Not really, sorry, seems fine for me.
Anyone shot scout helis with the main cannon of MBT and not have the hit register even though you clearly saw it hit it? Kept happening to me today, kind of irritating - only seemed to happen with scout helis not attack helis or jets.

LOL it's one of the worse weapons in the game and inaccurate to boot due to it being bullpup

Anyone now what key i need to press to pick up weapons on the test range, or what heading its under on key bindings?
Hold down your reload key while pointing at the kit. Its a bit silly what situations use the use key and which you need to hold use or reload :| and doesn't really tell you either so several places you have to work it out first time.
I know most randoms are just playing casual/might want to do their own thing and all but it annoys me a lot when our team is losing purely due to people letting the enemy through to take the key flags in conquest and ignoring me saying what we need to do to win :| i.e. several maps holding certain objectives not only let you project power easily but also get commander upgrades and so on for instance conquest large on paracel theres no reason to hold anything other than B (gunship), C (power projection) and E (extra littlebird), going for A before B makes no sense and D is less valuable than any of the others.

Indeed
A point is important on paracel as you get another attack boat.
For example on that map earlier, my team didn't bother with B or A (or any flags for that matter.... but those two where the main ones) so we got raped by gunship, 3 boats and our air support didn't stand a chance because enemy team had aa......
I wish DICE would just make all vehicles the exact same in terms of how they operate and visuals when in first person view, fed up with one team getting slightly better vehicles.
Also be great if they rebalanced other maps for vehicles rather than just that one map on rush mode, hainan...... They have rebalanced that two times now, what about the like 4+ other maps that are even worse for vehicles i.e. lacang, dragon pass and altari range lol.......
Ideally I like to see the removal of vehicles for certain flags i.e. for paracel, take away the extra boat at a and little bird at e
Yup but if you hold B you can use the gunship (assuming there is a commander) to push up and take A as its mostly open (not to mention the stupid MAA at B) - A should IMO only be pushed on if you hold B and if B is attacked fallback and retake it even if you lose A - the attack boat is powerful but won't normally swing the map in your favor if you don't hold the other flags.
EDIT: End of the day someone could and probably does have other ways to win that map, but it annoys me to see people chasing the flags that don't actually matter in the current context while in doing so letting the flags we really need go to the enemy i.e. earlier on zavod watching people we really needed in the middle chasing after B while C and D were going to the enemy easily :| handing the enemy an easy win in doing so for no good reason.

So how is mantle playing out? Been waiting for it for ages, got it and it's like one of the few days I just ain't interesting in playing 
Well ideally as soon as everyone spawns, you should have at least one boat going to A and the transport heli going to B, rib boat going to E etc.
Again, depends entirely on the boat drivers, but with a good "captain" you can keep hold of the majority of flags, A, C, D and E, not to mention if you're good with TV missile, keep the enemy aircraft down
Essentially the only flag boats are useless for is the B flag

Needs more compelling maps, theres hardly any that I look forward to playing :| always been a problem though with battlefield games IMO a lot of maps just have no soul to them for want of a better way to put it, just an almost random bit of terrain with some buildings dotted about.
Gimme 5 minutes in the editor with Floodzone and I could make it 10x more enjoyable to play

paracel and shanghai don't have this problem though.
and their the ones used to advertise the game....
