Just finished the second co-op mission, and after about 4 or 5 times of crashing into the mountain, I finally was able to somewhat get the hang of it, and at the end of the mission, I was actually able to get some decent strafing runs. Tons of fun.
For you helicopter pros, which view do you prefer? At first, I tried out 3rd person thinking it was easier to know exactly where I was. But towards the end, I was able to maneuver better in first person.

I'm on PC, by the way, and we just ran into a glitch on the Exfiltration mission. We are being told to man the gunner seat in the hummers, but no dice. I read a few places where you have to be at a certain spot at a certain angle in order to get it to activate, but so far nothing.
Anyone else figure out what to do, other than restart?
ETA And why doesn't this game believe in checkpoints?

A good heli pilot goes in and out of 3rd & 1st person.

You will get destroyed on PC if you try to fly the helicopters. I prefer first person, there really isn't a reason to go third person unless you are in a jet.

Disclaimer: I am not a pro.
I mainly use first person. I have a much better feel of the handling. While I'm sure third person has its benefits, I can't think of them.

I just recently became pretty good with the helicopter (xbox 360). I use third person to maneuver and turn around and first if to shoot and if I'm just flying forward backward.

I fly in 1st person. I love the Helicopters. The only thing that blows is a jet can run into and blow you up but now damage to the jet. It's best to stay low away from them. If you got a good gunner with you, you can dominate the tanks and ground vehicles. I'm on Service level 5 at the moment for the choppers.
