Repairing Helicopter in Mid-Flight

Most engineers don’t realize you can repair a helicopter in mid-flight, as long as the copter has a passenger slot, like the Blackhawk. Repairs can only be performed from a passenger slot, not from a gunner or pilot seat.

Now, repairing a copter is not the same as repairing a tank. With a tank, you can pretty much look at any part of tank and begin repairs. Not so with a helicopter. You basically have to hunt for the sweet spot and it tends to move around, making copter repair challenging, which it should be. Just keep activating your repair tool while scanning the inside of the copter until you see it take effect. Once you have located the sweet spot, you can continue repairing until the copter is fixed.

Switch from Gunner to Passenger: If you’re playing the Engineer class and you happen to be manning the Blackhawk chaingun, you can quickly switch to the passenger seat and perform some quick repairs. When complete, return to the chaingun and go about your day. By doing this, you keep the copter is great condition, extending its flight time and prolonging the agony of the opposition.
OMG did not know that!

The building has a ladder resting against the wall. When this ladder is broken, the buidling collapses. Basicly this means one noobtube, one CG , one grenade or even a knife can destroy A.

Pardon me for not playing the game but why is that picture fun? are they on the oposite team as the one that took the screenshot?
Are they lined up for easy snipering? will they die due to friendly fire?
Will a well placed rocket wipe the whole team out?
Are they facing the wrong way?

Edit:
wait ... are all of them snipers? uh... why are they moving in a grp like that?
Untill anyone tells me differently im going to assume that's it.
(how large is a team in that game?)

In this gametype (rush) you need to blow up enemy m-com stations and you often can't do that from a distance (sometimes you can collapse the house were the m-com is in). So if almost everybody snipes you usually never win. I didn't make the ss btw.
