Attacking uncap

[DUMBDOTT]

What is the boundary on attacking flying vehicles in uncap. I understand helis spawn on the ground but can i attack them as soon as they get a reasonable distance in the air to shoot something across the map? Also with jets as soon as they spawn some in the air and others on landing strips. For example. Playing on operation firestorm am I allowed to to attack a jet as soon as they take off from the strip and in the air and have to wait until they shoot there weapons on me. Very hard to clarify because not all vehicles spawn the same and kind of a gray zone.

So my understanding is on most city maps (ex: dawnbreaker,seige) helis can be attacked if they are either A. Above the tops of buildings in their spawn or B. Outside the spawn area if they stay below the buildings roofs. For open maps (ex: zavod, firestorm) it is less obvious and more a judgement call for you and for the admins see-- https://banzore.com/forums/threads/complaint-from-beerus-about-player-przzz.21116/ VS https://banzore.com/forums/threads/complaint-from-dad_e_razz-about-player-777_dallas_777.21117/ ) those two are very similar imho, but one got punished and one didn't. I TYPICALLY try to let helis regardless of height get out of the spawn area unless they shoot out.

Caveats are of they shoot out they are fair game and if all flags are capped they are fair game.

Attack jets are only if they are out of spawn or they shoot. My buddy got punished for killing a jet that was spawned in flying on Hainan and didn't fly out of their spawn was just circling, so best suggestion is wait till they are out. Jets taking off from ground is similar.

thanks man, didn't really know cause sometimes heli's like to use the missile guide as soon as they get out of spawn on flood zone like you posted on the opposite side (or either)from those clips you showed me and don't really get a high enough distance so I wouldn't know sometimes.

I see, just didn't know with maps with landing strips cause most jets would either fly straight into the sky or turn around and use free look cam to see enemy or map besides if enemies were to fly back into there base they would have a stationary aa but doesn't always work sometimes so i get that.

In general it's uncool to shoot at an aircraft before it leaves the uncap UNLESS the pilot/gunner opens fire first. Then it's on.

Yes and FYI with helis with guided they are fair game if they ATTEMPT a lock on. Though it's hard to tell unless they are locking on to you.

Also please do not direct a laser designator into an opponent's base.

That was an issue for BBBOS. Seems one of the dirty tricks going on was someone would SOFLAM a target in the enemy uncap and someone else would fire and collect a negative point.

The guy with the SOFLAM would get away with it - until they got caught.

yes that happens sometimes very hard to prove the person unless spectating

I think in general, no one should even notice attack helo/jet leaving *(just spawned one not one going to repair). Should be worried about the flags. If your looking to uncap area for air, your just a pos spawn camper/uncap camper< choose your description.

We don't ask such questions which cannot be answered.

A fair number of our members are ALWAYS recording. Thus the shitheads eventually get caught and banned.
