This player doesn't buffer as well (or at all) as Putfile so you might want to pause it and give it a few minutes (or more, depending on connection) before playing.

Or if you don't like YouTube for whatever reason or can't get the player to work I've also made the video available on Filefronts high speed servers @ http://files.filefront.com/FILE_VOTE.../fileinfo.html

The AA missile/J-10/helicopter balance discussion begins anew at the dotted line.

Key talking points:

J-10, a little over the top? Or am I just that good?

AA missiles, overpowered heat-seeking minions of death, or just plain whacky?

Blackhawks or rubber boats, which is the new bastard step child of the Battlefield series?

Trees next to AA missile launchers, will they ever wise up and cut those suckers down?

Rear-mounted missile launchers, if a plane is flying forward at 1000mph and it fires a missile traveling at 5000mph out of one of his rear mounted missile launchers, what speed is the missile going?

Engage.

In reality, its nearly impossible for jets to dodge sidewinders, as they go much faster, and are more manuverable.

anyone complaining about overpowered aa missiles is a plane or helicopter whore, simple as that.

seriously, ive been on ghost town lots, and the helicopters still whore and camp tons, the one AA launcher is nowhere near enough to take them down.

seriously! flares make them miss, and by the time the AA reloads, youve got more flares!

only some kind of idiot pilot would hang around the AA missile area without destroying the AA missiles.

and the trees and other junk in front of the AA missile sites are on the planewhores side!

Dont shoot the flares, wait till they dissapate then fire 2 at the chopper

Oh comeon! That YouTube is feckin garbage and I have a healthy 21 KB download rate at FlieFront! Thats pwnage!

[Lugal317]

ya... Filefront needs to suck it up right now... I flew to about 20% and now I'm at 24kbs.... only 40 billion hours left on the dl.

So far from watching what I have seen in the Youtube.... You have been hit twice by AA's never once incurring damage. Have had it happen a few times myself. LOL

And, I love the rear mounted AA missiles.

I´m at 1.1 KB, hows your mom doing?

[Lugal317]

I´m at 1.1 KB, hows your mom doing?

Not too bad actually. I think she's watching MSNBC. Oh oh and my dad had jury duty today.

Btw, I'm down to 20kbs... perhaps mine will be at 1 soon. I can only hope.

Oh ya in light of the DICE mistake thing I want to add. I was playing Mashtuur today, knifed a guy's shoe through a wall and killed him. Yayer! Damn, I wish I had FRAPS running.

[Chris_Redfield]

Got my mom a rose today, Im staring at my screen watching the absolute lowest DL speed I have EVER seen. Shes staring at the ugliest rose she has EVER seen.

13%, 18 hours to go, constant at 1,1-1,7 KB. LOL

flares do not really work no idea what you are talking about.. All flares do is take off the "lock" you have so then the AA misses.. but if you already have lock and fire before flares or as long as you are pointed at the plane it will hit (confusing?)

any person who flys will know this

air to air is just to easy.. Everyone has there own opinion but it cant get any easier

I like how planewhore always backs up his opinion with vids while everyone else just types something

If you wacthed the vid shows how weak helis are now to jets.. 3 secs even without missles you can take down a transport heli

vid also shows how jets can still own everything air at least on wake but then again planewhore was not fired at very often and i didnt find many other jets also he is above the AVG flyer but this doesnt really matter on air to air so remember that

kind of have to skip most of it to see the parts with air to air..

Missles missed but went after another heli and took it out stuff like that.. some parts when you fire at another jet but did not even stay with him or point at him even when doing this you got the kill


Kind of a bad vid for showing air to air :P


flares need to work
Air to air needs to not be so easy
And the zig zagging/ 360 turns needs to be fixed
