But with the AA combo that I just said its very possible for choppers not be shot down by Stingers at all. Also Jets are now doing really scary strafes attacks with the nose cannon doing massive damage as I hop at my tank with a Stinger to shoot them down but they they just fly away laughing and the only decent non-AA solutions other than the mobile AA is the Coxal HMG on a tank...

But the .50 cal is much better as it does not "drop" by much at all and only a very few shots are need to disable the chopper. I can see how some people want Jets to be buffed but the whole point of AA is to stop Jets from doing ground sortees and its not doing its job on a lvled up Jet...
Yes, the lighting is one of the effects that distracts my focus from the game.
Especially those idiotic flashlights

That's why I have never understood why people make those jets such a big deal. So far I have only seen them fighting with each others like they should, but are totally irrelevant whats happening in the match. No one doesn't even seem to bother with the helicopters that are free to rape ground troops.
Just flying graphic decorations on the sky.
DICE did at least a good job on the jets and heli's, making them NOT overpowered like in BF2.
But you had, on the other hand, great satisfaction when you hit and downed a jet or heli with your AT missile or parked humvee .30cal in BF2.
Try it, on Wake2007 in BF2. Its great fun when you succeed.

It's also quite amusing to just aim and get a target lock on an unsuspecting aircraft. If they don't have flares, or forget they do, they'll just spin wildly out of control in an attempt at avoidance...often crashing into buildings, or friendly jeeps. :evil:
Is it still possible to simply use the afterburner to avoid getting hit by missiles like it was in the beta?
Its nice to have admins in PC gaming, because on consoles this kind of thing can be greatly exploited until fixed.

Yes, oh yes as my Stingers never kill anyone as they just speed away from the rockets. At the current moment I have Jets trying to ground strafe my AA tank, no body fears AA at the moment and once people start getting really good at jets its gonna be scary. I know people say "its up to your team jets to shoot them down" but ANYONE can take a jet and if some n00b with no unlock keeps on taking jets from good players the rest of us should not be so screwed...
Oh and before anyone says "its a crap player just moaning":

The AA tank is ****ing hilarious as I am fairly good in it and once I unlocked thermals I was all like:
Its useless at point blank range as the turret does not go low enough but you could mow down a good part of a team with one...
How the **** do the mortars work? They're so goddamn annoying on every single map when they just magically know where you are and zero in on you in seconds -_-

If its like bc2 the sniper has one. With all the unlocks tho I get confused at wtf is going on sometimes too.
Superbugs on a WASP.
The game does look pretty though. How have patches/drives make the performance? Anyone running a GTX 260? If so what frame rates do you get?
