sarg1010 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Whoa. So you mean the Russians are actually the ones attacking this time around? Crazy. Can't remember the last time that happened, even in BFBC2. (And conquest assault doesn't count. That was just a "counter attack" style.) I also forgot to mention, I got the IFV dogtag in one game a few days ago, in a normal game to boot (which is saying something considering how many shots it takes to actually kill someone with tanks in normal...)

sarg1010 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just played a few rounds. Dear god could the gunship be much more op? Takes a ton of AA missiles to bring down, and even then it respawns so damn quickly that it's not even worth shooting down. Plus, since I assume it has thermal, there's really no hiding from it, especially with the splash damage. Why does DICE not test their game anymore? In other news, shot down the gunship with a tank killer. Was pretty sweet. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

PoorLepRecon Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 In conquest the gunship isn't a problem at all. It dies pretty fast. It's just rush is ridiculous.

Bubs Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Yeah rush on these maps is a joke. Doesn't bother me too much as they are best played as 64 man CQ, still a bit annoying how they did that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarg1010 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 After a few more rounds that weren't rush, I must say that I enjoy the tank killers. The mobile artillery could use some work, like an actual range finder next to the crosshairs (can't wait for my friend to get on so he can be my spotter), and a few of the new assignment rewards seem un-needed, like the HE shell for the tank killer. TK's do enough damage as it is with their normal cannon, that replacing the LMG or HMG for a slower firing, slower to arm shell doesn't seem worth it. Haven't seem a single assault class yet either. Very rare to see a support. Mostly just engineer and sniper, which was expected. I don't really know why I'm even making suggestions, it isn't like DICE will actually change anything... at least not for a few months. :rolleyes: Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

PoorLepRecon Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 For the mobile artillery, if you bring up your map after you fire, you can see where missiles land. It gives a little splash mark where each one hits. 1 Forum Updates & Suggestions <------ Let your voice be heard!Forum Games <------- Coolest place on Tip.ItTip.It Forum Rules <------- Read them!

RpgGamer Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sniping in Hardcore Tank Superiority is a good time. Trying to fix your Tank Destroyer? I think not! [and I love the huge number of LSR DSG bonuses I get]Gunships do in fact have thermal for the 80mm cannon, but not the 20mm. CQ gunships really don't pose a big problem if your team isn't comprised of ass hats. "High Explosive" rounds on Tank Destroyers are bloody useless. Minimal extra damage/range of damage with high reload time. Best set up in my opinion is Reactive/Smoke/GuidedMobile Artillery are hella fun when you get the hang of them. Being on uneven ground is a bummer though. Currently running Autoloader/Smoke/Anti-Air. Using the "start" map to map your shots works wonders if you're having trouble gauging range of fire.

sarg1010 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Here's a great idea guys! Let's let the gunship fly well within range of the enemy's stationary AA! And since it moves slow as shit, it'll get destroyed within 10 seconds! Great idea, drinks all around! Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

Minimal extra damage/range of damage with high reload time. Best set up in my opinion is Reactive/Smoke/Guided Guided is inconsistent. Run TOW instead. I've already got all my unlocks for the tank destroyers, which has given me a considerable advantage in tank superiority thus far. Been unlocking a lot of stuff for the artillery. I really like the anti infantry rockets that you unlock from the assignment. I can't wait to get proximity defense.

RpgGamer Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I heard proxy defense doesn't do enough damage to justify it's use, but I haven't unlocked it myself yet. I would run TOW > Guided, but I use it for more than just TD v TD. It is rather inconsistent though, you're correct. As far as AA guns go: the TK99 in Armored Shield [best level in AK in my opinion] CQ has the ability to go near the windmills in a way that it can not be hit by the gunship at all, by being on the opposite side of it's flight pattern. Meanwhile it can absolutely pummel the defenseless gunship. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic. Anyone who likes logic is incapable of tacos.

sarg1010 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I love Armoured Shield just for the fact that it's incredibly fun to just drive around on the ATV, since it's so spacious. I ramped over [the flag that controls the gunship] completely once. Too bad you can't drive 3rd person in hardcore though. Also, MFW I get kicked for using the gunship to rack up 60 kills. Which the admins themselves were using in earlier rounds. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?!

Miner_Guy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I bet the gunship will get nerfed (spawn time) by the time my psu comes which is annoying as it seems really fun especially in rush?

sarg1010 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 All rush is awful in this expansion. Armoured Shield itself is amazing though. Nice and open, with plenty of hills. And pretty colourful to boot, atleast more so when compared to the REALLY FREAKING BLUE map of Death Valley, the orange-tint of [the desert map], and the white/forest colours of [the mountain map]. (I really need to learn the map names...) Is it bad that the only set of MCOMs i enjoy playing, are the final set on the mountains map, simply because the gunship can't do crap there? To make the gunship not so damn op, they need to increase it's respawn time by quite a bit (certain amount of spawns per rush set maybe?), maaaaaaaaaybe make it a bit tougher (more armour), and have it slowly regen health/a third slot just for repairing (albeit slow repairing.) The guns don't seem that bad, except maybe the cannon could fire a bit slower, or have the splash damage reduced a bit. Of course, they won't nerf it for at least a month, so you might as well stay away from rush for a while. Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne.

I seriously want to get a XIM EDGE for my 360. It's an adapter that allows you to use a mouse and keyboard on your 360/PS3. I've always thought about switching to PC BF, but since my stats wouldn't carry over, I didn't see much point. Other games, like CoD or Borderlands should work with it as well, which will be nice. http://xim3.com/abou...uctional-videos EDIT:Good news! I shot down a helicopter with the Mobile Artillery's normal rockets!Bad news! It was my own team's helicopter! Also managed to randomly team-kill someone who spawned immediately in front of me while i was driving the MA back to base, which took me completely by surprise.

RpgGamer Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Not a fan of crossbows. New assignments are bullcrap (10 EOD destroys? really?).
