BF2S Forums gator hangar bay

If you have a team with a least a few sensible people, a chopper in the hangar bay should NOT be a problem. I don't care if people do it, they are easy kills.

who cares about it anymore?

I remember playing on WH when that first started to be done. Everyone was blown away by it, that the chopper dominated inside, and you'd often see two HIND's in the Hanger Bay, at the front, shooting up to front of the ship.

Even when the Mi-17 started to get taken into the Hanger Bay, it was big news. Until people wised up and planted AT-Mines and C4 on the ramp and got a lovely 6 kills each time

As far as Im concerned, it can be done - so do it. Its not padding, its not glitching, its nothing other than simple tactics and gameplay. Theres no "EA Rules of Engagement" against it...so wtf.
Only thing I dont like, as you say, is that you can cap the Engine Room, and also the Mess Hall if you get that far in with the Apache. Also, the Hangar Bay Fore can be capped from the deck of the ship in a heli. In other words...helis can actually cap every flag on the ship

Which is glitching, so going in the hangar bay killing everything living thing = good, mmmkay? Capping flags is baaaad, mmmkay?

Aye, agreed...I dont dispute that

What Im trying to say is, there is nothing wrong with going in there...but capping the flags is not on. In fact, hiding inside the Gator with the Apache is a great way of stopping the MECSF of taking the Hanger Bay, and then surprising the HIND

Flying the helis in, yes. Fun when the US are pinned down at the Fore. Rocket spam, reload, repeat.

Glitch capping I dont do.

About that I am not sure. All vehicles in BF2 have larger capture radius than foot soldiers, and this was never questioned. So personally I don`t think it`s a glitch. There`s a number of extremley good players on WH server and every vehicle, weapon or piece of equipment are used to the extreme. Some players, usually new comers from the US team suffer a lot, especially from Hello/APC spawnraping, but all attempts to recapture the "viewing deck" or "fly deck" when arabs have an air superiority and having a descent helicrew and good APC driver are doomed. Iron Gator is maybe the best suited BF2 map for defence(no artillery, no jets, few entry points, lots of cover, hard aproach for the offence, etc.). The problem is that BF fans don`t like and don`t want to play in defence.
