Don't know what you're talking about, CWaG.

I just got 84 kills in a game, with a endscore of 213(300 point game down to 0, with just about equal teams- but this time I was about 40 ahead of the guy behind me.

32 Man EA WC(west coast) servers. The 32 men ones have just enough people to allow mass slaughter, and almost no lag, to the point of my ping being 15-30. LAN ping ftw

You've got to realize a single AA can't take down a fresh jet unless you pull something really nice. The best you can do is deter him and soften him up for anyone else to finish - fire a single missile, wait til you re-lock after the flares, fire a second missile and even if it doesn't hit he's out of flares for a while. The best way to take them down though is with manual AA fire or other jets (switch to bomb targetting and just chaingun up their butts at the start, then carefully without killing any teammates send him heatseekers if you need to finish the job).

Takes down their score an extra 2 points from the 5 already minused away.

And if punished enough they're bant. I know cause I accidentially got tempbant back when i sucked at bombing in the F35. heh.

BTW, good news, and a tip for copter pilots that is actually useful!

Good News: I got PFC, for real. Not the one a ton of people get 3, 4, 5 times. I got the real PFC <!--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-->

Copter Tip: Gonna crash into a enemy copter? Angle down towards him- if your blades are almost touching him, you won't be hurt much, but he will recieve enough damage to kill him after 1 second of continuous touch. This has saved me on numerous occasions- also use it for the annoying **** that you can't seem to get a good missile onto.

If it's a fairly stupid pilot or if he just can't see where you are, then you can lock and wait until he drops his flares. After he does, re-lock and fire both missiles before he gets out of range.

I usually have good luck with that.

If its not a stupid pilot, you're screwed though.

Does anyone know if that bug that didn't let you bind certain keys (like the numpad) is fixed in the retail version?

These are my filters when I'm searching for games:

Ranked
Not full
Not empty
BattleCommo
Medium maps
>20 players

Filters don't seem to work too well for me, though... I still get full servers on the list when I click Apply Filters.

Is it me, or does the ranked servers not seem to work well? I know I've been playing for about 2 days striaght and I only have 1 minuite on medic, even though thats the class I use constantly :/

I haven't noticed many changes either, instead of the lack of any lockups and it being a teeny bit faster.
