Squad related issues? What like they didn't bother to sort out a proper squad system before release?!

Does anyone else think the disabled vehicle thing is shit? Sure give the driver a chance to get out but if I've been playing cat and mouse on foot with the thing I want the destroy!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Nope, I love it. It's a great way to slow down an advance and it's a good way of building up the time in reloads to be able to take out a tank.

But you've had to ping a whole load of RPGs/Javelins just to get to that point, where as all the tank has to do is catch you with it's machine gun.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
No you don't, use the right upgrades and or mines and you can disable pretty damn quickly. It's one the best things they've added to the game imo.

Which ones are they then? I know you can run in and stick C4 to the back of it, but how else kills one quickly? Not unlocked everything yet, still working my way through.
Why do you think it makes things better?

I said above.

Normally tanks are used in an advance rather then to defend, destroying them would slow them down further.
I don't think you need to slow down the time in reloads, it's hard enough to kill the dam things on foot anyway! You're looking at a minimum of three good hits where as you can be killed any time.

The sniping is pissing me off
I'm also running in medium now cos tbh it all looks the same to me in 1080, I can run ultra but I cry if the refresh rate is not met
I'm stuck with this rig with another two years and it does everything else nicely but If I had a grand spare then I probably would be stupid and upgrade which tbh is not the time for me. I could upgrade the psu and card on this for about £350 but it's barely worth it in terms of frames and just to run in ultra at 1080p and 60fps constant. I have next day callout on this for two years so be daft to mess with it.

So I finally managed to unlock that soflam thing...not hugely impressed with it...really miss the old air strike call in for Recon in BFBC2 tbh...
Pingu
Credo
if placed in a good spot on the right maps a soflam can be awesome. esp if you are in a team thats clued up and using javalins (op firestorm for example). 1 x recon with soflam and radio beacon, 1 x support with ammo pack and claymores, 1 assault with med pack and defib and and engineer with a javalin. set up on the hill top and pwn away. these 4 will pwn any vehicles and alow the rest of the team to just cap flags
mavs are more fun though

This.
We played Caspian Border the other day and managed to get 8 of us on the same side. One guy had his SOFLAM nicely hidden and 3 of us had Javelins. We fucked every air vehicle and tank up that was stupid enough to come near us.

Couple of nice games last night before my shitty net connection gave up the ghost...

I want you on my squad!
Taking out a tank on foot is bloody hard work due to the number of hits it takes and running out of ammo! If you can move between cover without having the painful line of sight then you stand a chance!
It's been long haul, but I think I'm finally starting to "get" this game. It's the first fps I've played online for any length of time since quake. Now starting to get frustrated with all the things you mentioned back in your first posts about what people should be doing! Really wish I could play with other folk I knew to get the team work down, most of the time you're not assigned to a squad and you've got to strike lucky to get one that even sticks together let alone communicates! When you do though it fucking rocks.
Hope they do another map pack with more big open ones! At first they were my enemy, kept getting killed from nowhere, but now find urban environments harder to keep everything down unless there is tight team work.
I'm almost tempted to dust quake 3 out against some bots though. You can score a lot of points without having twitch fps skills, but now I've unlocked most things, they are the most satisfying kills.

Hit it with another RPG once disabled, I am sure it will then be destroyed.

True, but by that time you are running out of ammo and have attracted every enemy gun in the area.

I presume you know about the weak spots of armour and angles of attack?

Also, if you can only attack from the front of the tank, try and wait until the turret/gun is facing the rear. Hitting the rear of the turret always counts as rear damage, even from the front or side of the tank.

That's good to know, RPG still serves it's place, but much prefer top down javelin hit's if possible. Thing is even if you hit a tank at it's weakest point you've got to get a fair few hits, whilst two players are gunning down heavy machine guns and tank shells!

Good stuff!
I know people who've jacked it in because they are becoming frustrated with the lack of teamwork. When I play on my own my frustration levels go through the roof sometimes. Especially when you join a game to find you're in a squad full of snipers then join another squad and find it's......full of snipers.
Luckily though I have a few friends that I play with on a regular basis as well as some urbs.
You should look at joining a clan. They can vary on hardcoreness. Some are just people who play together on public servers, some have their own servers and some compete on a regular basis. Skill level shouldn't matter. Any clan worth it's salt will have players of all ages/skill levels. When I was a co running our =PxR= clan, we used to take on anyone who was willing to learn teamwork. Met a great bunch of guys and am still in contact with some of them today.
You should look into it, your blood pressure will thank you
