Seeing as this map is basically an armour map, what's everyones opinion about using the transport helo as an effective anti-armour weapon? What my squad was doing last night was using the helo to hunt out enemy armour then getting overhead to drop mines to try & take out the tank/apc etc.
Upon searching bf2 forums on the net I see this tactic is used alot on this map, but last night we got accused of stat padding
partly because the pilot who is support class, can end up with quite a high teamscore by the end of the round for re-supplying the engineers.
Points I couldn't care about, to be honest it's funny as hell to get mine kills by dropping them from the helo & for the first time since bf2 was released I had loads of fun playing it. No doubt the 2 players who were complaining on the server last night were ones we took out with mines!
Even with a couple of engineers the helo isn't indestructable, we got shot down quite a few times & inbetween dropping mines on enemy armour we were capping flags as well.
So question is, what do other people think about this tactic & should we stop because a few might not like it. I've also read the rules of conduct sticky & really haven't made up my mind whether the dropping mines from a helo is something you shouldn't do or not.
