Someone want to help me with the Repair Tool kill?

Easiest way is to get a vehicle disabled with a RPG then run up and torch it. I have done this several times. Or if you area gunner in a tank, wait till yoursriver engages an enemy tank. When enemy tank is engaging your tank you can prob get on with the torch.

They're higher than mine but I do also have 42 service stars. :p But how the **** do you guys have so many tank kills? I have 225 (I think) with the T90A and about 189 with the M1 Abrams.

It counts it they are in a vehicle you destroy with the repair tool. That's how I got it.



Glad the mav kills are geting fixed. But I'm gonna miss searching for rooftop snipers. My only complaint with elevator snipers is most of the spots they can get to makes them near invincible. If day the tall buildings on sharqi were made in a way that they had a walkway around the roof ( like the roof of TV station minus the helipad) it would be alot better. This way they cannot just run to middle of the roof and recharge health.


Makes you wonder why they made the mav kill dogtag.
 
Patrick
Some 🤬 went 36-0 MAV killing everyone! He got me 4 times!

Thats easily THE most frustrating part of BF3. But I made a post about it several pages back and the members on this site posted some great advice to deal with those MAV killin cowards.

Dealing with MAV killers
1. go prone
2. Use your own MAV to take out their MAV (recon class)
3. Javelin locks onto the MAV
4. SOFLAm can also take it out

Or this....




VEXD
MAV 101:

If you have gone prone, it is much harder for a MAV to kill you.
If they drop it on your head, you can die, but if you are prone on uneven ground, and they can scrape the ground and contact you at the same time; it's a kill.

If you have something solid behind you, like, a wall; you are almost impossible to MAV kill.
The MAV must be at full speed in any direction, and hit you with enough force to move your character, so having a wall behind you will make that difficult.
I am up the crane on Gulf Of Oman a lot, and when I get MAV's coming at me, I put the advertising hoarding behind me, or the main shaft of the crane. It's easier to shoot it out of the sky than it is for them to kill me.

You can easily take out a MAV using your own MAV, by locking on with the crosshairs, and pressing fire as soon as you have the lock.

You can kill MAV's with a Stinger launcher.
You can kill MAV's with an Igla launcher.
You can kill MAV's with a Javelin.
You can lock onto MAV's with any lock on weapon, such as the heat seekers in the jet, or attack heli's, or the guided missile in the tank.
They will kill them too.

You can kill MAV's with any gun, but USAS worx best.

The best advice if confronted by a MAV which is obviously trying to kill you; and you have no cover/USAS:
Move.
Once you try to shoot it down with your pea shooter/other gun that's not a USAS; the owner of said MAV will relish this fact, and spend the rest of your life trying to kill you, until he has.

The other alternative method, is to work out where the owner/sniper is stood still, holding his arms out like Ironman just before he takes a dump, and shoot him till he is dead.
You can use any gun for this, as he will be defenceless and intent on crimping off that length.

But the USAS worx best.

:irked:👍


VEXD does not have a USAS.

^ Going prone isn't exactly your best bet sometimes. I got killed twice in a match the other day when I went prone. Damn MAV'ers.

It's really not very difficult..:sick:
 
Huge list, and quite different to the previous one posted. Almost too much to comprehend at once.

Notable items for me:

-Players may now use their knife to destroy enemy equipment.
-C4 will no longer be detonable after a player respawns, if the player is revived within 5 seconds he can still detonate his C4.
-Claymores now live up to 5 seconds after a player dies, the player can have a max 2 claymores planted at the same time.
-Claymores can now detonate from vehicles and can be used to disable jeeps or kill the passengers in light jeeps. Claymores will not do any damage to heavy vehicles.
-Ammobags now stay until the user redeploys them like Medkits.
Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters. 👍
-Increased the damage the MBT's primary weapon does to the front and side armor of other main battle tanks. Primarily this means 1 less shot to the front, and very good hits to the side can result in a 1 hit to disable. 👍
-Javelin missiles fired without Laser targeting now do more damage to the side and rear of MBTs.
-Flares will no longer break the lock of a vehicle that is locked on, it will only distract the missiles. 👍 👍
-You can now spot with the EOD bot.
-Fixed the Rate of Fire when the USAS and MK3A1 are equipped with FRAG rounds. All other shotguns correctly had a reduced rate of fire with frags, except the USAS and MK3A1.
-M60: Reduced the initial recoil, increased damage at all ranges. The M60 has a very low rate of fire that makes it the most controllable with the powerful 7.62x51mm round.
-USAS-12: Increased the initial recoil. Reduced the total pellets fired from 12 to 9. The USAS 12 has a higher ROF than other shotguns, this recoil change better balances that advantage and the pellets balance its damage output.
- M416: No change. The M416 is the middle ground AR, blending a medium recoil and rate of fire. 👍
- PDW-R: Reduced the initial recoil. The PDW-R has high recoil and favors burst fire, the added initial recoil was making it less effective in small bursts.

and of course, no more MAV killing sprees \o/

Overall, a great patch :)

I was in that game before Patrick showed up, and the game before that, going prone did nothing. And it was near impossible to hit the damn thing with a lock on.
 
Mike,
You said "no more MAV killing sprees". Does that mean they can still keep killing with it they just dont get a "killing spree"? Those things should not be able to kill a person in 1 hit. And even if they can, they should take damage after hitting a few people.
 
Camaro did you read the patch notes?
Mav will no longer be able to damage vehicles by crashingbinto them and will be destroyed when smashing into people. You may be able to get one kill with it, but it will be destroyed as well.

As Caz pointed out, a MAV can kill you, but it will be kamikaze now and will die too. 👍

Interesting about C4 not being able to be detonated after death after the patch. Less instances of people laying C4 on captured flags and then detonating it 5 mins and many deaths later when the flag is being taken.

The c4 thing will change rush games alot.
Think I'm gonna take a break from conquest for a bit, been playing rather stale the past few sessions.

Anyone else who played bc2 rush almost exclusively pretty much only play conquest on bf3?
Bc2 maps definitely had rush mode in mind when they were designed, where as bf3 has a heavy conquest feel to it.

Me; I never played CQ in BC2 now all I play is CQ.

In general, BC2 maps > BF3 maps. Arica Harbour, Harvest Day and Laguna Preso were epic.

Yea, weird that's how I am too.

BC2 - Rush
BF3 - Conquest

Maybe because it's spread out, and more like the slow-paced BC2 Combat?

I loved BC2 maps
Arica was a bit stale after getting Demolition Man, but was good, lol, Port Valdez and Isla Inocentes Rush FTW!
 
I got hit by something while hiding in an Amtrac during the MAV ordeal with Pat yesterday. And it hit my right side on Wake Island rush. The side facing the ocean when the MAV was on that side.
