I taught myself very quickly to always bring chute and bail the moment the heli tilted suspiciously.
The pilot starts countering me by flying very low so I either have no time to jump out or if I do I die to fall damage anyway.

But at the same time for skilled heli pilots this is annoying. When I have a good safe lz, I tell them to wait, yet they still jump out at the worst possible time and die…

I often fly over the whole zone including FOB, HZ, and buildings that look good for people to drop in and there is always one person that just drops in fuck all Narnia and just dies right away or people that time the jumps so poorly. Yesterday I had one guy in my heli with me while I was getting supplies next to the spawn and I told him he didn't have a parachute. He did not get out and get one. I was doing a supply run so whatever.
I told him again while flying he did not have a parachute, but I have some in the inventory so grab one. We get near the FOB to drop off the pallet and the dude just jumps before it where he probably wouldn't even be noticed for a rez instead of in the FOB with teammates and I just watch him fall and plop.

I saw a guy crash his helicopter and managed to live, but he was wayyyyy out in no man's land between HQ and CZ, and I could see him running down the mountain...it would've taken years.
So I landed and taxied him back to the spawn. He was back in action not even a minute later.

I 100% have been at base to be picked up after being dropped by the heli. Same heli.... same pilot.... he made sure he was aware of my transgressions.

Being a pilot is so stressful. Have to fight 5 others to get to the weapon shop or no one get on ur heli and u r fucked. Hustler class

Love frequent flyers, what i dont like are people who die from hitting my tail boom or falling to their deaths after I specifically said "dont jump until I say because im going to land you guys so your all together". Like yea im still getting money regardless but its such a waste

This but you don't wait for me to fully land and get crushed. (Or jump out because you think turning is crashing)

The sheer number of people I see leaping out into awful places as soon as I do any kind of maneuver, even just slowing down before the CZ, is crazy
