Tonight I had just an awful time with the attack chopper. Not when I was flying it, just trying to get in the thing in the pilot seat. Attempting to get it is a f--king nightmare. I'm thinking maybe if I take the approach of educating every other pilot in the universe we might stand a chance as a team. Common sense really hasn't worked so here's a different approach.

Pilot

Don't drive the helo straight into the ground. Helicopters are allergic to dirt and will break out in explosions.

Don't drive the helo directly at the stationary AA. People who use those are hackers and can't ever be killed so don't bother.

If you survey an area from afar before you go barreling into it you live longer and your gunner will compliment your penis.

Don't fire the rockets at jets. Its a confirmed bug that it gives them health not damage.

When your gunner fires a TV missile, there's a good chance he has more. Lining up shots for him will make you secrete mint scented pheromones that points flock too.

When you want to be sneaky, flying low across a wide open field with 50 things shooting at you is very sneaky, however not doing that at all is much sneakier.

Don't fly so high, they nerfed the orbital cannon they give the gunner and now its better to fly somewhere you can shoot things.

Gunner

Shoot the gun. Seriously. Point the gun at something and shoot it. Shoot. The. Gun.

If you listen you can hear a secret robot language Easter egg sound when the pilot deploys countermeasures. The phrase in Americanese roughly translates to, "I just deployed my countermeasures, you should deploy yours next."

If you pilot politely asks you to get out so his friend on voice can gun and you do it, DICE will email you a collectors edition hand job.

Pretend you don't want to die and shoot at the biggest threat to the helicopter.
