Really would like a new map nowThis is getting a bit boring, especially when the skyscraper falls.
I prefer it when it's up.
1 rpg for an apache/viper and 2 rpgs for a transport heli
On that topic, I hope to god they don't nerf the RPG as it is perfect the way it is but no doubt all the vehicle whores will complain about it in BL forums and DICE will go back to bf 3 way![]()

Highly likely that it will get changed, at least the lock on ability. And that will be a good thing. It's only perfect in the way that it's perfectly unbalanced.
As it stands, every single launcher in the game can lock on.no-one will bother taking anything but the rpg, as there's no downside to it. Most of the other launchers either do less damage, can only lock onto air or can't be dumbfired.
You can dumb fire the RPG at close range, against vehicles/infantry.
One other recon on your team using the pld and you can now lock onto every single vehicle in the game. The pld is 10x easier to use than the soflam, and there's no indication (apart from a white lock indicator) of who is lasing you, no red light etc. Could be any of the 5 recons on one side of the map.
There is literally no point in using any other launchers if the rpg stays as it is. They need to do away with the completely unrealistic (yes I know it's a game, but it's an RPG from 1961!) lock on feature that requires the least amount of teamwork possible.
I'm not an vehicle whore either, I'm a do everything player who enjoys flying an attack chopper, or transport chopper, or driving a tank, as much as running around as infantry all game. I have roughly 3000 kills in vehicles in BF3, out of a total of 31,000, and 2,400 vehicle destroys. Even I can see this is very poorly balanced. Only a complete non vehicle player would say otherwise![]()
Takes two shots from a tank shell to destroy a chopper, was rather surprised, as in BF3 it only took one iirc.
Edit: Feel free to add me to Origin if you want to have some games.
Allowing snipers on the sky scrapers is stupid.
I'm fine with the speed/damage of the rpg, it's the lock on feature which needs to be removed. Luckily, if it's in the full game, once everyone only uses the rpg and denies all vehicles DICE will take it out.Yeah the lockon needs to be tweaked but in terms of speed and drop of the RPG, it is perfect, BF 3 was utterly stupid, sooooooo slow and the drop was ridiculous.
Essentially it is like the CG from bc 2.
I am also a vehicle player, more infantry though!![]()
It makes a nice change from the complete and utter rape that tanks and especially aircraft could carry out in bf 3 though!
In bf 4, it is nowhere as much of a problem regardless of the rpg lock on.
IIRC it takes two shots to take a transport heli down and 1 shot for the attack heli.
Although imo, 1 rpg (when not locked on i.e. free manual fire)/1 tank shell should be an instant kill/destroy for any aircraft.
Can't wait to try the AT4 in the final game
Will add you soon![]()
One of the worst beta tests I've ever taken part of. This version of the game is simply terrible. Feels like a asian f2p mmofps at best. Very disappointed :/
