Enter helicopters correctly
95 words added, 9 words removed. Title changed from "Entering Helicopters" to "Enter helicopters correctly".
v1.01
When entering a helicopter you must enter from the sides due to the firing arcs of guns facing forwards and the dangerous tail rotor at the back. Some helicopters such as the Chinook are only enterable from the back, in these instances, you should move to the rear of the helicopter to avoid the front as that is where the door gunners are positioned.
v2.00
When entering a helicopter the player must enter from the sides, specifically from the rear side at a 45 degree angle to the helicopter. This is due to the firing arcs of any guns in use in the helicopter facing sideways (and often forwards) and the dangerous tail rotor at the back.
Additionally, the front is also considered a danger area, due to the likelihood that the main rotor(s) will dip towards the ground at the front as the helicopter lifts off and attempts to move forwards.
Some helicopters such as the Chinook are only enter-able from the back. In these instances, players should move to the rear of the helicopter and avoid the front as that is where the door gunners are positioned and firing in most cases. Any helicopters that mount from the rear, tend not to have rear-rotors and are therefore safe to approach from the rear.
