What server is the best do you guys reckon? I play on Ceres and have a level 13 TR, but tbh there isn't much mic use on here and as much teamwork as COD at times :p

Miller, by far! That server is always on fire, there are some really good TR outfits and a few NC outfits so there is always a good fight to be had.
 
So i nicely parked my sunderer, left it for a while while i fought at another base, went back to renew the timer when it was at 3 mins and it was gone. Vehicle was locked so no one stole it, couldn't find it anywhere. I had similar happen the other day but it reappeared in the same place but flat on the ground. This one vanished.

Really getting fed up with the rendering issues in this game.

I like to fly at ceiling and come down on my enemies from above, but it's really hard to find enemies when flying so high so you have to drop a bit every so often to find the battles.

You can easy fly over a huge battle and not know it, that's how crap the rendering distance is.

On a good note, I shot down so much enemy Air this evening in less then a hour, just one after a other, easy 10+ aircraft in a one spawn which is pretty good for me. I was doing so good that I thought I best stick on my 50% XP boost and soon as I did, I got killed. Pretty much jinxed myself.

Second time I flew up, I got a really good kill on this Reaver and then crashed into a god damn tree when I was pulling up. I honestly think sometimes the controls don't respond just like how with tanks can turn left when you turning right etc. :l

I started to cert into extra ammo for my main gun on the Mos since am using the main cannon for the first engagement then switching to A2A afterwards.

The Combat Frame for the Lightning is like night and day, really does turn and handle a lot better.

I would seriously rethink extra ammo for the cannon on the mos - and do it quickly because reload time is so much more important by the time you hit level 3 it outstrips the extended magazines and extra ammo. Just fire till you are empty and wait mere seconds before you have another full clip. It's all about damage over time and then retreating to restock your ammo.

If you want to go extra magazine size, the only place this really matters is a2a missiles or the g2g rockets on aircraft. If you want to go extra ammo, you need to work out your playstyle and balance running out of cannon ammo and missile ammo so you roughly run out of both at the same time - then go reload on a A-Bay.

Just my experience as you can only fit one or the other. I speced into magazine size - switched to reload time and get much better results - i.e. more bullets over time which makes all the difference when dogfighting as you never get that awful reload, it almost becomes a constant hail of lead by the top levels.

Just make sure you have your personal waypoint on the nearest air bay to reload and while you are doing so, you can repair.

Just go reload time on all your vehicle weapons, except a2 missiles, g2g rockets, or the lib bombs and get ready to retreat when you are empty.

Hmm, will have to think about that. I guess it's the same thing in the end but I like the idea of having more ammo in my gun because Libs and Galaxies have so much HP, I don't mind the reload since you switch weapons while the other is reloading.

I look into it anyway.

That's a nice idea about the waypoints, I always stick mine on the Warpgate so I know where am coming from and where everything is.

I flew towards enemy Warpgates far too often lol
 
So stopped playing at 08:30 after playing all night and morning on Miller, conquered Amerish then Esamir and back to Amerish again all under the control of TR.

VS on Esmair put up the hardest fights, there was two spots where whole platoons was fighting each other but TR won the day twice.

There was times where I wanted to ragequit but I kept with it and played on, in the end, I took control of our Air units in our platoon and we were doing pretty well among ourselves.

Made 250+ certs, there are like four things I really want to spend it on, my flash, my lightning, prowler and what I really was saving up for was my Mos for 8 more rounds to my main gun.

But since am half way to 500, maybe I should save them for level 3 Flares, kinda tempted to spend them on reducing the timer to get my Mos too, but I think it's going to be the flares, it be my first 500 purchase.

How do you set up your controls for flying?
I used to be a pretty good pilot in PS1 but can't get the hang of it this time.
Apart from being crap with aircraft this is the best game I've played in a long time.

Had someone try that to me before, I was perplexed at 1st, who the hell wants to get a Vanguards attention with small arms fire? Then it dawned on it.

Think I annoyed him because I just sat there ignoring him, since all he was doing was scratching my paint.
The he got cocky and started jumping around in the road, so he took a H.E.A.T round to the face. :p

Going from the crown to alloys is the worst place in the game i think. You can get half way across the bridge with it seemingly empty and all of a sudden 100 infantry and 30 tanks appear on screen. Pointless even trying to snipe in certain places let alone use tanks/aircraft.
 
**** this game :mad:

Had a sunderer set up at the crown just as we were about to get attacked by an enemy zerg. XP is rolling in. Game crashes and when i log back in it no longer recognises it as being my sunderer even though it's still there. What a shambles.
