Yep...it takes two stingers to knock down a jet/chopter now and their range are limited...D:

It only takes 1 to disable so unless they have extinguisher or land right away they are going down. However, the stingers have -very- short range, pretty much don't work at all against stealth/below radar, and it still takes 2 shots to hit since the first one will always be deflected by flares/ECM. The only way to score a hit on a chopper is if they are loitering right above you and you get 2 shots off before they flee. It's still nearly impossible to hit a jet with one, unless you get lucky and their flares are on cool down since they will be out of range too quickly to get 2 off.

Anyone know when the next 2XP event will be? I have 3 classes (assault, support, engineer) all over 95% to the next service star. :D

I guess I should snipe and shotgun with the recon class for a while to build up my accuracy stats anyhow. They've fallen into the cellar from all of my noob-like spraying. D:

I seriously discount accuracy. It's easy to inflate and if you're playing good, you sometimes dump whole mags just to suppress. Accuracy is probably only good to compare with yourself within a weapon group. For some reason I have better accuracy with AKs but I prefer M16s and have higher kills/minute with them.

My mistake... but if anyone is wondering, I spawn kill every chance I get... I'm one of those players that I would kill someone but not their medic... Medic keeps reviving him and I keep killing him - if he complains I tell him just don't accept the revive from your medic...:p

Heh - I treat recently killed people as bait - just waiting for some medic fixated on the revive points

having them pinned is one thing, when its an open game with the caps split its another thing

To be honest I wish they did the uncap thing differently. I really miss being able to run in and steal the enemy's vehicle. That may or may not have been after an indeterminate amount of time knifing snipers and spawnkilling unsuspecting victims In the right hands it was frequently the only way to turn the game around.

Shoot first, knife last. ;)

I've been screwed by bad knife animations/them turning at the last second so many times I pretty much always shoot first

you still can, you just need a jeep though to get in and out faster, and of course it only works now on air assets where you arent in uncap if you are in an air vehicle

and yeah knife bones you somtimes hard

now you tell me... for the past two months I have ECM on my jet...D:

i cannot count how many times it wouldnt activate though its saying ECM ready in the hud, or when its on and I still get hit by AA missles :(

Driving through the snowy trail at 1:04 in the video posted above makes my heart race. If we can only get EA/Dice to up the player counts to 96 or 128 players I would be completely set.
