there are many scenarios where it's ok not to die in the tank, but they still don't come close to the amount where you should. and yeah, if you're in or near the enemy base, die in the tank.

Does the grenade actually put a dent on something? Because I throw grenades all a time and the tank is barely harmed by it.
I'd rather the person driving the tank "go down the ship" than bail, have the enemy steal it, randoms not fire at it and they repair and then use it against us.
a grenade does like 4-8 damage to a tank depending on where it hits and armor/exp spec.

I wish there was a way for the pilot to tell which gunner is getting the kills on the blackhawk >.>...I don't want to say "dude the other gunner sucks, switch to my side", but you should get the message when one guy is firing like crazy but you see no +50s.
they can tell if they pay attention. if not, they suck as a pilot! 2nd seat is your right side gunner, 3rd is on your left side. whoever's name is popping up as killing dudes, favor their side. it's not hard for them to figure out!

Got my first piece of hate-mail tonight: "Fuck off, you sad fuck.":lol
It was on Vantage point, defending first set. I went recon, which I never do on that map, with the SVD and used a perch, above the wooden structure right of alpha, that I copied from watching Faceless. Was doing ok, but kept getting killed by guys with the M40, so I switched to that too and started doing work, felt fucking amazing. That spot is awesome and gives you a complete view of their spawn but you don't last very long up there.
yeah, that spot is awesome, did you see the spot in the hills to the side of A/B on Cao Son CQ?

I haven't done Jihad Humvee as often as I did pre-nerf, I wonder if they've fixed the paper-mache HP of it to where landing a jump on Arica's hill (you know the one) on suicide bomb runs won't auto-suicide you because the game decides to clip you into the ground and then raise--DETONATE THE C4! >:|
just pump the brake/reverse right before the crest of the hill. it stops you from flying off.

I probably make a bad teammate. :lol
I'm still learning the ropes, so please give me slack.
One thing I know I've got to work on is trying not to be a lone-wolf. I'm so used to playing that role because that's usually how I play other shooters like Call of Duty and Halo. Another thing I have a bad tendency to do is only worry about killing people rather than actually going for the objectives. I think I'm getting better though. It will just take time.
sometimes, not killing people is a great tactic. many times i have snuck into a great position behind enemy lines and just let people walk by, waiting for my squad to spawn or a vehicle, or a better opportunity to arm a crate, etc...

How are you guys finding vanilla at the moment in terms of clearing out servers? I'm in a social gaming clan (similar to the guys who wear GAF tags really) playing on the new Australian servers, and every time we squad up we end up up spawn raping (in conquest) or sitting waiting for attackers to leave their initial spawn (in rush). This happens after only a handful of games, and it's happening every fucking time. I don't know if it's the case that all of the good players have moved to Vietnam, or if Aussie randoms are just really bad, but it's abysmal.
We've agreed to split our guys now so that they're on both teams to avoid it, is that something GAF has to do?
that happens in Vietnam and Vanilla! i play with GAF, Dr. and RK1 peeps on 360 and it doesn't matter if it's Vanilla or Vietnam, Rush or CQ, stuff like that just happens when too many of us are on the same side.

You can still be lone wolf and be a team player. I consider myself a lone wolf. I still help watch my squad's back from a distance.
same here.

ok dudes, advice needed.
ive got exactly one more achievement from the base game left to get, and i would love to knock it out before the big grind on the SPECACT and Vietnam achievements. guessed which one it is yet? Demolition Man of course.
looks like i have 6 now. pleasantly surprised at that actually.:lol
so what are some good ways of finishing off these last fourteen 2.0 kills? mortars, c4, tanks?
any advice on specific levels to play on, classes, etc would be appreciated. id love to put this one to bed for good this week.
thanks.
keep blowing stuff up? i dunno what advice i can give other than D2.0 objective buildings whenever you have the chance. i've got 130 on 360 and 117 on PS3, and most of them weren't explicitly planned, they just happened because i was blowing shit up.
