First off, these things are amazing. I can't give enough praise about them. I've had six rounds now with over 40 kills and zero deaths in the things. Absolutely incredible and SO much fun to fly.
Anyway, this thread isn't about praising the amazingly awesome helicopters.
Today I joined a server playing Harvest and as soon as I joined I was immediately auto-switched to the other team. Funny thing is, I could still see the enemy scout helicopter's UAV. I always knew where the helicopter was and what direction it was facing, PLUS any enemies within the UAV radius. It was odd because it would highlight enemies as if it was a UAV on my own team. No one else on my team could see it, but it lasted the entire round for me. Even after the chopper crashed, it started up again on respawn.
So apparently if you're auto-switched immediately at the start of the round, you can use the enemy scout chopper to your advantage...
