So the SOFLAM is interesting.. I don't know how good it is. But its fun lasing helos/planes and watching them crash into the ground trying to get rid of the lock. IF a javelin is fired at a lased target and the target drops flares will the javelin miss? If a jet pulls any of the neat maneuvers to lose stingers against javelins that are locked will the javelin miss? (I know javelins miss like 50% of the time all by themselves) also what weapons do the SOFLAM work alongside? And at what ranges can a javelin fire at a locked target?

I've only seen a Javelin or guided shell bug out and miss helicopters once or twice, jets can outrun them though. Both laser and lock-on ranges are pretty pathetic when put up against guided rockets.

Affi posted:also what weapons do the SOFLAM work alongside? And at what ranges can a javelin fire at a locked target? Guided shells from tanks as well as the guided missiles from helos. (I think there is a similar thing for jets as well.) Shells will pretty much hit its target all the time compared to Javelins. Despite them being pretty much the same thing. And I think the range is pretty much unchanged but the laser has a maximum lock on distance of 200ish meter.

Coleman posted:I obviously agree that people should be autoplaced in squads, but other than that, there seems to be a lot of bitching about the new squad system where I find it to be pretty good. I get that there's not enough squads for 64 player servers, and the fact that it doesn't auto place you in squads is annoying, but it's still drastically improved over the pre-patch. It sounds as though the changes they made to the squad selection were because they were asked for, call me an optimist, but maybe they just misinterpreted and the non-auto-joining is a mistake. People seem to dislike it, so I'm sure it'll be rectified, maybe with more squads added at the same time. Obviously you never played the BF2 Special Forces map Warlord, and attempted to hold the TV Station flag in squad Fox News or MEC squad Al Jazeera  Similarly, in BF2 demo @ Oman, my bros and ended up defending the poolside hotel one night and ended up in the Hotel squad... It became a tradition, with squad Hotel Heat bringing the pain @ Oman. Sir, custom squads are absolutely necessary.

Hurf did they nerf the stinger tracking or something? I was literally loving with the engineers on the ground today on an a-10. I was just circling on top of the first set of mcoms on rush caspian just making them use all their stingers and maybe 1 or 2 of them landed total which I fixed right back up with extinguisher. Later on I was just tanking missiles no problem and extinguisher up. I got actually killed by a rocket while my jet was at 55% hp once though, and that was weird. loving hilarious. Entire server started argue about whether I was using a jet hack or not. E: If you shoot at a lazed target with your guided missiles, they will hit 100% regardless of flare etc. Tanks become a chopper killing machine once they got CITV and guided shell combo partners

Saw it happen for the second time ever earlier, I lazed a helicopter and my driver shot a guided shell, it hit it like it normally would but did no damage.

Pretty much every BF2 game I ever played had squads named "JETS", "Defend", "poop" and "TEAMWORK".

Fox News/Al Jazeera holding the old TV Station? Anyways, you and I know what's up. Honestly, people would be surprised how many applicants a SL would get in BF2 just naming his squad "TEAMWORK" or "DEFENSE". I remember me and my buds would name our squad "QRF" (for "Quick Response Force" in military jargon). We would pile in an APC or jeep and troll around, waiting for a friendly flag to start blinking so we could come careening in firing all barrels to foil the capture. poo poo was loving fun Custom squads or bust.

Martytoof posted:Does the AA tank have a viable range? Because I've been in the tank by our base at Caspian and been shot from a chopper hovering over Alpha while my bullets seem to do no damage at that distance. Apparently the AA guns have no drop so if you can't seem to hit it, it's out of range.

My friend just installed battlefield 3. Apparently he tries to join a server or start campaign mode, but the game just doesn't launch. Battlelog game manager says Joining Server... or initializing or whatever, but then suddenly, nothing. The game never launches. Anyone have a problem like this and resolved it?

Also check it isn't just minimised, mine doesn't go fullscreen, I have to click the BF3 icon and it's loaded.

I'd like a change is spotting. I think when you've been spotted with Q you should be visible to all until you break line of sight with whoever is spotting you/he breaks line of sight with you. Then give us a new marker for "last known position". Makes it not as powerful.

Amarretto Christ posted:He's ranked #1 in the world. I've gone up against him a few times and I'm not bad and I've managed to kill him a few times. He does tend to gently caress you really hard really fast, but I know I've had some kills where I could just un-loving-load and, yeah, about one or two seconds is all it takes. Didn't notice that he's #1 world, haha. That explains that-although I still don't physically get how you can pull off those shots on a plane moving in 5 directions at once. Time to avoid like the plague so I can get some practice on pubbie scrubs! One more question-what the hell is with heatseekers on planes nowadays? Do they lock onto lasers as well or something? Can't tell you how many times I've gotten a straight missile beep and immediate hit without lock tones/with flares not doing poo poo. Ditching stingers is still fun as hell though. Don't think I've popped flares once to avoid stinger/AA missile fire since reading about that. EDIT: Speaking of Metro 64-holy poo poo I got to play with a cohesive squad last night. Everyone had different squad bonuses, communicated, ran complimentary kits, etc. Our one squad netted the team 5 wins as the US side simply by being able to move together and cover each other. And as Russia, I got to see what 11 frag rounds from the USAS will do to a clusterfuck of medics camping the side stairs, when used from the back. 1200-1500 points per mag... goddamn do I love that thing.

Flew a bit with the attacker jets last night and god drat they are so awesome. I was going like 35-2 with 7k points in a regular 75 ticket maps just owning. Later on people just stopped getting into any vehicles. Weird thing though, was that it felt like it was harder to kill people on the ground compared to fighter jets. I was strafing like mad but only managed a few kills.

This game really is better with teamwork. Guided Shell + CITV = KrustyKlassic and I keeping the enemy team's chopper force grounded. Plus it's nice to know I'm not as bad as I thought at this game, I just need to stop playing on 64 player servers.
