That pisses me off they get it ahead of us. 911 what a release date
My daughters bday too. 9/7 would be better that is my bday

Wow! that just made me quit this shit game.

Fixed so the spawn menu always disappears when you are revived.

That in itself would be a miracle. Take this one for example:

"FIM92 and IGLA now lock on to air vehicles at both lower altitudes and longer distances."

I think this might break the below radar perk.

I also hope this means that you can destroy a soflam without the need of the tv missile now: Helicopter weapons can now destroy equipment with splash damage.

I hate this one:
Changed how MCOM station defend/attack kill score is calculated. Victim no longer needs to arm/disarm the crate but rather be in a 5 meter radius of the crate. Also increased kills needed for the Crate Defend Ribbon from 2 to 4. Overall, these changes should make it somewhat easier to get the ribbon, while increasing the opportunity

I do not even have 1 the MCOM defender ribbon yet and now I need twice the kills?

Oh please foolio. Maybe I actually have a chance against a skillfully-manned heli now. Yeah maybe that's not "realistic" but this is not ArmA.

Yeah I know too much whine from me today. They just take shortcuts with everything. Let them take away flares but let me kill AA with a single TV hit. Its actually DICE listening to whiners that get owned by helos.

Its balancing! jets only have one way of counter measures at a time just like every other vehicle. Why should the hhelicopter be so different? Even if their are 2 occupants the gunner can still reinhell on ground troops either way. I got 31 kills in the gunner seat last night and didnt pop my flares once.

Jets can easily distance a lock, heli can't. Jets have needed a nerf for a while... tired of stupid nerfs.

I guess I'm never going to unlock the Maverick dog tag. 50 kills with jet and 25 helo kills. It's going to be BF6 before I get that many.

You ain't alone I'll be retired before it happens.

How do you get 111% accuracy in a match???

Agree with Haru. I do think double flares + below radar was pretty retarded, a good pilot was invulnerable. But at least you could lock on and waste some Iglas on them. Jets you might be able to establish a lock and maybe waste 1 rocket on it, but they will flare it or out run it, then just fly off the map and come back when the cooldown has reset. Overall I feel flying is too much of it's own game, removing double flares helps that a bit, but I think Igla's should be able to lock onto Jets at a farther distance or something else needs to be done.

[mastrdrver]

The problem with not being able to long lock jets is that they can use double stealth right? They have to almost be on top of you to be able to establish a lock when they do that perk stacking.

One Bullet, two kills.

Okay - makes sense

I found when using my C4 to defend(2 kills at ounce for one ribbon) I got the ribbon more often then if I had sat there shooting them with the gun.At least now you can be in cover for it now instead of on top of it and get 1 kill at a time.

My only complaint is the mortar,Now it seems like it takes 4-5 hits(2-3 in HC mode) to kill one guy.Wish the damage from from them was more,By the time I get 300 kills BF 7 will be out.Anyways the patch is downloading now.At 5 am eastern.

Played alittle last night and yes the dart still works great close up! I was getting one shots with it in crowds of people. Some douche called me a dart whore so it must still be a hated weapon. Opened origin up before I left to let the new patch download. Hope it doesn't kill and of the good weapons.

[1Kurgan1]

Dart or Mass isn't any different that the 870 now, and at the right range, thats a one shot. Heck even the semi-auto m1014 can one shot, just have to hit them with most of the pellets and be in the right range. But I use the 1014 on Noshar TDM a lot and it just rapes.

Mine wasn't working very well against you the other night. Still wish I could of stabbed you in the nuts the other night when you leaped down with your balls in my face from the railroad tracks

[Wrigleyvillain]

Think I actually finally managed a front stab last night but dude was turning at the time and it happened pretty fast so...

The victim did say "nice" in chat, though.
