BF2S Forums My New ROE Interpretation

This is my interpretation for the ROE:

1.- Engineers repairing BH: yes, they should be able to do it IF they are under enemy fire, or damaged
     is a definite and direct consequence of enemy fire.
2.- C4 chunking from BH with the aid of a Support man, definitely constitutes a form of Stats Padding.
     The mission of the Spec Ops personnel is certainly not to throw explosives from a Helicopter.
3.- An attack to an uncappable flag can be done by Spec Ops personnel along with one Support man, IF,
     and only IF the mission is to destroy Enemy Commander's assets, and they cannot open fire against
     enemy combatants unless they are fired upon first.
4.- Sustained direct fire upon enemy troops at an uncappable flag and Spotting from an uncappable flag
     indefinitely, can be done ONLY by Scout Snipers personnel.
5.- Transport vehicles must be used for Transport and Support only. Blackhawks are equipped with guns
     in order to provide fire support, and not for Spawn killing purposes. Personnel on board of a BH
     above a CP must deploy immediately in the pursuit of taking that flag. However, Helicopters may be used
     as mobile Spawn Points if a Squad Leader is inside.
6.- Commander flying or in a vehicle instead of commanding, depends and was written from the
     beginning in the BF2 Official Game Guide (the Field Manual, let's call it) under the "Commander
     Tactics/ Chain of Command" Chapter, (and I quote): "While the commander will have to do some fighting
     in the 16-player games, in the larger games, use the commander for orders and support". Meaning, that
     if the map's small (16-players) commander definitely will have to fight AND command.
     If the map's medium (32-player), it's his decision if fighting AND commanding, or only command.
     In the larger maps (64-players) he must  most definitely command only. Therefore, flying an airplane or
     driving a vehicle will depend on the size of the map, commander's criteria and field needs.
7.- Finally, any form of Stats Padding is definitely not acceptable.

What do you think about this men? Tell me if I'm wrong, please.
Semper Fi!

Second, why cant people just fly around in blackhawks all day without jumping out? Theres a reason you can use your weapons when you're sitting in the back, and those guns on the side can be used for much more than just support. This reminds me of some infantile server admins that have enforced rules against camping flags with attack helicopters, saying "land the chopper and cap or ill kick you."  blackhawks do not exist for the sole purpose of capping flags, and in fact many times landing at a flag to drop troops off would result in all kinds of unpleasantness for the crew.

As for throwing explosives out of a blackhawk, theres a fine line here. I've seen people killing 30-40 enemies in a round chucking c4 out of a chopper, which doesnt constitute stat padding for the support guy. Constantly throwing c4 out the window regardless of whether theres enemies nearby is stat padding. Though Dice left the proverbial door open on all of this when they made it possible to use your kit equipment while riding in the back. If they didnt want people repairing the chopper or blowing people up while in flight they wouldnt have made it possible to use stuff back there in the first place.
