the MG36 is now king - god bless the patches cock up with heavy barrels....so mnay blantent mistakes....so loved by all

 

Whiterider got abused? here's for your viewing pleasure:

 

What's the prob with heavy barrels? Haven't heard this.. I've stuck to pretty much the same setups apart from flash supp with AEK which seems to work great.

 

Lol waaaaa where is my nick.....

 

Time to revisit BC2. It's quite fun.

 

Finally adapting I think.

My accuracy % has taken a hit, down to 15%, since the changes and all of my loadouts have CVR to compensate to some degree for the added suppression.

I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't carry extra explosives for my JAV but it seems it doesn't matter considering tanks are buttery now.

I guess that's been one of the major changes in the patch for me, no other specialisation is worth using other than CVR and tanks are only worth using if 90% of the other team aren't carrying rockets of some description.

On top of that I just have to live with the % accuracy going down as suppression is a factor you have to use, although it's not the be all and end all of a kill.

 

^ That's why you play in squads - you're far more effective if you can have 4 perks all at once.

 

I'm usually the first to "bitch" about people in squads using the same perk. Thankfully, even pub players usually pay attention to it once you point it out.

 

Just had my first real bash since the patch.

Having my entire screen go fuzzy due to one sniper shot that didn't hit me from the other side of the map is lame. Keep thinking I am on no health but yet my health is full and I wasn't hit :/

May also go back to bf2.

 

Very true, at the start of every round on pub servers I make sure I fit into a squad that has a good balance that I can add too and avoid the ones that have, for example, 3 players with extra mags.

I keep CVR for the times when I'm stuck in squads that may not be ranked high enough to have sqd specialisations and for if I'm stuck on my lonesome.

 

some nice tips about taking gunners out that i didnt know... even tho i cant play the dam game anymore!!!!

 

Nice work Wyx.

This morning I had time to look more at the Symthic data, this time sound suppressors.

F2000
FAMAS
L85A2

G3A3
SCAR-H
And with these two, I had an idea. If they were paired with a G18 Supp', it could work well using the G18 when in close quarters, and the other the rest of the time, acting like you're running around with the SKS.

The rest of the carbines are similar/same.

M249
PKP
M240B
M60E4

These don't have a hip fire penalty, just damage slop change and increased ADS accuracy.

I'm not represented here, so just for the sake of clarity. I think it is unnecessary.

 

My apologies, I'll edit the post

*edit* - change made

 

didn't mean for that

 

Joke dude

Holy crap, just noticed that my love for AAA seriously affects the battlelog recorded accuracy! It was at 15.8% this morning, I played a single round of Caspian Border in the LAV-AD and it's dropped to 13.2%

 

Lol, that's help knock my % down as well bloody thing.

 

Thankfully, it's immensely satisfying!

Had a quick round on KNG Caspian 24/7, only went 18:1 on it, but the Russian fliers resorted to having to tag-team me with both jets and their chopper to finally kill me. A barrage of guided missiles, rocket pods, guided rockets and 30mm cannon fire finally got me... once

 

Lol I had a round like that yesterday, 22:1 or something.

I managed to dodge the heli/double jet combo and lost the 1 because I went on a bit of a jolly, turned a corner to meet a tank's turret head on.

 

I've seen some odd graphical errors where I see a tank shell incoming but it looks like it's going far too high to be on-target and then get the disabled warning. The shot looks like it's about 50m too high usually.

I lost that 1 on Caspian because one jet fired the guided missile, I deployed smoke, reversed to get a shot on him, disabled him and he crashed (huzzah roadkill!), started taking rocket pod and cannon fire from the other jet behind me, loosed off a few salvoes, disabled. Put it into gear, was getting hammered by the chopper, shot it down, jumped out and started to repair the fires on the LAV, then got killed by rocket pod fire

Love it when it's proper edge of your seat shoot-outs like that. Most of the time pilots just come at me in a straight line and wonder why I tear them a new one

 

I know, I've been accused of cheating in the AA when jets just fly slow overhead and/or when in a tank taking out helis because they're daft enough to get too low.

There's no accounting for stupidity.

It's funny when you then see someone getting so annoyed they parachute out of a heli to try and take you out with rockets, I have proximity scan for that eventuality though.
