Hey,

Sometimes when I am playing on Wake Island as USMC Spec Ops, I C4 the 3 artillerys at the Airfield and each one gives me a message "Team Vehicle Damage" and I lose teamwork points for each one. How can this be I am USMC how can the Chinese artillery belong to my side? Is this a glitch? It really sucks I am afraid to do my job as Spec Ops on that map. Thanks.

no it should not happen that way....because whenever I play wake, and we get airfield I always go and destroy the radar, uav, and arti so other team commander is less venerable

It seems to be a bug or something.

its not a bug or a glitch

If USMC capture the Airfield and Keep it for a certain amount of time, the artilery will become the property of the USMC and China will be without artilery, so in other words u were destroying ur own artilery!

Use ur radar to make the diference between ennemy artilery and friendly.....ennemy artilery will NOT show up on the radar.

No, that never happens. Artillery stays with its respective owners. It never "changes" teams.

He's right it never happens on the other maps is Wake Island special or something?

That's not true, I know for a fact that after holding the airfield around 30 minutes, the USMC was using the chinese artillery, because I had already blown up the artillery on the island and could see that it had not been repaired when an artillery strike killed my squadmates.  And no, it was at least 2 minutes after I had blown up the artillery, so I know it couldn't have been fired before I blew it up.

no one is sure if it is a glitch or a bug, but it does happen.

if the USMC blow up the arty and then take the airfield flag, after a certain amount of time, the arty guns will become the property of the USMC.  they'll then have four, five, or six arty guns all firing artillery at once.

also, play kubra dam.  the same thing happens there, but with the Sat Scan and UAV trailers.

You have to destroy the Chinese arty pieces and hold the Airfield for as of yet undetermined amount of time.  The arty pieces will change into the American arty cannons.

I hate it when I am the commander and I see a spec ops running towards the arty pieces.  I zoom in to see what the lazy eyed twat's name is and type in full caps repeatedly for the guy not to destroy them.  Then after he is clueless as to why he gets team vehicle damage.

It is very easy to differentiate between the arty pieces.  Look at your mini-map and you will see one, two or three artillery icons.  Also, only C4 the GREEN arty pieces, THOSE are the PLA artillery cannons.

For all you unbelievers

Notice that two of the three chinese artillery pieces show up on my minimap as friendly, and that they fire when I choose a target.

Do a quick run around the SAT scan trailer and the UAV on Kubra Dam you'll see the flag of the team/country on one side of them if your a US after capping the MEC Airfield. 

Never really noticed the time factor of the switch of assets

Always look before you blow... ... your load... ... of C4

I think those are the only ones i remember changin' like that on "vanilla BF2"... Have not played enough SF to notice...

Thanks for clearing things up guys next time I'll check the mini-map before I "blow my load."
