I wish veteran was still a thing [t]https://jii.moe/EJYU5tNvl.png[/t]

The only Battlefield game I don't have a copy of is Modern Combat.

Holy hell. I LOVE to tank. It's so much fun, and I'm really good at it still. I used to tank a lot in BF2, even held some leaderboards for a while, but I never really got back into it because I sucked at it in BF3. But I am having loads of fun. Recorded at least 4 or 5 transport heli shots across the map. And a good amount of little bird kills, too. It's pretty painful, though. I used to immediately jump into the MAA, because the MAA is bae, but now I'm in doubt whether to go tonk2stronk or mine salt with the MAA. Either way is really fun. I should've done this way more ealy :D

[QUOTE=Squarebob;49458932]How many servers are still active? I've been feelin like playing that again.[/QUOTE] it's surprisingly active You can even find Vietnam games

After a lot of hassle I finally unlocked the UCAV. I immediately went to test it on Silk Road and found it to be absolutely useless. Even when I hit and explode people spot on with the drone they don't seem to suffer fatal damage. It's more efficient to throw SUAV's at people than it is to throw an explosive warhead at their feet. This is in contrast with what I saw on youtube videos where streamer obliterate entire squads with the UCAV.

Wasn't it nerfed? I remember reading a thread on balttlelog a couple days ago how it's nerf ruined air superiority. Shit unlock = Ni one is going to want to unlock it = no one playing game mode Already a dead game mode as is

It has nothing to do with the air superiority game mode. You can't even get out of your plane in air superiority. However, yeah, the UCAV was nerfed hard because it was completely stupid at launch. Aside from being able to one hit people across the map with no danger to its user, it was also a surprisingly effective weapon to one shot helicopters with. Against a tank, it reloaded fast enough to infinitely stunlock it if an engineer repaired it constantly, and outright destroy it in two shots without one. Since then, it's basically been nerfed to the point of irrelevance.

I want the older pre-nerf Railgun back.

UCAV is my most used vehicle purely for the abuse I did the first two weeks it was available. It was beyond ridiculous. Even in it's nerfed state though I still run it. It's a guaranteed kill every life in most situations and does 46 damage to tanks, more than enough to catch someone out who is moving up without infantry support.

[QUOTE=Daemon White;49465779]I want the older pre-nerf Railgun back.[/QUOTE] This. I really dont get the nerf to the railgun. It used to be a weapon which was extremely effective and worth fighting over for. It's a pickup for a reason, so it can have those out of the world stats. I was honestly suprised to pick it up, shoot a guy across the map in what I think was his leg, to get a hitmarker. Reload, thinking "ill finish him off by splash damaging him" Another hitmarker. Dropped it on the spot

Why do they always nerf the fun stuff :v: If you nerf something to the point where it's completely useless then what's the point in having that thing in the game. More viable strategies make the game more fun, in my mind. I didn't play BF4 yet though, so I have no idea how strong it was. Could've probably just decreased the range instead. Does anyone have a video of what it looked like before?

Wait what? When did they nerf the Railgun? What did they do to it?

The railgun was a battle pickup capable of 1shotting light vehicles and some choppers, did 25 damage a pop against tanks and would deal some serious splash damage. It had only one shot loaded at any given time, and had to be charged up before you could fire The UCAV 1shot infantry with ease, but I don't remember many people using them to drop choppers

I was somehow able to blast an entire crew out of the chopper last night though, must have been a lucky angle. Crew all died, chopper took 15 damage, and someone from our team had a slightly used chopper for a joy ride.

I think they only nerfed the damage the railgun did to vehicles. I don't think it one-shots air vehicles anymore but it still kills mobility. It still OHK on a direct infantry hit. [editline]6th January 2016[/editline] I'll do some testing when I come home.

This they left unchanged, what actually was my problem is that the splash damage it used to do (110 within what, 2 m or something) was nerfed. You can't one-shot kill them with only splash damage anymore. It does like abysmal damage. And indeed, heli's and aircraft resistance has been reduced significantly. I tried it and i hit a heli with iirc 41 damage. Just enough for a mobility hit, but with reps impossible to 2 shot.

So a friend of mine claims with all his heart that he saw a soldier in bf4 with a stormtrooper helmet around the release day of battlefront. It was not a pilot who had jumped aircraft either he says. Have you guys heard or seen anything at all about this or is he talking out of his arse?

Never seen it myself.

The cringiest chopper hijack you've ever seen. I'm much more level-headed in the next one whenever I get around to posting it. [video=youtube;_GmBxvo-4WE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GmBxvo-4WE[/video]

I joined a server to find only noobs there. I tanked a lot and rekt people (because they don't know how the tank works and how you can effectively 2 shot someone with a full HP tank). It was fun. Took out 5 choppers, too. 2 times the attack heli, once with the tank, once with the SRAW and 3 times the transport. I really love the M1, but I think I like the T90 a little more.

Decided to jump on and play a few rounds of BC2 a little earlier. Wasn't hard finding a game that was full. I definitely will be coming back to it for a bit. If any of you guys want to join in or want someone to play with my soldier name is Juan Taco Please

[QUOTE=LoNer1;49476721]Ex-act-ly. I like myself a good ass, but not on my tank[/QUOTE] It has a hidden strength though. If you ram another tank with the M1 you'll lift it up above you and then he can't shoot you but you can shoot him.

I know. Also guys, do you know what the "Glitchshot" on a tank is? Basically, if you aim at a tanks gunner turret and shoot on the spot right below it, you'll do the same damage an RPG will do if it hits that spot from a 90 degree angle (straight down). [B]That's 51 damage btw[/B]

[QUOTE=Daemon White;49479787]Like... with any weapon?[/QUOTE] No, AP tank shell, if you're lucky the TOW missile albeit it does a little less damage and the RPG / SMAW (in which SMAW does a little less damage, too) Haven't tested out anything else yet.

Can't get on BF4 atm. EA Login error. [editline]7th January 2016[/editline] [t]http://1m4g3.com/images/2016/01/08/u3swkmli.jpg[/t] People are speculating. Edit: Message says something about a 3 year wait, and the 21st of January.
