Not sure i like the thrustmaster with a massive throttle, will take up too much desk space, though that one is on ocuk as its the one i noticed on the site and thought maybe. Like the price but i think i prefer a small thrust paddle like on the logitech one.
 
The're enough OcUK tagged players who'll jump a jeep/tank/chopper at the start and ride off alone, though...

ive played a few hours on the bronken server and i was asking for ammo and the support guy was right in front of me i was asking for it and following him it was like he was ignoring him.

cant there be a ocuk server where we can have rules so these things dont happen then we have a more team based game?
 
Just jumped on one of the large conquest servers and had a blast. Some very good players and some excellent team work going on *tips hat*. Looking forward to more action over the weekend.

he wasnt ignoring you, the game is bugged - that support player had no idea you were asking for stuff even if you were doing it. you have more chance of a team in COD then this tbh.

Yeh that can be annoying. I think Im fairly good an wait for most people.

I've not managed to hook with any fellow Overclockers yet, I usally end up on the opposite side.

Mind, I only play Conquest so I'm probably not even in the right game mode.

Hope to be fighting on the same side soon!

If anyone is interested in playing together as a team please feel free to add me on battlelog username Distorted84UK.
 
Its not that hard, need to lift and reposition the mouse quite a bit.

It just amazes me in playing this how stealth and flares makes a weapon totally useless, even the lock on sound inside the jet changes when the missile has actually been launched basically telling the pilot "now you can pop flares".


Id love to know what type of drug fueled decision making is going on over at dice, if anything the stinger needs to be faster and the flare reload needs to longer to actually give stingers a chance, the pilots then will still have the crutch of an obscenely long lock on time courtesy of stealth and a sound telling them when the missile has been fired. Dunno why they just didn't give the Jets an invisible shield and be done with it. :rolleyes::mad:



You need to remember you are not the only one with AA capabilities, if it was easy enough for you and you alone to take out a jet, then imagine a 64 player server. Get real.
 
Does anyone have info on a patch? I would like to know if they are going to beef up the Laser Guided Missiles for the choppers and jets. At the moment they are so underpowered they arent worth using.
 
Fantastic game, but jets seem utterly pointless. The maps are far too small to accommodate them. They are too fast to engage ground targets effectively so all you can do is dogfight other jets (which, if you dont have flares/ATA missiles, is incredibly difficult).

I'd really like to see more really big opens maps with no jets and more transport helicopters. I think it's actually really fun playing bus driver and ferrying squads into battle with a pair of competent door gunners, but alas, most transport choppers seem to fall prey to jets and attack choppers far too easily to see this sort of play.

I take the view that jets are there really to just take out choppers, which in turn bother ground units, who in turn have some AA capabilities - Rock Paper Scissiors imo.
 
Biggest killstreak I had in BF2 was in a blackhawk, with 2 excellent gunners and 2 passengers (1 medic, 1 engineer).

1 was laying down repairing minor damage to the chopper and the other was chucking medpacks out the back :D
 
Heard that lots of people are hacking in this game. Many come across them?

Thankfully it's incredibly easy to tell now, as well as being easy to deal with - you can simply look up the soldier names on the battlelog, and if their stats are immediately suspect, you can pass the information on to EA support.

Iv seen tons of people get kicked on the Bronken and TFU 64 man conquest servers, shocking tbh.

Hope these people get banned from multiplayer all together and not just the servers.

"Get real" nothing. Even with multiple people attempting a lock on when the jet pops its flares it disengages all the locks, or at the least your launcher tries to lock onto the flares, and with the stealth perk by the time a lock is reaquired and the missile fired flares are available once again, so you get into a loop of locking on, flares being popped, getting the lock back, flares again being popped.

I was flying around caspian earlier and i musta been locked onto over 30 times and not once did a missile even come close to hitting me, every time they got a missile fired at me because of stealth delaying the lock i had flares available. Its utterly stupid to say the least, at the minute the only people being taken out are people with no flares unlocked yet.

And the only answer dice has to this is to make stingers even less effective? Great, might as well not even bother trying to take down Jets.
