Kicked Whilst in Chopper = No Chopper?

[M8EO 16]

Hey guys,

So i was flying my chopper happily yesterday, just about to land, about 100ft off the ground or so, and then BAM: "You were kicked: Ping too high (400)".

As you could imagine, i was concerned about losing my chopper, thinking it would just plummet down to ground without a pilot and explode, so i quickly rejoined. When i connected, i was standing on the ground where i had been kicked, and my chopper was nowhere to be seen - not in the air, and no crash sites anywhere in the area.

I was just wondering whether my sweet baby has been taken by the server or whether it might turn up at the last place i saved it, on the server restart.

All help is welcome! :D

Thanks.

That's why you shouldn't download porno's while playing. Anyway, if your lucky the heli could be in the last place you saved it. Did you retrace your steps?

similar thing happened to me but the server went down. i spawned in the water and my chopper was gone. turns out it was at my base where it was last saved (thankfully) maybe check where it was saved last

Lol yes next time i will save my needs until i'm NOT gaming.

I tried retracing my steps with a quad bike but got sniped on the way and lost everything else lol. Pretty bad day if im honest! Logged in, found alllll my tents crushed and a couple of my vehicles gone (only had 2 left out of like 5 xD), thankfully found my chopper wasnt stolen, so i move it, get kicked, and lose that, then (cherry on the cake) i get killed on the way back to the chopper and lose all my gps, nvg, as50, m4 cco sd and other crap like that lol xDDD

Anyway, thanks alot for the replies - i will make my way back there tomorrow :D
