They play it, but they sure play it differently. They don't see any problem with the spawn routes because they don't spawn rape, they would never hot-swap seats so they don't understand instant take-off, etc. Didn't someone high up at DICE tweet that they "played like gentlemen"?

gentlemen don't fly with gunners, confirmed.
Ya they for sure don't play like the people over in the NA servers, with their try hard pants pulled up to there chins. A friend and I have been going into Australian servers and having 10x more fun, a tad bit of lag but way more laid back.
Only by enforcing custom rules.

Delaying the flares without removing them completely would've help
DICE
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure they will bring back gunner's flare eventually.
As a big Tank user the change in delay to taking over your secondary weapon is gonna throw me off big time. As if the last patch which turned tanked into tin foil wasn't enough.
These patch notes read as a group that has no idea how to team play or use the tools already in the game to take down vehicles. So they just nurf the hell out of everything to make it simple for them.
ugh

The positives changes in these notes (like the ones concerned with server browser info) should have been there since the beginning. The negatives (gunner flares nixed) are baffling.
If you don't have anything nice to add, DICE, leave it alone.
P.S. 360GAF is virtually indestructible.

Yo, I'll be back on in about 10min if you want play.
Other reasonable option could have included:
- Increased SAM missile speed
- Increase SAM damage to always disable
- Increase SAM reload speed
- Increase SAM initial ammo count
- Increase SAM lock on spread when ADS
- Increase AH flare cool down time
- Increase AH ECM cooldown
In fact just doing the first 5 all at the same time would have made the SAMs infinitely more effective without hindering helis vs any other form of lock on. The fundamental problem with taking away flares on the heli is that it makes it not just more vulnerable to SAMs but to every other weapon that can lock on to air vehicles and there are a lot of those. How DICE did not consider these changes and just went straight to screw the AHs is beyond me. Then they went and changed the AH damage... which is just fine the way it is. Giving me a little more stopping power does not make up for taking my gunner's flares away.

Says the people who have trouble
And yet when you hit a chopper with a regular tank shell, the damn thing doesn't explode instantly.... instead you get a blam........disabled..................bail..................vehicle destroyed. Such bullshit.
Pretty sure this will be my last Battlefied.
Between the constant "ballancing" if you can even call it that anymore, the hit detection/server interpretation issues and the boneheaded decisions which makes them come of as completely clueless as to what they want to even do with this game, it still doesn't feel half as much fun as BC2 did.
Seems they really did catch a bad case of the Guerrilla-virus.

The only chopper that a tank doesn't OHK is the transport chopper. If you hit a scout or attack they die instantly.

Well, looks like my 80GB PS3 also decided to die (might be HDD problem, but I got no time to test it for now.)
Fortunately for me, I had a slim laying around....I mean...the Christmas Present I was planning to give to my little cousin.
...
Sorry little cousin, PS3-BRO-GAF comes first.....

This is the dedication you only see on PS3. Where you at XBOX GAF?

360s don't die
I had 2 red rings before I got the XBOX slim and zero dead PS3.

I'm pretty sure it's just the upgraded HDD dying on me.
Everything was super slow. Takes like 5 minutes to get out that one private message.
ANYWAY
server renewed for 1 month.
Bunch of people added as admin (thn, sekoku, rock, blah blah blah)
Deal with it if i'm not there.
Oooooo so I can ban people? The power I now bare muahahahahaha.
Don't worry I won't ban anyone.
How big is it?

Hmm, i am feeling a little flu-ish. Might have to leave work RIGHT NOW and go home to download this! 
If only the Vita would have some sort of Remote Access that would allow me to download and install the patch and AK...

100/10, never been able to max it on psn though - 10-15 meg at best usually
AK is up in the PSN store but not the in-game store at the moment

Ugh, it's only up in EU stores. I still can't find it in the US PSN store.
The Faceless Master

it's totally not gonna be up in the US store until this evening amirite?
I hope not because that would suck. Downloaded the patch for PS3 and PC, going back to bed.
I can't find it in the Dutch PSN store, so I don't think its up everywhere.
