Drone_Fragger posted:The javelin is fine honestly, considering you can only fire it at vehicles and takes like 7 or 8 seconds to lock on. Whereas the smaw would not take 5 or 6 seconds to lock on, but *would* however need you to hit the vehicle with more rockets than you can carry to blow it up. Being able to lock a laser designated helicopter from 500 yards with the javelin is not fine.

weaaddar posted:So does anyone know how the pistol dog tags work? I have almost 4 service stars with my g18, and I want to try out the g18 suppressed edition to get a service star with it. Will I get the 5 service star dog tag for my g18 whoring? Or do I have to do 5 service stars with the classic g18? Unmodified pistols are the ones you need to use to unlock the mastery dog tags. 1 service star for the G18 proficiency dog tag, 5 service stars for the G18 mastery dog tag. The m9 supp and mp443 supp are the only two modified hand guns that have proficiency and mastery dog tags. I use hand guns a lot...2067 kills ><

Now that I'm trying to level up my recon, I am finding myself getting a ton more handgun kills. G18 is awesome.

I was playing on a pistols only server last night which was awesome. I used that Rex revolver you get from coop which seems to be great for medium range and lucky headshots. Does anyone else have a favourite?

Kazvall posted:A good amount of people in the bf3 console thread don't appreciate the new maps very much, it seems. Part of that is DICE's fault. You can only play on the servers DICE provides and apparently not only are there no BtK only servers for PS3 players, but Conquest Assault, which seems to be really unbalanced and just badly implemented, is mixed in with all of the Conquest servers. If you want to just play BtK maps on Conquest, you can't unless you hop servers every game. The maps themselves sound good and look good. Sharqi in particular looks loving gorgeous.

So I spent the entire morning practicing with dual weilding the SOFLAM and the Guided Shell on Operation Firestorm. Basic plan is to park the SOFLAM on top of WookWook Mountain, then drive the tank in to a ditch parked behind a rock. Occasionally hop out of the tank to readjust the SOFLAM view, and fire Guided Shells at helos, tanks and anything that looks exciting. Now that I've got the hang of Guided Rockets, I realized that as long as the tank/AA is stationary, 99% of the rockets will hit so long as you're hovering still. I really ruined someone's day earlier by locking them in spawn from across the map. I'm still 450 points from unlocking the rocket pods for the jet though. I've been working on that unlock for almost a week. I am the worst jet pilot.

If jet cannons did more than annoy tanks, I'd have unlocked the rocket pods by now  Dog fighting is a worthless pursuit unfortunately so until you unlock rocket pods you have to pray you find a hovering helicopter and catch it unawares. At least... that's what I tell myself...

I also think the jet cannons got buffed. I was disabled in one pass last night by a Hornet's cannon in the T-90. I watched him come all the way in and it was purely cannon and he didn't have anything else equipped when I killed him. I was able to repair but if I hadn't been at 100% I think he would have got me. I don't remember ever giving fucks about a jet before when I was in a tank. I don't think it was a bad change(if it exists) jets should be able to contribute... something to the gameplay.

How does ECM work for jets and helicopters? Last night I was tagging things with the russian IGLA and at one point I had a lock on a helicopter, fired, watch the rocket fly to it and then the lock suddenly broke and the rocket turn turned to the sky and decided it wanted to go to the moon. Didn't see any flares pop or smoke from it so it was an odd sight.

My theory is you got hit with a javelin and the jets AGM back to back, if it wasn't rockets.

Correct  I got 5 stars with my G18 supp to find out the hard way.And yes, I do play Recon, which contributed to my high hand gun kills. The .44 magnum is the most ridiculous handgun. Insta kill headshots from 20 meters? Yes please.

Drone_Fragger posted:It seems fairly deliberate. Laser designation is fairly tricky because of that annoying laser box you must use, and the missiles do deliberately try to fly over the tree line and land on targets. If it was something like the missles flying into the wall infront of you because they're trying to go through it to hit the target I'd be more inclined to believe it's unintended. Haven't tried it on Tehran Highway, have you? Missiles flying into the bridge. Sometimes on the way up, sometimes on the way down. You're better off just locking on and shooting by yourself.

Foehammer posted:Do you have the scoped .44? I keep waffling on which one to take. There is no reason to use the scoped .44. The amount of recoil and limited field of view makes the scope worthless. Also, join an empty server and play around with the versions, shoot walls and tell how fast you can pull the trigger before bullet spread kicks in.

My theory is you got hit with a javelin and the jets AGM back to back, if it wasn't rockets. I'll just add that in my tank last night I was getting ripped up by planes more than usual. Some of it was the usual rocket goodness, but it also seemed that the guns were doing quite a bit. This may be anecdotal or based on me perceiving an increased ground focus from dudes trying out the new gun damage. I really don't recall planes regularly taking me to 20% in a pass as often as happened last night though. There's something going on that seems like it isn't just a lucky javelin hit, especially as I was not being lased or in a position to eat a missile easily (hiding between rocks where only air had easy access, no enemy ground troops close that I saw).
