Remember the slams are sticky so this opens up some really sneaky options. Also put all 3 down together for the full kill. Put them on any vehicle and use them like c4 , stick them to walls where you know there is a high chance of tanks/apcs driving past (A and D flag shanghai, E flag wall where the chinese come from spawn). Put them on burnt out cars , fence posts/signs , drop them in shallow water where boats drive past (paracel). Put them on the enemies mines cos the drivers will think its safe (use one for this not 3). Put one on rhibs/jetskis/bikes etc that you know the enemy are likely to use. Stick them to your legs and go suicide bombing ;) anything you like just think sneaky..
 
fellas i keep not being able to join servers sometimes 4/5 in a row, i've updated punkbuster, turned off firewall, but it's still happening.

I'm on windows 8.1, i never seemed to have this problem on 7 (just loads of massive GPU spikes)

I can't seem to see anything about this on the top issues tracker - have you got any hints - ideas what it might be??

Managed to get some video editing software and put together a short vehicle game play video from last night.


Sorry about the audio going out of sync. Some great timing there by Gord on TS.

That sound is so out of sync, and you need to get better quality video!

Also unlocked the ACE 52, seems good but no accessories for it yet. Any reccomendations on grips, sights etc.

I find MG4 recoil is actually easier to control - what setup do you use? I'm talking about Coyote + Ergo grip most of the time, suppressed.

I have no unlocks for it aside from a stubby and red dot. Horrible for me. Might have to give it another go, need to get an unlock to aide the first shot recoil.
 
Always run ergo + laser on every gun!!! And suppressor if you want....

Only time you should be using angled is on the likes of the aek and scar H, high first shot recoil with them.

As for sight, personal preference, I use kobra, easier to see the centre, coyote is great but you lose track of the centre dot very easily.

M249/MG 4 (exactly the same except mg 4 has more vertical recoil and less side to side recoil) have very little first shot recoil, less than the majority of assault rifles etc. iirc so angled grip would be wasted on them.

ok quick Q about the slams.... having never used them. seems like they operate a bit like mines where you can chuck them on the ground/under water and they will explode once driven over. am I right in thinking they can also be used like C4 where you chuck them on a vehicle and can be remotely detonated?

no for more confusing bits, I think I remember reading a timer? so does this mean they auto detonate after a certain time once attached to an enemy vehicle? or when you hit detonate it starts a small timer?

putting them on enemy mines sounds awesome! but putting on fences.... does it work on proximity, like tank drives past about 1m away and they will detonate or actually need to be hit?

thanks in advance for the answers :D (sensible ones at least.... :p )
 
They're motion sensitive, place them onto a vehicle and when it moves they go off, of hit it with a rocket if it a campy non mover
 
they are sensitive to movement Sasso..so put them anywhere were you expect anything to move past them..not sure what their range is for detonation though

Slams detonate on movement... kill radius is about 1m but can be a bit buggy. The point of them is that they can stick to surfaces that will be overlooked by a driver (such as low on a wall or on a corner). Slams can be attached to a tank or whatever but it will need to move to set them off... there is no timer! If you attach them to a camping AA for example and it stays on same spot they won't go off until it moves. Oh and don't try and use them as a jihad jeep unless you ram into your target and then get out :p

Edit: 2 slams kill a tank and 3 slams kill an IFV :)
