No mobile AA on normal CQ and the stationary AA since the patch has just become a " lose your accuracy % " effort in futility. Dont play 64 player CQ as the maps just arent big enough.

Just spent another few minutes in the stationary AA and still did not hit a jet.
A few minutes in the AA and another 0.2 off my accuracy.
It was around 14% and ever since i have been trying to hit a jet with AA, bear in mind these jets arent far away, some are really close and still no hit marker. My accuracy is now down to 12.1 %
They changed the physics of the AA fire and now the rounds do not connect with any jet. Get in an AA and see for yourself, i'm not making this up. It wasn't easy to hit jets with the stationary AA anyway but now its nigh on impossible.
They increased the AA rating against infantry but accidentally nerfed it against aircraft.
Its an anti-aircraft gun for christs sake.

So thats why my accuracy is only at 6% or so still, bloody thing. :mad:

Worst evening for a long while, every time on the whipping boy team. About 8 different servers, not a whiff of teamwork in sight besides what was going on on the other team. Rush, Conquest, steam rolled every time. Sometimes the game can get it very right, good balance, back and forth.. Sometimes it can get it very, very wrong :(

Yeah, i hardly ever used the AA guns, might jump in if i got spawned to uncap by mistake, would at least hit a jet, get an assist bonus and wait for at least a jeep to spawn before i got back into the action.
Trying to hit a jet, let alone down one has taken off 2% in just two after work sessions.
 
Managed to take down about four jets in a round with the stationary AA but it did take ages to actually get the two kills required for the stationary ribbon. You basically have to wait until the Jet is very very close and then correctly lead the jet as it comes past. If you can get your teams jets to draw them to you then it helps. If you have to use the zoom button then you might as well forget it as it's not going to work.

Same as! Looking to buy Dead Island or Crysis 2 or something instead.
 
Bring down console by pressing ` beside 1, just type render.drawfps 1 (or was it renderer.drawfps 1). Auto complete will show you anyway xD. I prefer afterburner rather than the horrible green text in the top right that ain't very accurate.
 
Well I just saw something that made my blood boil.

I disabled a scout chopper, multiple times and u know what the pilot did each time? Simply changed to another seat and repair, while in the air. Each time he was up and running before he was even close to the ground.
 
had a game on beer drinkers earlier - was the worst round ive played so far, got steamrollered for several rounds till I gave up, rush doesnt seem to work on the big maps / people dont seem to know how to defend on the big maps
 
I was just trying out the reactive armour perk for the lav, its pretty funny looking, almost like someone has welded a few metal fence portions around it. Have to try and get a pic. :p

I know its only a game, but this makes it a mockery doesn't it? I'd imagine repairing a helicopter should at least require a landing first?
 
in bc2 i used to repair helichopters from the back seat - its just how it goes. but for me the whole repair mechanics are messes up a bit in bf3 - the tool repair s too much hp per second imo.
 
Great to see the tv missile is back in the game, 1 hit on my lav with reactive armour and i dropped instantly to around 39% health. :rolleyes:

I can only assume without it the damage would have been much worse.

I agree. I've lost several battles with tanks because even though I'm more accurate than my adversary, and putting more rounds on target, they've got an engineer in the back repairing faster than I can do damage.

Did no one test this out in development and think about the gameplay consequences? What if I'd also had an engineer, surely the fight would have gone on forever?
 
And as promised, the lav with reactive armour,

Looks like it ran through a scrapyard and came out with those stuck to it.

Think what made it worse was the guy was base raping, so the few times I yelled out "Got ya, ya *******!". It turns out in fact I didn't :rolleyes:

I personally didn't get all the whining about AA, because my honest question was what AA? I don't know if the servers I play on have them disabled or something, but I've rarly seen them. :confused:

What maps do actually have mobile AA?
