Today some idiot on attacker side in Wake Island Rush tried to help his team by sniping the enemy team from the spawn carrier when we had already moved past the first pair of M-Coms. He ended up with a KD of like 1/0 and me and other squadmates accidentally spawned on him several times with no other option than to suicide and try again.

I wish you could still nudge people around by crouching on them like you could in the beta. That way I could've eventually pushed him overboard.

You get out where you were facing. If you want to do repairs safely midfight you need to spend the second or two to spin your turret to an angle that doesn't leave you as exposed to enemy fire.

e: Totally random thought -- if they wanted to make stingers more effective they should just replace the missile with your character building a temporary lightpost at your location. I bet those things have way higher kill counts than the stinger+IGLA combined.

I would, but the number of pubby pilots who hang with me long enough to persist through a single missile lock I could count on one hand, and even less than that have Guided Missiles.

I need a good consistent gunner, and I will keep us flying for days, especially if you have flares.

drat, no idea why I haven't been shotgunning all this time. I just broke in the 870MCS over a couple rounds and had a blast clearing and defending the TV station on Sharqi. Tore that stairwell up. I like getting in people's faces and running into the action anyway so dying in some long to midrange conflicts is no major change for me.

*******************
I wish there were something that could or would be done about loving spawn camping though. I hate joining in the middle of a game only to find that my team is spawn locked and it's just a one sided ticket drain because, understandably my teammates are quitting out left and right.

So I take it they fixed a lot of the betas issues? Falling through the ground wasn't very fun.

Couple buddies picked this up and decided I needed it as well, so I'll be getting it on Tuesday. Amazon still had the limited edition so hooray in that regard.

Are flashlights still absurdly popular for whatever reason?

I just had this game: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf...69/2/174396402/ on canals and managed 51 kills in the LB from the start to the second set of crates alone, then my team lost. Only death is from a suicide at the start of the round when I spawned in the Venom instead, but the guy in the LB was a hotshot and spun the thing into the ocean before the round even started so I got in it easily the next time. New kill-streak record for myself as well woo.

I can't imagine how many I would have had if we continued to the next set, or I dare say, won the game

The latter is untrue; 10 points for a target designated and 10 (thanks bringer) 50 points for a target that you designated taking a guided hit... but admittedly no "kill assist" points or "laser designated assist" points, as opposed to suppression assist points.

I don't play a lot of recon but I know I get 60 points for SOFLAMing -- 50 points for my designated target being hit (as long as I'm on the SOFLAM when the Javelin arrives) plus another 10 for designating a target. It's a better deal than helicopter pilots who get straight up screwed in BF3. 10 (or 20 for squad mates) points out of 100 is bullshit compared to the 50+20 you got in BC2 when your gunner killed something, and kills there were only worth 50 points.

It's sad when you can go on an absolute tear with a chopper gunner and see yourself in the lead by thousands of points but the pilot who is enabling all of that murder is sitting right in the middle of the scoreboard.

Alternatively, don't do this because no one uses the Javelin and even when they do you have a 50/50 chance of hitting a tree or a rock or just outright missing instead.

Fun fact: MAV gets you more points, and does it more consistently than does the SOFLAM while being far more useful to the team (though either way you're being functionally useless by not playing the objective). Don't use the SOFLAM.

Did you have a height advantage? If you get shot from below and the round hits the bottom of your tank it's pretty close to a one-shot destruction.

Unfortunately my team was even less experienced, since they couldn't get past the second set despite me killing 51 of them. Also rank is meaning less and less these days since as you can see all of their lovely low ranks did better then the colonels on their team.
