- Pilot

The Pilot is a special type of infantry used by the United States of America.

Lore[]

The United States army has seen action in countless conflicts all around the globe, in all sorts of terrains, against all sorts of opposition and tactics. An army like this certainly has to be properly equipped and prepared at all times, and for all the good propaganda can do to convince as many civilians as possible to join the military, the idea of fighting in Booby trap infested deserts is not an idea that pleases many. For this reason, the USA military has made sure to give its personnel far better survival chances than the Chinese or Russian armies, with more advanced training and increasingly sophisticated vehicle eject measures: most USA pilots who reach a certain amount of experience with their vehicles will be able to eject from them upon their destruction, giving them a chance to live and fight another day. Once ejected from their vehicles a General may order them to occupy another vehicle, sharing their knowledge with the rest of that vehicle's crew and sometimes making the difference in the heat of a battle. This double edged sword thus not only assures the USA will have far more survivors that may then be reused in other operations than other factions, but also to give an impression of "safety" to the population for what is in reality still a very risky job, as ejected pilots are still very much vulnerable to enemy fire.

  • Prior to 1.86 the Pilot is not amphibious and cannot climb cliffs, so in the event a Pilot ejecting from an aircraft lands in the water or a cliff, they would die.
