrender. You simply open up your secondary radio right click on request kit and press your swap kit button (default is G). Doing this you drop your kit and can surrender/salute.
Also pretty useful if your medic goes down and another sm gets him up but doesn't want to be medic they can swap kits.

Lol that was me last night. Was rather amusing! Thought I got hit my an RPG whilst doing a drop in the river but guess it was your AA. The engine cut out and the Lynx literally dropped into the water.

I almost got that gun from the crate on full auto

the other day i was playing insurgency on Al Basrah,
a tank was by refinery, and a civi tried to bomb-car him. the tank but a few bullets into the engine and the civi just bailed because he was too far away to hurt the tank. the tank held him until i could get there and made him lean on the hood of his car and arrested him. it was fun

This one time me and my buddy keith blew up 8 artillery IEDs on an abrams.... man we were so wasted

Funny thing is, Keith didn't know how to properly wire his IED... oh boy you can imagine the bang from him.

[00SoldierofFortune00]

What they should do is make the Pilot kit sort of like the Civi kit where the enemy can't kill the Pilot while his hands are up or else he gets a punishment. There could be abuses of course, but seems like it would be a pretty good idea and way to capture pilots IMO instead of idiots killing them lol.

[Frosty56]

lol this has nothing to do with the pilot kit but i remember playing as hamas on gaza. I saw 2 enemy soldiers so i walked near them. They both turned and looked at me so i dropped my kit and surrendered. When they walked near me i quickly picked up my m16a1 dived behind a orange car, sprung up from behind cover and killed both of them. It was SO EPIC i couldnt stop but brag and laugh

Another incident is on silent eagle we saw a downed BTR so i ordered my squad to search it...Funny because there was a crewman he turned and looked at us and surrendered. I quickly told him on global chat to put his hands up on the tree. I turned and looked at my squad and said " TAKE NO PRISONERS!" and shot the guy execution style.

i luv PR ^_^

The other day my squad and I came across an Israeli SL and medic trying to swap kits with eachother. We shot the leader and chased the medic away before he could recover a kit. Our SL ran after him with a Jericho pistol and caught him in a nearby alley. I didn't witness the execution, but it was fun to be a part of -- Ambush, steal weapons, kill unarmed man for the win.

I definitely agree if they make it like a civy kit which actually makes sense because pilot does not have any weapons.

This will make Search and Rescue missions a lot more common and that smoke the pilot has will definitely be more useful having escape the crash and hide in the woods and then when a heli comes close you pop a smoke.

maybe make the pilot disappear on the map and just give a marker of where he can be
make the pilot worth something if the enemy captures him maybe 10 points?

Had a friendly huey downed in Muttrah on Tactical Gamer.

The pilot began making his way North to a friendly FO, when an enemy automatic rifleman went prone and aimed at him, demanding the pilot to walk to him. I was on a roof literally 5 meters from the pilot, and over mumble I told him to just stay still for a second while I lined up a shot.

I smacked three lead pellets into his head and let the pilot make his way back to friendlies.

Had I not been there, he would have had to comply or die trying to escape.




I'm iffy on the idea of the pilot kit being worth tickets.

There's upsides and downsides. The upside is it now places importance on saving the pilots. The downside, is it now places importance on the pilot that is not given to anyone else.
I think it's okay now, since the pilot can play his cards right, arrange an escape and still have an enjoyable, unique game experience, rather than it always being necessary to break and go save that poor pilot who lost his heli-chopper...



Regardless; the suggestion forum is closed and this is not the place for suggestions. Let's try to avoid that here, guys.

[mosinmatt]

Game play isnt really made to rescue pilots though. Also, taliban and the like shouldnt be punished for killing him. They have no qualms about sawing someones head off with a knife. Or bombing markets.

[Northwest Fresh]

I don't like the rescue idea being an objective, simply because any squad with half a heart will help a grounded pilot out if he asks them to. Don't need any perks or incentives to make it possible.

As for how the insurgents should respond in these situations...I just like executing unarmed Coalition combatants. It's fun to play "hostage", but I'd rather watch him buckle under an AK barrage while attempting surrender.

I remember playing Silent Eagle. My squad got whiped out by this enemy tank. I was the only one left so figured, what the heck, I'll just drop my kit and surrender. You I walked towards the tank with my hands up. The tank's turrent turned and looked at me for a while. Either the driver or gunner got out of the vehicle and walked towards me. Then I noticed some friendlies nearby and grabbed my chance! I wasn't too far away from my dropped kit, so quickly pressed "G". It would take another second for my rifle to be ready to fire, so duck into cover, as the friendly soldiers engaged the enemy crewman.

Unfortunately for us, the crewman made it back into the tank and tried to pwn us up. They didn't get us, but we weren't able to take out the tank either.

Can't remember how it ended. But I do know it was the same round with our Chinookpilot doing "roll over" tricks while my squad was inside, and live!

[Rhino]

lol good story, made me chuckle

[Flynn1982]

Lol with this new systerm it opens up alot of chances not just for pilot but all classes to break out a random bit of role play, I may just try it tonight for a grin proberly get wasted straight away though lol.

Few days ago on RT Mumble, 2 Militia's came to us with Hands up and screaming "don't shoot us, don't shoot!"
At first we were thinking of bringing them to our last flag and keeping them as POW's, but we didn't had time for that and we just shot them in the head

[motherdear]

was driving a tank on silent eagle the other day with one of my nato friends. we shot down a mil chopper and went to investigate. when we got there the pilot was walking towards us with his hands up.
we looked at him for a few seconds and blew up the chopper, drove on and suddenly we could hear machinegun fire and riflefire behind us. i looked on my map and 12 guys to the east on top of a mountain was just pwn the poor pilot felt good
