Hahaha, that stat page is interesting. Top 2% for vehicles destroyed and disabled (5963, 7075, resp), and I have respectable 2.115 w/l 1.902 k/d ratios

Turns out all that dicking around I did at first to figure the game out has really hurt me.

Need to get those stats back up. My engineer pride is at stake

One upped the RPG from hopping out of plane guy.

Not even sure how he knew where to lead. Odd though that the plane wasn't shooting.

Thanks for the info. Can you guys tell me which options are unlikely to cause system slow down, lag, etc.? I am currently running with everything as low as it will go. System in my sig, yes I know its borderline.

Are you asking for advice on an upgrade? Or are you asking which settings you can increase from low and still play?

If it's the latter, you'll have to look around for some guides. I haven't found any that specifically look at the lowest settings. This guide may help a little: http://hardocp.com/article/2011/11/02/battlefield_3_single_player_performance_iq_review/3

Just start increasing the ones they say have little or no effect on performance. The ones that would definitely be out in your case are textures, MSAA, motion blur, SSAA or HBAO, and maybe a few others.

Ultimately, however, you're probably bottlenecked by your CPU more than your GPU, which means it's probably limiting you even at all low. Therefore, you can probably increase at least a few settings and still have the exact same performance.

Cool vid, really liked the music and that last double tank kill. :thumbsup:

Thanks!

Plane switching like a boss.

That was just luck, c4 does not work %99 of the time anymore because of radar with tanks. Unless you put it on ground and happen to not notice it driving by.

Not (always) luck, it's easily repeatable. Not everyone is carrying proximity, and if you have a decent squad (most of those tanks were distracted by Wolverine), you can even C4 proximity tanks.

Is this going to work against competent, full tank crews? Not usually, but I've gotten plenty of triple kills even then

what

I c4 tanks all the time still.....

I do it every now and then. But its easier with RPG. hell half the time with tanks i get just enough time to put one c4 on it before tank kills me. At least i can disable it just so they can get some repair points.

As a fan of being a tanker (with varying strategies, and dependent upon map - I don't always want to be the driver/gunner, but if there's a tank and the LMG/HMG is open, I'll always go for that), I'll argue that it can be very easily to be distracted/overwhelmed and end up with a C4 guy slipping through. And it sucks when it works for them, especially if you are the gunner on top, because you feel like you failed the tank.

And it's sweet, sweet victory if I can pull it off

That is a B2K map where the Jet's shooting drops more than other BF3 maps... you can see that the plane was just pulling up before he got shot so Stungravy's jet was not even lined up in his sights to be shooting anyway and wasting his bullets anyway...

This video is from the same guy, stungravy, that did Rendezook with the RPG out of the plane... I've watched him play once... he keeps trying to do stuff like that everytime someone gets on his six... once in awhile it will work... but not a whole lot...

Right after he switched jets, his original jet got blown up by Javelins (You can hear it in the background)... the F35s are slow... -.-

I agree... most of the time I play gunner... even with proximity they still sneak through with C4s and manage to blow up my tank AND THEMSELVES before I kill them to try to prevent them from activating their C4 remote...

Ninjas! :ninja:

There's also the problem of if I get three on your tank, when I respawn I'm triggering the C4 anyways...

Yeah, Ive learned to ditch the tank if I think C4 has been planted by a guy I just killed. Ive seen a lot of team mates die by jumping into a tank I just bailed from a few seconds earlier.

When Im tanking, its the C4 carrying supports that worry me more than the AT engineers. The engineers are usually at a distance that I can spot them with thermals, but those sneaky C4 guys are always so close that they cant be seen unless you are looking directly at them.

On the other hand when Im in a flag defending tank busting mood, nothing is sweeter than destroying a whole tank crew with C4 and actually surviving the blast to give the next one that rolls up a taste.

Could someone give me a javelin tutorial? Can you fire it before it locks on & how do you target air craft? I know I've been shot down from javelins.

Javelins can lock onto ground targets on their own but it takes teamwork to use the javelin against aircraft. You either need to have someone play as a recon and set up a SOFLAM or have someone in the CITV station of a tank laser designating targets. The SOFLAM or laser designator has to lock on first then you will see the orange square around the target vehicle, you can only fire after you also lock on with your javelin. If the lock is broken by ECM or the pilot flies out of range then you have to wait until the lock is re-established.

Add on that it's not just CITV stations, any laser designator will do (so scout helicopters and attack helicopters with the attachment will do it as well).
