Lol, it really is quite funny just how OP the jets are and how weak the tanks are now.

I am not a great pilot, however, not the worst, only use keyboard. On operation firestorm the tanks were just getting destroyed as soon as they came out of the base in one fly by using rockets :p And then I had the AA, heli on my tail taking bits of damage, but just simply fly away somewhere and wait for regen, lol. Needless to say impossible to take a not so great pilot in a jet down (or maybe the other pilots were just pure xxxx and there team was full of noobs :p), so imagine what it is like to take a pretty good pilot down let alone a very skilled pilot.

And then this is what happens, when the other team is full of noobs who don't know how to use a jav/RPG :rolleyes:

:D


Must say though I am loving the one shot instant kill against helis now :D A couple of guys who think they were pro last night were flying real low to the ground and doing fancy xxxx whilst wiping infantry/tanks out etc. out comes my RPG and BOOM! (twice) And then got to love the tank's shells against helis as well :D


Lastly, RPK and PKP, just lol.......

+1 for bringing down helis with the main tank gun. Ive only managed it a few times mind. Last time was a few nights ago on caspian, hopped into the tank at antenna, waited for a chopper that was circling to come in a bit closer. Had to lead it a fair bit, but got it with one shot. Ive even managed one with the m320, pure luck. A few times ive tried it against transport choppers, only to see the round fly straight through the side doors. Then its time to run and hide.:D
 
anyone up for some co-op right now?

not played co-op yet but consider myself a decent player

Sem-XL if your interested
 
Couldn't kill this guy at all even with a DAO to the face, up the stairs in the face bang bang bang and i'm dead in one hit same bloke 5 times to my 0. Yet me it was instant death!. His ping was 100 mine was 12 so i just left!
 
This shooting at a 90' angle while suppressed is still annoying me. ****es me of that I can still line my target up with the money shot eyes and yet my bullets don't fire straight...

Suppression is working as intended and I think it's fine as it is.

Stop expecting to kill someone who got the drop on you or when being actively suppressed.

What did you expect playing on softcore servers?
 
I know, but that just makes it even more funny considering this is how the game is "supposed" to be played according to DICE :p

EDIT:

Nonetheless I am not bothered as I am starting to be an aircraft whore since there ridiculously OP :D :p
 
Okay so now that the patch has been out a few days and I've put a good few hours into it, I'll reshare what I've learned from how I play the game and the pros and cons that come with it.

Firstly, the support class should be called assault, as they actively change any battle now with supression effects. Metro is a great example of how 2 or 3 support guys can actively push back an entire team just using supression as its just easy picking for the rest of the team. Due to this, I've been getting even higher scores than normal as recon, which is what I play 90% of the time.

Shotguns have been heavily nerfed by the looks of it, however DOA12 appears to be the new USAS from what I've seen in the last 5 hours of play. The recoil on it is no where near as extreme as the usas, nor the jackhammer. Not tried either personally, yet I've seen hundreds (literally) of people using the DOA12 since the patch whilst it was barely seen before it.

Sniper rifles are a mixed bag though sadly, with the M98B have some extremely odd accuracy issues which could be down to lag, yet switching to the M40A5 or the L96 and doing the same shots on the same target result in hits, which baffles me. However, the L96 with an acog sight, which was great for smaller scale fights is now pretty much useless. A headshot with it DOESN'T kill someone, which is a complete joke. Not tried the M40A5 or the SVD with the acog yet, but the M98B also has strange accuracy issues with the acog, just like any other scope (specifically 8x). I've seen more people using semi auto sniper rifles lately such as the M39, which is actually pretty good since the patch.

MAVs are still a massive issue and MAV riding hasn't be eliminated as first thought :S Seen people on metro and strike at karkand MAV riding and killing people via roadkill with them just like before, which is seriously lame in my opinion (and most other peoples).

I'm liking the changes to tanks in terms of how much damage they take to be destroyed as they are the bane of my life playing BF3 as recon. Engineers are quite well balanced now and make a nice all round class to play, but I think their weapons are just rubbish. The SG553 is amazingly inacurate and the damage is pathetic. Compare this to any of the PDWs like the MP7 or RP90 which are vastly more accurate weapons, even whilst full auto and there is quite a seriously issue there.

The L85 unlock from the assignments as an assault guy was a very good weapon pre patch, now its overpowered. Used it a few times myself and its far too strong for whats required really, especially compared to some of the other rifles. The M16A3 in single shot is amazingly powerful still and potentially needs scaling down, seen as I can drop plays sniping with that faster than I can with one of the bolt action rifles, which is a little far fetched, especially at the same range lol.

Lastly, knifing is a complete mess for me. Tried numerous times to knife someone and just slashing like a mad man, even though I know exactly how knifing works and didn't have a problem with it pre patch.
