DODGING AND BAILING OUT

While your flying in you helicopter chances are someone somewhere will want to shoot you down, avoiding this can be tricky. If someone locks onto you a red warning symbol will pop
up and blare out a loud noise, this is very usefull! The easiest way to dodge a shot from a missle is to turn very sharply and drive down towards the ground, allthough tricky this can help you stay flying... Sometimes however this doesnt work and you might get shot down. Most of the time 2-3 direct hits are required to blow up a helicopter but only about 2 to take it
down to LOW health. Once you have been hit twice you will probly get hit again so its time to bail out! Press the enter/exit key on your keyboard and you will jump out of your air- craft, press your #9 key a couple of times until the parachute icon pops up. Avoiding water and other things is easy, just use the strafe keys (a and d) to move right and left!
