You could get a two-seater jet, fly vertical in the middle of the map.

Someone spawns on the squadleader in the jet, squadleader jumps out, passenger takes the wheel, becomes squadleader, squadmember spawns on him, squadleader jumps out.

Repeat as neccessary!

Yea, flying a BH as high as you can and having five squad member in it would work. Actually, that's not even as much of an exploit as the original idea.

It is an awsome idea but wont work 9 outa 10 times due to not enough people agreeing to do it. Maybe as a clan thing!

thats one thing i hate about games. unless u have freinds playing with u, u almost never get ppl to coordinate useful tactics like those

I was just about to point that out. In 1.22 testing, we took a jet up to about 27k feet (yes, it's possible), and tried different free-falling techniques. One thing we learnt is that we always needed a squad leader in the plane, as you can't squad on people who are falling. At least, not free-falling.

27k feet? Are you sure it wasn't 2.7? I was trying that today, and the highest I could get was 3.4k... with a Bomber. I lost balance and jet went out of control. How do you do that?

try keeping the speed around 3-400 kts, then you dont lose control and can go up endlessly

yep, my clan mate is very good at getting the bomber up to ridiculous heights

we made a video where he went to 100,000 feet and we all spawned and did some formation free-falling very cool, took him 40mins to get up to that height and we were falling for about 30mins :laugh:

go on then show us the video!!!

I doubt a little that he went up to 100k feet... Most I went up to was 6k. It's painfully slow, too.

Re: the "20000feet-squad-hopping-altitude-thing"

100k and even beyond that is possible. Just did it last night on wake with the j10. It takes some time but there is a balance with the j10 where once you find it. its a matter of just holding down the accelerator and waiting. Timed it out to be around 14K per minute so you can do the math. I wound up going up to aabout 150k and figured it was just never ending.

i think that you can spawn on the leader mid air. as long as he doesnt parachute so you all free fall and then at the bottem you parachute.

Re: the "20000feet-squad-hopping-altitude-thing"

idk
that kind of cordination would be tough to pull and everyone would have to experinced to make squads real quick like
