I think the only way to take one out is with C4, a real pain in the ass I know. Maybe a few tank rounds will do the job, I've never had chance to try it.

Never seen one been taken out, and I've tried all sorts!!

It would be better if they balanced them out a bit. Have a longer reload time, or quicker over-heat. Perhaps make them destructable but give them a respawn timer. As said, On Noshahr canals the US centurion can easily wipe out any air assets on that map, and it doesn't help with having a flight ceiling of 250m! It's ridiculously low to the extent that jets shouldn't be implemented in my opinion!

On 32 man size it's quite fun, as the US get two littlebirds. I think these are much more fun as they're dead easy to take down, a right laugh to chuck around when behind the controls of one and they can transport from A to B quite quickly.

Saying that, I unlocked the TV Missile for the Attack Helicopters last night, and messed around with it on some near-empty servers. It's fun, but buggy as hell! About 30% of the time when fired, it "hit" the chopper I was firing from, taking out both me, the pilot, and the chopper... Quite annoying to say the least...
If you try the BF2 trick of seat-swapping, you'll generally fall to the ground quicker than you can hit a target.
If you fire the missile and then swap back to pilot (just wanted to see what it did), you'll be left with a floating missile in the air, with your name above it. Quite amusing to begin with I have to admit - confused a lot of people that started shooting at it haha! :D
 
I must admit i really do miss a good few rounds of rush on valparasio :( are any BFBC2 servers still up?

I just find this game lacks the frantic gameplay of BC2
 
i hope so mate, i just dont find bf3 as frantic as BC2. I would play it for hours without realizing but i find myself getting a bit bored of this rather quickly
 
I've also been experiencing some problems when I run for cover upon taking contact. I'll run for cover and take a few hits, then once behind cover I'll jump backwards out into the open - dead. On my screen I'm behind cover, on theirs (enemy) I mustn't be. It seems to be worse when standing up and looking over cover, then seeing an enemy and dropping down prone and somehow dying in the animation.

Does anybody experience this? I'm usually playing on servers with a ping below 150ms.

It can be very annoying at times.

always play on a server that is higher ping, I am based in sweden, so I dont play in swedish servers (11ms or so)due to people with higher ping gets a silly advantage its just sad.
so, since the game is nood adapted its the higher ping player that see your face and body still even if your think your behind cover.
I got shot, standing behind a wall, 1 second after.
That is silly in any fps game.

I try to find servers with 40-80ms for me where the game to a extent makes the playfield even.
Noobs who cant even aim gets rewarded by high ping just sucks IMO ;)
 
The base aa weapons including the ship one can be killed by one TV missile or a few shots from an APC, those are the only two things I've tried.
 
Really not getting the hate in here! Yes a few things are a little unbalanced but it's nothing that can't be solved with a good patch. Same for a few servers being a bit sparse.. Once the depth of MW3 has been discovered (being the same as MW1 and 2, that will likely be any moment now), and people need an FPS as there alternate to Skyrim, they'll start populating again.

I certainly hope that happens anyway, because IMO this is the best online warfare experience by miles.
 
Was playing a game last night on canals and there was one person who just sat in the turret on the aircraft carrier, dice really need to change that thing as he was shooting almost to the other base in that thing and there is no way of taking it out.

Two TV missiles from attack chopper deal with it, call me if you need it doing.:D

Frantic?! Play some Grand Bazaar on 64 player. For real frantics, do it on hardcore and watch the mortar-whores.

Enjoy. :p

no offence but not a lot of challengers so it sets the bar a bit low.

and most of the hate is because its nowhere close to the game it COULD have been if ea/dice hadn't chickened out and made it for the console :(.

This, hopefully with some patches and back to karkand we will get a truer battlefield experience.
 
on bc2 i could rack up 30-40 kills on one map fairly regularly on bf3 important lucky to get 15+...the game is not as action packed for sure.

Depends entirely how you play.

On more than one occasion I've finished a Rush match on Metro with over 80 kills as an attacker. It's entirely down to your play style, what game-type you're playing, and of-course, how good you actually are at the game.

Yeah I experience this issue. Very annoying when you are clearly behind cover!
