I R Working, but there are some guys that I dunno how they do this work and playing games thing. Gonna take a screenie and mail to their bosses :)
 
I didnt enjoy my gaming for the first time last night... probably because i sent so many stingers at the helo's and didnt get any kills.

1st stinger... flared
2nd... flared again.
3rd... hit but seems to only put a light scratch on the paintwork.

Why did they change the power of stingers? They need to stop listening to every child's whim on this crap.

Anyway, got to make the best of it :)

Got to say the AA's are starting to work on my nerves. They take a year to destroy and they instant kill me on the ground. The choppers do feel a bit harder to shoot down if its good pilots and gunners.

Having said that if 4 people shoot stingers at one time the choppers dont have much of a chance to be honest.

LOL Jack, I had to revert one night for the first time since the beta to switch on my flashlight as even my teamies was blinding me. I first ran corner to corner to blind everyone that blinded me and then went to shoot some people :)

70% of my team kills are teammates that run around with their flashlight on all the time,hard to see the small blue dot on their head in the heat of battle.the other 30% are mostly teammates who run toward enemy armor without any explosives and then would stand still next to the enemy armor while it's shooting us,they usually eat a rocket.

Question, can the real world vehicle be used for the same purpose? Cannot see why not, waste of many bullets and tracers and detracting from it's main purpose. But the RL AA's bullets are aimed by the radar dish, not by the operator.

A single well aimed stinger can take out an Hind. Yeah, BF3's weapons are tweaked to operate within the game environment. Wish for a SAM2 or SM-2 SAM site in game and no one will dare to take off.

4 people shooting four stingers at once wont help as the flares will defeat them all at once, BUT if 4 ppl coordinate and shoot at different times well...that could end up differently

Essentially whats best is get 1 dude to shoot, helicopter flare, THEN all 3 okes lockon at once and then theres no escape

I know this because obviously i have tried it and im in the air alot....thats the way i'd do it atleast
 
As far as i know (and im by no means an expert) but the real AA guns or tanks like the one who shot me last night while i was running can i suppose under certain circumstances shoot infantry but they tend to be used for air vehicles in real life. But then again its a game it comes down to balance becuase the last time i checked if a stinger is locked on a chopper in real life you can have a mountain of flairs your badboy is going down.

But hey a well directed .50 sniper round can take down a chopper in one shot in real life so yeah. Game has to try and balance it out across the board.

Edit: Some real life Stingers dont use heat as guidance. So flares wont be a factor.

Team Work!!!
 
If the gunner has flares a chopper is unstoppable unless you have a jet that has its purpose chopper hunting.

Ja teamwork. But it also kills teamwork because a whole team needs to be engineer? What about tanks?

@jaco, ja had ok games... in one game I was tank driver, jeep driver, helo pilot, jet pilot, boat pilot.... wasn't finding a groove :)

Side note, mobile AA on brimstone? That would help a bit on canals.

I like how the iGame guys are making an effort though. Even if my IS account doesn't connect very well, at least they are around (same with wage) to talk to us.

I'm going to ignore the power trip comment
@ SS
Last night went fairly well although we did have that crash before 11
We will keep monitoring but will run Mixed mode on that server, with the increased ticketload as requested for the time being
There may be one more server change incoming, but that won't directly have an effect on Brimstone

We played last night at about elevenish. Round concluded and on the screen where it tallies ribbons and awards etc it bombed. Server was visible again in the browser after about a minute. So we joined and played another round and exact same thing happened in exact same place. Kak thing was, all awards, ribbons didn't count, as I know I played for one medal and got it first time round, but it doesn't show in my awards page. Just thought you might like to know. And it was all the guys on TS with me that experienced the same DC
 
that one stationary AA on the island map is totally f*cked up! that damn idiot was camping it from the ship and killing people capturing points at B (dry docks), A (container area) and C ... how the hell is it possible for that thing to aim from that distance
 
already tried geting 3 guys to shoot down a chopper,it has 2xstealth and 1xflares.i lock on and fire,flares.next guy locks on and fires,flares again.then the next guy locks on and fires and guess what,flares again.
 
The silly thing is that the chopper was fine before... in fact maybe OP before.... so now it is just crazy.


The only thing i wouldve increased is its aversion to being knocked.

I apologise, the awards are now showing. My bad.

Den at the time of the problem I reported to Spartan and told him this morning about the other crash... So they are aware, Must admit the server ran well tho the rest of the time and we had epic fun :)
