The grenade is launched from the tube and I can see it hit someone, but it just doesn't do anything. Isn't there a minimum travel distance before the grenade is "live" though? No idea about tank shells.

Do score gains get logged if you get disconnected? I got a shitload of ribbons and service star points then crashed (and then rejoined on the losing team  ) and some parts seem to have been recorded but not others.Edit: The answer is "yes" as 15k just appeared.

Yeah the servers upload every ones points when the map changes. As long as the server doesn't crash you are ok.

How exactly does the MAV "jam" travel? I read somewhere it is a dart object with I'm guessing drop and travel speed. It seems generous enough when destroying explosives though I can sometimes see the "flash" miss where my sights are and have to compensate. I've taken other MAVs out but last night I spent ages stalking one and no combination of aiming directly or slightly above got the guy. Do EMPs disable the MAV jam?

Yeah it can be fun doing that although I feel a bit cheap doing it. I was throwing the impact grenades down on to boats yesterday. Do people on the gunners seat on a boat take damage differently from explosives differently than the boat? I know gunners take bullets but I wasn't sure how it worked?

I've been keeping up with this thread for the last week because I was planning on picking this up for $20 with the McDonald's deal when it inevitably goes on sale for Christmas. I see a lot of , complaints about crashing, and in general malaise mixed in with the amusing anecdotes. Would I be better served picking up Civ V: Brave New World and whatever else with the other  than jumping on board with this right now?

You can hit a minigunner on the boat with a RPG and kill him doing no damage to the boat. Also, the Active Defense gadget supports get stops cruise missiles.

Yeah, I had issues right at launch but that's to be expected. I've had the odd switching-between-maps crash and a few server disconnects but it hasn't been bad really. I'm not an obsessive ultranerd so I don't even notice the bugs where something in game is not centered or might not provide the exact decimal point of damage either. I have a blast with the game and that's all I want.

Last patch sorted loads of crash issues for me, I've only had one since. Previously it was every 60 mins or so and I couldn't play shanghai at all.

My game never really crashed as often as some of the people on here, maybe 2 crashes over the course of an entire night of playing while others were getting a crash every round it seemed. After the recent couple of patches, I officially had my first crash in about a weeks time last night. For some the game is still a buggy mess, for others its working nearly perfectly, just have the pull the trigger and find out.

As a general FYI on crashes, as someone who tried more or less everything to stop the game crashing several times a day; I upgraded from a Geforce 560 to a 760 and I haven't had a single client crash all week, even on previously unplayable maps like shanghai and gamebreaker

Do the core unparking fix. Even on Windows 8.1 where it isn't supposed to work, it worked for my stutters. If its a memory issue, I don't remember off hand but I think there's a specific fix for it.

Crashes seem a lot better but there are still annoying things like being stuck on the revive screen happening. Kind of fucks up your squad if you're playing with friends when you can't revive people

Has any one else got stuck in this loop where battle log keeps saying it needs to install a browser add on, you down load it and install it then it says the same thing.

I got kicked from a server by punkbuster for a high ping of 104 (admin decision). I wasn't really paying attention to my ping in game and I don't consider ~100 to be THAT bad in Battlefield. Battlelog did only show a ping of 49 to the server. On the other hand, I was camping the bomber trying to get the stupid ribbons for the assignment. I had already gotten two kills and had just started my third run so I guess I made some baby who also wanted the bomber upset.

It sounds like some other sort of bug, but there's no special immunity for sure. Yeah I'm getting the feeling it's part of the ridiculous hitreg issues I've been having. Since last patch I can barely use DMR's since literally about 50% of my hits don't register Went from being able to double or triple-tap (hardcore servers) people at any range to emptying half a mag at someone's back point blank and them killing me with 30% hp left. I just didn't think it would start affecting tanks.

I think the 30mm has the best dps if you are pro ace skygod who can land all his shots, but most people prefer the 25mm or 20mm. Basically its up to you. I liked the 25mm when suffering through the UCAV assignment.
