My only gripe at the moment is with the planes. They are great fun to use, and great for shooting down other planes/the odd helicopter who doesn't know how to use flares, but that is about it. Even with the two seat russian plane, i havn't been able to really do anything to groudn targets. I remember reading somewhere about 'painting' a target for a friendly aircraft.

As soon as the game started, all of our equipment was dead to his bombs. We never got to use artillery, UAV, or scan like... ever. It was nuts, the guy could even hit a single soldier with a bomb out of the air.

Only fun thing I've done so far is sneak onto the aircraft carrier, get into one of the hawk's Miniguns, and wipe out the 10 or so people who were just waiting for a plane to spawn. Good times <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
That and have a sniping contest with a guy on the crane while I was on that high building (that you can jump off into the swimming pool from). That was very fun indeed.

If you want to stop a bomber, get in a plane and target him. I can guarantee you that he will pull out as soon as he hears the 'beeeeeeep' and take evasive action.

i just played on it for a while against like 1 or 2 other dudes. it was great when i was screwing around on the big long bridge planting charges, and then i see 2 dudes driving a jeep down it shooting at me, i panic and blow the bridge. the dust clears and the 2 dudes are in the water. i step too close and fall in the bridge hole, then speedswim to the side just in time to pull out my gun and kill them both.

Bah, remind me never to go commander again... I just dropped an artillery strike on top of a group of 5 friendlies and got a lot of haet <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
In my defence, there WERE three enemies there when I launched the strike.
The NSA server needs FF on. Artillery strikes lose all disadvantages. Just throw one on top of your advancing forces and you are good to go. Spawn times imo need to be increased too. I killed the same guy 3-4 times in a row before he got me.
