The Better Blackhawk

[GeZe]

I know this seems obvios but I rarly see people do it...

Along with the standard Blackhawk configuration of:
Pilot: Medic
Gunner 1: Support
Gunner 2: Medic
Sitting 1: Engineer

Add:
Sitting 2: Antitank
Sitting 3: Antitank

You then have a blackwak out fitted with unlimited missles. (constantly being resupplied by the support) Now that would be the ultimate killing machine.

sounds good, but I'm not sure that one engy can repair fast enough..

[Donkey]

IMHO-

Pilot-Medic/SL
and the rest should be 2 Engineers, 1 Supply, and 1 AT
this way you leave a seat open for your guys to move around and to do quick evacs of teamates under heavy fire or stuck out in the middle of nowhere.....and with 5 people you are going to cap flags pretty quick......

That would be interesting. Could have an empty space for them to alternate positions if they need.

Just a side note. Does the Navy use Blackhawks? I thought they had Seahawks that were pretty much the same thing.

[FaultySanity]

IMO - The best BH is 3 engineers and 3 medics.

Not bad but I still think an AT and a re-supply would be crucial to take out any armor.....

the BH needs more seats....lol

Yes the Navy does use SeaHawks but im pretty sure that due to their size they also use Blackhawks for the Marines since SeaHawks are HUGE.....

Also, the antitank will be able to lock on and shoot at attacking jets. While it probebly won't hit them it will sure scare them off.

In considering all of the possible configurations of player positions for the blackhawks, one must consider if all positions are going to be filled by willing players. Most of the time, only two or three players will jump in a blackhawk, for probably the same reason that I am reluctant to jump in one if there is no gunner seat available-players in the doors make easy pickings for snipers and other ground machine guns. I can't tell you how many times I've been sitting in the side door of a chopper as it goes from one flag to another and then, SLUG, Time To Respawn 15...14....taken out by a ground unit. I feel as though the doors should provide more protection to the passengers inside blackhawks. As long as the game isn't rendering the animations of each player climbing into the helicopter realistically, why not add more metal plating to the sides to block the open fuselage? The configurations also depend on how good the side gunners are in colaboration with the pilot's flying. An anti-tank player sitting in one of the side compartments of a blackhawk is going to have a really bad day on a low hover if the gunner and pilot aren't aware of ground hostiles on his or her side, therefore deterring future endeavors as an anti-tank player in the same position in future missions.

they should put rockets or tow missles on the blackhawks.

Take an already formidable beast and make it more powerfull, I like
Though you still need to make make the other trans port helo's more power full. The only thing they are good for is ramming the BH, crude but effective agianst the BH.
1 Medic (Pilot)
2 Supply (Gunners)
3 Engineers
Try this out hover over bridge or road the enemy may use, have your engineers place a bunch mines. If you need it reopened later hover over it agian mines will automaticly disappear in a few seconds.

I 've recently made a 205 pts games w/ blackhawk.

I agree for

Pilot: Medic
Gunner 1: Support

But I ll say :

Gunner 2: Supply (Engeneer needs mines)
Sit 1 : Engeneer
Sit 2 : Engeneer
Sit 3 : I use to prefer to let it free because sometimes engeneer need to change of place to repare well. Morever 5 is enough to take fastly a flag. If you want to be 6 in I ll say an anti tank to get rid of tanks.

[BigBadBob]

have you tried firing an anti-tank missle from a BlackHawk? It's damn hard. The only way to get a successful hit, is if the pilot hovers still.

But a good pilot will never hover like that, makes it even easier to take it out.

Wrong in my opinion.

PS why have support? mines disappear after 1 minute if you have more than 5 out so. and like its gonna kil enemy's?
You know its a teamkilling machine those mines, soon the 2 engineers will be banned and we have "Black Hawk down..."

Pilot = Medic
Gunners = Medic
Rest = Engineer

This way nothing but a direct hit from eryx can get the black hack down if the ppl die throug the direct hit.

[Forest]

The usmc transport helicopter says navy on it so I'm assuming that its actually a Seahawk.

edit: oh no

[TGL|Badlizzard]

If you want to know the best configuration....

It's not AT, almost impossible to hit anything from a flying BH, no matter how stable it is.
Engineer in the back, and spec ops, BH pilot flys over enemy armor, spec ops and Engineer drop mines and C4. Pilot and gunners can be any order of Support and medic, and maybe make other gunner engineer, so that when your guys get shot out of the back he can change seats and carry on the wrenching until reg. engineer returns.
