BF2 Style Cobra

[kevb0 0]

Hey guys. One of the things that bugged me with the default BIS AH-1 Cobras, was that the gunner had control of the FFARs, and the pilot didn't. Many a time playing coop, my pilot couldn't put me in the perfect position to lay waste to an entire SLA Patrol.

This addon fixes that. The Pilot now has the ability to fire the FFARs, while the gunner still has control of the M197 and Hellfires.

There's one small problem. If you fly the chopper by yourself, all you will be able to fire is the FFARs, not the M197 and/or Hellfires. Even with manual fire, the pilot cannot fire the chaingun or Hellfires.

The classname of the vehicle is "BF2stylecobra" for your scripting needs.

Editor's Note

This addon does not change anything else about the Default BIS cobra, other than the fact that the pilot has control over the FFARs. The flight characteristics, damage model, and everything else is exactly the same as the BIS Cobra.

This is not closer to BF2 in any way, shape, or form, aside from giving the pilot control over the FFARs.

This could very well be the worst idea I have ever read. You should put your efforts towards party buses.

That said, I want it.

Anyways, interesting variation.

I thought you could turn manual fire on?

Or is that just single player?

You can still turn on manual fire, but you can't fire the Chaingun or Hellfires.

It's sort of like how you can turn on manual fire in the Blackhawk, but only fire the left Minigun.

This is an awesome idea! I think that's how it works in actual combat helicopters, for the most part. I think the pilot has control over the fixed armament.

use maunal then hit "f" key to select the weapon you need

works for me online and single

the problem is that if u got human gunner and pilot, only the gunner can fire ffar's.

is there any way you could make it that you could press a key to get rid of the cockpit so that you can have a view like in bf2 as well.

It always annoys me that the cockpit is in the way. OK i know its not realistic but....

Thanks for the mirror, but on the link it says the pilot has control over all weapons. That is incorrect. The pilot only controls the FFARs, while the gunner controls the Chaingun and Hellfires.

As a Cobra pilot in real life, Special Forces Division British Police, I can say that this is the best thing I've ever seen on a computer machine ever.

Well done Kevbo.

Cool, I fly F-117s for the British Transport Police! Always good to meet a fellow real life combat pilot

Useful fix Kevb0!

I'm a Pirate/Ninja with Star Fleet, and we use them too. Chuck Norris is slightly amused, and therefore will tolerate this addon.

Jinef is amused, well done.

Nice idea, however did you have to call it 'BF2 Cobra' as opposed to 'Realistic Cobra'. In real life the pilot does indeed control the FFAR release and the gunner guided missiles and chaingun. The pilot can also control the gun but only in the stowed central position as far as I know.

[kevb0 0]

Yeah, Yeah. I know.

I thought about it long and hard, I wasn't sure if it was realistic or not, and I didn't want to give it a stupid generic ego-inflating name, so I stuck with something simple, and mostly everyone will know what it includes.
