    Transforming MEC/PLA Choppers into deadly weapons

    It's a trick, also know as "Death from Above", "Transforming transport choppers into Attack choppers", and so on. It consists in use the chopper to drop C4's.

    Since the Blackhawk is the vehicle of choice for fraggers and noobs, usually the Mi-17 will be forgotten and empty. In my opinion the Mi-17 is easier to maneuver than the BH, so this can be an advantage.

    First, you will need a good pilot that can chase an enemy and hover precisely above the target, an engineer to fix the helo, a support guy since you will need a lot of C4's, 2 or 3 Spec Ops and maybe a Medic to prolongue the life expectancy of all passengers. So, ideally the postions:

    1. Pilot - Medic
    2. Support
    3. -
    4. Engineer
    5. Spec Ops
    6. Spec Ops

    The pilot will get a lot of points, for healing, driver kill assists and driver special ability points. Since the "gunner" is almost useless, it may be filled by a support guy that will also get a lot of resupply points. He can also spot targets. An engineer in a backseat will be needed to keep the chopper healthy and flying.

    The Spec ops will be responsible for all the killing; and a seat may be left empty so people can use the helo as spawn point as well. For a best view of the area, everyone should change the camera to a 3rd person view.

    The spec ops should drop the C4's considering the chopper's/enemy's speed and direction fo movement, and blow them when you and your team mates are out of its blast radius (10 mts.)...

    Tips:

    1. For a best performance, everyone in the helo form a squad. It's easier to use the VoIP than type.
    2. Be very careful with your team mates (in the chopper and on the ground) or you may end with a negative score.
    3. Be sure that if you kill your teammates by accident they won't punish you. I mean, better do this with friends.
    4. If you drop a C4 next to a group of friends, just drop some more elsewhere and the "older" C4s will disappear.

    Conclusion: This is a nice tactic, that can effectively take down enemy infantry, vehicles, armor and choppers.



    Have fun

        It's good fun to do and can provide a really good amount of kills. Carpet bombing for the win!

        I sorta recommend the pilot be support. That way you need a minimum of 2 people to get it to work. More reliable.

            To bad theirs not much people that would do that stuff much. Everyone is prob to busy getting artyied while wait for the planes to spawn. Or prob getting the **** blown out of em in tanks.

            Overall thats pretty sick stuff.

              actually this tactic already had a name, its called ghetto bombing.

              i do not condone the use of transport helis for the attack role, the reason is simple, 1.2. helicopters will be really easy to destroy, with my pkm. the BH crew (support, 2X medic, 3X eng) will also not work in 1.2. anyhow, i do think the best ways to use the transport heli are airborne assault, and resupply. with airborne assault, few people actually stay in the helicopter at flags (one eng for halo drop; a medic and eng for assault) where as only three are needed for resupply. (medic, medic, mg) also keep in mind the minigun is being weakened.

              but thats just my perogative, you can load it up and do combat support when 1.2 comes out. just tell me what server so i can come pkm yer asses.

                PKM on an attack chopper? haha good luck with that.

                this is a good strategy and pretty much the only one you can use on Mastuur to fight the blackhawk (other than ramming which can get you banned). pass over the enemy BH and hope that the C4 sticks :) the pilot and the resupply guy will get insane amount of points, but the c4 guys will have the most fun... 2 spec ops in the back will pretty much mean a constant shower of c4.

                  You won't be laughing when I take you down with MY PKM. I've done it several times already without the nerfed choppers

                    PKM isn't effective enough by itself to take out decent helo pilots. With a nother 50 cal working on them or an sraw/eyrx hit or two it isn't a problem then. But the PKM just isn't accurate/powerful enough to consistently take them out of the air.

                      exactly, especially attack helicopters because they dont have eng in back.

                        good point, thats why i try to make a pkm squad, 2-3 pkms will get the job done. well actually it depends, if they have no eng in back, 1 pkm is quite enough.

                        but after the patch this will be intensified with more accurate mgs and weaker bh's and miniguns. go ahead, load that sucker up and try to do combat support!

                          What happens if one of the thrown C4 packs attatches to the back of the helo? Or can that not happen?

                            I have been in a BH when it happened. Everyone inside was blown up.

                              You also get stray explosions when someone throws his last pack of C4 and accidentally triggers the detonator. I wish they'd just had 2nd fire detonate the charges instead of this ridiculous switch to detonator business...
