As is the game itself, far too many bugs and wtf moments in it, airpower is incredibly overpowered, they may as well just redesign the tank into a coffin shape as you don't last any length of time at all against helicopters now. 1 single pass is all an attack heli needs to totally destroy a tank regardless of what perks you have.
As for bugs some of the more common ones im seeing:
Dying for absoloutely no reason and being told "bad luck". Occurs in a massive variety of situations.
Flying along in an aircraft and suddenly hearing the missile launched sound with no previous hint that someone was even trying to lock onto you. Whether this is soflam related ive no idea, just seems to occur randomly, even at maxed altitudes.
Numerous sound bugs in the game, sometimes i'll be standing around and hear the parachute deployment sound yet theres nobody around me even using it. Also Vehicles sounds seem delayed when you get into them sometimes.
Running along then suddenly stopping like you ran into a wall, which then seems to disable movement, usually have to prone and get back up to be able to get moving again.
General glitchiness of the "vault" animation, some simple jumps seem to take multiple attempts.
This old chestnut from BC2 is back, tanks firing at you and clearly missing your vehicle in thirdperson mode, but it somehow registers a hit on your vehicle as if its 3 times wider or taller than it actually is.
Getting behind cover and being there for a second or 2 and still dying thanks to the client hit detection.
I've started to experience this. Does anyone have any idea what causes it?
That's irritating me as well. Sometimes I wonder if it's my sound dropping out again: I'm using an onboard sound module and it occasionally drops random sounds from the game for a bit. I wonder if it drops the lock on noise, but when the missile gets locked on the sound gets "updated" and it picks it up again.
As for the choppers, get your Stinger out!
Just taken one out single handedly on Noshar Canals. Underpowered my foot...

When it does work, it's pretty good. Also running it on ultra here and it runs fine with no stutter etc. Just so many little niggles that need to be sorted. My main problem being the freezing error, ive had it at stock and oc'd, tried a single gpu, swapped out the 470's for a pair of 460's i have as well. Always get this annoying freeze once a night.
As for the choppers, get your Stinger out!
Probably a pilot that hadn't much of a clue what he's doing, people that really whore the choppers are incredibly hard to take down, both pilot and copilot running stealth and having 2 sets of flares to deploy. May as well spit at them as theyre not gonna be taken down with a stinger.
The only people that seem to be taken down by a stinger are easy to spot, as most of the time theyre not running stealth which usually means theyve not got it yet, the quick lockon as opposed to the 45 minute stealth delayed lock on is a good indicator if you're likely to be able to take them down.

lucky your not in the 84% that do have problems
http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-3-pc/1449020-do-you-experience-crashes-freezes-lock-ups-battlefield-3-poll.htmlThey weren't top notch pilots but they definitely weren't muppets. I'd also question how many times you get the pilot and co pilot both with flares: for the gunner that means losing your optics which really ain't great, especially on maps like Caspian or Firestorm. At any rate, even in a jet I find it a hell of a lot harder to take down Hueys, although granted that's usually because they have two engineers in the back repairing them (I'm looking at you, Greebo and Andromedoh!).
Anyway, moan at your AA and pilots. If you're having that much trouble with them the pilots on your team aren't working hard enough.

Most of these don't bother me however. They just make me laugh.
The vault animation is a prime example. It only happens occasionally and i can't really say it bothers me, same with the sound bugs etc..

It's probably 84% because the people whose game work don't run to the forums to tell the world about it. Most people on there would have problems tbh, otherwise they would be playing the game.

Friend i play with gets to connect to 1 in 10 servers. Disconnected from EA something something is his error its getting frustrating to wait 10 mins to find a game.
May not bother you but they bother plenty of others, these coupled with the general flakiness of the game in regards to crashes and server connectivity make it even more of a headache.
