Once you unlock the rocket pod you really shouldn't look back. The MG and the RP make for a 1-2 combo that few can withstand, if you manage to hit with both of them. Nothing like balling over a low-flying helicopter with the MG and watching it pancake into the ground. sogood.
if you get a good pilot and a halfway decent gunner the attack chopper can be devastating. spam q while looking all over the map as the gunner, and you can get a bunch of player kills with the explosive rounds. spam it at vehicles and it makes it easier for the pilot to notice them, and if he does one rocket strafing run while you shoot, and you both have a halfway decent hit rate, 1 run and the vehicle goes kaboom.

The server lag and rubberbanding are getting worse for me on 360.
I picked up the game at launch and its played pretty well up until this evening.
This is the worst its been. It feels like Bad Company 2 was at launch, which is to say its more or less unplayable. :/

I just avoid jet combat. I have no problems killing other jets, it's just the fact that they do respawn so quickly, as well as the fact that everyone wants to waste time dog fighting that it just becomes less and less fun.
Jets = irrelevant as they are right now. You don't have a chance to do anything to help the ground forces out, so in the end you're just stuck not helping at all since there's constantly some douche trying to fire zee missiles at you.

So how do I customize my soldier for both teams? The my soldier section is just my us guy. I unlocked some stuff for my AK but can't attatch it.

When I revive somebody with my defib my guy will sometimes yell, "die motherfucker!". Working as intended right?

I think the jet respawn time should be drastically higher so that when you die you don't get to hop back into a jet 2 seconds later. I'm fine with jet combat, but it's pointless when I shoot someone down - and then 30 seconds later they're back and annoying the shit out of me again. If I shoot you down, you should be out of the game for at least 3 or 4 minutes before another jet spawns.
Now, onto tanks.
PC-GAF, I just unlocked guided shell for tanks. Who wants to coop with me (including mumble) somewhere so I can give it a whirl with someone that doesn't suck?

Tonight was much better than before. The medic rez/heal spam on allies and flag capture turned out to be very effective in CQ. Lots of warm and sweet xp. Hell, I even managed to get positive K/D multiple times.
It's amazing how fun this game can be when you don't die in less than 30 seconds after each spawn.

what situations are the guided shell useful in anyways? you get someone else to lock on a target then you just let it fly, or something? what do they use to lock on for you?
i have them unlocked but the lock-on distance is so short that i'd rather just use the main gun shells which are faster

Behold. Shooting down jets and helicopters with a tank.
I need someone that can laser shit :x
P.S. You can laser ground targets as well, so it significantly extends the range... that's why two people are required for the ownage to be dished out.
mcrae said:
Yeah, I haven't found the guided shell that useful either. Just got the thermal optics myself it's pretty sweet but I think I'll stick to my previous setup.
Played some support on the GAF server just now since I've pretty much maxed out engineer unlock wise. Felt odd at first not to have my trusty RPG at hand but that machine gun rips through bodies like a knife through butter!

someone said that they tweaked the visuals in Battlefield 3... did he explain how he did it yet?

Heatseekers are annoying, but the people that can use the jet's cannons scare me to death. One second you're flying and the next you're a fireball.1stStrike said:

The gun descriptions really give no indication of what makes one better than the other, unless I'm missing something?

A friend and I started Kharge Island with guided rockets on an M1 and a recon with the SOFLAM. It was glorious. The sky was a target rich environment, the ground was like a moving targets range, and the tank has unlimited rockets.
Later on it was difficult to get a set up that was as efficient, but it is still a solid squad tactic if the ground guys can still punish with the missing MBT.

You know, I'd love to do some SOFLAM'ing. I was setting up targets for Penny the other day, and having a blast doing it.

True true, I've been doing that. I just find it weird is all. Not even the slightest description almost makes it feel like they're trying to say there is no difference.Raide said:

Okay, so finally found someone with SOFLAM and... yeah. It fucking rocks. I was on the other side of a hill, while a tank was hiding behind a wall. I locked on and my shell flew over the hill and hit them on the other side of the wall, gaining me a kill.
I also fucked up other tanks from a distance while they were trying to align their aim and hit a moving target - I was driving around fully locked on and firing away with no need to worry about aiming.
Also, shot down a helicopter...
So yeah. SOFLAM ftw. It's a complete tide turner with the right team.

I still don't know how the fuck SOFLAM works. I picked up an enemy's kit, played around with SOFLAM. I was... lost.
Best part of the game may be playing as a Russian medic, there's a hilarious stream of obscenities that seems to fire off everytime I revive someone :
Squad member gets shot, run up to him to revive him
"TAKE THIS MOTHER FUCKER!"
and voila! teammate revives. It's as if I can revive people by the power of swearing really loudly.
