I can't believe you put jets as a more serious threat than chopper's TV missiles and hydras.Comment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
Do you even drive tanks on maps with jets? Try this: get on Wake and hop in a tank. Go off onto the end of the airstrip. The enemy jets should be flying that way all the time to rape the airfield. See if your buzzer goes off.Originally posted by metallicaguitrst
It only goes off when: TVGM are heading straight for you, LGM are locked on, TOW/AT/APC is pointed at you. If it went off every time a jet flew by in bombing mode it would never stop buzzing on some maps.Comment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
Yea...Originally posted by daliupYou can go suck your own balls ****faces. Don't reply if you have nothing better to say. I simply have to use Armor at the moment and I've just noticed how easy it is to get killed by jets when using armor. Don't like the thread go suck yourself off.

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
I might suggest a few alternate techniques to help avoid the bombers on slower moving/less populated maps.
1. Use cover. If you are camping for targets or guarding a flag, park your armor in a shed, warehouse, etc.
2. Avoid the radar. If you are not in the heat of battle, get out of your vehicle and the target ID box goes away. If you are repeatedly getting smoked in AA, don't get in or fire until the plane is directly above or moving away. The trails of your missles and/or tracers can give you away.
3. Same goes for an AAA/IGLA station. Find the ones off to the sides of the map, and lay down next to it until the jet is above or past you, fire, and get out before he turns to spot you. I have killed the same helo crew 5 or 6 times in a row with that technique, without being spotted once.
4. When in battle, move against the grain. Moving diagonally across roads and feilds in relationship to the common/easy flight approaches gives a better chance of reacting and avoiding a direct strike. Use smoke, and change direction.
5. Fight to the end. If you try to run, you'll only die tired!

get a friend to drop a bomb from a fighter ontop of your tank and see for yourself!
and for people that have trouble hiding from jets, heres some tips:
on maps with bombers, let someone else use the tank and let them die instead
i find other maps ok, most fighter pilots suck and will double drop and barely hurt you, if at all!
half health in a tank/apc means one bomb will take you out instantly, repair or get rid of it.Comment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
Actually it doesnt register all the time. Those times you got shot down were out of luck. Usually, all you see is a small explosion but no kill....Originally posted by zipp0rComment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
The only answer I have is fight back. Its not easy but can be done. As an example last week I had 12 air craft kills, with a tank. Three attack chopper kills in one game.
The guy who killed Zippor was probably me, I always shoot back and sometimes get a kill. Either way Ive seen some pilots go away and not come back, they dont like being killed by a tank.
I think that I killed 2 jets on the Clean Sweep map last week. Makes the pilots mad and very dead. Good Luck. . . . . . . . . .RedComment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
J00 are a n00b, if you don't like it don't complain here.Originally posted by daliupOk I've just started using tanks to get my badge that I need for my next rank. And I've noticed how unbalanced and fking ANNOYING air to ground armor is! Everyone I've bombed from the air in the past I feel their pain.
On open maps it's impossible to drive around with tanks because jets can see you as a squer target from miles away and you have no defence! Tanks are like sitting duck waiting to be shot
Dice/EA should really fix this! Making so that jets can't see targets on the ground (no squar box) so they'd have to rely on mini-map more? Though, this could result in too many accidental TKs.
Give some defence mechanism for tanks??
Seriously... it sucks pants!#
You then also have attack choppers asttacking you and as well as AT kits... youre just trapped!... quiet offten a sniper will start shooting at you :laugh: giving his/hers position away and letting me blast him/her into air :laugh: poor souls...
I had to let that out coz im sick of whinners like you post here.
my solution: Whore up karkand, there is not jets nor helis on that mapComment

Re: Air to ground armor should be fixed!
Yesterday I took a plane out who flew over and hit it with a tankshell. No seriously I don't hope they are going to change it I'm really tired of all the changes this game had. At least the game is quite balanced now and tankers still get high k/d's as in Karkand or in Wake. Just make sure your jets take out the other jets or cap their base.
