Battlefield Tri-hard

Someone was in a lot of trouble for that.

Someone was in a lot of trouble for that.

Yeah, the pilot was definitely trying to show off initially when he did the low flyover of the house. Whatever went wrong happened when he started gaining altitude.

[Warsaw]

I think where it started going wrong was when he made that hard bank to the left at the top of his climb. As soon as he finished that and nosed down, you can bet your buttons he was already thinking "Oh fuck!"

[Cortexian]

Yeah, at 0:20 he was definitely thinking "fuck my life".

Also, watch close at 0:25 and you can see that one guy was probably INCHES away from getting smacked by the tail and tail-rotor assembly.

Fake Edit: Now that I've read the video description, it's good to know that the pilot is facing criminal charges.

if that really was irl battlefield 3, theres about 7 or 8 million people out there who are going to be facing criminal charges for their chopper piloting

[Cortexian]

Yeah, that exact scenario plays out A LOT in Battlefield.

"LOOK AT ME I'M GOING TO FLY REALLY CLOSE TO THIS TOWER TO EVADE THE MISSILE!"

*Hits the top of the tower or get shit by the missile, loses control*

"AWW SHIT BLACK HAWK DOWN!!"

Nah, DICE and EA should face criminal charges for releasing a game with such a shitty UI and lack of a sandbox that people can play in before venturing out into the wild.

That's a pretty sick video. In that you very rarely see that kind of thing in that quality on camera. I'm wondering what the pilot was thinking exactly, but the way he was flying seems to suggest mechanical failure at some point.

Also, if you notice the thing stays in one piece for the most part.

No mechanical failures until he hit the ground. He tried to pull off a return-to-target maneuver in thin mountain air (note the snow) and miscalculated the amount of collective he'd need to apply to keep from hitting the ground. It would have worked had he been operating in the denser air of a lower altitude. Helicopters not specifically built for flight in a thin atmosphere SUCK at high altitudes.

Man Korn is really mad about not being able to practice flying.

[El Lobo]

I'm a decent pilot now, took a lot of practice. Lot of crashing.
