I watched a documentary film of WWII and an idea just hit my head. Just read this for fun.

As soon as a game starts, 5 squad leaders get in a chopper, fly to the target area (direct flight or detour) and jump out. Here the chopper needs a strong support from a gunship or a jet.
A commander should pour down artillery attacks on the target area if he can see any obstacles there.
As soon as the leaders land on the ground, all other squad members spawn on their squad leader all at once. There you can see a swarm of troops all of a sudden.
Probably, USMC can use this tactics at the map of Dragon valley or the Wake island or...

by the way, I never try this before. Is it possilbe to spawn on a squad leader who's airborne from the chooper? If so, it will be even greater to see and try.

Just my imagination..

Well, if i saw a full BH when i was in th eopposing teams Jet or Chopper, i would have 6 easy kills ending your big idea.... Especially on Wake Island, chances are limited...

No, you cant spawn on an airborne squad leader.. :-)

Yes you can, it's quite easy if the BH has empty spots to spawn and is flying high enough so the AA can not reach it, all members can bail out over the target area.

Only problem is that you're parachuting over the enemy and so you are an easy target.

thats why you drop until you are like 2 feet from the ground and then use your parachute

I am pretty sure that you can not spawn on an airborne squad leader. I have seen this tactic used before with some Clan. they have a video clip of it working.

the team members in the black hawk on Wake all jump out over the airfield, and wait till the last minute to pull the parachute cord. then as soon as they land, the rest of the team spawn on them.

I have done it in a similar fashion on the Operation Clean Sweep map. Decided that after making many attempts to get onto the islands from flying the transport chopper, boat or APC but always getting killed at the last minute, that i would take the plane, fly to the furthest base (this way the enemy would not expect to defend it) then i jumped out and landed at a flag. my squad mates then spawned on me and the flag was captured just like that.

from then on the rest of the team spawned at this flag and took the majority of the other flags.

Its an obvious tactic but it doesnt work if everyone on Wake is simply arguing over the Jet/Chopper

Works with just one squad leader... I've tried it before and it works...

It would be nice to try with five but the asshats on the servers I play on would never listen...

yeah one squad leader can work to great effect if everyone is on the same wave length.

one squad leader jumps out of the plane and lands, then his squad members spawn on him. each squad member then forms their own squad and the rest of the team then join these squads.

then everyone can spawn at the same point.

Hold on a sec - must've been a realistic documentary, if the squadmates spawned on the squad leaders on ground. Last time I checked, it usually takes 9 months to spawn someone, even after parachuting on hostile land (note that the number of all those lonely women only increases the number of spawns, not the speed).. And the newly-spawned squadmate is still pretty much useless in combat for years.

Thats a old clan tactic. Use it hole the time, but mostly bailing from a plane.

hehehe the BH has been used a lot on the wrong way...its got his name as transport for nothin. like in Wake...if i get the BH , and it fully loaded i land on the shore and ''BAIL OUT'' the gunners stay but the rest goes out and are going for the first flag...i head back to the ship and reload . if u do this Wake is a hell lot easier for USMC ...but Dont use the BH as ur Flying Armor vehicule. coz that just sucks balls

In a perfect world assuming perfect communication and teamwork practiced alot.

1 Squad Leader flies in with a plane to a rear position and bails out.
Then 5 more people spawn on that Squad Leader.
They all leave the Squad and make squads of their own.
All 5 people for each of those squads spawn.

If it's practiced then you should be able to get a force of 30 in a rear location within a minute.

Alas this is not a perfect world.

I usually get the BH and hover at about 400-500 feet (pretty darn high) and the rest of the squad spawns on me, and I just hover there and let them bail out until the control point is captured.
