Hate w**kers in jets who fly into choppers, thought they would of removed that in the update, tis daft
Every time i do this i die!, its the only way to take them down when you have a sh*t team that dont use stingers.

Been wacking out the MAV, can rack up some decent points simply flying around and spotting.
Also can be used as a jammer to destroy enemy spawn beacons and equipment (not vehicles though)
You just need to out turn them mate...
Use your afterburners to build up speed then break and turn sharply, at some point you will out turn them if you break and turn first... law of physics more than anything.
Stick at it, if you really smash the jets you can get the hang of it. Saying this i've not played in months so im being left behind in terms of flight hours so no doubt i'll be completely w**k by the time i get to play again.
Liam, the afterburner is only on the jets on conquest, the jets on rush don't have them. the easiest way to turn is by holding L2 to slow down as you turn much quicker. As for the unlocks you go into the screen where you change your gun setups and there's tabs at the top for Land and Air, you change the Jet weapons on that screen.
James yeah you have to hit them at a certain point. The way i do it is to hover above there head then slam the brake on and hit the top of their head lol

Happy christmas all, this is my first post in a couple of months as I decided to have a CS sabatical!
Anyway in the meantime I have been playing this game a fair bit, about 60 hours or so now - completed Engineer and Support now working on Assault. Recon seems pretty weak now though compared to in BC2, without the mortar strikes and the motion sensors aren't as good either.
Overall, despite a couple of bugs (flashing green light on the screen at times, occassionally failing to find games or crashing when entering etc) this has to be the best FPS online game I've ever played. I have mainly been switching between Support and Engineer, as both are great all rounders. Recently started to use mortars and to be honest they seem a bit too good, probably should have limited ammo or something to balance them out?
Need to spend more time in jets and choppers though to get more unlocks.
Just bought this game, my treat for going shopping, 767mb download! WTF, better be worth it.
Darren you played the Back To Karkand maps yet?
People earlier saying they don't like Operation Metro on Conquest...that has to be one of my favourite maps. The B flag skirmishes can be epic and great for multi kills if you have an RPG or something, had multi-kills of 4 or 5 people in a single shot several times.
But then, and this is why I love this game, you go onto the next map and it will have a completely different setup requiring totally different tactics. In COD I pretty much used the same class and tactics for each prestige, it never required or encouraged me really to try new stuff, just all about levelling up. In BF3 yes you want to level up but as you level in different classes it encourages you to try new things.
Yes I don't think I have got ANY XP from the AA installments yet, there only seem to be a couple in the game and in poor locations - where are they all?!?!
Couple that with the auto-repair function that most servers seem to leave enabled - means that you're in for a VERY frustrating time against vehicles!

Been trying to level up all my classes recently. Sniper being the hardest for me, till you get a good gun you're really s**t, lol.
Yes James - and I love them. The only criticism I'd say (especially on the Gulf of Oman) is the lack of AA against a good American side with their aircraft carrier out in the bay. They will rape you, hard. I remember on the original BF2 version where there were SAM missile sites on the beach area. They weren't guaranteed to down aircraft, but at least it was a deterrent. Unless you've got some good fly-boys on your Russian side, it can be a very one-sided map.

Yea agree mate.
I've spent 95% of my time on Strike at Karkand tbh lol! Does play very differently to the previous, but not in a bad way! Really enjoy the infantry fighting in it.
Been wacking out the sniper kit. Really satisfying picking out moving headshots!
Though I don't really play with anyone else on it, many a time I do think how epic a scenario I've just played would be with a group of guys in a proper squad, with voip.
Squad orders I really like too. Easy way of racking up points.
When I get bored of that map I'll probably switch to wake or something.
I'm not to bad tbf, 744m is my longest headshot. Jedayegeordie has a 976m or something daft. 980m is max apparently.
It's well worth it if you can manage it. The guys I normally team up with are usually much better than me - so I try an back them up in some form of support role. It really does add an extra dynamic to the game when you can immediately call out to a potential target to the two/three guys in your squad that are ahead of you. Not only that, but calls for medikits and ammo bags are pretty much instant. In fact, I normally preempt such things by chucking an ammo bag or medikit at a squad member anyway and telling them that I've done it.
I just really miss 6-man squads though. BF players of old will remember just how much extra 'clout' it added to your squad. In particular two snipers/recon providing overwatch for a point, while the other four squad members attacked it. Awesome.

Isn't the highest on PS3 over 2000m? So it says on the leaderboards anyway, must of been a lucky shot off a chopper or something... Had a few long range hit markers, proper gutted lol My longest is around 620m iirc.
Its a glitch apparently, 980m is max you can get with a bullet.
