    New Sniper Trick - Save your life

    Tried this out the other night and it worked everytime (15/15). For all of you snipers out there that have been getting crushed by the new commander's ability to drop vehicles on your head, here is a way to get back at them.

    While you are prone and taking shots just keep the E key held down. It does not interfer with your aiming or shooting. It is tricky if you have to get up and run, but most of the time a commander will not try and drop a vehicle on you if you are moving around alot.

    As soon as the commander drops the vehicle on you, you automatically enter the vehicle and receive ZERO damage, as long as you continue to hold down that E key. You can then exit the vehicle, and move or retake your postition to start firing again.

    Let me tell you I really ****ed that commander off last night, he must have tried at least 20 times to squash me, he missed about 5 times and then I entered and then exited the other 15 vehicles he dropped on me unharmed.

    This was on flat land so there was no chance of the vehicle flipping and exploding on me. This technique is not good if you are on building tops, unless totally flat, or moutain areas with a lot of slopes, because if the commander explodes the vehicle you are toast weither you are standing next to it or you enter into it.

    Just a tip I thought I would pass on!

        Sorry I forgot to put in that this also works while crouching and standing, as long as you keep that E key down. I perfer to be prone since the accuracy is better, that is why I automatically typed that in the above post.

        Good Luck snipin!!

            No problem Sir Jaxx!!

            I usually use this tactic while waiting for Armor or an APC to respawn, then you automatically enter it when the vehicle spawns, so I figured I would try it while sniping! IT REALLY DOES WORK

                    Excellent. I would have never thought of that The first time I came across that, the comander missed, but after that, he hit, so I just had to remain moving around to confuse him. But if he is watching me, then how can he comand Seems snipers are more than just far distance killers hiding on roof tops nad grassy areas, but a distraction for the comander.

                    As a comander, I just spot the sniper and let my team take hime out, duh. My team my need that vehicle and I just squased one sniper with it, now what?

                      Just remember to move along in case the vehicle goes boom.

                      Also, sometimes it is quite useful to get a machine gun on top of a building. Blazed Hotel for a while - had so much fun that I died eventually - but the K/D ratio made it all worthwhile.

                            Just keep an eye out for the top of your screen, I normally see the parachute symbol with the distance marker on it, if its less than 10m slide to one side, hop in, drive it to one side or use it to get somewhere you normally can't :p
