While the Transport Pilot lacks heavy weaponry, their abilities can still turn the tide of battle. A pilot can be drop off infantry almost anywhere on the map, and thus surprise and overrun enemy positions from unexpected angles.
Gameplay Details
The Transport Pilot can use transport helicopters to drop off or pick up infantry. The Pilot should be quick and fast when landing infantry and lifting off as they are more likely to be shot down or injured when taking too long. Since the Huey is relatively unable to defend itself from attack, it's important to remain mobile, agile, and fast, and the time spent on the ground should be as short as possible, unless otherwise safe. However, the constant spawn of players in a helicopter means that it's easy to waste time being airborne between drop offs, so the pilot must always be conscious of his passengers and drop off troops whenever possible.
A Transport Pilot can earn points (+5) for dropping off infantry. When a Transport Pilot is linked to a Squad, every member of that squad will automatically spawn on the Pilot's helicopter when their Squad Leader is not available, and make any objective that is captured by each of the squad members that were dropped off, reward the Pilot a point each person. Squad Leaders and Commanders are able to mark Landing Zones for the Huey as seen on their map or tactical HUD marked as yellow, or red for danger.
Characteristics
The Pilot wears a flight suit, body armor, gloves, and a pilot helmet. He carries a pistol holster and an ammo pouch.
