It was actually really fun, it doesn't have the same maneuverability as the choppers since it doesn't really yaw, and it flies like a boat. I'd generally drop our squad off in a safe zone and then fly up and observe and call out enemy positions. One was real funny it went like this:
Me over comms nearly verbatim:
"There's a vehicle, it's moving down the runway to the... I guess south end? The opposite end from you. He's next to those Hangars with the Chinooks. It looks kind of like a technical maybe, I'm not sure at this altitude its hard to tell"
[long pause]
"He's stopped by the small building by the hangars and he's gotten out... He's going around the back... maybe getting a rifle from the gear ...
[at this point I think he's spotted my teammates on the ground and is switching gear in order to snipe at them]
"Wait... he's getting on the back? - oh shit, ya, ya that's a gun on the back - he's on the... oh shit he's shooting at ME"
[As tracers fly by me, some rounds impact the hull. I up the flaps, the gear, and drop altitude in order to gain speed as quickly as possible to transform the Osprey-22 into plane mode. I get away, but the Osprey-22 smokes from the engines for the rest of the time we have it. Needless to say I observed from a higher altitude and with much more caution after that]
