Little Bird Massacre... Good God Almighty
Talk about doing work....
ETA: I have starting doing the repair trick... its nifty!

damn.
its usually the other way around on conquest. two tanks + guided shells = no little birds
cool vid
Not really a trick...it's a known part of the game.

Littlebirds don't usually last that long, even in the hands of a good pilot. The other team was obviously full of noobs.

Agreed.
More examples of how they dropped the ball with this game. Origin rarely works, and when it does you face invincible aircraft. Live and learn I guess. Last EA game I ever purchase.
I only watched the first 5 mins al the way through. I didn't hear very many IR missile locks.
And this was also softcore.

Easy to wreck an OPFOR when they're all highlighted. Try this on hardcore.
EDIT* My bad, added the forgotten smileys to show it wasn't a personal attack.
meh... I still like it a metric ton more than COD...

No doubt...no doubt
no skillz; if you can fly through trees, power lines and buildings w/o crashing.

All the OPFOR needed was one guy with FRAG rounds and or two guys with stingers.
Two things.
Non-hardcore server.
Very few attempted to even kill the LB.
Like others have commented, it isn't hard to kill one. A guy with frag rounds and a shotgun would have killed both people with a few hits. They were too low, couldn't dodge them. The people sitting in that jeep and tank at the beginning were apparently oblivious to him until the very last few seconds they were alive....how I don't know. They should have owned him really fast as close as he was.
The LB can only kill the tanks with their guided, which surprises me he was able to get enough off to kill the tank, even though he did have a guy sitting in the side shooting smaws.
Plus, there was not a lot of people locking onto him. If people brought the stingers out, he'd be running for cover, or dying, instead of sitting in that one area killing people.
Being non-hardcore, people were just 3D spotting. He was just swinging around and shooting at red triangles....not hard to do.
Yah, hate being on the teams that for the life of them refuse to take ANY anti-air kits what so ever.
Saw a guy on a server go 63 and 0 the other night.
I was the only guy on the entire team that was firing rockets at the guy, complete utter morons on my team.
That seems to be my luck, when I finally get in a chopper I am up against at least 3 SOFLAM units, about 2 tanks with guided shells, and countless javelins. But when the map flips and it's our turn, not a single anti air asset at all.

This
I don't have a single experience point in engineer. I imagine I should probably start on that. The problem is, I'm the only support player I've ever seen give ammo to anyone so...
Damn best I've gone was 29-0 with a little bird. It was that map with a few arfcommers.
I'd like to see that happen on PC. Serious question, do vehicles have aim assist on consoles?

Not that I've noticed. Normal infantry weapons do sometimes. I'll be running around and see my weapon jerk for some odd reason.
I really need to turn it off if I'm able.

The mini guns on the chopper can and will kill a tank.

CITV+Guided Shells = No little birds harassing you. Was playing the other day with a squared away team and the other team couldn't even get off the ship before we had their little birds explode. Pissed them off something awful.
Dropped my first slick last night with the 870+frags-three rounds in through the door, two kills and it floated down to the ground.
They never knew what the hell happened-I was laughing like a little kid after that one.

I toss that shit out like it's beads at Mardi Gras. Only once, on Seine did I neglect and I think it was NY as recon started slashing me with his knife. After my "what the fuck" moment, I tossed ammo and he went away. Kids these days.
If I can jump into a squadmates LB or Blackhawk. I will quick change to engineer with repair and the Javelin with explosive perks. The tanks never have a chance.
Is it me, or does the fact he was able to clip through a building (17 seconds or so) negate any other thing he did?
IDK how he got away with that. Anytime I get within 15m of anything my bird hits the fucking deck and explodes.

No, that's just the game being retarded. I clipped a tree with a jet once and suddenly was flying around at Mach1 with a guillie suit on my jet.

I have had some CRAZY wing clips in the jets that have caused me to want to to a Top Gun eject due to the flat spin it has put me in as I went out over the sea. Didn't take any damage and wound up with severe sea sickness, that's about all.

Today on Caspian rush, first Mcoms. I'm in a tank between the fences behind mcom a. I get blown up by the frogfoot. Turns out, the guy landed/crashed 3 ft from me, used his cannons, then took off with no runway, into a tree, and off to kill the rest of my team. Physics be damned!

Like on Damavand Peak when you fly too close the mountain dividing the map the magical and invisible fucking hill people just kill you for no apparent reason.

Lol. I always use the Select button to make my guy request ammo. I wouldn't slash you, bro!
