+ Transport helicopters are another common occurrance on most maps, but only
fairly useful if used in conjunction with teammates. The only weapons on
transport helicopters are either (2) mounted .50 cals in slots 2 & 3, or (2)
Vulcan cannons mounted in slots 2 & 3. Other than that, these fairly slow
moving air vehicles are exposed to other air attacks, AT missiles, mounted AA
stations, and just random fire from the ground. The advantage of transport
helos is that they can navigate from place to place without having to use
roads, and possess the ability to capture points like a bunnyhopper. The patch
recently fixed the problems with mass capping in transport helicopters.

- The USA's Blackhawk rapes, plain and simple. The two Vulcan cannons shoot at
one of the fastest firing rates in the game of any weapon, and have enhanced
phasor damage. The disadvantage is that it has an exposed hull from the sides
for half of the infantry load, where snipers can pick you off. The two other
choppers are almost identical. They're sort of like slow-moving jalopies. They
have mere .50 CALs that are difficult to aim while mobile in the air. The only
exposures are windows, but they lack the ultimate power of the Vulcan cannons
which even do damage to armored vehicles.

   ~ General Strategies ~
   ======================
- Load a squad into a Blackhawk, and hop from flag to flag across the city.
Have your passengers bail out, capture the flag, then receive a pick-up from
the Blackhawk. Repeat for the next point. The patch prevents players from mass
capping flags with ease, as you will only count as one capper when inside a
transport helo.

- Another strategy is to simply circle around a populated area, laying down
Vulcan fire to easily amass kills. You simply have to aim the cannon right
through a guy to rip him to shreds for the kill.

- Transport helos are useful for reaching impossible-to-reach places. Try
bailing out over an American carrier, then finding a position near the top to
snipe people on the deck. Use them to reach the top of 300 meter cylinders for
sniping locations.
