We didn't pick any fights with the furries. There was a littlebird twitch streamer who we were killing on Dawnbreaker. Then this guy joined and claimed he was in the "marine core"(sic) and was toughguy chatting that he had killed 25 people in Iraq and 17 in Afghanistan. Of course, he was Special Forces (because why not?). He also shared the story of how he "killed a haji who was beating his own daughter" and said he had all our IP addresses and was going to come kill me IRL :ohdear:

You just need to destroy the air vehicle, kill or not.

You also can taxi a jet out of spawn to the A flag on Firestorm. I'm still happy to help anyone who needs to cheese it or the airburst this weekend, mostly because I still need 2 jet ribbons myself.

Let me know when you guys are doing this. I will help out as a target.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
Easiest way to get the jet ribbon (without cheesing): high ticket Paracel storm. Bounce around until you find one where the enemy is not dominating the skies (though with enough tickets, and especially on fast-respawn servers that doesn't matter too much).

Use the attack jet to kill boats. If you use the lock on missiles, you can wipe out RHIBs and jetskis easily. Look for fast attack crafts that are already engaging with another boat. They are likely weakened and have already blown active protection. If they use flares, and you are far away enough, keep your aim on the boat - sometimes the missile regains the lock.

Best way to get a jet kill is to land either of them on Golmud railway highway and let two friends jump in front of the gun while they res each other.

On high ticket pistol and knife only servers you can get over 100 ribbons using the two medkit perks. These are the types if things you learn playing bf4 at 3am PST. Also since half the people have ping above 200 use the revolvers and kill them before they render on your screen. :commissar:

You guys weren't kidding about him only ever playing on Dawnbreaker huh?

edit: Good god. He has almost four times the hours in the little bird than I have played. Looking at his weapon stats and all he pretty much only every flies a little bird. Also hilarious is his repair bitches with the "u mad bro" and blaming the deaths on hacking with another random guy hanging on his nuts as well defending him. Then Dawnbreaker ends and he leaves to find another server with a LB.

He's one hell of a pilot with great spatial awareness I'll give him that. I wish I could even fly a tenth as good.

If it weren't for the Wasteland 2/Carmageddon betas being out, I'd say something about EA/DICE online that would probably get me into trouble.

You have to use a restore point to fix your computer after BF4 hard locks it? Wow, that's pretty amazing, even for :dice:

At one point in the video, I hit him 3x consecutively with stingers, as fast as they would lock and fire. He was always fully repaired before the next one hit.

The scarf is nice.
There were a goon or two on the enemy team trying to grab the little bird from him and poo poo like that. He just sits in the menu and clicks furiously on the little bird slot though.

I'm still just happy I shot him out of his helicopter with the P226. Couldn't find the screenshot button for it though.

So I unlocked the Scar H. Worse in every category than ACE and smaller clip? What am I missing here?

I got a Logitech G13 a while back, and I have the thumb stick set up for jump/crouch and map/spot. But I also have one of those adapters that lets you plug in a PS1/2 controller and the game defaults to the analog stick on that so I have to unplug that before running the game. I did the thing in the game controller menu in control panel where you tell it to default to whichever, but the game still goes with the old dual shock. Any way around this without having to unplug it every time?

Also, love how the game runs in a window every time, even though in settings it says borderless. Have to go in and change it to something different, apply, and re-apply borderless setting every time I run the game. Anyone else had this or know of a workaround?

Yeah, it has the highest damage and second-highest range of any assault rifle. I don't really use it that often either, but it's not without merit. Just use it like a baby battle rifle.

The SCAR-H can two-shot someone with headshots at any range. That's pretty useful in an AR.
