Re: Info about AA in 1.21

Will have to play a few more rounds before i can really tell if it's going to be complete ownage form the air again.
My impression right now is they are better than before the 1.2 patch, but no where near as good as in the 1.2 patch.

So your saying it's unbalanced again? Now it's back to pilots having a 40 to 1 kill to death ratio.

noo, its just been toned down a little bit. missiles can still kill planes quite easily, but their movements are less erratic and the flares are still quite innefective.

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

That's my point. Should of been left alone.

Has the damage of the AA remained the same?

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

no this was at 200-300 ft on dilian plant with only a shallow rate of climb the F-35 has deffintly got faster in this patch than what we were previously used too

hm well i managed about 2800mph at 850-900ft with the f35 and 3200mph with the j10 at 850-900ft, both with burner full on.
i dont remember going that fast unless i had gone out of control at height, maybe your right

either way the j10 is still faster as i was chasing one earlier and my god can it pull away from the f35 !!

edit tell me what file as i have 1.2 on my old hardisk

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

doesnt really matter though as long as both planes can out run a missile with these speeds we can go back to the good old days of boardgun fighting.

It really has p1ss3d off the noobs in the EA UK servers though they cant missle spam for free kills anymore

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

forget that last post that was info for the landing gear speeds lol im looking for the max thrust speeds now

[zipp0r]

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

hm just loaded up the older version and the plane speeds are the same, i actually went super sonic in the f35 at 800ft, which was about 3400mph LOL

i think why its different is cos we always wasted the afterburner getting upto that height!!

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

at the end of the Air_f35b.con file there is the instruction

include air_f35b.tweak

Im pretty sure this is a new file that just arrived with this patch looking at the demo version files there is no file by the name air_f35b.tweak

EDIT:

looks like i was wrong

date on the tweak file is 23/1/2006 guess it came in the 1.2 patch but we were to busy getting owned by zig zag missiles to notice the difference in the speeds of the jets

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

I still have 1.2.... where in the BF2 folders do I go?

Re: Info about AA in 1.21

thats what i meant it came in 1.2 but we didnt noticed any difference because the AA was so severe now the AA isnt as harsh we are noticing the differences in the tweak files
