A guide to be a profitable pilot and a good passenger.

I'd like to give some tips and tricks to new pilots but also to passengers of said vehicles.

• As a little bird pilot, you have the most agile, quickest but also most vulnerable transport of the game.

• The huey is a slower, bulkier but also sturdier aircraft that can recoup it's cost the fastest.

• The armed littlebirds are fly in and fly out support needed by your team to support them.

• The huey with miniguns looses 2 passengers but gain the ability to defend itself or support infantry on the ground.

• Minigun ammo cost a lot, as a passenger who plans on riding the huey, buy your own ammo if you intend on using it, while HP can work at the start of a wipe, FMJ is the go to but AP is better if you intend on shooting at vehicles.

• Helicopter can auto-rotate when engine is out but you have to lower the collective quickly. Flying back to base without a tail rotor is easier, climb then bank until you grab some speed, the helicopter will turn toward your direction of travel once you pickup speed.

• Wait for your pilot to honk for you to disembark, you are higher than you think if you didn't hear the sounds of the skies, you aren't landed most likely.

• An experienced pilot will not fly high above the zone for you to drop with a parachute unless you ask for it, you can leave your parachute in the inventory of the vehicle if you desire for the one person who forgot it next time a paradrops is asked of the pilot.

• You can resquest pickups withe middle mouse button but also use signal smoke to mark a landing zone or request a resupply crate, pilot get a marker on the map and the hud.

• You can right-click on the map to request landing to your pilot on a specific location, they will see it

• You can fire , scout, heal from a helicopter.

• When requesting something in chat, specify if it is fob supplies or actual loose ammo you need. Saying: i need ammo at thr fob, people will think you want a pallet.

• Understand as a passenger that flying is not as easy as some pilot make it seem and when you have 30k on the line in a huey, the pilot might refuse to drop you on the CZ directly.

• Don't feel any pressure to drop people where they specifically ask, if you don't like the zone they request find the next best for you while the closest to their request, better a safe drop than having to start over because you were cocky.

• Grab a wrench to repair your heli, accidents happens. Plus repairing yourself cost you less than going back to base.

• If there is nobody for you to taxi, don't wait there, especially in a huey, grab pallets and ferry them to different fob, you can over on fob in the map to see what each fob needs. Littlebirds can either switch to gun version by leaving their vehicle locked in spawn which will then be reimboursed at the end of a match or ferry crates of meds, ammo and even armor for those squad who request them.

• You can make quite a lot of money resupplying infantry with crates, just ask what people need and where. You can take a gamble and drop crates at fob but right now players don't know they can over on the map above them to see theur content.

• Grenades, signal smoke and white smoke are useful ,a lot of player don't bother bringing with them, a crate at each fob is often a sure way to get money, remember that every crates that survive till the end will be reimboursed to you, so invest wisely and safely.

• Dropping pallets as huey , rewards straight away with supplying on the battlefield, even outside the cricle, as long as you drop on a FOB. But you get a bonuses for your drop only when somebody unpacks it, so drop supplies to fob which are in use.

• While you can afford flying without any equipment, recouping your money easily is a good incentive on investing on a repair tool, helmet and bulletproof vest, i've managed to survive direct fire from whole teams while hot dropping teamates on the CZ. It's also good to be able to repair your blade if you accidently hit a tree on the landing.

• There will always be a bad landing, it's a game and those j-hook and backilift landing are awesome, while also dangerous sometimes. Just learn of your mistakes and be safer with full kited troops.

• AS a passenger, don't forget you can use binos to scout while riding the chopper. Easy money.

• You can revive downes teamates in your chopper, go back to base eject them and heal them. The minigun huey is a great medevac.

Feel free to add more if you want, my next guide will be on driving and Fob building.
