I understand that snipers are very effective when they are on rooftops. I don’t hate snipers. They can be a very valuable member of a team.

But please, for the love of God, would you please stop jumping out of choppers you are piloting?

I swear the only thing I hate more than being killed by some asshole hiding in the bushes on the other side of the map is being killed by an inconsiderate teammate who won’t spend 5 minutes becoming competent enough to land a chopper on a roof.

Thanks.

What about that bloody assignment of landing a parachute jump on the tallest tower in caspian or gulf (in second assault). Every time I get in a support chopper full of 5 people, the pilot leaves for the jump and we all scramble to get thing upright before we all die…

OK I am guilty of this. I don’t do it with squad members in the chopper but yes I am one of those people. I have a solution though, if we could make it a common for the sniper to say " hey get ready to take over" then this wouldn’t be at much of a problem. Just a thought.

I agree! If the pilot bails there should be something programmed so if anyone else is in the chopper they get auto switched to pilot the chopper.

I always fly the choppers over rooftops to drop the snipers off and I go where the gunners want or I hover and cap flags while the gunners wreck shit. I hope I’m a good pilot.lol

If you land, your squad mates can spawn on you, and there’s a chopper waiting.

When I spawn on my sniper squaddies, I give them ammo. It would be nice if there was a chopper waiting there.

You could use VOIP to say that, or hop in the back and communicate with the pilot.

I’ve done the same but i try to quickly que my squad member that spawned on me by hitting the bail out quick message a few time. That at least gets across the general idea.

Lets be real, there has never been a very effective sniper on a rooftop.

I’m pretty sure I saw one. Once. On the other team.

I’ve seen some great snipers make a huge difference in a game. A squad of snipers in the right place can be devastating.

I just want them to learn to land a chopper.

Yessir, my squad ended up being all snipers on CTF. They planted a radio beacon and us 4 were spotting the entire enemy team while getting 200-500 meter kills occasionally. It was beautiful because the land was so flat nobody could come at us guns blazing and anti-sniping doesn’t work when all 4 of us are spamming shots on you. Eventually someone got smart and had a tank, but the radio beacon allowed us to spawn back and C4 them out. I miss that squad, so effective.

Tl;dr snipers work best in groups

I like three snipers and one support guy. That way you never run out of ammo, and at medium range suppression + snipers = bad time for the other guys.

I do this but I fly really high up and jump out.. Giving the passenger a good 15-20 seconds to take the helm and continue their journey..

I agree, 99% of the time I play as a Sniper, I love it.  
I’ve understood that isn’t good for my team if I eject from my heli, at the beginning I was doing it (what a shame).  
Now I look out for damaged heli or I safely land them.
