the only thing i find with smoke is that it could get annoying for your other team members as it carnt be seen through either so there sitting waiting for it to clear, mind you if they wasnt protecting there kd they would be right behind me and helping out.
im usually a bit rambo like , just running straight in guns blazin lol

it doesnt take up that much space
unless youre gonna carpet an area and youd need a few willing assaults for thatit doesnt take up that much space
im not sure on that, i allways equip it with the explosive upgrade and the hardened warheads(<not sure if this does anything for it) i think the explosive upgrade does make a bigger amount of smoke though
I remeber 1 round i went to use smoke, i was putting it down only for it to have no smoke, three times i died and then relised i had equipped the uderbarrel shotgun lol

I love using the smoke on the various noob mountains to prevent sniper fire.
It's also great for blocking the view of enemy tanks.. smoke the tank, and your team are free to C4/rocket it!
Unfortunately, I'm growing far too attached to my C4 to use it
M16 + C4 + smoke would make me a happy man

Is there a reliable way of taking out helos? I managed to hit a blackhawk by just firing pot-shots at it with the standard rocket launcher and one happened to hit, though to my utter rage it didn't even kill it! Took loads of effort and a hell of a lot of luck, yet it still didn't take the thing down. I eventually got my hands on an anti-air tank, took out the blackhawk with that but then got insta-gibbed by an apache.
Am i missing something or are they just plain overpowered?

Underpowered if you ask me.
Rediculously easy to take down in my opinion.
I take them down easy and get taken down promptly as well.

pretty op really, basically you need a guy to snipe the pilot, shoot it down with any gun emplacements (or on top of tanks) or hopefully someone will tracer dart it (although thats hard too and no one uses the things) basically everyone on the team should shoot it then they go down quick
Ok cool, but how?
I don't play sniper, but hopefully someone will sort that for me, the gun emplacements couldn't aim high enough to fire at them, ditto for the tanks. As i say once i got my hands on an AA tank it took it down pretty quickly, problem was it got squished near instantly by the apache and then i had to wait ages for it to respawn. I'm hours away from unlocking the tracer dart sadly.

its about as hard if not harder to hit a heli with a tracer dart
has to be a noob flying it in straight lines close to the groundSniper can take out the pilot (if the helo is hovering, or a very skilled/lucky shot!)
Low helos can be taken out with tank/APC
Slow helos /predictable movement can be tracered/rocketed
AT mounted gun can bring it down
40mm if you're lucky
The Hind is massively overpowered (but has little pitch/yaw indication making it harder to pilot) - it's the decent pilots that can make helos impossible to hit. This then requires AA weapons, mounted guns and M95s to scare it away, if not bring it down.
You can always try to sneak to their spawn, and either C4 the thing or steal it
I've managed to bring the odd chopper down with a mortar strike, whilst they hover in the same position for a few seconds
*edit*
Oh, and UAVs are great at taking them down - just fly straight into them and more often than not you'll knock them out of the sky as they try to recover

Loam, MP wont let us go back to R8 its a nightmare which means we are stuck with this ***py server patch.... and what makes it worse is as you said R10 is usless without a client update!!!
Does my head in.... we have to suffer now with dropped player numbers and dropping back down the ranks on gametracker..... DAM I HATE DICE AT TIMES!!!
Think i might just drop one of our 32 slot servers and buy it with Killcreations!

what i see a lot of is people jumping in the tank and just hitting fire, best thing to do is try to hide the tank or that other thing with the mounted gun(carnt think what its called) slip it behind a building getting it up close to the walls as possible then lie in wait for the heli to fly past and let rip, by the time its realised its down
Is it a case of punkbuster showing as ON and now the players that are running hacks are not populating the servers with pb ON
Meh, i've seen it. But i've seen 1 of the gunners quickly switch in and keep on flying just as often.

Anyone got a spare copy going from a 4-pack? Can pay by paypal or BT asap.
Thats because most people who go Engineer do it to whore Gustav kills. I never go Engineer without a Tracer Dart unless its a non-vehicle map (in which case i'd probably go another class anyway). Its just ridiculous the number of people who use the Gustav over the RPG on vehicle heavy maps. Personally i've taken to spending my first life dropping AT Mines then switching to RPG so i can actually destroy vehicles like i'm supposed to.
On that note i did have a fun Rush on the desert level on the TFU hardcore server. Stuck AT Mines around then went up top and sniped. Must've destroyed about 10 Tanks by the time we won between the AT Mines and Mortar Strikes on tanks just sitting back doing nothing.
