    I love high ticket conquest servers (pc). I can just sit back, hop into a jet, then fly around raping anything and everything that moves for an hour. :cool:
    Do you use a joystick for jets?

    I have tried with both a mouse and PS3 controller and I fail at controlling them.

    I'm pretty good in the air vehicles. When I first got the game I couldn't fly the helicopters or jets at all. Just adjust the settings and button layout and keep practicing.

    I usually never touch the jets as I will usually end up crashing after a couple circuits, If I see an enemy and try to kill them in a jet they will get away and then I'll crash.

    I sometimes fly the choppers though. I'm a lot better in the bigger ones like the Huey rather that the smaller ones and attack helicopters. I was the same in BF:BC2, wasn't great on the Apache/Havoc but I was pretty good with the Black Hawk/Hind.

    Your best bet would be load the nose of the plane up with C4, that way when you suspect a crash is imminent you can crash into the nearest ground enemy and perchance get some kills.

    Good idea. I do that with jeeps, I call them "Jihad Jeeps"

    Oh man I've been roadkilling and carrying out precision jeep jihads since the golden days of Battlefield 1942. Admittedly, sticky C4 is easier to keep on a jeep than a TNT bundle that would roll off! C4 is also good for troll bait. Rig a jeep, roll it up to an enemy flag, wait for a few inquisitive enemies then BOOM! Also, please adhere to the code of mandatory tea-bagging. NO ONE CAN ESCAPE THE TEA BAGGING. :hmmm:

    I hope they haven't messed with things again, I actually liked it how it was a yesterday, being able to kill with a few 5.45x39 rounds was nice instead of having to use a whole mag like I had to about a month ago.

    Just a whole bunch of fixes and rebalancing on le weapons. The latest weapon also introduced the Colour blind mode. I use it even though I don't actually need it. It actually is surprisingly easier on the eyes.

    it would be pretty cool if you could get somebody to hove a heli with a bunch of you in above the roof of an objective and you all get out and the heli flies away xD
    then you take down that objective by working as a sqaud xD

    i always try do this in a heli but the gunners never get out ( i dont think they see my 'master plan' lol)

    I'll leave chill to deal with the Xbox platoon; tried invite and turns out platoons are across one platform only.

    I'm Scott3933, as you might have figured already. Also I prefer platform only platoons as it is easier to organise games and stuff.
