'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino']well ehhh, it was on basrah, but for some reason which we cant work out quite yet, it fell out of the map on the final build....

So logically ... if we dig on the heli-pad at the airstrip. That's what the shovels are for! Come on boys, we must un earth the Apache!

Thank you,

And could you be so kind as to read the explanations they have already posted in this very same thread before posting.

Thank you,

Ah! We finally found out the reason for that shovel.

geo,

Thank you for your reply. I read all the posts on this specific thread and could not locate any (explanation) from the Devs. I lack the skill it seems. Can you please quote the explanation in question?

Thank you,

"Mob-24"

[R-DEV]Rhino, post #3 of this thread. This post clearly say this it was an accident, hinting that it was removed unintentionally.

Sorry, 2481, didn't mean to sound rude. I just found it funny that the fact it was accidental and that it was not "removed" was stated 3 posts down in the thread. You probably just missed it.

Thank you Gentlemen,

Geo - no pun taken. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether someone is joking or not. Thus, I believe we can expect a patch soon to fix the problem?

I trust you find this in order,

There is one possible explanation.

The ground in game below the Apache had problems during the finalization. So, instantly as the game is preparing to start and all the vehicles spawn, the Apaches fall through the 'hole' and forever fall unendingly in the abyss that is below BF2's ground level.

Since they didn't have much problems during the finalization, this only apparently happens to vehicles. The players still stand on the ground where the Apache once sat before falling through. It's a BF2 engine glitch conspiracy!

I'm amazed at the number of new players interested in the aircraft. Don't they know they're a smaller target on the ground?

They also know, that they are infact a larger target, but a tough, mass killing machine as well. But that machine is no match for my RPG skills.

Also don't judge people on here as new to PR due to their rank on the forum.I've been playing PR since the beginning of V0.5,but I joined forum couple months back...And also,as for the Brits. not using the Littlebird,have you ever heard of caolition forces?The U.S. and U.K. team up all the time.So it is possible for the littlebird to be in the new Basrah,as indicating the U.S. is giving some small airsupport.

Seriously... the n00bs in Basrah cant take off in the Merlin, but at least they can live till they plunge off the Bridge in Basrah and whine about how the Warrior isnt amphibious

agentscar · Post by **agentscar** » 2007-07-18 22:56

Yes! That is quite funny to watch,the noobs complain about how they think the merlin has a take off bug,then i say you have to let the engine get warmed up,and they say "WTF?" lol.Same thing happened a lot with littlebird in v0.5. I haven't had the joy of seeing a noobie think the Warrior is ampibious and drive it into the water yet,but hopefully will soon.

Im glad, that there's no Apache on Basrah, kiss ammo dump raping goodbye

Ehm...I did that once. In my defense, it was during the beta, the day after it was released, and there were only two people in it, counting me. The shame still haunts me *starts to sob*

There is a takeoff bug. Low FPS in the Helis at the aiport.

the feeling that you get after your outnumbered in a firefight wit insurgents and all of a sudden a chopper flys over an wipes em out, saving your ***.

havin a chopper to back you up is awesome, problem is alot of players jus fly around rapin stuff instead of backin up their infantry.

ah well

The apache

Don't

LOL!
