Battlefield 3

Re: Battlefield 3

It used to be fairly easy to take helicopters down with the SIGLA, but I can't lock with it anymore. I think if you do hit, It's an automatic disable.

If someone has a lock on one, you can still shoot it with a Javelin. That seems to be the most effective way to do it from the ground.

I wish I could fly the damn Little Bird. I can actually control it very well now, I just can't seem to do much damage with the automatic guns on it. That and the Z-11 are the only two helicopters that I'm not good on the attack. I can fly them, just not effectively.

I was much better with the Viper, before the original patch. I like the flare reload speed and it's awesome when you have two guys with flares (I've done it with Chizzy and we were almost unstoppable), but the sound from someone locking and when they actually fire seems to have an issue and it's hard to tell when and when not to deploy flares now, which goes back to my original point that it's more effective to have your gunner with flares too...

ECM is much better than flares. It prevents any lockons for 5 seconds. Even if they fired their rocket before you deployed the jammer, it'll still distract the incoming rocket.

Re: Battlefield 3

Get multiple engineers. Have a javelin with a guy using guided shells in the tanks. I usually run engineer on big air heavy matches. And a lot of the people I play with too, and they can be taken down. Flares take a good bit of time to reload, so as long as its not a really good pilot, they are no worse than tanks.

Thats what I mean, why does it have to take multiple engineers? But anyway it didnt matter, playing with randoms. I was only one with engineer class.

Thats what I meant by the flak perk.

One engineer with a stinger shouldn't be able to singlehandedly take out a chopper, otherwise air support is useless.

Yes medics can revive, support can toss ammo, and recon can use their gadgets. The engineer can repair vehicles. All of these actions do not drastically alter the game balance. If a single engineer using a lock on based rocket was able to shoot down a chopper with ease, air superiority would be non existant.

The stinger is useless in this game. The AT-4 from previous games or at least some guided rocket should have been used instead.

Re: Battlefield 3

Catch my comments on the previous page? I couldn't post on your youtube page...

Yeah I gotcha, thanks as always Dan. I will definitely be trying it out and in the future, maybe not my in my next vid since it will probably be the M417, but not sure. Glad you liked it though

Re: Battlefield 3

I feel maybe I should have waited to buy the Premium. 2 nights in a row I am unable to get on EA servers

I jumped in a game with you late last night. I was like, I'll play one or two quick games before I go to bed. Then I get into the game and I see one team has over 900 tickets left. I couldn't hang in there that long, lol.

I went and tried Gun Master and just got frustrated as crap. I'm pretty good with most guns, but the one gun I should be able to do damage with up close, the shotguns, just don't get the job done for me. It always takes me too long to get through the shotguns.

Wait. That was me Koolie! I thought I saw you pop in. That match took forever... 79 min long. I gutted it out as the team I was on got smacked around a bit.

Yeah I get that but man Air Support is just so OP compared to the **** launchers we got.

Also just played a game of TDM on Canals, 500 tickets. The top half of thier team were using Shotguns and were in the middle near the crates. One guy had 109 kills, another had 80, another 66, and so on. If you get a team to use all shotguns you basically win all the time. In one match I was facing a 870 slugs, USAS Feletche, the grenade launcher shotgun, DAO-12, and another that was really wierd looking. -_-

My bad. I knew I jumped in with an OSer, but as soon as I saw both teams with over 800 tickets, I was out.

Re: Battlefield 3

I don't seem to have a problem with helicopters, too much.

Between tanks, AA guns, and engineers.. it's tough to stay in the air.

I see what you're saying as when I began playing, I thought the same thing.

But when you think about it, its not that unfair.

Choppers have to fend off other choppers, two jets, stingers, javelins, and a tanks guided shells. You can even throw in RPGs, AA guns/vehicles, and unguided tank rounds as well.

All of those things can be used to take them down. Lol

It takes a really skilled pilot to keep a chopper up for an extended amount of time. I feel that I can fly a chopper decently. By that I mean I can get around the map just fine without crashing. I can control it just fine. But I never keep the chopper up longer than 30 seconds. Like I said, it takes a considerable amount of skill to keep a chopper up.

Either that, or an incompetent/stubborn team that refuses to switch their strategy to do something about it and instead just counts on someone else to take care of enemy choppers.

That Canals/Rush match was fun, TMagic. We had a solid squad. I had a few moments where I was in the right place at the right time and eliminated whole squads.. lol. I was playing like a mad man, though.. even stole their anti-air vehicle once...

I don't know what the idiot at the end in the Venom was trying to do. I know we only had 8 tickets, but he didn't have to try doing circles and not go after the objective. It almost seemed like he was trying to lose.

My head and eyes are hurting from cussing so bad, but we kicked ***.. over 8000 pts for you and I had close to it..

Finally to Colonel 15 !

You had some good places for spawn becons on Metro, too.. ppl just wouldn't take advantage of it. I kept thinking, "How the **** are these guys taking A and there's a spawn becon on top of it!".

Haha. Good games man. We kicked ***.

We got real close to the last MCOM. I think I got in there two or three times to set it myself. Just couldnt seal the deal.

I was laughing my *** off at one point in the game. I saw you go down and came back for you. I saw the guy and got a few shots in and he hid. I revived you, I tried to get a few more shots in, then he killed me. You got up, took a few shots in, revived me, then he killed you. Then I got up finished him off and revived you. I know he was pissed. He had 4 kills wiped out and ended up dead to top it off, killed by the same guys he kept killing.

This is always the case when i seem to play and then find myself spending all my time trying to take the vehicle / aircraft down by myself which it turn leaves me to say eff it and leave the game
