    AC130 flares have, at last check, something like 90 second recovery time. You can get off another three IGLA's in that time if there's three of you working away at it. That's the Gunship royally screwed and it'd take under a minute.

    Both seats have flares so as long as they are timed right you could avoid Stingers

    Both seats? Huh. That'd stop the worst of the rocket spam, but even then; Enough people staggering their shots and it's going to go down. Not to mention the jets, mobile AA and just about everything else shooting at the Gunship too.

    You are either just bad at this game, snipe alot and don't use tactics to move around or just unlucky lol

    I've not once being killed by the gunship and that's after the bullet/bomb landing relatively close to me, all i got was abit of splash damage.

    You're the only one complaining of disconnects ---> user error?

    For me, it happens 50% of the time and it only happens a few seconds into joining a game and reconnecting fixes it.

    Played a two hour long round last night that still had 200 tickets to go and the server crashed, loads of points and unlocks all gone.

    Not impressed, can't the server store these details and send them after the crash, the game showed up on battlelog with the correct score and other info but the actual stats never updated.

    My mistake, I thought you meant you were having issues with BF in general not AK alone. All I've had is high ping spikes no disconnects. Is this on a certain server or all & are you connecting via a wire or wireless?

    Right i must be bad at the game because i got killed several times by an ac130. Not even 20% towards first service star as sniper in 100 hours gameplay, and i'm not bad at the game thanks.
    Maybe i just got unlucky but it definitely 1 shot me several times in my first couple of games, not a great impression. Will likely give it another try later.

    Don't get your back up cos you are crap at AK Maps.

    You might be good at Metro but then again Metro Maps aren't Battlefield style and anyone can have a high KD ration where you play 24/7 on 64 Players Metro!

    Im biting my tongue here. Everyone is different people like different maps and has different play styles. You have a high self opinion on how good you are on Battlefield 3.

    The guy has a hundred hours. So be nice that kind of remark is why we who play together on Bit Tech are quite glad you have never joined us.
