BF2S Forums Inaccuracy with the paddles.

can i get some answers?

yep, prone isn't needed, I have gotten good at the running zap, I just run across a fallen comrade and zap them when I pass over and they get up and I keep going.
  You can't rev someone on the side of a hill usually, or on a stairwell or in a vehicle either

You can revive someone standing up too.  If you're directly over their torso, the paddles work.

You usually can't revive someone who has the spawn screen up. I used to automatically hit <enter> to bring up the spawn screen when I was killed, and then I found it usually prevents being revived. If you get killed and don't have a valid spawn point already selected, the spawn screen comes up when the revive timer ends. Note also that you can't revive someone killed by arty directly (indirect splash damage can be revived), so the spawn screen pops up immediately if no valid point is selected.

You CAN revive someone on stairs, I do that all the time. Standing works too.

I'm going to have to try that, I get killed too often trying to revive someone. Thanks a lot for the tip!
