The Caddilac Maneuver
Hi everyone, this is Jester2000, or more commonly known as TmWrk_Jester2000 on the BF2142 TG Conquest server. I think its only right that I came to the TG site and started contributing, since I enjoy this community so much! My first addition, is, what me and my friends like to call, "Cadillacing."
The idea is simple really, but its tactical value can range from minor, to major.
Firstly, you'll need a full squad and Troop Transport or APC (one squaddie short wont matter that much, but a full squad means the vehicle is constantly manned.)
Next, you need to have your squad as follows:
3x Assault kits [Rocket attachments]
2x Engineers [SAAT/Pilum, 1 /w Motion Mines and EmP Mines, other with a Vehichle Sensor]
1 x Support [EMP grenades, Infantry Sensor]
----------------------
The 3 assaults can keep squad members constantly healed, and the two Engineers can keep the transport alive, teh support can supply ammo to the Engineers and Assaults.
Now this isn't gaurenteed to work all of the time, but if done properly it can be a useful tactic for those bothersome Control Points in maps like Shua Taiba or Suez Canal. The Squad Leaders function can be either the support OR the assault since driving the vehichle allows him to use a healing or resupply attribute to those in his transport. The SAAT engineers will keep the meddlesome gunships from getting to close and the Pilum Engineer can have a field day scaring the tanks and walkers below shots from the heavy caliber gun. if the pilot is steady enough, the Pilum can prove to be a wondrous Air to Surface weapon.
It should be noted that the Engineers should sit where they can actually put their cross hair over a piece of the transport to repair it.Infantry beware.
Tell me where to point the barrel and watch the bodies drop.

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
Welcome to TG. I had a great round with you the other day and was hoping to see you pop up in the forums. Glad you stopped by. As other have noted, what you are referring to we often called the roflcopter or during very late nights the "tranny" squad (don't ask).
Loadouts vary depending on purpose. I like to run with the pilot as support and squad leader. 1 engy with saw and motion mines, another engy with pilum or default rockets, and a spare engy for those important moments when an engy gets killed or is too busy engaging targets to repair. I also usually have 2 infantry that we drop off to cap uncontested flags. Occasionally I will change the infantry over to a asset destruction squad and drop them in the enemy base.

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
The original BF2 Blackhawk minigun was just unbelieveable. You had to barely aim in the direction to make someone dead. Think of it as a Titan Gun firing at the speed fo a Transport gun
They eventually nerfed it down to nothingness tho.
Original BF2 had some fun stuff in that got patched out. Like the Artty in BF2 was pretty much a 1hit kill and at the start the CO got a TK for every dumb guy who ran into it from hsi own team. You were able to fire while jumping which ended in 2 ppl jump circling around each other usually. You also were able to capture flags at the combined speed of every member in a vehicle like APC or Blackhawk which made for some funny Blckhawk Squads.
The big plus on the 2142 Transport guns is the zoom mode which really make and breaks the power of the Transport.

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
Transport guns can do some nice dmg if the person shooting can aim. Unless of course you're in the starboard side gun of the EU transport....... isn't that gun bugged to not do any dmg or something like that?

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
Uranium have you ever shot the transport guns (specifically the EU transport gun)?
the splash damage is devastating, its not the BF2 guns but that is because those were unbalancedReapator, overlord of ponies

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
Why would there be a difference between the EU and PAC transport do you suppose?the EU transport is the one that does the real damage

Re: The Caddilac Maneuver
The Bullets of the EU Transport fly faster. The gun has a higher rate of fire and overheats slower. Additionally the PAC transports engine effects can create a hugh amount of lag.
