Any tips on jets? I've been trying to fly them and all I'm managing to do is absolutely wreck my KDA, points per minute, and everything else.

I can't out dog fight people with all that extra shit.
 
Join an empty server and learn to fly with keyboard/mouse. Just do loops, and practice strafing ground targets. Getting good at aiming at stationary targets on the ground will help you get the feel for aiming in a dogfight.

For the most part just use Air Radar, and missile pods. I can't remember what the third slot is, but those two will be the most important for getting kills and staying alive.

Also, the optimum turning speed is around 300 I think, so if you can use the break to stay around that speed you will out turn enemies and be able to get on their 6.

Yeah that's mostly what i play mostly the soc and the v.i meatgrinder servers,i got my 100th resupply medal last night,the last round i got 92 being a personal best.:thumbsup:

Think i got only 3 medical medals and i will be working on those next,i never really play engineer or recon but assault with the med packs usually is very rewarding as most times when i play this class i'm the only one doing it.

if you can get a few support and assault playing well together in the high ticket metro, the choke point is staying choked. Just keep laying down med kits or ammo packs, and hitting Q (PC...don't know what it is on console)

I used to to play assault all the time in the metro with the under rail grenade launcher (seems something that noobs do alot), until i learned how awesome the LMG with the extended mag and group ammo with the support... 200 round clip before reload... deadly in the metro at the choke points.. that's all i play in the metro now...

except when i'm on the losing team and pinned down at the spawn points. then i switch to recon and patiently wait for a shot. If i'm on the losing team that spawns near C, i might stay in the support with the QBB-95 with the 12x scope set to single shot... lots of ammo (100 rounds) that does enough damage and suppression and makes the enemy snipers duck for cover without me having to take my eye off the scope to reload... allows my team some protection and the ability to strike back.

I seldom if ever play engineer... i've got several service stars for the other three classes.. hardly anything for engineer.

Oh yeah I completely forgot about those, probably because very few pilots use them.

I use them when i'm in the helicopters... but i tend to make myself an easy target when i use them, because i have to hover there in order to get the lock and launch on jets... i have a bad habit of increasing my altitude while trying to lock.

Thanks for the BF3 stats link in your sig, didn't know how to check my stats when not at home!

Woe unto those who join my opponents!

And it appears there is also a good chance I will save you or, failing that, avenge your death
Savior: Top 7% Avenger Top 8%

I'm such a good teammate! :hmm: Or maybe I just let my bait...er....teammates go in first?

I also think its amusing that the L85A2 was my favorite weapon of BF2 and BF3 (Top 2%)

And it sucks when it works for them, especially if you are the gunner on top, because you feel like you failed the tank. 🙁

Ha! Same here!

Im suprised there is such a large number of increased min damage values

Other notes:
Noooo!! My foregrip! 🙁
I thought the FAMAS had recoil issues (yay validation!)
My L85A2 is going to recoil more :'( 22->18 seems like a lot
Damnit - stop increasing the recoil on my favorite weapons:
QBB-95
Recoil up 0.45 -> 0.37
Recoil left 0.1 -> 0.4
Recoil right 0.3 -> 0.4
FirstSRecoilMul 1 -> 2
Recoil decrease 15 -> 13

Zargon and SLU are just jealous that I keep up with them on the boards without resorting to air rape.

On a related note, I know what you two were doing behind the cars in Karkand.

Honestly, it's a brilliant marketing plan.


Also, why is my BF3 showing as "Unreleased" in Origin and I can't access Battlelog? <googletime>

After the last patch I started getting those all the time during a game. I updated my NIC driver and that resolved the issue for whatever reason.

I do, however, get the second error EVERY time I quit a game during the game (and often when I quit at the end of a round) and then try to join another game
