On Burning Sands, I was part of the British tank squad.
We were near crash site among all the burnt out tanks. We'd already lost 2 tanks and taken out a few enemy tanks as well, adding a few extra wreckages to the area.
I was on the .50 cal as the enemies Havoc fly straight over the top of us.
Both the main gunner and I tried to aim at the chopper, thinking we were already dead, when something interesting happened.
Our guns were aimed skyward, just like the burnt out prop tanks. I told the gunner to remain perfectly still. Our engines were off.
Our driver was outside the tank, scouting, and the chopper fired a laser guided missile straight at him and missed. It landed not even 20 m from where we were sitting. He went prone in a depression in the ground not far from us. The chopper hovered over us for a few more seconds, probably assuming they'd killed our driver, then flew off.
We then called in our CAS who took him down, which was awesome to watch.
This was probably the most suspenseful 3 minutes of PR I've had in a while, and it was an epic feeling.

"Just Play Dead"
One of the most useful emergency tactics, many times I went prone and drop the kit.
Last time I did it was on Insurgency (Map: canadian vs ins/MEC)I just had been TeamSwitch so when crossing a Highway I thought: "Good, APC support." on the middle of the road, just when I see the APC, I remembered in what team I was..."Just Play Dead"... the APC stopped 2m away dropped a full SQ and 3minutes later I was chasing those infidels.

Dont question the wikipedia! Just because it reports different things on different languages does not make it unreliable source!

Re: Just Play Dead
Happaned to me too ;D
Apache attacked our tank formation, killing 2 tanks, leaving me and my gunner alone. He was hovering above us, and when he hit the ground next to us, I told my driver to cut the engine, and I freezed the turret. He hovered for a few more seconds, and then tried to RTB. Luckily my turret was still active, so I turned arround, and shot him down with AP XD

Re: Just Play Dead
Same here. We got attacked by RAF on Iron Ridge and they took us all out... i just palyed dead in the mids of the corpses and when they let their guard down, i grabbed the nearest kit.
