The lav on bizar is meant to be counter by the other lav. Except this fails when your own team lav just drives off away from its inf leaving them vulnerable and your own lav less fixable...

They cut my cast off yesterday at the hospital so ill try to download the patch and jump back into bf3 from tomorrow.
 
Your PC is perfectly fine. A 6870 1GB, i7 920 etc. is capable of running the game on high (maybe one or 2 settings on medium and 2xAA) smoothly.

If anything it is most likely the game, have read that quite a lot of people have had a crash every game now since patch.


I had some very weird glitches for the graphics last night on kharg island, running around a few corners and some textures go pale blue like through the map or something, not sure if it is the patch or my GPU going (about 4 years old now :o) :p

I'm running a GTX260 in combo with an i5 2500k at 4.5Ghz with all low settings bar mesh quality that is on high, big maps play fine. If your CPU is at stock that could be your problem.

Well, I always make an attempt to get my c4 on the tanks (succeed pretty well, you just have to hide somewhere and wait for it to pass by you ;), or generally a jihad jeep is the best method! :D

It is obviously going to be a suicide mission if the person is running right in front of the LAV with no cover at all :p

But on bizaar it is very easy to get c4 on the tank if the person is going for flags e.g. C market flag and same for seine crossing.

I am not denying the reasons for people using vehicles now.

I play on general servers/public servers as well and so far every match, the tanks have been destroyed pretty much straight away, they have been lucky to even make it out of the spawn area due to jav users and aircraft. There was only one round where I was a machine gunner in the M1 abrams and we lasted for about 10 mins and then got instantly destroyed by the CITV missile :rolleyes:

Now imagine what it is going to be like on severs where you have a team/clan on TS that are organised regarding the jav and soflam or/and heli/jets, the tanks will be lucky if they even survive for any longer than 1 minute even if the pair in the tank were on TS as well, they still don't stand a chance.


Surely can you not see that the tanks are just useless now in their current state?

Don't get me wrong now, I hate tank whores as well and people that constantly rape in them every round and there is nothing more satisfying than delivering a jihad jeep into the back of them! :D But I don't want to see stupid things being done like what has been done to the tanks, it isn't realistic one bit now and as I said in the feedback about the patch, they might as well take them out of the game, if they are going to stay the way they are.

TBPH I wouldn't be surprised, if in the next few weeks we start to see people not bothering with them any more just like with the jets near the beginning when stingers etc. where more powerful and no pilots had flares or any other unlocks.



Unfortunately you can't do that any more :(

hi all

I'm having rather a problem bf3 on larger servers, I seem not to be able to play on anything bigger than 16 to 20 slots, I try servers with 30+ or 64 ect, but fps is in the teens, the lag is awful, my game keeps trying to catch up and jumps around ect.All this and im running the game on everything lowest settings all bells and whistles turned off. I believe the main specs of my computer are good enough to run medium to high? 69502gb iceQ, 4gb ddr3@1333 [email protected] and vista64 with 500gb+ free on hdd no virus issues at all . But regardless anything bigger than 16 slots just no good, any ideas? Should those specs be running bf3 at those settings with that performance, or is something a miss?

Thanks

Ah well fair enough, i'll try higher settings as said probably wont notice any difference. Maybe an OC then might notice a difference, I understand the q9550 is very good for that, although I have no idea how to go about it!

I think the tanks should have been dumbed down a bit, because they were clearly too powerful. I once put 3 pieces of C4 on one and it didn't destroy it. The effort it takes to get close to a tank, one piece should do it!
 
My take is the LAV rules on Bizar purely because hardly anybody plays as an engi on that. 2 or 3 engis could take the LAV out no problem.

Everybody is running around killing each other and just lets the LAV driver get away with big kills unless the other LAV takes him out.

I think it is much more of a level playing field on HC but that isn;t necessarily a good thing. One shot death means its easy for everybody to get a decent number of kills unless you are a complete dweb.

Sort of takes the skill factor out and I wonder how long the better players will keep playing now they can;t get 65:5 K/D's?

I am enjoying upping my pathetic K/D of 0.723 though ;)
 
The tank most likely had reactive armour on then. I always just place as much as possible just to be sure with the extra explosive damage perk! :p :D

IMO what would be best for tanks (completely stock) are as follows:

- 3 JAV to rear and sides to disable it, 4 to destroy
4 JAV to front to disable it, 5 to destroy

And one more rocket required for the RPG/smaw.

- 2 C4 on the rear/sides to completely destroy, 1 to disable
3 on the front to completely destroy, 2 to disable

- 2 mines to completely destroy and 1 mine to disable


DG will most likely disagree and say that only one rocket, 1 c4 etc. should completely destroy a tank and that an entire mag from the usas with frag rounds should destroy a tank! :p

really?? im sure 2 pieces will destroy ANY tank, maybe it lag/glitched and the c4 fell to the ground

True that as well regarding the LAV in bizaar (sorry jonny I meant bAzaar :p). Unless you really start to rape the team hard and are just killing them as soon as they spawn on the flag then I have noticed that they get rather ****** off and suddenly the entire team is eng. and are firing rockets from every direction :p

I don't think it is a level playing field at all now on HC (and I loved HC mode in BC 2 and in this game until the last patch :(), all the patch has done is rewarded campers for their play style even more now :(, every gun is a one shot kill essentially, so needless to say unless you're someone that camps in the same spot and doesn't go for objectives often, you're just going to get raped badly and end up doing complete and utter xxxx.

Like I said yesterday, all the previous nights on HC, I would most of the time be in the top 5 with at least a 1.5k/d and on my favourite maps like bizaar, caspian, canals, I would have around 2k/d or higher (not from vehicles, just pure infantry play), where as yesterday games on HC, bottom 10, less than 1k/d, killed as soon as you moved from cover and then on the softcore servers and I am back to my normal scores again.

Is it just me but the M320 now will totally destroy a 100% LAV in 3 shots whereas before it didn't harm them?
Click to expand...

I wouldn't be surprised if that is true now :rolleyes: Just shows how fragile tanks are if it is true.


And the m320 always did damage to tanks, just not as much before the patch.

EDIT:

Lol'd :D


Obviously staged though :p

It's so true though when using it against enemy vehicles. In future I don't think I'm going to even bother to try to run away, the risk of getting killed is way too high. It'll be a case of plant C4, commit suicide.
