One experience I should post about

Smogsy and I on mumble and trying to take out annoying chopper piolets with stingers.
I lock and launch and hit him, smogsy locks launches and disables and the chopper flying towards us starts to do the thing where it rolls to one side after you disable it, hits a phone pole or something like that, EXPLODES right in front of us, with the chasis rolling straight over our heads.

I LOVE how cinematic it is when stuff like that happens.

my average lifespan in a tank is usually about 34 seconds. Seeing as practically everyone is an Engineer.

How do you add it as a non steam game?

I have tried adding the bf3 exe to steam but it doesn't work?

Greg0986 · 14 Dec 2011 at 17:16

Why do I get this message when I try and play BF3 online on the new maps?

you are missing content from the game.

Spyke_UK · 14 Dec 2011 at 17:16

Add Origin as a non Steam game and start Origin through Steam, the Steam overlay and screenshot function then works in BF3.

I use reactive armour and thermals when I'm in a tank. Makes it much easier to see all the pesky engineers and the reactive armour keeps you alive a bit longer as they can't disable you in one hit to the rear

Filling up the UKCS server atm if you want to come on CQ & CQ Assault on all maps

Tackle_Berry · 14 Dec 2011 at 17:45

Get fully unlocked with the tanks and you have the option of the 3rd seat in the tank, the laser targeter. Not the range of the soflam but still a very good option to have.
Always have the javeiln equipped when in a tank in case i swap seats, someone else occupies the 3rd seat, get out and javelin the crap out of whatever has been lit up. Doesnt always happen that way, depends on your squad / team mates.
Always check with the driver of the tank what unlocks they have got, swapped over seats a few times because i have reactive armor and the original driver didnt.

Server patch R15 has just been rolled out to a few GSP's if anyone is interested. KC is one of them.

well I think it helps if there is 2 of you in tank and one has repair kit.

But last night me and this dude owned the whole of Oman in 1 tank. must have captured 8 flags...there and back...and disabled 5+ enemy vehicles and made 20 kills between us before we were finally destroyed...that was a 32 player server.

Then we went in Chopper and done similar.

Maybe I was just lucky last night but I seemed to dominate with vehciles even on Sharqi and Wake also.

Are vehicles improved for b2k?
