It's worse when you're gunning and the pilot bails without a word because a little paint got scratched off the copter.

I did just that 3 or 4 nights ago, the map that starts with the little island. The attackers were steady pushing us back rather quickly, we were at the next shoreline and lost both comm stations in short order so fall back to the helo pad area......

Or so I thought. Some yo yo brought the armor up and I seriously damaged it before he could turn up the street to come up the hill. I jumped into the armor and drove it back towards the attacker spawn and repaired it. With vehicles, I always spawn with sonars so I can see everyone around me. It turned out to be a turkey shoot. Approx 20% of the attacking team was focused on me, the rest of the now underpowered team kept running up the hill. Every time I would get damaged, I backed way up, repaired myself, came charging back in to slam a few more people and to keep them from running up the hill.

All along, I was taunting them about how you should NEVER get out of the armor. Needless to say, what was destined to be a disaster for us turned into an easy defense. I didn't get all that many kills, but with so many people NOT pressing up the hill, they couldn't break the defense that was waiting at the comm stations. It was beautiful :::: insert happy sigh here :::::

I see what your saying. I mostly just had Rush in my head when thinking about this. <3 me some RUSH...

I will hardly ever enter a tank unless I am engi and I have my RPG enabled. If I absolutely feel the need to bail on my tank, I put a finishing missile round into it immediately, get the hell away, and hope no one saw me in the melee. Even if I accidentally receive the EPIC FAIL becuase I was a little close to the blast radius, at least I have a chance and the opposing team has a minimal chance of stealing the tank. There is slight risk but it works 99% of the time.

LOL, maybe it's just the PC rush games, but on the 360 we actually take the sites and progress. Maybe it's because we can actually communicate and people push up, not sure, but it's never really a problem. Like RICO said, if you are in a tank, everyone notices and your going to get some rockets coming your way with a quickness.....
