BF2S Forums Ever bail out to the 'Safe/Proper' side from a vehicle?

I've been trying to pay more attention to where I will exit a vehicle.  It seems to always be on the left, so I set that side up so if I need to bail and get cover I have a (slight) chance.

Seemed to work well tonight.

I DONT. This gets me upset to no end, I hate it when i'm in a tank and about to get killed, i usually turn the tank away from the enemy and try to bail out, but you know what? I bail out on the side of my aggressors...DOn't you flippin' HATE THAT? And you look so damn dumb also...I bail out, thinkin im on the side i wanted to get out of but i'm not, so i turn around and try to run, but i just run right at my tank thats about to blow, and then my body goes limp flying through the air.

Don't you love pulling up somewhere in a boat and getting out, but getting out on the opposite side you landed on, then havin to swim around your boat, or in the likely event...Getting killed by your slow moving boat? Maybe getting shot because you have to swim around a boat that just popped up on everybody's map? Great game this is sometimes....

Amen to that you are not alone on that whole fubar exit scenario. If anybody has figured out the exit where you need to command please let me know.

That RIB boat thingy nuts me to no end, it's even worse close to a dock with railing on the side it like a nonstop Benny Hill sequence of in the boat, out the boat, in the boat, out the boat, trying to get on the shore.

And if you make it on shore and it's steep you do the half in half out constipated walk until you can find a low enough slope. Fuck that's irritating. Or.... the RIB slides back onto you and puts you out of your misery.

Driver seat = get out on the left

Thats all i remember

In the case of a Tank or APC, you will always exit from the left (this is my personal experience and test).

In a Transport, you will exit the side you're seated. In the case you're in a turret in a transport, you exit on the left as well. You also bail on the left if you're in a center seat(say the 50. cal in the DPV)

Well slap me with a strip of velcro! Thanks for the tip.

just went to test this lot on wake

you dont exit on the side you get in and you dont always exit on the left from drivers seats either, especially if you are near a wall or other obstacle.  Center gun on the jeep exited on the right so unless anyones got a better idea, all we can say is 'it varies'

oh yes... this needs to be examined, because i also exit on the wrong side. always.

I'm not absolutely sure. but u "may" exit the gunner's seat in the direction you have the gun pointed. seems like i had to do that. i may be wrong tho.

It's worse when you bail out of a chopper.. you die half the time.

Yes definately the left hate getting killed  by my own dpv, fav.

u bail always at the left

Thanks for your contribution man, but I don't think you thought this one through...Because I've bailed on the right side of armor and apcs, humvees, and vodniks, buggies etc...Well I can't be sure, it would be obviously the right choice to get out on the left, but we all know what EA/Dice thinks about obviousness in a video game....

I just got home tonight, from being away on the weekend, I will test a few of this out myself, but I think what we SHOULD do is all take screen shots when we are under fire and about to get blow up as we bail out...I think what the majority of the screen shots will have in it...Our bodies flopping around in the air from a tank explosion!

Haha but when you are in a fight, you usually jump out on the wrong side.

QFT

Ya man, like, if i was like you know in a humvee and getting shot at from the right side of the street by gansta muslim thugsz, i would SO hop over to the passenger seat and wave at em to "Just hold on, i gotta get out!" While i push the door unlock button up, and crawl outta the passengers side of the car.

"Ok NOW you can shoot me!"

Another QFT, I think myself and two guys are gonna win back a game when we are flying around in the Mini Heli (Armored Fury) we fly over an enemy flag across the other side of the map, and us two passengers are like "YA! Lets DO THIS YA! GO GO GO!" ....... *presses e*

Which I have now learned stands for "Eject (your life)" So much for getting that flag now.
