Back in the demo I landed the MEC chopper in the carrier launch bay, as there is a shelf just under the water level it actually sat in the water because the wheels were touching the floor.

The skis on the US chopper were too low and damage started to occur, landing on the ledge at the back is the only option.

chooper in the ppol sheer luck you missed the landing spot and dropped out the chopper

I managed to land the chopper on a 1in3 cliff. capture the flag and take off a again. The tank was a bit confused i think.

This one was caused by flying whilst drunk.

And this took ages to set up.

First, do it and realise you have no way of getting a good picture, kill yourself to spawn back at carrier to pick up a blackhawk, get blackhawk to chimney only to find that heli has exploded as an abandoned vehicle.

Then, steal enemy helicopter, land at bottom on chimney, kill yourself and spawn back at carrier for gunship, fly back to chimney and smoking enemy chopper, land chopper and get in enemy one to stop it exploding, use the helipad closest to repair it and fly back, get in US chopper and do the business on the chimney, get out of chopper and jump off to enemy chopper and take off to snap some photos before the US chopper explodes again as an abandoned vehicle.

Easy really. :whistle:

Yeah, but when you do that the rotors are still running and its not a propper landing, to actually make the thing balance and stay there after you get out is the hard part.

Thats what I did in this picture and it looks like I'm just hovering there, the chimneys are larger and not hollow at the top of these so its easy to land on them.

So I got out and did this one to prove it stayed there and this one because of the lovely view!

I have another one lined up to do, but it's been too hard so far and I'm not even sure if it is possible.

Watch this space!

Why not swap to the other seat and then do a front/back view? The blades should stop then.

The reason I didn't do that is because.... we'll you see.... it was mainly .....

Oh, shut up.

I hate you all.

Uhm... another stupid q, though this time it's BF2 related and not a matter if linguistics

What key do you press to swap seats in the chopper, etc? When the pilot leaves a dying chopper I wouldn't mind taking over some times - and also be able to use a gun in a jeep as a stationary weapon.

F1 - F6 are the crew positions in the vehicles.
F1 is usually the driver/pilot.
F2 is the MG turret in the jeeps.
