That's something I've seeen recently too. Engie piloted choppers hovering low over assets and even appear after a hard fought CP capture to repair damaged vehicles. It's a groovy tactic, I just don't think I'm a good enough pilot to hover on a tank. I don't know how you guys do some of the stunts I see pilots pulling. \

But yeah as a spec op I pray that a commander drops a supply crate on the asset I just hit. Without it I have a tough time resupplying as COs usually have a better use for supply crates. The lone spec op can be wiped out so quickly in the UCB that he can die before the supplies reach him and if he survives it's a whole crate for just a few C4s.

That being said however. The alternative is the CO engie repair on most maps since friendly engies aren't usually loitering at the UCB. And the CO is the juiciest asset any spec op can hope for so the ambush is usually set for that CO engie.

So word to the wise CO, the best way to lure the spec op out of the concealed ambush position is to doubly motivate him with a supply crate on the asset he just destroyed. Not only does he want to the extra C4, but he can't bear to see his freshly smoking asset repaired. That's when you siddle up and get down to some serious back shotgunning. The knife even. You know it's personal once he's in your UCB making you sightless.

As yet I haven't figured out as a spec op how to counter this last tactic of the supply crate lure. Can't wait it out or the CO doesn't even need to emerge and the asset is reapired. One option is to leave the last odd C4(that is ineffectual on its own against assets) on the wreckage to blow the crate or CO engie.

But that leaves you empty of C4 and needing a friendly crate drop. And those crates floating down point right to your location for the enemy UCB garrison. ALso, maybe someone can confirmt his, but with the patch do opposing crates show up with the crate icon on the minimap. That'd be even worse.

My advice if you're a CO with destroyed assets. Go Engie, hop in an APC and park nearby. Unfortunately this keeps you out of CO view if you don't want that spec op to C4 your vehicle. But hopefully by that point he's used 4 of his packs on your scanner and UAV so he can't quite do ya in with what he has left.

I hate to blab about all my favorite cloak and dagger dirty tricks but hopefully the lack of a
