Re: Air Drop Vehicles to distroy art

Yeah dropping vehicles is an awesome addition to the game. I've never been smashed by a dropped vehicle but I've been smashed by a supply crate.

i usually drop cars on snipers.
I seen a vid, I think it was here somewhere, where a vehicle was dropped on arty, and the arty was destroyed in about 5 secs.

It's not really new, most of us have known about since 15 minutes after the patch came out. :hmm:

Re: Air Drop Vehicles to distroy art

Hmm never knew this… but it makes sense because when any two objects come in contact with each other in this game, they either create a nuclear explosion of some sort or land on top of you or some crazy laggy motion thing where it shoots across your screen then lands on you. Go EA! ^.^ The whole "collision" aspect of things is messed up.

I drop em on enemy transports that are camping a flag so they cant capture it.

Keeps the opposing Commander busy repairing them. Unless you can find him, try kill off the UAV first, then arty 30secs later

I like it when the other side commander drops the jeep on the artillery I repair it and gain another point and before you know it my expert badge. In saying this I guess E&A did not test the vehicle drop on artillery and jets which I guess just may prove the lack of attention to detail.

Not funny but twice I had a jeep dropped on me when snipping by the other commander :laugh:

Re: Air Drop Vehicles to distroy art

LOL, ya today I requested a vehicle drop, a minute later, the commander dropped it on my head! So much for our great spawn point!

Re: Air Drop Vehicles to distroy art

I ask for a vehicle drop, the commander approves it... he comes running out and get's squashed by the vehicle as it comes down... I back the jeep up, revive him and call him a noob over the comm's (He couldn't deny it could he?)

Re: Air Drop Vehicles to distroy art

here's a post that I had written in another forum regarding this. This is for vanilla BF2. I did not use any SF examples.

I have found some other ways that a droppable vehicle can be used (other than transport).

1. Droppable vehicle as a weapon. Here are examples of what you can potentially achieve by dropping vehicles on assets, aircrafts, and presonnel:

Artillery = 1 or 2 FAVs/vodniks per artillery placement would destroy it.

F-35 = 1 FAV dropped as the jet is on its vertical take-off manuever

HH-60H Seahawk = 1 FAV can hinder its take off by a few seconds or destroy it (depending on the health of the aircraft and the point of take off it is on)

AH-1z Super Cobra = 1 FAV can hinder its take off by a few seconds or destroy it (depending on the health of the aircraft and the point of take off it is on)

The key to this tactic is to drop the vehicle while the aircraft is taking off NOT stationary.

2. ALL droppable vehicles are good for killing infantry for the purpose of:

Saving a flag from being capped

Killing a commander

Killing a sniper

Killing troublesome(teamkilling) team members

3. Droppable vehicles can also be used to slow down a fast moving enemy advance by blocking the pathway with a single or multiple vehicles (GAZ 39371 Vodnik Armored Cars are the best for this tactic)

4. Droppable vehicles (as well as suplly crates) are also used as baits for the opposing commander before he/she drops the artillery on the enemy that has congregated on the dropped vehicle/supply crate.

5. Droppable vehicles can also slow down or destroy aircrafts such as the F-15E Strike Eagle, F/A-18 E/F "Super Hornet", Su-34 Flanker, Mig-29 Fulcrum, and the J-10 Fighter Plane when properly dropped on the path of the aircraft taking off

6. Droppable vehicles can potentially destroy a severely damaged attack helicopter hovering on a helipad attempting to get repaired.

7. Droppable vehicles can entertain 'bored' US marines 'stuck' in a US carrier in Wake so that they will have something to do other than to 'mutiny' you or to teamkill.


**As a US commander, you are disadvantaged because of the type of vehicle that you are able to drop (when used as a weapon and NOT as transport), especially in Wake( you don't even get a HMMWV, just a Wessex-Saker - Faav)

MEC commanders can drop the GAZ 39371 Vodnik Armored Cars, Chinese commanders can drop the FAVs which can cause greater damage to assets, aircrafts, and personnel.



since writng this post, I had dropped a FAV onto a fully loaded Blackhawk near it's rotor area and it flipped over killing all the people in it and the poor pilot got credited with 5 teamkills and a suicide
