You need to team up with the other pilot if there are two jets, a rocket run with both jets will take out any vehicle with one run provided that you hit the target.

Its also harder for enemy aircraft to pick you off if your buddy is there to help you out.

I miss the black hawk and the apache :(

I prefer Helicopters, Jets usualy function as oversized missiles, with a pilot.

My experience with jets amounts to "Aim at the enemy, shoot at them until I crash"

Lots of fun screwing with helicopters though.

I have a lot of fun with the jets, but I'm terrible at flying the helicopters...I just need more practice haha.

Heh, other way round for me. Jets are suicide mission machines for me

I have either lots of luck or no luck with both...
Sometimes i do very well and perform epic feats of flying and other times i crash into everyone and their mum's dog...

Or sometimes you crash taking off, while plowing into everyone and their mum's dog.

That's happened like... once... maybe twice...
Though i was on it a few days ago...
May or may not have rammed both jets with a tank as they were trying to take off

That's what she said!

Purple, your an aweful pilot and you know it.

Fun thing to do with helis, or any vehicle. Attach a ton of c4 to it, and drive it into enemy tanks, hop out, and watch the fireworks.

Claymores on jeeps, drive by EXPLOSIONS!

I need to try that.

Can't be going to fast though, or it won't trigger.

My brother thought it would be funny to hover his heli at the end of the runway on Karg Island when I was trying to take off in the F/A18...well, lets just say we both ended up dying

First time I used a tank, I managed to shoot down a helicopter, though it was hovering, so it wasn't that great.

I'm not that bad...

Someone just managed to flip over our boat on Noshar Canals before we even left the US deployment zone, killing me and two other guys...

Rockets?

This used to happen all the time to me on BFBC2: Vietnam. I don't know why it's suddenly 'harder' to shoot choppers with a tank gun, but it evidently is 'cos it's nowhere near as frequent

Try mines on the front of the jeep and ram a tank - dosent always work but when it does.....

Also strap some C4 to one, drive it into a tank (obviously bail out before it hits), detonate.

C4 stationary tanks at places like checkpoint and garage on Caspian, wait for 2 (or 3 guys if they have commander seat upgrade) to enter. Show me those points.

Another one we tried was getting your sniper buddy to stand on the top of your MAV (it can be done) and taking him up to unreachable places like the comms towers on Kharg island.

Dammit this thread is getting me super excited to get this game. Cant wait to get in, feel like a total noob, while figuring out how to play it, and then kill some gak

I played it continuosly KC until Skyrim dropped but am back on it now, it is really fantastic fun.
Theres a role for everyone really, from ground to air to tank to foot trooper, healer, sniper, hit and run, stealth, support etc.
Lately I've been simply flying the MAV around on the bigger maps, tagging enemies for my buddys to target/shoot, its like playing a mini wargame yourself.
Great stuff.

The best kind of shenanigens

The C4 trick on jeeps is pretty awesome. I remember when Mercenaries was pretty popular, I used to do that in that game as well. Would take out a gak load of baddies. Possibly today, definitely tomorrow the 360 should arrive. Sadly, I wont get too much time with it, since we mainly bought the kinect for the kids to enjoy. So once I get sick enough of watching them jump around like fools, Ill be killin mofos.

Im not really a fan of sniping personally, that has always been just too dull. I seem to play a bit aggressive in FPS like this. I was almost always the Pyro in TF2 (HA_I_BURNED_YOU, hilarious right?) and Im a HUGE fan of the tactical marine in SpaceMarine. So I seem to do well in striking fast and hard, and then trying to get the hell out before I go down lol

So, every class then? Cause you can just slap a shotgun on a recon and have at it.

A few fun/cool vids I saw elsewhere:





Wgbdvs vids are really excellent, just simple stuff thinking outside the box but getting some hilarious/awesome kills whilst at it. Great editing too, check them out on his page.

..............................Really?

That was quite cool.
