Think I am also going to switch aircraft (at least jets anyway) to thermal camo, the amount of lock ons is crazy.

Not sure about jets but on helis you really need to use both ecm jammer and stealth they are a bit meh on their own without the other and for best effect flown a specific style (which I suck at).
 
Interesting recent thread on symthic on the subject of LAV and AA loadouts..

http://forum.symthic.com/battlefield-4-general-discussion/10490-zbd-09-loadout/

Pretty much agree.

This made me laugh about the LAV loadout:

TOW missiles are pretty much obligatory—if you use Zunis, everyone's going to laugh at you.

Ahem, Smrtka :D

I use the HE shells rather than the slightly more effective against armor APFSDS-T as I'm carry a TOW and need a more effective way of killing infantry which the HEs allow for due to their splash damage. I've found that thermal optics on silk road is a mistake though. But so is playing that map IMO.

I think its dangerous to fly attack chopper without stabiliser.... but I'm not good at flying so I donno...

Why do you think I get so excited when I do get the hit? You get real satisfaction from landing the TOW on a moving heli at distance. That and the 3-5 bang if you're lucky! :D

I wanna be like Xin! :)

First time I used zunis I took aim at a tank and let rip only to watch them all land half way between me and the tank. I think the only way I could have killed him at this point was with laughter!
 
I use zunis and it doesn't stop me from rekting LAVs equipped with TOWs ;) :p :D


Need a new mouse too, can't really see anything I like the look of except the g900 but I'm not paying £125 for a mouse... Was looking at the G502 but I am too use to the lightness of the zowie fk 1 now + I quite like the plug and play without having to faff about with software/drivers, just want something that is a bit more ergonomic and with lighter/more responsive buttons!

I don't think stealth is as important for helis tbh, you can hide behind a lot of objects/buildings very well and get to said cover very quickly on most maps especially on the likes of siege, dawnbreaker, even more so with the little bird. The gyro stabiliser is pretty good, although it has been ages since I tested without it so not sure if aircraft gets as big of a mobility hit as before... The jets when hit without that unlock go completely out of control and against a good pilot can get you instantly killed or when doing a deep strafe, make you lose control where you can't pull back up.

Jets on the other hand, you don't really have any option but to fly out of the lock on range or you could fly really low or something...

And yes ECM jammer for helis at all times. I prefer flares for jets, quicker and guaranteed to break lock ons + the only time you really need ECM is when going against a really good pilot but even then it is rather easy to keep track of them with the smoke trail it leaves behind.

That's the problem. They're pretty good if you're in range, but outside of their range you're a sitting duck.

They're very good on an AA though where you don't have a gunner to swat infantry, and you don't have the option of a TOW for anti vehicle.

If you are in range they are effective, but at distance you have to turn and run ;)

The logitech mice become pretty much plug and play once you've set them up to your liking (The mouse remembers your settings). I tend to uninstall their software suite after setting up. I will admit the G502 is heavier than I expected when all the weights are removed though.

you can still get zowie somewhere else, I do like my ec1-a..

Zunis work in a distance if you know the drop, its not hard, they are not good against aircrafts tho...

There is a trade off there but after about 20 hours or so of flying I found I could do without stabiliser 90% of the time - I've always been quite good at stuff like skid recovery though naturally so not sure how well that translates to general experience.

LB has a fair degree of mobility which can make that point debatable but on attack chopper it can be far more useful obviously at the end of the day a certain amount will come down to the skill and style of individuals.

On an unrelated note had a game on lockers alternating between MP7 and ACW-R - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/battlereport/show/1/743804009167113984/917377806/ MP7 was wrecking at times but had to put a fair bit more thought into what I was doing as a few times it left me in bad positions heh the ACW-R was much more forgiving.

Think I might run the ACW-R a bit as I was having much less "hitreg" issues with it for some reason fair few times was having problems even right up in people's faces with the MP7 while the ACW-R was like the G18 where I was getting much closer results between what I thought I should be hitting and what I actually hit.

I am use to the drop of explosives/weapons with all the love boat whoring/30m cannon and especially since all I ran for the first 200 hours or so was HE in the tank so yeah drop = meh to me :p

Might switch to TOW for a bit, although I very rarely use LAVs anyway....

It is all about tactical defending and letting my enemies come to me on my ground :p Never play to your enemies strengths but to their weaknesses instead ;)

Ah didn't know that you could do that, shame the weight is still an issue for me though. Really like the deathadder but their QC is **** and barely last 2 years not to mention the buttons lose their clicky feedback rather quickly.
 
Got myself a new mouse, just testing it in the Test Range, feels lovely.

Got the G502, setup is easy Nexus, took me about 5mins and it's fine now. The standard weight is very light, to the point I've used the extra weights that come with it to beef it up!
