Anyone been in the 1.2 air? Its thick... in fact

[Lugal317]

I'm never going into the air again if the AA is going to lock onto its target everytime.

Flares work great, but they only last a few seconds. And if anyone is in an AA after those few seconds, bottom line? YOU'RE DEAD.

What we (SecretsofBattlefield.com) have so far

-- Cobra vs. Tank (basically 1 tank shot) - doesn't bother me
-- BH vs. Tank (basically 1 again) - The BH seems to be the more nerfed of the choppers
-- Anything without flares coming out of its backside is DEADMEAT, no matter what you do.
-- GL's don't bounce right, you can still shoot them at your feet

More to come, but the rest will be posted on the site in a comparison chart. Hopefully, we should have it up by tomorrow so click on my sig to check us out.

Good. Aircraft are finally vulnerable to ground pounders. The way it should be.

Its more than that guys, the airplanes are helpless. IMHO they won't even be used. I just joined a server and had 6 AA kills in the first 5 minutes.

Ok my 2 cents...

Everyone and ther fuking brother is now a sniper.....

The blackhawk is useless now, period.

The shockpaddles take forever to charge up after ur 4th try.

wtf happened to knife accuracy?


.....only good point is the game performance seems better.

There's a difference between having "vulnerable air vehicles" and having an IGLA so precise that nothing (I repeat: nothing) can last more than 10 seconds in the sky: instead of choosing a balanced approach to solving this problem, they have transformed Battlefield into Counter-Strike with vehicles, the latter which can only be used to get from point A to point B faster than doing so on foot.

Essentially, air vehicles are now completely useless... and this is coming from an ace helicopter pilot: we've been reduced to hiding away from anything other than the occasional TV or kamikazee run. Congratulations, whiners: you have finally won...

You know, I could seriously care less. Hell, if a good jet pilot can successfully get into the air and make one or two bomb runs before getting shot down, then so be it, thats how it should be. None of this whole round bombing runs crap with 60 kills and like 2 deaths and those 2 being rams...

Ahem @ Sloi. It's looking like they overdid everything in this patch.

RedHeadedFreak has a good point though. It's quite likely that those in the air will see their K/D drop to something more in-line with the rest of the game's roles.

My gosh...I Really Am hoping none of this is true, yet am pretty sure they are. Sigh..

I am a support player, and i would like to take this time to give a big "HELL YEAH !!!!" The support guns finally have some accuracy while in the proned position.. I hope we can finally get respect that we deserve; we'll finally be able to lay down cover fire that will actually cause the enemy to get out of the way; instead of just dropping to a knee and taking 3 seconds to line up a head shot while our bullets whizzed by them...

anyone else notice an enemy's rank shows up over his head with this patch? I had my cross hairs on this dude, then my eyes caught a glimpse of his shiny bars right before I died

:laugh:
Well, that certainly didn't take long.

I knew the post patch complaints would come rolling in, but I didn't figure they'd start up before it's even offically released!

lemme guess, you like the fact that you are safe in a bomber right? You are probably one of those twits that will tk for it at the beginning of a round.

I like the fact DICE is trying to balance the game a bit more. There is no reason that the bomber pilot (or jet pilot for that matter) should be invincible to ground fire.

Btw I hated CS, I came from Medal of Honor to BF2.
