So I found out you can damage enemy tanks with the repair tool am I right? Like in BFV

Dont see how this is very useful though since engis carry rocket launchers..
It's actually very useful and if the tank isn't actually watching their health meter, very unexpected.

General sequence of events. I'm in tank, engineer runs up to me and starts using power tool, I get out of tank, engineer gets in, I blow up tank with rocket.

Mines have IFF systems (do not explode from friendly vehicles..)

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me

yep... unless you shoot them near a teammate with ff=on. the explosion does damage your teammate, but that's obviously expected.

Me and fin have been having shit loads of fun with atv's, he's going for road kills, I'll ride shotgun and tag tanks with the tracer dart, then try and destroy them while fin circles around the block, good laughs.

Question regarding alternate fire for gunner and pilot in attack heli:
Ok, so if the gunner has alternate fire perk, he can shoot a tracer dart onto a tank or something. If the pilot has alternate fire perk, he can launch a tow missile (funny side note: the first time I used that, I didn't know you should be locking onto the gunner's tracer dart so I just had to memorize the distance and use it like that).
Do you have to hold your cursor over the tracer dart, similar to when using an RPG, and wait for a lock? Or does it just lock automatically if it's on your screen and in-view? Also, I assume this is possible, but can you lock onto other people's tracers as well, and not just your gunner's?

Harharhar... I'm pretty sure only 1 person has to have alt-fire.

Incorrect. Just because you have perks and your in someone else's vehicle you don't just share perks that would just be lulzy.

Exactly.

Besides, the pilot's alt fire is the tow missile. The gunner's alt fire is the tracer. If a pilot has alt fire on, he gets the tow missile. If a gunner has alt fire on, he gets the tracer.

Lame. Does the system work with ground fired tracers?

The heli pilots alt fire can lock onto any tracer.

The heli gunners alt fire tracer can be locked onto by any rocket.

Ok, since no one could figure this shit out yet I joined an empty server and played around.
EDIT: D'oh! Beat by james, right as I was typing this

---

As a pilot with alternate fire, you do not have to lock onto the tracer as with an RPG or Gustav. However, you can't just shoot your tow missile willy nilly. Your cursor has to be over or near the red box and you can fire away, the missile will track to it. Even just sweeping/dragging over the box, you can pull off a shot and it'll track, so there's no need to hold it on the box to guide it either.
While on the ground I shot a tracer onto an empty tank, then hopped into the pilot's seat and the red box showed up, and I was able to do the exact same thing as if my gunner had shot the tracer (previously I switched to the gunner seat and shot the tracer).

---

In conclusion, any good heli/gunner team should both have alternate fire perks. It's the true anti-vehicle weaponry of your helicopter. Save the machinegun and missile spray for infantry. (However, having a gunner with increased vehicle damage perk is very good, too).

Apparently there's a rank glitch in this game now Loaded into a server, everyone else had ranks, I didn't. Had no unlocks either.

Yeah, had a lot of problems today with getting disconnected, crashing, rank not working, unlocks not showing up. Funnily enough I also updated the game earlier today. As we all know with BF2 patches, updates seem to fuck more shit up than fix.

Boatkills: Isla Innocentes + hide boat behind hill + spam grenades up enemy spawn = Winwinwinwinwin

Payback pin is the one where you have to get killed by the same guy 5 times in a row and then shoot him?

Basically the purple heart of BFBC2

I've only managed to suck enough to get it one time... doubt I will ever get the 4 remaining ones for the medal without purposely getting killed on a Squad map...

had a nice game last night, 30-10, 15 of the kills were knife kills

infact all my games last night were pretty good, got to play some squad rush as well, pretty fun against a good team but against shit players you just steamroller them in minutes.

Best sniping game just now. 28-12 doesn't look too flash until you consider the next best was 8.
