I love to destroy mobile AA with Jihaad jeeps and C4
They never see me approaching since they look to the sky I have gotten pretty damned good in mobile AA. When I see it gone, I usually will camp its spawn for a few minutes to see if the guy gets blown up. If it doesn't re-spawn fairly quickly then I know someone is putting it to good use.
Usually it is a quick re-spawn though lol.
Once i get a hold of it, it is usually plane rape time. Since planes DONT have bombs (thank goodness) and they have to line up on you - you can usually kill them before they get you. Prox scanner is damn handy for once they figure out where you are and they start trying to parachute in to C4 you. Hit M to bring mini map up to larger size and no one will ever sneak up on you.
Also if you are in the AA and get up to a decent elevation - Q everything you see. Helps everyone on the whole team to see where tanks, jets, choppers, ppl are!!!!! You can never hit Q enough - unless you are squad leader lol!

Stingers are useless due to flares.
lol agreed! Drives me nuts when I'm squad leader and trying to spot something near an objective - my teammates must think I'm crazy hearing "ATTACK THIS OBJECTIVE, I WANT YOU TO ATTACK THIS OBJECTIVE...etc"
Wish I could record some of my epic stinger rounds.
All of them usually solo, but if you got a friend on the mic with you.
Couple of guys communicating with stingers can own shit.

Am I a jerk-off for grabbing an attack chopper, parking it behind a cliff out of sight, then switching to the gunners seat and raining TV missiles all over the map? Because my new favorite thing is to peg the opposing teams choppers in mid flight repeatedly from across the map.
At first I thought it might be a little selfish to keep the chopper tied up like that, but then I realized I'm killing more enemy vehicles and infantry that way than a lot of people would be able to flying it normally.

Agree. I own with stingre alone and 2 guys with stingers can own any air target. Fist rocket used to get rid of flares and second one is 90% of times hitting the tartget.For me it takes about 4 rockets to destroy any air target 90% of times.
Those remaining 10% of very good pilots realise that second rocket will hit them and run away and hide till their flares are charged again. And this is good for our team - those good pilots are out of battle for a good 10 seconds

This was pre-patch. Note that we fired right after he launched flares, and was able to launch again while the missiles were in the air. It's gotten better after the patch, but stingers still need to be buffed to be of any use since jets are still outrunning us. Adding more range to the stinger would help.
smh....... why didnt you just get in the AA gun and destroy him? Instead you had 3 guys sitting in spawn waiting for a jet to get close enough for a stinger, that the pilot just shakes off with a flare everytime. And look at that, your team is losing too.
you have to be in the right server for it, but it could be just B2K overload from the last 2 months.
Need some news on more maps... PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Still waiting on the new DLC announcement. I asked about it before but no one seemed to know what I was talking about. This post from the 2nd is what I was referring to.

Also looks like BF3 players are getting the ME3 demo today.
The AA gun is irrelevant. Like the title said, it was a stinger experiment, we don't care about scores. Point is, you've got four people with stingers firing in between flares and it still can't hit the plane. And this still happens now. The stinger needs a serious buff when four of them can't take down a plane.

Note that that's just a few minutes of video. If you'll notice, we were in buggies, driving all over the map trying out different vantage points. Results are no different from the first one shown in the video. If you were actually paying attention, you would have realized right from the start that we were doing the opposite of camping. Heck you incorrectly "guessed" that there were three of us in the squad, rather than the four displayed in the squad list right in front of you.

You got me there.
In the last round I was in, they got me with that combo at least four times.
Was so mad.

The worst possible thing they could do to this game is make the retarded lock-on weapons MORE powerful..

Has BF3 been laggy lately for anyone else? I am on a 25/25 FiOS connection at home and I live in the DFW area. All I play on are Dallas and Chicago servers for the lowest ping yet the past few days, every server I go into is quite laggy. Is it just me or are others experiencing this?
There is a message on battlelog about them being aware of some issue the patch brought(lol). Maybe server lag is the problem they are talking about? Leave it to DICE to mess up every patch. See this game is a BF2 sequel.

Because the hitbox is the size of a grain of sand.

They also have about 10000 health.
I'd rather they do that than the alternatives I've seen, which often involve camping on the peak of the mountain outside your uncap in Firestorm so people on the ground can't hit it, and just whoring it out the whole round. Tedious stuff. Part of what I was saying earlier about the vehicle play just boring me lately - it discourages teamplay more than encouraging it, it seems. Just seems a more efficient way for KDR whores to farm their kills.
Except for the ones I'm using. Those only need to be looked at to be destroyed.

You must have the same version of BF3 that I have. The one where my shotguns do absolutely no damage to my enemies but they can kill me with them from across the map in one shot.

Hey I got that version too.
Mine makes it so every team I get on is full of clueless fucking retards though.

The patch notes include "AMD Radeon 7xxx series performance improvements". Can any 7970 owners comment? I won't have a chance to play BF3 until later this week and I'm quite curious.
I actually just got back from playing, and it feels noticeably slower. im not sure whats up.

You need a designated recon on your team. And i don't mean snipers. Designated players stick to one job and they do it pretty well, even willingly taking on more risks and lower scores. In this case, they'd notice the soflams, mark them as priority and send in a MAV. Personally, i'm willing to risk getting knifed if it means securing an area with the MAV and taking out enemy gadgets.

Not sure, but nerfing the plane isn't the answer. It'sjust enough to keep a newbie pilot from going hulk smash on his keyboard so it's just right for that. But in the hands of an experienced pilot, it makes him invincible.
Extending the locking range of the stinger would be nice. Or how about something advanced, like keeping a plane locked on by soflam making the stingers resistant to flares while it's locked on.

The problem with BF3 vehicles is not "Stingers are not powerful enough", the problems is this:
Foolproof countermeasures.
Flares/ECM work like 100% in the game if used properly, the best way to make the stinger/heat seekers worthwhile again is if these countermeasure don't work 100% of the time. They're not supposed to anyway
Edit: the proper way to play mobile AA is to drive ALONG your own tanks right? because that's what I do, and then after my tanks get shot up by other tanks I get shot
Edit 2: Everytime I become squad leader on a pub server, i switch squads so i don't have to be squad leader. I JUST WANT TO SPOT NOT HAVE TEAM ATTACK RANDOM OBJECTIVES

I object that the AA gun is irrelevant. This is the run I had earlier http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/#!/bf3/battlereport/show/21245461/1/356401873/ I would say that I took out at least 40% of the vehicles with the guns. Also mowing down pilots who bail out and parachute with the guns rules!
Answer this please. How is the AA gun relevant when you are in a stinger squad trying out different stinger tactics? Especially in that video? Do even read before you post?!

You just said it was irrelevant. It seemed like a generality and thats how I responded

Which pretty much shows you weren't even reading the context of the thread when you butted in
