Hello everybody...

i must tell you now a really strange bug story. Yesterday, on the 8. january, i was on the I.G.I server. The map was Qwai River, and my squad (i wasnt squadleader, because i'm a bad leader ...) was pretty nice and we just captured the old temple.

My squadleader was the pilot in a little bird, and as I saw this, I managed to get a spec-op kit (took it from a dead american, I took it not because of the m4, I really hate it, and I am very bad with this gun, but I took it because they are the only with a parachute), and the whole squad took place on the little bird, and my squad leader flew directly to the construction site. When we arrived, I jumped out (because I was spec-ops and I could attack the construction site from the other site, and derange the chineses who were defending. They shoot on the chopper and i press "E" for jump out. But... but... the chopper exploded and ... it was showed that I teamkilled them!

I was shoked, couldn't speak for some time... the whole squad was teamkilled by me... 5 people... My squadleader cried: What the [censored] [censored] did you do? Now I ask you: Did I do something wrong? I am too stupid to jump out?

Ps: Sorry for my poor english, but I'm not native. Ignore the mistakes or pm me (i must learn english for school

)

PPs: I'm rarley a specops but i the beginning of pm 0.4 I was a spec ops and jumped out of the chopper. But I was teamkilled by my pilot. Now it seems like the destiny is against me. Could it be, that this "jumping out" not only damage me but the chopper too, just a little bit... And because the chinese were defending and shooting, perhaps a rpg hit the chopper and because I jumped out at the same time, I damaged the chopper just a little, but this was the last hit and I "teamkilled" my mates.

Hmmm, I've never seen that happen before. Were you also killed when the chopper blew? Or had you fell clear by that time?

i was just a second alife after the bum, perhaps I get shooted by a chinese when jumping out... didnt know, it was very fast...

and I've never seen that before.. I still fear using the parachute...

In vBF2, any aircraft flying into a parachute dies instantly.

Or was that fixed?

Posted: **2007-01-08 18:52**

its prolly a vbf2 issue...

sometimes if your close to avehicle and it blows up (it coulda been an RPG) you will recieve TK even though it was the enemy ...

or like Mad says, you pulled you chute too early and the cords got sucked up into the rotars

Posted: **2007-01-08 18:57**

ah...

like I said, I use parachutes rarely...

Posted: **2007-01-08 18:57**

This has happened to me before. lol, i remember once that it caused me 2 TK's. One guy punished. I remember going totally apeshit against my squad in squad chat, then leaving....then returning and yelling at them again...it just pissed me off so much.... I think even Rhino was in the squad, but I know he wasn't in the chopper.

.....did you try drop any SLAM charges from the chopper?
Are you sure an enemy drop a C4 on the chopper, then that caused....something....domwhow to cause a TK by picking up the kit?

...mongol...

Now that would be a very plausible explanation. Of course, that would have been one fast LB pilot...

the chopper was in the air, as I took the kit. And I haven't put any soflam to the chopper, and there was no enemy, because the whole squad were waiting for the chopper.

I think this with the "you used the parachute too early" is the most obvious explanation... and strange circumstances.

LOL! You sound really traumatized. I think we need a new class in PR, the counsellor/psychologist class to help people with post traumatic distress after being in battle. He could have a deployable couch.

Rofl!! That is the best thing Ive heard in a long time

Hmm... the parachute could be a very plausible explanation. The parachute is treated as a vehicle, and therefore, if a vehicle hits another vehicle at a certain speed, the vehicle blows up. Some kind of lag may have caused you to glitch above the chopper or the chopper was doing a swan dive, and hit your parachute.

By the way, where are you from?

I think this is the best explonation...

I'm from a beautiful country, called "Switzerland" (and not sueden

)

I saw this happen to a guy before. It was his first round playing PR. After first plummetting to the ground with his assault kit I told him only spec-ops have a chute. The next time attacking docks he went as spec ops, jumped, somehow TKed the entire LB load and was promptly auto-kicked from the server after a "What the hell did I do now!?"

I hope he tried PR again...

Since we're on the topic of helicopters, I've got a bug for you all....it started this past Sunday and has happened every time since. Due to my horrible experience with helicopter pilots, I now NEVER ride passenger in a helicopter of any kind. Unless I am flying I never get in one. Well the other day I was squad leader and transporting people all over the place in a AH-60. As soon as someone jumped out (from the left rear) I team killed him right away. It happened to anyone who entered the helicopter and left the helicopter in that position. Trying another server thinking it was a server bug, it happened again...and again, and again. So I think there is something up with the left rear passenger position of the AH-60 that makes the pilot auto team kill when they get out (weather they jump and open their shoot, or you land and they jump out, they die either way).

- when airdropping, or when someone is about to unload from a copter..
1: Ensure you have only your squad in the copter if possible.
2: Have the squadleader in the chopper pilot seat.
3: When landing, -tell- them when to get out and hold the chopper still, in a hover and steady else the skids may take someones head off, or the tailrotor may do so.
4: Dont open your chute early, you will die one way or another.

5: If you see in your team [PR]RFAD|Dr_Rank and a squad of other RFAD in a chopper - let them take it.. your team will win the map

Only my squad was in the helicopter, I (being squad leader) was piloting (I never fly as a passenger anyway - due to bad experience with bad pilots), everyone waited till the helicopter was still to exit, no shoots opened too early, and I still teamkilled. This only happens to one person in the helicopter, and only if they are seated in a specific spot. It's happened to me a lot lately, so that's why I'm wondering if there is a bug.

ATM chopper exits are very touchy and have a tendancy to TK people... it will be looked in to for .6
