What controls vehicle look sensitivity? My sensitivity is low in game, but in vehicles, its too fast to do poo poo.

I feel like just knowing standard flight patterns would be enough to graduate from "immediate explosion" to "short-lived distraction" when idiot teammates aren't taking advantage of our air assets. Google it or something. "Immelman" sounds like some complicated maneuver but it's dead-simple. Go upside down -> Pull back on the stick -> Done --or-- Pull back on the stick until upside down and going the other direction -> Go right-side up -> Done

Man more people should use the AMTRAC, the thing loving rocks. I don't think they realize the gunner's position has a grenade launcher AND a coax machine gun. I drive that onto a point switch into the gunners position and rip apart the defenders.

It seems like vehicles still dominate the scoreboards. I'm sticking with infantry since I want to unlock guns, and its just ridiculous how high my score jumps when I hop in a machinegun or steal a tank.

Could someone give me the lowdown on what graphics settings least affect how good the game looks while giving me a decent FPS increase? What should I turn down first? I'm running with most/all settings on High and the game itself runs well but visually there's a little bit of stutter and I want butter instead

Any ideas as to what could be causing me to not be able to control my soldier? I spawn into the game and spin and shoot continuously until I run out of bullets or kill myself. With no input from me at all. Different mouses have the same results, restarted my computer several times, restarted origin and battlelog as well. Game is completely unplayable.

AA is the first thing to turn down if it's on and you're running at 1920x1080. Switching HBAO to SSAO or 'off' would be the next thing.

Trizelda posted:Anybody have any tips on how to get a enemy jet off your back? I can keep them from shooting me... but it gets boring turning and turning and turning.. and turning. It just seems like a game where whoever gets bored of turning will win. The only solution i have come up with so far is to nosedive to the ground and pull up the last second OR flying over friendly zones and hoping that a teammate will land a Stinger on whoever is chasing me. I have no problem staying alive...i am just asking for tips on maneuvers that will trip up whoever is chasing me long enough to get behind them. I have this problem too. Fly around with some guy on my tail all day? No problem. Get him OFF my tail? Problem.

Why the gently caress on gay Earth do I have to manually uncheck and check "invert flight" controls in the main menu every time I get into a heli or jet. Why can't they just BOTH be inverted? How do I fix this?

I drive that onto a point switch into the gunners position and rip apart the defenders. The AMTRAC's a loving beast. Me and my friend won a rush round on Tehran highway by taking that thing and driving it into the very back of the final base. The AMTRAC was a spawn point for our entire team to pour out of while I just lay down grenades and COAX every loving where. That thing is the meanest loving mobile spawn point in existence, and its grenades pretty much guarantee a win against most other light armor vehicles. I love hunting down Tunguskas in that thing as they just don't know what to do.

So I was doing a few coop missions and am wondering does difficulty affect the experience you receive? We got about half way through the first mission on Hard (didn't have to go to the other side of the map) and had 4508, turned it to Medium and had 8690 at the end when the two tanks show up, and when we turned it to Easy and completed it we got 10231. If there is a difference, it must either not be applied until the end, or it's very insignificant. The world #1 Easy is also only 1 point lower than the world #1 Hard, for what that's worth. I assume the Medium one being 1800 points higher has more to do with coordinating Spot Assist bonuses than any difficulty bonus/multiplier. In short, looks like you can just grind these out on Easy, everyone! Only about 400,000 more experience to go!  Also if anyone wants to do some Easy coop: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/user/umberger2/

zarg posted:I have this problem too. Fly around with some guy on my tail all day? No problem. Get him OFF my tail? Problem. You need to do something that he is unwilling or unable to do. With no real energy management in the game that can be a little tricky, so your best option is to be dangerous. Flip inverted and half loop through until you are level again. Is he still behind you? Then you were too high. You want to skim the ground as you exit the half loop, you want him to be forced to peel off or to lawn dart. Do it at a cocky angle to make it more difficult, roll the plane when you are vertical so that you come up at a random direction, so if he follows straight through you through he loses you.

I don't know. I just can't lose a target once I spot it because it's in my view AND my minimap. Even if I misjudge the speed and turn wide, I still know where you are going. You can do all kinds of stuff to shake people off though. Try using the ground and sky ceiling to loving people up. My favorite trick is fly really high up, and bait them into stalling. Then I just loop back and kill them while they are stuck in the sky. Don't just turn and turn on one side. Turn while changing altitude and use the gravity to swoop down and make harsher turns. Pilots can take infinite Gs in this game so do it. poo poo like "do a sharp turn to get out of the chaser's sight for a second and roll and pitch up while out of the sight is a good trick because you will get behind that dude very quickly. Another solution is be my wingman so we're on the same team. I'll help you out whenever you are in a tight spot. Also never ignore ground stingers. Just fart around near your troops and they might shake your tail off. That one CB round where trizelda and I were on the same team, we dominated.

In addition to being kicked off the server, Origin now insists the game isn't installed. Clicking on "Ready to Install" makes it change to 'Installing...' and it goes away and does something, but it never decides its installed. There's no Repair option. Do I really have to download the whole loving thing again?
