UK military seeks gamers to fly attack helicopters!
by: A_Spec

Yes, it’s true. Military commanders in the United Kingdom are looking for you to fly their most potent and advanced helicopters. It seems that youngsters from the so called “X-Box generation” have all the basic enhanced reflexes required to fly one of these 10 ton behemoths.


A senior army air corps officer reported:

"The skill in flying the aircraft is to absorb large amounts of information from different sources without becoming flustered. The new generation of computer-game playing youngsters glued to their PlayStations, Xboxes and Game Boys already have some of those skills."

So if you want to join what already has been dubbed the “L33T” squadron and think you could fly €65 million aircraft, then go and visit your local army careers office.

Oh, just one thing. Your job is to dodge ground to air missiles trying to 'pwn' tanks. Like in BattleField 2, but with better graphics and no respawn points. Camping is also allowed.

Nah they dont give any training. They just give you the keys and missles on day 1, and say "Get to bloody work sonny".

ClanBase crew will of course be on hand to ban players using cheats.

We will also impose hard punishment and bans for foul language!

No customization and skins are allowed!

use of auto targeting is!

Good luck and have a nice day!

Your job is to dodge ground to air missiles trying to 'pwn' tanks. Like in BattleField 2, but with better graphics and no respawn points. Camping is also allowed.
