: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!

hehe, I havent downloaded it yet, I am just enjoying the flyboys complaining already. I like flying the helos and jets, but I rarely get them and sometimes just before I do...bam tk'ed. To hell with airpower.

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

The best news after installing the patch is that we can finnaly take the jets down. I never played CS and i played Battlefield since DesertCombat days. This is a game and that is the way it should be. whether you are in a jet or a tank or on your foot you should have a chance of getting killed. The jets were redicilious and absured. Now we can play!
Damn those jet pilots who though they were very skilled when they got those redicilous K/D ratios. Now they can show us their "skill". I am sure that ALL of them did not have that skill reflected by their scores.

Well done DICE/EA! now back to the fight!

That is great news. It was soo unrealistic, taking multiple tankhits and still fly. As to the AA, it was useless, so if it now actuallu works, great, props to EA.

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

what does air to air missile do now?

If you have a lock, the missile will CHASE you down, 100% of the time. The ONLY way to avoid missile is to use flare and very violent manuver

This IS real life.

In real life, spec ops are sent in to disable anti air before air force or helicopter go in, so no, it's not only in CS.

This game isn't ment to be realistic.

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

so the new 1.2 jets serve as transport purpose in the game?
or kamakazi style sort of things.

see... nobody wants the jet since it sucks(if they all find out). so some1 can c4 the jet and crash into enemy commander's toys :p

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

I love ground pounding..... but I sincerely hope it is not as easy to take down jets and choppers as they say. It SOUNDS like the jets and choppers are useless even if you do have skill. That is not how the game should be. I'm seriously glad they gave the IGLAs a better lock THEY NEEDED IT! But, if they do this to this degree, they also need to give the Jets and choppers a better flare system! Flaring in BF2 is not how it was done in other games, but with pre-1.2 it was ok because IGLAs did suck.

They will need to give Planes and choppers a limited number of flares that can be used at pilots discretion, or a much better release times. To truly balance this game for skill. Devs made it half the way, heres hoping they can make it the rest with flare mechanics in the next patch.

The really good Jetpilots will survive, first not but they will learn.
But the absolut domination is over, YEAH.

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

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.

good, i have a 7/1 jet ratio, and i bet it will only go up, why? because i use tactics, if i get l0ocked on to, i leave the area.

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

The blackhawk is useless now, period.

nope, its seves a damn fine roll, insertion/resupply, it was never intended to be a combat support weapon.

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

In that case.

Nice.
Ya missed the subtext I think, tho.

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

Erm. A pilot who has honed his skills up to be what he is can be shot down by a guy who "jumps into IGLA, fires 2 shots, jumps out and collects 1-2 kills".

This is not balance, ladies and gentlemen. This is mockery.

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

So if you're on Mashtuur in a tank does it only take 1 hit to destroy a heli?
