Sent a join request for the platoon. Can't fly things (in gravity at least), but I'm pretty good at shooting people and blowing stuff up  .

Battlelog name is ReeNoiP_01.

REVISION: Sale over so...

Application to platoon sent, QD

Huh apparently I have 101.4% accuracy with a shotgun o.O

No idea how that happened.

Anyway can I get in the platoon? I'm a pretty decent chopper pilot (cept scout helicopters, hate those things), 2/3 of the way to my second service star on them.

We haven't put any skill requirements on the platoon buddy, you apply, you get in, currently, social thing! ;x

Yeh just thought I'd mention it since I cry at night for lack of decent chopper pilots. The amount of times I take a chance on someone and they fly me into a pole saddens kittens the world over.

So least with me you know that you won't burn up 10 seconds into flight (disclaimer: previous statement is void if some nub is base camping, though I can generally scare them off with a stinger).

[Achillion]

I'm already in the platoon but I haven't played in over a week. I have too much work and most of my free time goes to Skyward Sword now.
But when I'm back, I'll be happy to fly Grimper into a pole. I'm really good at making the helicopter's explosion look cool!

Patch notes
Flares nerfed, Stingers buffed v jets. Cheat scope nerfed.

[Achillion]

Is it weird that I'm mostly curious and interested in how this will look:

"Tweaked the chat, it should now be a bit easier to read"

instead of being happy about all the balance fixes?

[bigchunk1]

•Tweaked the IRNV scope so it is limited to usage only at close range.

Noo! I grew so accustomed to abusing that scope!

[Grimper]

oooh "Fixed several vehicles that did not properly shoot rockets and guns towards their predictive sights"

Now I won't have to compensate for rockets going below the heli sights <3

EDIT:
And "Fixed Laser Guided Missiles missing their targets if the target is moving too fast."
Wonder if that will make javelins hit more in direct fire mode....or if it only affects a laser designated target.

Also mortar nerf and AA nerf vs ground targets

"Slightly Increased the power of Fighter Jet Cannons against all vehicle targets, especially Helicopters." that's screwed up though...we have enough troubles with extreme range AA, constant locks, and jets ramming. Particularly on Nosh Canals, that damn carrier AA for the US and the russians not getting one.

Yeah don't sweat it man, we let this joker QuantumDelta here in and he wouldn't be able to shoot his way out of a retirement home.

Last night I was representin' HLP!

No idea how that happened.

Probably because 100% accuracy is one hit per shot
And a shotgun has multiple bullets, so you can hit multiple times per shot.

I FINALLY managed to get all the flight controls the way I want them.
It's incredible how messed up the bindings are. I'm still not sure how I set what, but I do know that:
- Helicopter pitch can be bound independently. You can swap which direction is pitch up/down by moving the stick and/or mouse in that direction (or the opposite if you have inverted flight enabled).
- Jet pitch cannot be bound independently. If you move the stick in a direction while binding one of the jet pitch directions, both pitch directions will be set.


I had to join a server and steal jets and helis a few hundred times to get both mouse and joystick to behave properly.

[Grimper]

Lol just wait until you unlock the TV missile for the helicopter. That thing has it's own set of bindings, which can't be changed. The default is mouse up = nose up, mouse down = nose down, which is the opposite of jets, just to confuse you.

[Achillion]

F***ING C***S!

[Achillion]

So I forgot the update was today and now I have to wait for it to download and can't play :-(

Patchnotes are a nice read though. Looks like they at least tried to balance most of the issues like IRNV, mortars and auto-shotgun frag ammo.

[Hades]

Did they ever make engineers less versatile? Cause atm their primary weapon is just as good (and somewhat better if you count the lack of any real recoil) as an assault's while being able to damage armored assets. To me this is a pretty big balancing issue too.

[Achillion]

Hades: Not sure I understand. Are you saying that rifles like the M4 can damage armoured vehicles (assets)?

[Hades]

Hades: Not sure I understand. Are you saying that rifles like the M4 can damage armoured vehicles (assets)?

My bad, no. I'm saying how the primary weapon is as good as an assault's (or close) while the engineer also has anti-armor assets it can use, effectively making it more versatile than other infantry classes.
