I didn't realise you could go that far from the capture points on that map!

That hill looks a prime spot for the mobile AA if you want to take out the choppers and protect the flags.

Last night I tried out that 3rd seat in a tank perk (forget its proper name), well disappointed to find I have no weapons to shoot from it, just a lock on sight and a thermal image. As for the lock on utility, who/what am I locking on for ? Is it for anything that can utilize a lock, like stingers, or is it just for the guided missile that the tank guys get ?

PS. For info, my lad helped me to achieve membership to that elite group of mass murderers who use the F2000 non stop. I haven't tried it yet but will be doing so later and YES I will be using the irnv when I unlock it....if you can't beat them and all that :p

So yeah, any of you guys I may have been a little hasty in having a sideswipe at in battle, due to using this combo.....you can now have a go back at me :D

Yes it is a cheap combo....but its ok now I have it :p

The 3rd seat works best if your tank driver has guide missiles as you can lock on/designate targets for him, more importantly air targets basically its a SOFLAM a good tactic is to have the driver & gunner to carry Javlin missiles once you lock to target the gunner can jump out and fire while the driver uses his guided missiles. If the target has not seen you yet once the driver fires his guided missiles he can jump out and use his Javlin too its great for killing helicopters.
 
Hi guys

Do you know where i would find the following command?

GameTime.MaxVariableFps

I want to limit my FPS to around 45-50 to make my game a little smoother

Thanks a mill
 
anyone have a problem whereby the in game menus don't accept mouse input, try to click on entries and nothing, have to hit enter, so can't move up to the tabs to customise loadouts :(

liam:

not sure if it's still usable after the recent updates, but theres posts about user.cfg files or similar, i've tried some of the settings listed and it limited the fps ,according to the ingame fps display anyway.
 
Ive never understood why everything anti air is being nerfed, as a pretty average plane pilot and a average/rubbish chopper pilot i think i have been killed by the aa tank like twice and ive never been killed by a stinger, you hear the beeps you flee, as you have stealth it takes a month to lock on and on the rare occasion that you are not out of range by the time they actually lock you still have your flares to use anyway.

How they could have actually been made worse than this is beyond me.
 
Well last nite i could have quite easily dropped the game, nothing i tried would let me join a server, i tried everything from a fresh install to turning off my firewall!

Anyways turned out that i needed to download a specific pbsv file and re-install everything... not happy!

After 3 hours of trying and a new install i finally got on... my game gfx settings and had reset to high. After 5 mins of playing i wasn't that impressed with the graphics and thought they were a bit blurry and meeeh... so dropped all the settings to low while still on 1920x1080 and found it far more pleasant on the eyes!

Any1 else prefer to play with the settings on low?
 
Lol I reckon further patches are just gonna mess up this game further!!


It is like making a painting which was somewhat ok and then adding or removing further colours/drawing objects etc and completely changing the original essence of the painting :p:D

Had it once or twice before and after patch, but on a similar note had a new one last night when i got revived by my squad medic where the deploy screen popped up and was stuck on 4 seconds to deploy :eek: whilst i was still alive, after 2-3 mins of pressing all keys in the end i just asked the enemy to come and kill me :p then after i died it went back to normal.
Tryed to take a screenshot with printscrn button but when i opened paint shop pro it just captured a blackscreen doh! will use fraps next time i guess

Good post, I agree. The stinger is pretty much useless, the only thing it wis good for is taking out those flying robot thingies.
 
That's just a good player...nothing odd with that

Bare in mind it all comes into, where he plays...how often, who with etc etc

Apart from the veichles..my stats and my friends stats are quite similar to that.

He has also played 158 hours...what do you expect
