BF2S Forums Team Vehicle Damage? What for???

Yesterday I played Iron Gator as MEC. I took the APC, drove down to the beach and fired at the AA. Some shots and a missile later the guy in it was dead and i got my two points.
I waited for the AA to respawn and fired again to protect our chopper, but i got a Vehicle Damage. Stopped firing and looked at the map. The chopper was at the base for repairs and we had no other vehicle. So I fired again, the same shit happened again. In the end i had a teamscore of -12, although i killed 4 SEALs this way.
Anyone who saw things like that happen?

This is a fairly simple mistake to make, I've done it myself . When the flag has been taken (assuming it had) that's near to the AA, it becomes part of the MEC equipment, therefore, if you do fire at it, you incur TVD.

Check the minimap

This happened to me, exactly the same, in an apc, destroyed the AA position on Essex while Seals controlled the flags, got team vehicle damage. Must be a bug on that map.

Bug then.... although to be fair, it can't be there all the time because I would imagine it would be nearly impossible to fly a heli onto their ship... and I have destroyed the AA a couple of times without TVD

Add this bug to the Wake Island bug when you take out the PLA Artillery or Assets when you own the base.
Just another bug in a long list of bugs that DICE needs to fix in the next patch.

Have to revive this older thread...

Today, I had a very good round in the Hind, playing MEC side on Iron Gator (got both helo ribbons ). The Flag near to the carrier's AA, was in the hand of the Seals.

As always, my first raid towards the Essex, is to blow the AA, giving me a few minutes without the beep. In the end, I had over 30 kills and about -35 team points trough TVD (cost's me the gold medal *whine* )

I think, at the moment the MEC side has capped the first flag on the carrier, the AA belongs to both teams and that's the reason why you get TVD's, regardless who is sitting in it. I can't imagine an other reason, because the first time I blew it (short after the round start's), there was no MEC flag at the carrier and I didn't get a TVD.
