Forum Overview :: Battlefield 2 :: Hitting jets is hard, flying jets is hard.

[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Fabsy"]The ground based SAM sites desperately need a boost. They were near worthless before where you were much better off manning a vehicle machinegun for AA. Moving at any angle other than "directly away" or "directly towards" a SAM site was proof enough against ever getting hit by it. Even in those two cases, just dump a flare and you're invincible until a second later where you destroy the SAM site and the guy manning it. The only way to shoot down a jet was with another jet, not even the ground based AA vehicles could touch them. Get shot down once and if the other guy decides to keep destroying your plane on the ground inbetween bombing runs then you're fucked. If your team's jet is stolen you're doubly fucked.[/quote] Spoken like someone who doesn't fly. Between the enemy jet(s), mobile AA and SAM sites, my missle lock alarm is constantly on. While I agree that it's hard to get a kill with any one of those assets, the combined difficultly of flying a jet is outrageous. [quote]The blackhawk gun is still pretty ridiculous. I'd support either a boost in the MEC/China transport choppers to match or a slight nerf for blackhawk gun.[/quote] Sure, and why don't the Chinese and Arabs get an aircraft carrier? And all the maps should be symetrical. Don't get me started on M24 vs SVD! [quote]Maybe some people were getting crazy halfway across the map beyond the fog kills? Was TV guided range even an issue?[/quote] Yeah, me. I could hit blackhawks on the horizon barely in view. It was insanely fun, so it's due for an overhaul...[/quote]
