I was flying the new helicopter, the Tiger I think it's called, and when I was taking of or coming in for a landing it would sometimes flip and crash. Anyone else have this problem, is it that I am using a keyboard and not a joystick.

No.  Its not you.  EA screwed up the handling of it, especially when near the ground.

The Tiger also has a bad habit of nosing down into the ground.  

Nose down too much, you'll be hard pressed to pull out of the dive.

I had the rollover problem happen last night, good thing I was at ~100m and managed to eject and open my chute.  Too bad I was in the middle of the map, no where near a vehicle, so I offed myself rather than walk since we were waiting for more people to join.

The eurotrash fighter in the game sucks balls.

Plus it's got a fat belly of a pregnant bitch, coming in for a landing or trying to clear objects I sometimes smack the belly of the jet all over the ground when other jets I clear perfectly fine.


The new helicopter isn't too terrible, I just have to remember to pull up much sooner when angling down for an attack run.
