Personally I found the 25 and 30mm to be harder to use, and not have a significant improvement in TTK against other "stealth" planes so I stopped using them. They might perform better against the A-10/SU-25 things but gently caress a bunch of actually trying to fly planes in a real game. 20mm / ECM / Belt Feeder. Go into 3rd person and bind pull up to spacebar... fire one missile, wait till they flare/ecm fire the other one (ONLY IF THEY'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE GROUND, so many people lose kills to mobility killing a person that then slams into the ground) Also, there is a cool server that kicks people who have above a 2.5 KD so you can go flail about until you learn how to fly without being made too sad by sky-lords.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Ah, I see what the problem is, I had to re-sort the server list by player count after I let it load all the way. It was listing a lot of full servers further down the list. I did this too  There are tons of servers but for some reason I thought the game I just got was totally dead somehow... then again KFS is more dead on off hours then it used to be back in the day of some other battlefield game.

Wait, does this mean if I have the defensive perk line on a soldier and hope into the scout chopper with the miniguns, they're going to do 4x damage per bullet?

I don't get airburst for the UCAV. I've gotten plenty of kills and disables just by flying it into vehicles/people. Do I put the cross hairs on something and press the airburst button, or fly over something and press it? I want to see pubbie tears.

Okay, so I'm probably really late on realizing this, but... they're clearly going to be adding more knives for Premium users, as we're shown as getting 5 or 6 exclusive knives and the only premium-exclusive knives shown on Battlelog are the Carbon Fiber and the Trench (which I assume will be our first next week). But the BattlefieldGoons page already has what I'm guessing are 2 not-yet-added knives in the drop down list, "Seal" which I'm guessing is like a SOG Seal Pup or something, and "Boot" which is assumedly a Boot Knife. Neat.

I got lucky today and knifed a guy.

Ok, 3 rounds with 4 jet kills. Does anyone have any Air Superiority server recommendations with 500+ tickets? 400 isn't cutting it for me. And I know I should kill boats on Paracel, but I seem to suck slightly less at this, I just need more time dammit!

PapFinn posted:I finally have had a small amount of luck dogfighting once I stopped trying to lead with a missile and just used guns only. Congratulations you're better than 90% of people trying to fly planes. I personally use the 25mm cannon though the only difference between the 20mm and 25mm is personal flavor. Some people swear by the 30mm but it's only benefit is that it does enough damage to add maybe 10 damage to an armored thing in a strafe run. For flying it has a longer TTK and the bullets go slower so you limit the number of opportunities to kill something.

Yes, there's a way to glitch it out so you instantly get a new UCAV the second your current one explodes. Yes, that makes them horrendously overpowered and somehow lessens the fun of demolishing the other team.

Stick near your ammo box(es). I'm not sure if it works with only one or two. Use the UCAV as normal. At some point, you'll get it much more rapidly than normal. It isn't fun to be honest... Unless you really get off on pissing people off. Like, to a level that's uncomfortable to be around and witness. edit: Also, idk, I found out how to do it on the BATTLELOG FORUMS of all places via a google search.

Well I just had a cool sniper shitlord game on the dam where I got front knifed (no counter knife prompt either, which was why I did the rest of this) by another sniper then proceeded to poo poo all over the guy by repeatedly counter sniping him. The match culminated with him and his squad dropping out of a heli to bum rush my spot and him trying to front knife me again, which got countered properly, then killed the rest of his squad with my pistol. Felt pretty good to just constantly poo poo over some other sniper and taunt him in chat for being unable to hit me with a sniper rifle. The knifing mechanic is loving dumb in bf4 since it's a bullshit death from the front half the time because it sometimes doesn't register as being from the front. Oh well, at least I got a 540m headshot on some other sniper while I was using a 8x14x intervention which was pretty cool.

Why the gently caress does the revive/deploy bug still exist? I've had it happen to me 4 times in like 3 hours. How hard is it to put a console command to kill yourself if that happens? Jesus.

How hard is it to put a console command to kill yourself if that happens? Jesus. It is pretty weird in general. You are stuck in some sort of limbo between life and death. No one can kill you, but your death isn't registered on the scoreboard yet(I went 11-0 and got the bug, finished the round 11-0).
