Problems getting the heli to work

[Dead...Again]

Dead, I did post that in my original post ... there weren't any heli's up at the time, unless it wasn't even showing up on the mini-map.

Sorry WT missed that the first time.

Well, I guess the issue may be that the enemy had a hei in the air at the same time ??? Duno, but I will (hopefully) get the chance to try this again. I have yet to pilot one, and I'm curious to see what its like.

Unfortunately you don't get to fly it or control it at all. You just get credit for anyone it kills.

Yeah you get credit for the kills.

I noticed this the other night about my heli kills. They don't contribute to my kill streak toward an airstrike or uav unless I am still alive.

ex: I call for heli...Then die... heli kills alot and I'm not dead yet, but no UAV or Airstrike.

Is this supposed to be this way? I'm just wandering b/c I don't want to be jipped out of my Strikes and more heli's.

you don't get credit towards UAV, AS or heli when you are dead AFAIK.

I've noticed these same symptoms too. I have so far chalked my issues up to the one chopper in the air at a time and also kinda the same on the air strikes.

This really sounds like something we need to get our friends at Activision to ensure is fixed by using a que or some method to ensuring a better way of deploying choppers. I don't know if a que method would work very well for a air strike, since probably by the time your que'd air strike came thru the enemy would be moved to a different location, but it is possible that would add to the realizm of the game?!?!
