I died, but miracuously Crew survived in the cobra, which was disabled. I re spawn engineer at airport and hop aboard my squad mates (Zack) BH with his crew chief, (also engi) we fly back to the area, we get dropped off and wrench the Cobra to full health!
It was Epic, Im going to make a movie.

yeah i've seen this, good teamwork... just watch for me sticking IEDs up your engine exhausts!.. I did that to a 'recovery' crew the other day in the Basrah desert. Hehe the poor feckers were looking so happy, just about to get airborbe again...KaaarrBooom.

And back on topic: I leave everything alone that is abandoned, except APCs (being a spawn). Deny the enemy assets and give yourself ammo.

Enemy vehicles are also good for cover, because enemies are less likely to take a shot that would reduce their score from Team Vehicle damage.

If I cared about my points I'd be playing vBF2, I frequently will destroy abandoned friendly assets (stuff clearly not being used by friendlies, or has too many enemy near it) to get them to respawn. I always destroy burning hulks. Yeah, it dings my score, but that's not why I play PRM.

Not everyone thinks that way though. There are a lot of people score conscience, an APC was trying to catch me with his gunfire and I ducked behind his teams Humvee, he drove on and left me alone.

Is there a way to restock Humvee/technical ammo?

Use the repair/ammo vehicle to give out ammo to the Humvee machine gun/TOW and use the ammo dumps for technicals. I'm pretty sure ammo dumps will give out ammo to the technical guns...

I played airport as British one round, the tank was rampaging all the way to the middle flag, i get the H-AT and shoot it till it was disabled, the guy hoped out and a mate sniper killed him, I decided to not blow it up, but then the tickets when short on both teams, 7-8. I decided that with the round almost over, i should blow it. I shot it and reduced their tickets by 3 for the win.

Wait vehicle spawns are worth tickets?

*Should* be fixed in the future. It will still say you got team damage, but it won't detract any from your score.

That is the way most people, are about it.
I like to sit in the back of US humvees when I am insurgent sniper. No one pays any attention to me, and I can restock my ammo. It's kinda funny that I have never been found when using this tactic...

Once Ive I got by BH hit in the tail and due all the damage I failed to land it on the helipad, so I landed almost off the map...then the longest 6 minutes in PR began, as I walked back to get the Crewman kit (didnt feel like doing suicide and spawning as engy), then hooked a forklift and went repairing the BH, untill the smoke from engine was gone..then walk back again, since some plane TKer stole the forklift and back to BH with Pilot kit, started it and landed at the helipad for full repairs
