Question is how would that work, do I have to spawn in a fresh one to get the unlocks, or whenever I spawn in an active one will I /everyone else get the unlocks? When you enter the drivers seat of a vehicle, your setup is immediately applied to it.

I love manning the MG on a tank and repairing it mid-battle for some insane adrenaline boost, but most people park their tank in the middle of the open and never move when getting hit

fknlo posted:If you're in a vehicle and playing at all smart, it's really easy to go at least 10:1 provided the other team isn't all engies with Javelins. I'm not some great player by any stretch of the imagination, but 20+ kill streaks are fairly easily doable in vehicles. I think my best is 37-0 in the MAA. A tank with a repair slave against that is basically invincible. OneEightHundred fucked around with this message at 21:17 on May 3, 2014 |

Most of are sized better but there's still a few that are basically capture points surrounded by a whole lot of nothing. Great if you're in a vehicle, not so much for infantry or light vehicles. Kharg Island in BF3 may not have been the most popular map but, outside of the Aftermath maps which were excellent, I'd call it one of the better maps and BF4 could use most like it.

Bob NewSCART posted:No, not dying once and getting over two dozen kills in one life is not common at all no matter who you are. Reasonably common? What PittTheElder posted:If you play conservatively in a vehicle. Obviously if you're infantry or playing objectives its never going to happen. I routinely see scout chopper pilots go something like 60-2 on certain maps, or jet pilots go 40-1, seeing them go zero deaths isn't the norm, but it happens more than you'd think. Just to show that I'm not just talking out of my rear end, this happened in one of the five or so rounds I played tonight. ItsApocalypseNow was in the stealth jet, affixqc was in the scout chopper.  Air vehicles are broken as poo poo.

Speaking of MBT's what is up with the staff shells? The overhead burst thing seems to work on a "when it feels like it basis" and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have only tried it out in the test area so far if that matters.

Somebody here isn't part of the HMG master race, SNIPING SNIPERS, LOCKING DOWN APPROACHES, GRINDING LIGHT VEHICLES DOWN IN BETWEEN SHOTS. All of this and more is the daily MO of an HMG tank.  But yeah gently caress staff shell, it's literally on level with active radar missiles in terms of "what were you thinking dice". It's a hard counter to Jihad jeeps, has insane lock on distance where no hill or corner will save you unless you go excessively far behind it. This combined with people who use Sabots and just hide in base would make Micheal Wittman spin in his grave. Their model for Tank warfare in BF3 was really fun, and guided shell was a great teamwork reward against helo's and just to switch all that up is... dumb. I will mention I stopped playing at B2K, so I'm lacking experience from AK.

He replied that there were not really flags to contest as the enemy never made it past the C flag.

It's actually been buffed but Sandweed was talking about the MBT canister shell, specifically. I don't think the IFV's canister shell was buffed as much as the MBT's, for obvious reasons, but it was definitely made better than previously.

Is there any reason to not use HE or APFSTP for the IFV? The canister doesn't spread well nor does it do splash damage, it also sucks balls for engaging armor. I dint my self using the splash really often to get the guy just around the corner and etc.

That's a 2000 ticket server though, compared to the one I posted (Pure Battlefield for the record) which is the standard 800. And it's true, I've certainly seen infantry tear it up and pull 50+ kills, mostly on Guilin Peaks. But those really lopsided air vehicle kill numbers happen consistently, which is what tells you they're broken.

Another squadmate had 36 revives as well. So there were 67 revives in a 4 man squad. I'd think the forumula would be to play with a largely assault squad and stay in an enclosed area where you don't have to worry about being mowed down by vehicles.

Stealth jets are killing other air vehicles and being scavengers on the ground. As long as you can out-dogfight the other planes, you usually don't have much to worry about(except for scout choppers with miniguns filled with engineers with stingers). But you also have limited targets, as your cannon is really only good against aircraft and the laser guided missiles won't kill anything by themselves, except for things like jeeps. Fully loaded Rhibs will push up your K/D though.
