I welcome the increased hit damage for Attack Helicopters. The Anti-Aircraft and Active RADAR missles will be nerfed as well. What other changes would you suggest to increase survivability for helicopters?

Slick shoes?! Are you crazy?!

Lots and lots of bitching about BF4, afaik its mostly PC people complaining, maybe Dakar knows otherwise.

A really interesting vid, if you can stand his voice, is here : ☼ Battlefield 4 - Why its broken & current state of the gaming industry - YouTube

This is very funny : BF4 Hit detection out of Sync - YouTube

Great fun is had in HC TDM with a shotty. I haven't found my ideal setup yet, but with the 870 darts and the full choke seem to be pretty good.

Must admit that I like the pump-actions more. I tend to spam with the semi-autos. And miss.

Had a game yesterday where I had a jeep bearing down on me and with as little time as possible, switched to C4, threw it down on the ground and detonated it as he ran over me. Now, honestly I didn't think I got it done on time, but in-game I managed to blow the jeep sky-high, and as a bonus it was packed to gills, so I got a triple to their lowly 1 roadkill. Win!

Dakar, now that you've hit 110, are you missing much in terms of weapon accessories?

Not sure I understand the question. Weapon accessories (and weapons) are unlocked independent of level.

Will you ever finish the campaign to unlock the P90 or M249?

I did unlock the M249. Then it promptly ate my save data. DICE owes me the other ones free.

Battlepacks when you rank up and getting stuff for weapons that you never use. You must have most of the attachments since you get about 3 per battlepack/per rank.

Not really. You get a lot of XP boosts as well. I have over 100 25s now.

I've heard of people getting 100% and even 200% XP boosts but I've never gotten one. Bet its just Premium players that get the higher boosts. I've got about 20 x 25% and about the same for 50%.

I'd just like to get the Kobra sight for some other weapons, I have trouble using the RDS - guess its old eyes.

Did you remember to hit the share button on the controller shortly after you made that shot?

BTW, what map was that on?

It wasn't worth it. Well, maybe it was, but not for the typical reason. It was spawn to spawn on Lancang, all I could see it a tan haze and even zoomed (40x) in his dorito was tiny. I had no range finder, so it took 4-5 shots until I found the right range at which point the first dialed in shot domed him.

I did have a moment a few weeks ago with a friend watching where I jumped of C building in Shanghai, turned while parachuting to aim at a transport heli passing me and smawed him, eventually killing a few people. That I did save.

Yep. It won't happen for a while, then it'll start at the beginning of a match, lasting for about 30 seconds. Then it happens in subsequent matches until I turn off my PS4.

About a week ago, it would only be the first match when you joined a server. The next round would be OK. Now you never know when it'll come back, and sometimes it'll stop during a game. Must be driving the devs nuts being so random.

Oh, I forgot to tel the story of the most epic game start I've ever witnessed.

Golmud, I jump into squadmates tank and we head for Bravo. As we are capturing we see an opposite tank doing the same on Alpha. The shootout begins.

Mid-way through the shootout, I spot a second tank behind the first, which has moved up. A blueberry begins repairing us.

The first tank gone, and the second tank almost gone as engineers keep us alive, I spot an LAV behind the second tank, at Alpha.

Hurt, we engage the LAV after dispatching the second tank. One shot in, I notice that another enemy tank has arrived up the center street (between A and B) from Charlie.

Bailing out of the tank as it is about to explode I notice that there is a fourth tank behind the LAV at alpha.

WHAT THE ****

There are fast vehicle respawn servers for PC games. Probably possible for consoles as well.

The FLIR really is excellent. Tried it on the SKS - pretty good. Tried it on the U100 - really really good. On the LSAT, pwnage. The IRNV is alright, but that 2x magnification really sets the FLIR apart.

On some maps, it doesn't always have the IR activated, sometimes its just daylight with a red dot in the middle. Anyone else had this? Presume its to do with the amount of light.

It was at start. Both sides get 4 tanks, and an LAV spawns at the point nearest their base.

The addition of a sand-storm to Gulf of Oman is excellent. Limits roof campers since they can't see shit from up there. Yeah I know that they can camp at the beginning of a game, but still.

They should have made that great big tower destructable as well.

I've sent a few UCAVs up there. Its quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces of equipment.

Firestorm is still the same piece of shit it always was. I have a feeling it was included because the changes were minimal and easy to make, not because it was liked.

Haven't been on Firestorm yet actually. I like the little additions to Metro. Caspian wall is 'interesting'.

400M patch today BTW.

I should really try for the UCAV. I just hate jets SOOOOOO much. Must be my old-age but simple TDM is the most fun (and I FINALLY got a k/d of 1 - LMFAO!).

TDM is good. I play it a lot more in this than I did in BF3.

My recommendation would be to try jets in obliteration or on Dam and Golmud. Seeing as your on PC, though, I would have to think there are (or were) Air superiority boosting servers. We both know I was terrible at jets, but I somehow made it.

I like the sandstorm, but the hit to spotting or even designating a flag is a bit much to swallow.

I'm so used to HC that I've forgotten about spotting.

Did you notice how hard it is to fly as well? The Huey is already like flying a cow, once the storm comes in it's like flying a herd. With the tractor

I rarely fly, but I did use the AC on Oman the other night and its handling is bad enough that I didn't notice a difference.

Played for a few hours last night and sound was perfect, although one of my mates said that he lost sound after 5 minutes on a certain server.

Played a game last night where I murdered 10 people from the side-slots on the LAV. Quite atypical.

Sound bug is back, after todays 800M update. On the PC you can do some of the tasks for the Naval Strike weapons. I've got the AWS (Support) and its like the MG4/M249 but 100 rounds in the mag and loads faster. Haven't done the tasks for the other weapons.

New attack heli is the tits. Handling could use some buffing, though.

Any time you can antagonize a dissatisfied and outspoken player base, you pretty much have to, right?
