I love gaming and I never pretend to be any good at it; but BF3, plus a good server (like Smogsys) and good squad team work is exhilaratingly point generatingly awesome. Had such a great couple of hours on there today, supporting the good players with Ammo and health and developing a better rounded tactical mindset for it.
Please people, get in squads and stick with your team! It not only helps you to win, but gets points and is more fun than being a Rambo idiot!

Games really starting to bore the **** out of me, seems that every server i join lately im put on a team that is somehow getting beat by a massive margin, just now i was in a kharg server, 415 us tickets vs 90 russian tickets. Its really obvious that most people playing this are playing it like call of duty, wins or losses be damned have to spank the monkey to my kdr instead of capping flags. 
And we can't forget the fact that thanks to this derp worthy patch which quite clearly received no gameplay testing whatsoever, tanks are literally useless on some maps as a helicopter with its gun and rockets can take a tank down to being disabled in literally seconds. Theyve no stingers to worry about anymore (good move dice) so they're owning the maps on some servers with impunity.

Two crashes mid game where the game freezes, both on Operation Firestorm, both times in a jet, get a vehicle disabled message after taking out a jet and then bam, ctrl alt and del to close the bloody game.
The only two mid game crashes i have had, both post patch.

Conquest large is for 64man and it has more capture points. I don't think it matters what you play, i played 64man conquest for my first 25levels.
Like Nex20 said, CQ 64 is bigger and has more capture points. The killer is that it also has more jets and choppers, and often has an AA vehicle as well, plus there will be more infantry carrying around Stingers. That makes it much harder to learn to fly on.

I play Caspian Border a lot as like you said the small maps to often have one team owning the other if are 64 player servers. Maybe you should try 32 player on the smaller maps which works better.
I love the attack Helicopter and have unlocked everything on them and I can't understand why Dice basicly beefed them as I was doing just fine before. But trying to take a land vehicle out when it has the Reactive Armour is really hard as I've found out today!!
Because from the looks of things don't play their own game, they just sit and alter values and more times than not it goes **** up. Id love to know what kind of discussion came out with the conclusion of "yeah we should nerf anti air to appease the day 1 complaints, but we should also beef up the aircraft". If dice hadn't such a hardon for unlocks then it would never have been an issue, but they basically created this problem themselves with their insistance that everything needs to be unlocked, including stuff that should be standard like flares.
Now to wait another month or more for the next patch that will probably screw things up further..

Just wait until you get beam scanning. They're even more underwhelming then, because you're using two slots for one useless weapon.
Spot on. This fixing.
I also dont like the fact it now takes two stinger hits to take down a jet.
It always took two Stingers to down a jet.
I achieved something amazing today: I ran over myself with my own buggy.

EDIT:
They're great for taking down other jets and disabling anything bigger than a jeep. So they're handy for anti-tank warfare.
Re:: Learning to fly:: There are several servers with large maps like Caspian, Firestorm and Kharg with just 6/8/12/16 slots set up. Quite often someone will use the AA and spoil the fun but it's good for unlocking vehicles. But crippled since the minimum player 4 thing though. Search for Flying or Practise or School.
Keeping it interesting My initial goal with BF3 is to get all ribbons (only M-COM defender left. Further goal is to get all medals (M-COM ones will be the hardest, stationary weapons the most boring). I'd also like to get all the Dogtags and thats why all guns get used up to 500 kills. I won't cheat or use exploits to get me there either.
I got all pins and badges and stuff in BC2 (even the Mines) and I enjoyed the journey and getting experience of different roles so thought that even though the task is much harder with BF3 it'll keep me occupied for a while. I don't care much about KD.

Why did they buff choppers? A good pilot could own just fine before. That didn't need changing 
On a positive note I am getting far less problems when joining server. It works most times now!
Grenades remain once you die. I've got a kill like that.

Do you get extra dog tags for extra service stars? I've three stars with the M416 but haven't noticed any new tags. Or do you just get it for the 500th kill?
Yes. Sorry let me clarify. Before i would hit a jet with a stinger and after 1 shot get vehicle disabled. Then if he was still flying it, it would require one more for the kill. Now it takes two shots before it gets vehicle disabled. This makes it almost impossible to get a kill, the jet just flys away out of range.
