Guess what fellas. Same old stuff PLANES control everything again. The J-10 is unstoppable. J-10's are just to fast for AA to get a lock on, By the time up get a good lock on the plane is long gone. Just played on WAKE. US forces couldn't even get off the flight deck via HELI or Plane. Same stuff happended on 1.12---- People are gonna be MAD AS HELL about this new so called 1.21 patch, except for the J-10 plane whores. Im staying away from flight maps of any kind.

Re: Game Play Is Jacked Up Again
Here's my experience so far:
Surface to air is probably more deadly now because you can fire it and not worry about hitting friendlies. If seems like they finally managed to make missles that don't hit friendlies. I had no trouble smoking J-10's or any other jet with surface to air once they dropped their flares. *edit* I should add that from the air I also had no problems taking out AA if I was smart about it, however making a run at mobile AA without flares is probably suicide if he sees you coming. I would say that the surface to air is finally perfect, the fact that you don't have to worry about friendlies is amazing.
My first impressions of air to air though are not good at all. The J-10 can dodge 9 out of 10 air to air missles by just turning as hard as possible, no flares necessary. The F-35 and F-18 don't get this luxury, either of those is dead meat if they don't have flares and someone locks onto them. I haven't flown the Mig yet so I don't know if it will be able to dodge missles or not.
It would seem though that the American planes will just be fodder for the J-10's and Migs now. The J-10 for sure should easily dominate the American jets, even if the American pilot is better and keeps getting behind the J-10 the J-10 can just bank hard and dodge the missles. If both pilots are the same skill the J-10's superior turning will allow it to get behind the American jets with relative ease, and once the American jets are locked onto they have no escape without flares.
The Mig will be similar, if not quite as dominant over the Americans as the J-10. Even if it can't dodge missles like the J-10, if you have equally skilled pilots the agility of the Mig will make it very hard to lock onto with the F-35 or F-18. It will also mean that eventually the Mig will out turn the American jets and get on their six, and once there it will pretty much be a death sentence for the American jet. It would seem that your only hope in the F-35 or the F-18 is that you are a much, much better pilot than whoever is in the J-10 or Mig.
My favorite plane in the game was the Hornet up until now, but unless I'm somehow way off the mark on what I saw tonight, I don't think I will be getting in the sky in an American jet again. I hope to God I'm wrong, because if I have to give up flying the F-18 I will likely shelve BF2.
*edit*
One last thing to add, jet pilots that know how to slow down enough to get two locks on a helo (meaning you get a lock, they drop flares, and you get another lock) before you fly past them should have 100% kill success. The missles don't miss and they don't veer off for other targets or friendlies. If you can get that second lock after the helo drops flares, the helo is dead, no questions asked.Comment

Re: Game Play Is Jacked Up Again
Last I checked I bought "BF2", not "we made an engine and will build it to what a few people on the forums want to play" game. This is what ruined the game I purchased. They changed, and ruined the game I bought to satisfy the non skilled arcade kids!!!!!
Hey wait....this is the "we made an engine and will build it to what a few people on the forums want to play" game!
I want the bf2 I purchased back!!!!!Comment

Re: Game Play Is Jacked Up Again
Please, do so. I am hoping I was just having a really off night. (Although there's no way around the fact that J-10s can dodge missles, F-35s and F-18s can't, so that's a concrete advantage no matter what). Just make sure you test it out against someone who is equally skilled. I don't doubt that I could still take the F-18 and whip the tar out of some noob in a Mig or J-10. Against someone of equal skill though, instead of it being 50-50 I think it's going to be more like 80-20 or worse simply because of the plane you have.Originally posted by Sir. ShpoxComment

I recommend purchasing a time machine, then.Originally posted by Real_CaGeD
If you're that dissatisfied, just stop being a whiny b*tch and posting on these boards, and go find yourself a new game to play. Maybe even revert back to DC.Comment
