		In city flying when the defense goes down on the oposing team use transport helicopters as taxis to move the infintry to battle fast.  When you are in a chopper exit as soon as it lands so the pilot can bug at and make another run.

		It actually really gets on my nerves when I play on Walls_Flying, and a transport chopper screams, "Get in the Vehicle"  It fills with 4 engineers, and the IDIOT CHOPPER PILOT flys us to the top of the cliffs!  What do a chopper-load of engineers care about the cliffs?  Go into the DAM BASE! Is it really that tough for a sniper to run to the sniping spots?  Do you have to eat up a vehicle slot and a whole team member to serve as a taxi for what might be the least productive members of your team? TAXIS ARE A WASTE OF A MAN AND A VEHICLE SLOT! Choppers should be running engies past defenses to buildings impossible to reach by foot.  Any other use of a chinook is a waste of time.

		Yeah any time you can drop an extra 3 people in a fire fight is a waste.  The person flying has to know what they are doing and do it quick.  I'm not saying don't fly to buildings i'm saying don't make it a one way trip.

  True but APC's can also manuever around obstacles like rocks, hills, and support beams while a heli is just floating through the air giving a clean shot to any sniper.

		Manuevering those pigs is like parallel parking a buick in downtown Boston. Yeah, you can do it, but it gonna be awhile.
