Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

I agree. The stingers are quite useless. It´s nearly impossible to shoot down a plane with them and even helicopters are difficult.
Most stingers don´t hit because of flares and the time you have reloaded the plane is long gone or already resupplied and repaired.
Stingers should make more damage and hit better.
And I think it would be a very good idea to change one main thing for planes and helicopters; they must land and stand to resupply and be repaired on a airfield!!!!!! Not just by flying over it. That´s not only unrealistic but it also gives ground vehicles and infantry the chance to destroy a plane or helicopter! :yay:

mashtuur can be ruined by bh whores.
sharqi is pretty balanced (but HATE good mec attack chopper pilots).
karkand is the BEST because there are no chopper/planes.

But of course reloading a tank with a supply kit is very realistic. They say some tanks can be reloaded just by looking at them.
The reason jets get repaired and resupplied by flying over is not to make it so much difficult comparing to the rest of the vehicals which only need a soldeir with a kit by them. If it will be removed, jets will have no purpose. BF without jets is not BF. The basic idea of the BF series is you can battle with everything on the battlefield.

Try practicing your skills instead of trying to make skillful players life's harder.

I love the jets.. I fly all the time... I also see that the AA does need a little help... It'll be better for me that way.. Keep the tards out of the air.. : ) Seriously though, they need to make the super-quick unguided SAMs from DC a secondary fire option on stationary AA sites... (The mobile AA is fine, since you can use the guns if you have any aiming skill)... But the sites DO need help...

The best help they can get is to get repositioned :)

those that are low enough to benefit from 360° field of view usually stand right next to a series of trees, walls of sandbags, etc, etc.. those that are too high have allmost 360° view are either in locations no plane ever crosses anyway or are set up so enemy planes can creep in underneath your field of fire.

Adding an MG would make the stinger a lot more popular and usefull indeed! I can only hope

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Karkand is popular because there isnt all the jet and chopper whoring..

with the exception of that gay ass magical map with all your enemies location
on it 24/7.... Karkand is a straight forward infantry map, the way they all
should be..

I am boring with this game, and all of its silliness quickly.. chopper capping,
and the constant UAV/SCANs are just about the stupidest things I ever seen.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

I like vehicles in general. Vehicles were a major reason I started playing BF42. I don't mind helos (except the overpowered BH) but I would be perfectly happy if there were no jets in the game at all.

32+ player Karkand actually doesn't have that rigid of a frontline. There's almost always a US squad or lone-wolf sneaking around the flanks or flying down the streets in a humvee to one of the back flags. So I don't think transport helos would be too bad (if they couldn't capture flags while in the air). It would be a good mod to have a version with no vehicles but I'd still play the original too.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Karkand would be greatly improved in my opinion if the tanks were eliminated or the spawn time between them seriously increased. APCs too...they can be just as deadly on an infantry map.

An urban map with nothing but Humvees on it would be heaven for me...

blackhawks would still kick ass

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Well the thing is if you wanna play with vechicals there should be nouf for everyone or at least a short way to the bases. If there was a crapload more vechicals and everyone had one it would be fair. Tanks in karkand are just stupid to, everyone just whores them.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

I used to hate how frequent Karkand was on and I now see why...it's become my favorite now ever since I had my best scoring games on there. No air at all is an advantage.

Who says you can't shoot down nothing with the MANPADS in game? Used right, just wait for the tone, wait for the flares and get off two quick ones. The m6 and the Tunguska are great, I think the Tunguska is FEARSOME!

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

i think they took out the aircraft cuz of the dust lowering visiblity by a ton

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

plus it wouldnt be "flying" weather so the usmc would cancel all flights and stuff

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Karkand is popular because it has the most action. You don't have to walk 400m to the next flag or worry about f15s bombing you. But that artillery will murda u a bunch of times.

Re: Why everyone likes Karkand: NO AIRCRAFT.

Karkand is the best infantry map and thats why i like it the tanks are down quick and it seems people decide to fight on foot more and its more fun i dont know what the rest of you think but i think infantry is the best part of the game and i cant wait for special forces
