+Players can spawn ground units using crates. Some vehicles require multiple crates to be dropped in proximity of each other. Crates can be requested anywhere. There was usually a zone centered within 0.25nmi around HEMTT TFFT logistics truck found near the green smoke.
 Sling loading is simulated by spawning and despawning crates based on the player's position rather than simulating the physics and rendering a rope. To pickup a crate a player must hover over it for 5 consecutive seconds inside a volume that is 7.5-20m above the ground and within 15m ground displacement. In other words, a cylindrical 12.5 meter tall cylinder with a 15m radius. This is high enough to develop a vortex ring state that destroys the helicopter.
-Unpacking a crate will despawn the crates and spawn the corresponding unit. Be sure about this step as vehicles cannot be repacked to be moved with a helicopter. The Combined Arms DLC would be required to move vehicles by driving them around.

 The JTAC Humvee is persistent across server restarts, but there is a limit of 10 JTAC units.
-The JTAC Humvee marks units with red smoke and lases it for aircraft to employ laser guided munitions. It can lase a unit within a 10km line of sight including terrain, but excluding objects such as trees and buildings. Therefore, JTACs on top of buildings or on sides of mountains provide the best lines of site. Alternatively, a helo pilot may fly through a nearby city or forest and drop a JTAC inside it. The JTAC will be able to lase through the objects while the pilot have cover from enemy fire.

 The laser code will be broadcast server wide upon each new  lase, or it can be found under JTAC or CTLD Status in the radio menu. It is good practice to mark the laser code next to the unit on the F10 map. This mark will last until server restart even if the player logs off.

 There are several reasons why you need to fly forward, and this method combines that with crate spawning behavior to space out a HAWK site with as little effort as possible. A player will get a feel for how far enough they should be. Go with the flow.
-In the F10 map draw a 0.25nm line as a guide. Spacing 4 crates along this line meets the criteria mentioned terms of minimum spacing, time eaten up, and placement. An anti-radiation missile that destroys one antenna should leave the others alive if not completely unscathed. To remember which way to face, set your heading indicator or pick a distant landmark to keep facing. This line could be oriented perpendicular to the direction enemies are most likely to come from. Otherwise a missile can overshoot an antenna and hit something along the line. It would also allow planes to strafe down the line of units without deviating from the way they already came from.
