My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

I find the hitboxes are a lot better when standing and crouching, but when prone it still seems a little skewed.

Can't comment about planes 'cos I prefer I/O....

And I'm p***ed off about them adding EU and AF 'cos I was one of the few who paid for them.........

Were you pissed off when the price of them was dropped to practically nothing?

erm, I think you'll find quite a few peeps paid for them. Nice that friends who now play bf2 who didn't back then get to enjoy some rather excellent maps for free, wp DICE.

I paid for both expansions and I'm happy they decided to release those maps for everyone to enjoy...

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

I don't think the ground guys understand the sheer epicness of this patch due to the better hitreg.

I don't even care about the whole J-10 thing. I can take them out blindfolded now so it's pretty stupid. I think they went a little overkill with the "balancing" but whatever.

But the cannons (because of the hitreg) are insane. You can now kill a jet that's like flying perpendicular to you at like a 45* upward angle or some ****.

Same applies to TV missles.. You can TV jets from any and all angles with ease.. and J-10's actually register now too (if you're a gunner you know this).


I don't even care what they f'ed up in infantry or their failed attempt of a map (FFS all you had to do was increase the boundaries north and south by like 20m...). The hitreg (in aircraft at least) is worth it.

Yeah, aircrafts are great.

Nothing feels better than gunning down those stupid bombers with the Littlebirds... my goodness it's fun.

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

Can the jet jockeys give me a quick rundown on what has happened to J10? And does the F18 still ditch missiles?

This patch looks to be a double-edged sword. I have yet to try 1.5 out, but it seems like the changes are really not absolutely well thought out.

...Littlebirds... my goodness it's fun.

If people thought soloing was bad, wait till they see how bad an expert littlebird pilot can rip them a new hole. :)

The only change I can confirm made to the J-10 was turn radius decreased (as in, it does not turn as tight as it used to), and even though the hitbox was left alone, the feedback has been that it is much easier to shoot them down now.

The F/A-18 wasn't changed at all, but AA missiles we're tweaked to make them more effective against all aircraft in the game. I'm not sure if this change applies to aircraft missiles, or just strictly AA, but I imagine it is both.

1.5 has been pretty well received overall. Granted, it is not everything to everyone, but considering the track record from DICE, I think we lucked out on this one.

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

holy **** its Redfield!!!

I will say the AA has improved a hell of a lot, the J10 does seem easier to shoot down but will still dominate most other planes, the F35 at least not under the J10s foot as it once was

and thank god for improvements in the hit reg, the cannons on the aircraft really do work a lot better

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

I can appreciate the cannon use and more reliable missile hits, but the fine balance between jets when it came to 1 vs 1 dogfights between "vets" may be in jeopardy. Mostly talking about F18 vs MiG here where all an F18 pilot could do was to hit the brakes at appropriate positions.

Its a bit difficult to see the picture here without having played 1.5 so far, so I was really digging around for some info on the top pilots. Its been rather scarce so far and (no offense) pub pilots havent really been able to give enough info on the fine aspects of dogfighting.

Im not really worried about the whole surface to air deal, as pilots will evolve faster than people on the ground, so all things considered, things will "normalize" real quick. Its the changes in the air that have colossal effects, even when were talking about little ones.

Basically, the J-10 has about the same, or slightly less of a turning radius than the f35 now.. (that's what it feels like to me.. May still be tighter but I don't care). F18 vs Mig is the exact same, except now the cannons register when you hit the actual model, and A2A seems to work better. Nothing in the sidewinder code has changed I think, so the whole inverted loop thing with the F-18 will be the exact same, because even in LAN you can do that. But in general missiles connect a lot more.

So far in any pub I've played on there hasn't been one bit of a challenge and I get bored fast now when I fly around.. I guess everyone started playing again and can't fly.. and I thought I was bad now.

This basically just speeds up dogfights in a 1v1 scenario.

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

I'm pretty crap in a jet, but I noticed that since the update missiles/cannons have been hitting more, so the gameplay is much more satisfying, as you dont feel as cheated as before :wee:

Re: My thoughts on 1.5 thus far

I'm loving this patch, simples.
