I know we often do something like this when it comes to land vehicles. Take their vehicle and then drive it some place and leave it until it finally blows up from inuse. We also go sneakly to their base and steal their choppers and jets... however in one game I saw something I hadn't seen before.

Kubra Dam. Someone snuck over to the MEC base and stole their jet. They then fly over to the second runway on the USMC side and successfully land. They then taxi the plane into the hanger. They are engineer and then they become commander. The entire game as far as I can tell he repaired the MEC jet to keep it there and commanded.

Pretty much denying the use of the jet from the MEC the entire game.

Anyone else see something like this on any map?

Thats a pretty damn good idea, but i'm guessing it was on the version of Kubra where there is only one jet so it wouldn't work if there were one in each hangar. I'd find it incredibly boring to sit and repair but as long as its the commander thats a great idea.

good tactic, but it might get you kicked / banned from some clanservers, who won't allow stealing vehicles from the enemy base.

denying the enemy access to a valuable access is a fair approach, I'd say.

For us amateur pilots who would be useless against the likes of people like [CANADA]_Zenmaster who simply school us from the air while we are on the ground. And since AA is useless against such pilots. Stealing the jets and choppers are just about the only way to even the odds.

At least then its a ground war without any air power.

Seems a sneaky way of getting the better hand, but hehe I do love sneaky

The one thing I don't get is, why repair the thing? He could just as easily occupy it, for as far as I know the degeneration of vehicles only start when they are not used and not illegally parked.

While sitting in the damn thing and commanding he:
- deny the enemy their access (the sneaky bastard )
- is useful for his team as commander
- increases his commander score and such
- increases his time in plane (and thus be quicker to obtain some badges medals)
- increases his kills in a plane while dumping arty on the enemy

(of the record no I don't do this myself, the only way I know to get a plane down is rather fatal for the bird and occupant)

Cheers,

Ps.: and no he wouldn't get repair points because the freakin' thing is empty... like it or not (and that is a whole other discussion), you don't.

LOL! I'm thinking about the poor bastards standing around the MEC hanger waiting for a jet to spawn. And waiting and waiting and waiting.

Someone else, before he left, felt like being an asshole and grabbed both planes on 32 Operation Clean Sweep, and landed them in the cliff mountain things and left them there to rot lol.

I do this as often as I can on Wake. If I am the US commander I will steal the Chinese J10 and park it on the carrier. Works really well if your team doesn't have a decent pilot.

I love doing this for any vehicle on any map.  If someone runs from an APC or Tank on Karkand, and I don't feel like being in a tank, I'll run it back to... the Suburbs if I'm MEC, and one of the cliffs surrounding that huge empty space between the Gas Station and Hotel.  It goes out of bounds, never to touch human hands again (until it blows up)

We used that same tactic in Call of Duty & COD:UO, havent noticed it here but I would assume quite effective of de-whoring another teams, yeah.

What I do, I would steal it and park where people will normally spawn out and use either c4 on vehicle or mine under it. i would sit and watch it go up in smoke.
