    How to pwn with transport chopper

    Ive been doing this alot lately on mashtuur,wake and oman.

    simply get in a transport chopper start a squad and advertise for your squad by typing things like.

    ILL FLY CHOPPER WHOLE GAME JOIN MY SQUAD FOR FREE SPAWN IN SKY.

    fly your squad to a base have them bail out and hover at an alt of about 100.
    if there are lots of vehicle and anti tank fire then make it 200.
    they will spawn on you and bail creating an unlimited atatck force, once the flag is yours land and pick them up and repat this.

    You should spawn as a ammo guy or a medic so when you pick them up you will get healing or ammo giving point. I usually spawn as ammo guy because my squad mates tend to use more ammo then they take damage. also if you see them in a gun on the side and not bailing out, rather than screaming at them just look for targets and give them a shot.

    location s what its all about dont drop your guys into the enemies last flag when 32 enemy troops are spawning, if most of the player on your team are say atatcking from a flag to the east them why dont you land a liitle bit west of the enemy flag so they will have them from 2 directions and by landing you guarntee they all get in the same spot.
    beware when you have a chopper full fo your 6 man squad, once they capture a flag dont hesitate to tell them to spread out, remeber in the intro of bf2 how they called arty when the outpost was overrun....commanders do that alot especially when they see 5 guys crammed in one spot.

    also speaking on locaion, on mashtuur when heading to the mosque in like to drop my guys on top of the mosque its elf, it allows them a high ground advantage until they see fit to jump down and take the flag.

    your squad will take alot of flags this way. 90% of the time there isnt anyway for the defenders to hold back 5 guys that came from the sky together and all at once and often enough the anti tanks on the ground are using their smg or shottie to defend them selves or if they do try to shoot you down they are killed because they arent pay attention to your squadmaes as they rip them apart.

    if you are shot at and about to explode then dont bother bailing out just respawn and get back in the chopper, unless the have taken your chopper base then bail, get your squad together and attack.

    2 days ago my chopper was shot down while i was going to north base becuase it had been captured while i shuttled my squad around.
    we all bailed but the chopepr exploded and killed 2 of my squad mates in mid air the enemy responded and kept spawning at north base and atatcking us as we fought up the mountain, they where smart because instead of holding up at the base they came to fight us on our way up.
    about 15 minuted of trying to fight up that hill im guessing they had 8 guy defending.
    i called quite a few supply drops. vehicle drops where useful to turn the tide but they would anti tank every one we got.
    we took the base back eventually, but i was critically wounded about 7 times on the way up and i spent most of the fight a little behind my squad so they could respawn.

    anyway...thats how to pwn with transport.

      Re: How to pwn with transport chopper

      good job explaining. i do the same thing, but playing on a map such as Dragon Valley, i had a full squad and they were all spawning on me while i was in transport chopper. we went to go attack the airfield. as im sure you know, there are anti-aircraft vehicles and planes. so, i hovered at a steady 500 feet. I prefer 500 feet because A.) planes dont generally fly that high, so they wouldnt see you; and B.) the AA vehicles cant even see you at 500 feet. infact, you can not be seen from the ground. so 500 feet is actually the safest and most stealthy, because then the enemy is wondering how there are guys just falling from the sky, because they have no clue that there is a chopper up in the sky, cause they cant see it. hope maybe this helps you to not get shot down. :-) works great for me

          Re: How to pwn with transport chopper

          yeah pretty much i usually win the rounds when i do that because its like being able to pt 5 guy anywhere to take a flag at anytime, kinda like our special forces and army rangers and seals n stuff they can go anywhere in the world to hit anythign at anytime.

          so pretty much its just a matter of taking one flag then the next with pretty much no opposition bcause they probablyu dont have 5 guy at a flag camping there to defend it or if there are 5 guys there chances are they are unorganized and dont move together in a squad when you see someone you immidiately tell your squad so everyone knows...communication is just as good a weapon.

          also flying the chopper makes you kind of a squad tool and speaking of squad tools when you get good at the jet in terms of bombing tell your squad that if they need an airstrike on anything for any reason you will respond, if its a vehicle they can spot it if its like they want you to bomb an area they cant fully see yet but are pretty sure someone is there the squad leader can just mark the location with an atatck order or a move order.

          same with the attack ive played a match on sharqi where i had a squad memeber in the chopper(his gunner wasnt in our squad but that didnt mater) i had him follow our squad around and we pretty much had no problems wth armor beacuse of tv guided and no problem with rooftop snipers because the gunne rwould mow em down. and sometimes he would come in on a run over a flag and let loose all 8 rockets so they would form a line of destruction kinda like our personal artilery.

            If this is all new to you, don't forget that an engineer in a cargo seat of your chopper (i.e. not pilot, and not gunner), can repair the chopper in flight. You can fly forever with this loadout. Two engineers can repair you faster than most jets can shoot you, so have them follow this procedure:

            1. Fly in towards your target, scout pass once, and move in to take flag
            2. Lay mines (support pilots will automatically resupply them once on board)
            3. Load up and have engineers repair real time as you fly to the next flag
            4. Lather, rinse, repeat.

            And don't plunk the beast down right on top of the flag, land or hover off to the side so a single gunner can spot and give cover fire.

            Also, don't forget your gunners feild of view is limited. If you are giving air support, tilt(roll) the bird to the side of the appropriate gunner a little and maintain a nice wide circle around the target flag so he/she can lay into them. The guns won't generate a ton of kills, but it will force the enemy to seek cover and slow the advance. AA troops can fire from the chopper too, but need a steady pilot who can avoid the turret long enough to get the job done.

                oh the BH in the pre-nerf days were just wonderful for the usmc

                and i hate how ppl fly teh transport helis like at extreme altitudes so its like impossible to shoot htem down cuz u cant spot it from the ground and ud just see enemy soldiers just falling from the sky non stop

                  that tactic works, but:

                  1) as the Pilot/SL you get very little points per round for all the work you do.
                  2) its now against bfroe to do that:

                  section 2.3.2 (e) Using transport helicopters to quickly capture all flags with no attempt to engage the other team (flag hopping).

                  have a nice day. :p

                      ya, they added it in some time ago. I really wouldn't worry about it though, they have better things to worry about than that. :p

                        speaking of anti tank kit..i cant tell you how many times and anti tank rocket slammed the pilot seat of the choper and killed me but not the chopper itself its like, i love it when i do that though its easier than using the .50 cal.

                        sometimes the chopper will take fire and one of the bullets(or sometimes ANOTHER anti tank rocket) will hit you and your body will fall out of the chopper and everyone else just lives, once again i love doing it though.

                        im gonna have to find a free game recorder that records 4ever so i can record this because one time i was gunner and then i looked to my left and saw the guy in cargo seat get shot and fall out.

                            once you take a flag do you let every1 die and spawn on you before you attempt another base? or do you go low and pick your squad up?

                            My problem was that a chopper is very defenceless when low with noone repairing and would consistently die from transport cars without repairs.

                              wut i do is i fly at 500 feet, like i said before. then when the flag is captured, i go down and pick up my squad. then i go back up to 500 feet and cap another flag. works for me.
