In clan matches copters are very powerful. TV-guide can destroy tanks even before they have moved a inch.

Only if a chopper pilot and gunner work together and know what they're doing. The already narrow options we started with are getting even more narrow... Pretty soon they'll make it so the knife damaged a tank to 1/4 of it's full health and throwing a medpack at any light vehicles make them explode.

Re: To all of you bunny hoppers, dolphin divers, and apologists...

I'm really excited about some of the fixes. The buff to LMG accuracy might make the LMG applicable outside of urban maps. I'm also hoping that the improvement for the G3 is with regards to accuracy, as it's frustrating having to duke it out with a prone G36C'er a half mile away with a rifle that should, by all logic, rival the sniper rifles in accuracy (but doesn't).

But the decreased aircraft HP? Aircraft die in 2 missiles and helicopters are taken down fairly easily with the heavy caliber machine guns. They weren't invincible (if you could hit them, that is). I kind of wish LMGs did more damage to helicopters, but it's not usually that hard to find a DPV sitting around somewhere.

I'm also curious about how they're adjusting the AA missiles. As most of you already know, "locking-on" enemy aircraft (or flares) does nothing more for the missiles than activate them; it doesn't make the missile selectively track the heatsource it's locked onto (newbies, this is why you keep getting TKs with the missiles, there is no such thing as a lock-on, per se).

I am a little concerned with chopper HP reductions too, as I find much pleasure in shooting them down with the .50 cal MGs. If it gets a lot easier to do, there will be a shortage of heli pilots and an oversaturation of people camping in transport vehicles - which means I'll have to find another hobby.

I can't wait for the new patch, sounds like they are finally making changes that should have been made way back in 1.03. Now for the red name bug.....

I don't know about taking the Heli missles from 14 to 8...they SHOULD put the TV missles back to normal visual mode...I hate looking at the squiggly screens hurts my eye...also make it harder to kill things.

Re: To all of you bunny hoppers, dolphin divers, and apologists...

- Helicopter now carry 8 missiles rather than 14
- TV-Guided missile now have a shorter range
- Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced
- AA missile lock has been improved
- Support kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Sniper kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- Anti-Tank kits have had their primary weapons adjusted for accuracy
- "Dolphin Diving" is no longer possible
- Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time- "Prone Spamming" is now fixed
- "Sprint exploit" is now fixed
- The Sa80 weapon has been improved
- The G3A3 weapon has been improved
- Reload while sprinting has been enabled
- Chinese and MEC APCs can now shoot through penetrable materials
- Damage decreased for the M134
- Medic defibrillator paddles have been adjusted. They now reload while not in use.

I would like to know who the hell EA is listening too? More than half(in Bold) of these "Fixes" are not neccesary, and if anything makes it easier for people with skill to dominate. Soo much for practice practice practice, all you have to do now is cry and whine on the Forums and you will get your way. Seems like two steps in the wrong direction if you ask me.

Yea, some of them are pretty "out there", but I am glad to see that they're bringing the L8 and G3 back from the brink of uselessness.

Now for the red name bug.....

Yeah, where is the fix for that. We've been asking for that since the beginning. Clearly there hasn't been enough whining and complaining or they would have included it.

TBH, I only started playing Assault when I bought SF(F2000 is nice!), but as far as the L8(The Medic Weapon?) I think it's alright as is, just my opinion.

There are some real issue that need adressing. AA tracking is a problem currently. It's not subjective, it's just broken.

As for these other "fixes" they seem to be mixed between not required/asked for and really bad ways to solve issues that people want tweeked.

I know it's arrogant of me, but seriously... I'm a trained mechanics designer and this lack of vision makes me want to scream!
