that's all i use, pressing S as you try to turn is supposed to make you turn quicker as i understand it, are you using your mouse enough to turn it ?
Currently as long as you respawn or can find ammo you can put down as many AT mines as you want, in BC2 the oldest ones started disappearing after 6 but for some reason this doesn't.
Up to 50% regeneration is fine when vehicles get disabled at 50 health, if it was 40 or 30 then it would be more reasonable for auto regen to only repair up to a certain amount, currently if you're firing stingers at a helicopter you're forcing him to dump flares and try and get away from danger, if you're just giving up after the first stinger then you can't really complain about them being useless.
Basically infantry aren't meant to and shouldn't be able to solo aircraft. Try what someone suggested on battlelog, have people at different capture points so you can always get a lock.
Stingers are meant to support the air units by doing some damage \ getting a disable and making the pilot and gunner dump flares, I'd take a look at the air units on your own team if they aren't doing their job, also your mobile AA gun which shouldn't just be sat back in base.Stingers are now worthless, it was bad enough bringing down aircraft pre-patch when they had flares and stealth, now its pointless even trying.
Apparently at Dice the idea of fixing something is to totally destroy something else.
They need to reset the stinger damage, and either make flares take longer to reload or make the stinger missile travel faster Otherwise wtf is the point of having them in the game? Just so it can set alarms off while pilots laugh knowing it has a snowballs chance in hell of connecting, and even if it does they can just fly away and regenerate their health (another amazing addition).
Anyone else remember when it was revealed on battlelog about the regenerating vehicles dice stated it would only regenerate light damage? Since when was 50% "light"? Apparently in cuckoo land, aka Stockholm Sweden it is..

Man, some of the people you find on public servers havent got a clue. 32 man server, 10 out of the 16 on my team werent in a squad. Even after telling them to squad up, they still didnt do it.
And guess what, we didnt win, theres a surprise.

The not being auto joined into a squad really let's you see how many people who play this game are retards.

TBH ive seen loads of squads that have been locked with 2 players in so not much you can do about that.
Sure but there's also plenty of empty ones whenever I look in the squad screen, obviously I don't think people are stupid for joining a squad if the literally can't.

Seen quite a few of the 2 man squads, doesnt make a great deal of sense, its great having a squad of 4 players, all with different squad specialities. First thing i check when i squad up is what specs they are using.
By locking it to 2 players, i guess they are just gonna be using 2 man vehicles and they dont want anybody spawning into their precious spare seat that they are saving for ther squad mate.

been there thats why i wanted to get into a platoon or clan or whatever theyre called as it would mean playing with people that actually understand that its teamwork that wins the game.
Nothing worse than someone spawning in your tank or helicopter when you're repairing and then refusing to get out.

But how often does that happen in a nights session?? By having a 2 man squad you are still less likely to win against against a squad of 4.
Depends on the game mode but when you see 2 man squads in CQ, they will not be taking the caps as much as a squad of 4.
2 man chopper / gunner combo however is a different story. Get the right pair of players in a chopper and its owning time.
To fly a jet you must realise that they can basically only bank left or right and climb or descend. So to turn your jet around you first need to bank to the side by moving the mouse to the side. Whilst doing that you can then pull down on the mouse and you'll start to turn. Using A or D allows you to veer slightly to the sides. W and S speed or slow you. S is useful if you want a bit more time to shoot something, or to manoeuvre tighter.
also loadout and custiamztion screen upon spawn is much better in bfbc2
wtf were thy thinking
but if the 2 of you are going to spend all game in a helicopter or a tank, you aren't going to be competing with squads of 4.
I'm perfectly fine with tank squads and helicopter squads of 2 men. They are useless squad mates anyway, as they are never anywhere near where you are, never going to give you health / ammo and you can never spawn on them as the vehicle doesnt have any spare seats.
On busy conquest large servers with 64 players, there isn't enough squads to do this, which is a problem, but in that situation you should maybe have 2 tank squads in there.
