Dive-bombing a helpless tiger tank is awesome..

A tank shell that blows a bunch of people sky-high is utterly evil and super-hilarious.

Oh my god I love this game 😀

What are your best moments?
 
On Wake Island coming barreling up through the airfield in a jeep as all the plane campers scatter, and managing to zig-zag over 3 of them. Thump, thump, thump.
 
Hmm.... So many....

Online I was a scout for Germany on the Gazala map. The base over in the south east and up a bit (I don't know what it's called, it's not the one on the hill) was under British control, but there was no one there. So I walk around on the hills above the base, slide down, and capture the base.

Then I see 2 tanks coming and there's no way to avoid them. I go inside the buildings, and they keep shooting through the window at me. They finally stop for a second, getting repairs, talking, or something. Anyway, I duck out, get into a jeep, drive right infront of one that's shooting at me, go to the bridge, jump out of the jeep, jump off of the bridge, and parachute to safety. That was pretty cool.


Another time on the same map I was driving a Jeep by Gabor Sala (or whatever that base is called). I was just being stupid (I wasn't playing on line) and ramped the jeep off of a cliff and parachuted. The jeep landed on a tank, blowing it up. I landed, shot a german guy in his jeep, stole it, and rammed it into another tank about 15 seconds later.

Keep in mind this happened at 4:30 in the morning at an LAN party so it was probably funnier to be there.

We had a small game going (6 people) on Wake Island, and we were just screwing around trying to get in the planes at the center of the island. But we kept blowing each other up before the person in the plane could take off. So one guy is running for a plane and is almost there when I blindside him going full speed in a jeep. So I hop out of my jeep and get in the plane and start to take off, I get about 3 feet off of the ground when he pops out from behind a building and blows me away with a panzer. So he runs to get the other plane sitting there while I am spawning. He starts to take off and I hop in a jeep and get in front of him. I times it perfectly so that the jeep was lodged underneath of the plane and he couldn't take off, he pushed me on the ground instead. So we both go off of the edge of the hill and explode on the beach.

We went on battling for planes like that with the other people for over an hour. 🙂
 
I like nuking entire landing parties on Normandy and/or Husky. Its great seeing a boatload of FoBs and then watching them all fall apart as your 'nade explodes at their feet. 😀

This weekend playing BF 1942 RtR at around 3am on Sunday Morning. I got in a two people plan. I?m not a good pilot (due to gamepad not joystick?that?s my excuse) so I choose to be the rear gunner. My buddy was the pilot. I told him to go pick a fight so I could get some action in the rear?NOT THAT KIND. Sure enough once we flew over the allies? air base we had a bandit on our tail. My friend was moving side-to-side and small movements up and down so I could focus on shooting this guy down. After about 200rnds I finally shoot him down. I got to say that I like being a gunner.

I'm sorry man, but I had to laugh at that one.

Both my 7 yr old son and I are hooked on this game. Neither one of us has figured out how to actually get a plane off the ground and into the air. My favorite is, commandeer an enemy tank/vehicle and barrel through their camp running as many of them over as possible.

What does everyone use to fly planes?

I use keyboard and mouse combo..works pretty well for me.

Tried it on a Wingman Rumblepad and it sucked!

I have a Saitek X45, but it's not good for BF, in my opinion. The joystick is too soft. There isn't enough resistance.

Sidewinder Precision Pro. Works really well. It would work even better if I knew what the hell I was doing.
