Merlin back door...

How do you let the door down?

hop in the copilot seat - use the W and S keys to raise and lower the back ramp.

Hold S in the co pilot seat.

Co-pilot controls it with up/down arrow keys if I remember correctly. Haven't played in six months due to being in army.

EDIT: Looks like I remembered wrong. Or has it been changed?

While in the passenger seat you hit "s" but you better raise it before take off with "w" or youll really piss off the pilot and your team!!

I dont understand why leaving the door open would be a problem, its how it supposed to be used. Ideally it should have a 50 cal on the ramp

I would agree on a GPMG but a 50. is a litte to big right?

The ramp extends to the same level as the undercarriage (obviously - otherwise you wouldn't be able to run/drive up it).

What that means in practical terms is that it's often very hard for the pilot to judge what his tailgate is hitting - making it very easy for him to hit the ramp on something as he lands on uneven terrain, tipping the Merlin over and killing everyone inside.

In short = ramp open when picking people up/droping off on flat terrain, closed at all other times.

Its also great for dropping people of buildings actually. Kinda hard to guess where the ramp is at times tho.

I must land nose first or something then because its no different to me when landing the merlin whether its open or not but I'll have to test that one out
