Did you have to restart your machine?? It just kicked me again.....

I didn't do a restart after doing the manual PB update procedure....

Just worked for me after doing the update with the pb program where you select what game and tell it to check for updates.




It seems dice have semi broken the ecm after the server update, several times i had ecm deployed on the viper yet the enemy still got a lock about 2 seconds into me deploying it (heard the incoming missile bleeping about a second or 2 after i deployed it on a few occasions, insta lock on virtually now) and i still got slapped with a missile.

Its hilarious watching the aa missiles though, they seem to shoot past planes, then zip back to where they were for attempt 2 at making the hit. Its almost like the server code realises a hit should have been made then it resets the missiles positions. Looks so shabby its laughable. Even with them being reset sometimes they totally miss and a hit still gets made, its literally how it was pre-update only the exploding missiles that used to go pop in front of you now do damage.

Been jetting a lot lately and sometimes when dogfighting ECM jammer doesn't even work am spamming X but just doesn't work does my head cause using ecm jet vs jet can sometimes win u the fight but just doesn't seem to work! Think its server side problem hopefully!

Slider: Goose who’s butt did you kiss to get in here anyway?
Goose: The list is long, but distinguished.
Slider: Yeah, well so is my Johnson.
 
Quick question, the guided missiles in the jets, is it just me that think they're bloody useless?

I've persisted with them as I think the idea of them is awesome, and it's pretty cool seeing the missile go down towards your target.

I'd say 3-4 times out of 10 will it actually hit anything (even if the target is stationery), and when it does hit it just says vehicle disabled. I swear I hit a tank last night that was already smoking heavily and it just said disable. I was expecting it to blow up. Are they just really underpowered?

are you referring to the gunner seats guided? as if so you really have to lock>fire>then follow up with a load of gun fire while the guided are on route
 
Bought BF3 on a whim today. Haven't played a proper online shooter since BF1942.... Just installing now. Is it worth while playing single player first, or can I just dive straight online? I'm a sensitive wee soul, and don't want to get shouted at too badly.
