AAG should be used to refer to the STATIONARY Anti Air Gun. The Tunguska is the Anti-Air vehicle. Can't call the vehicle a gun now can we. Back on Topic. The tunguska like i said is the best vehicle in the game. They will probably be nerfing it a little so that the bullets dont disorient the chopper so much. With a good team of engineers the tunguska can be pretty much controlled and rendered useless. Tiny Birds are king on that map as long as your teammates aren't fools... which usually they are making it a beast.
Patch notes here, and they do contain less physical impact from AA and Jets. Consoles will see the patch after certification.
I though id post some goodies from your find. Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns, AA guns, and Jet Cannons against infantry [Awesome] Increased the damage of Helicopter Miniguns against jeeps. [Delicious] Reduced the physics impact of AA guns and Jet Cannons, players under attack from these weapons should no longer lose control. [Bout time] Slightly increased the minimum range of the Mk11, SVD, and M39 EMR 7.62mm rifles. [Interesting] Decreased the maximum damage and maximum range of the G3 and SCAR-H 7.62mm weapons. [Good Move] Reduced the damage from FIM-92 and SA-18 IGLA missiles against aircraft. [**** YES] Increased the damage and range of the 40mm BUCK rounds. [Not to sure] Significant changes to the Join Squad functionality [Great changes] Im really feeling all these air vehicles changes and AA nerfs I bet the Tunguska is still a beast against infantry.
I'm happier about these: Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it (I've been killed countless times with grenade in hand never to see any explosion post mortem) Spawn protection now should work in Conquest. You should no longer spawn on points too close to enemies (possibly the most aggravating thing about Conquest is getting spawn-knifed while trying to cap a flag... looking at you, Seine Crossing)
I won't be happy until they remove the ability to repair choppers while sitting in them, and increase the reload time of flares.
They won't remove repairing mid-air. In fact, they intend to make the Engineer earn the same points he would while repairing any other vehicle, because he gets no benefit of helping the pilot right now.
What do you mean why? Engineers need credit for repairing things, and engineers in a chopper that are repairing are not defending or attacking a point. One could argue that the utility of keeping a chopper up a little longer is less than that of extra boots on the ground helping with objectives.
Because a good pilot with a good engineer in a scout heli can kill a lot of people. I was playing Rush on Caspian Border and a black hawk was terrorizing us. I was in a tank so I shot at it, and hit it. Twice. The thing didn't even have a smoke trail coming off of it. I then proceeded to get blown up by its minigunners. Same exact thing happens whenever I play Noshahr Canals.
Does anyone else think in the patch they should have added an option to back out to the main menu upon completing a match? I hate having to wait 30 seconds to a minute just so I can back out..
I ****ing hate that soo much. How about a quit so people can join into the game and not quit before the game starts leaving an unbalanced team. If they left before they would be able to auto-balance. Too many times when the map loads 6 people on 1 team quit creating super unbalanced gameplay.
What the heck is up with the glitch where the right trigger starts to throw c4 instead of detonating it? That cost me 3 ****in tank kills in one game
god ****ing damn it. they still didn't fix the bullshit where a jet hits into your chopper and flies away while everyone in the chopper commits suicide. jet assholes are still taking advantage of this cheap tactic. fix that **** dice. for the next update.
lol i got so many clips of me doing that to choppers... EAT IT SUCKERS EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emGXp-qRrVg
Back To Karkand next week for 360 and PC I'm watching some stream from a PS3 gamer. These maps look leagues better than the vanilla maps.
I like the guy riding a skid steer with a rocket launcher (1:02). If that skid steer was actually functional in the game I would buy it instantly. I still might get it for christmas if people are still playing it.
I randomly got switched to the other team today after playing several games with my friends. After the game ends and some spots open up, I try to switch back to their team only to get a message saying I can't change teams that often and should spend some more time on the one team. Trolled by BF3...
I hate how complicated it is to play on the same team with a friend. We party up first, join a game, and 75% of the time, we wont be in the same squad and even opposite teams. Dice better fix this ****.
