One shot kill Stingers or Rockets aren't needed.  As was noted already, just don't bring back flyby repairs, supply drop repairs, and engineer convoy repairs.  Require someone to be outside like BC2.

I never played BC2. How did helicopter/jet repairs and reload work? I guess it's easy enough for choppers to land, but for planes it is more difficult. I would think you should be able to at least fly-by rearm.

No engineer convoy? Damn... why not if you don't mind the asking?

Same as old bf2 with the helipad pretty much. Although engineer could repair it as normal.

Jets should never have flyby rearm or repair, there are methods of making landing a jet easier. Perhaps maybe a launch parachute button to slow the jet down when landing.
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.

Helicopter and vehicle repairs occurred by getting out and using the wrench. No more magic repairs or magic heals or magic ammo replacement.

Yeah, ammo.  Will BF3 have finite vehicle ammo like BF2?

I would assume so. The infinite ammo system is goofy, but I feel the same for "replacing" any ammo of vehicles. Returning to a helipad seemed fine to me, but chucking ammo packs at a dude in a chopper is wonky. I'm pretty sure I heard somewhere that BF3 isn't including a commander so I can't be sure what's going to happen.

no you aren't, you're only connected to the server.  everyone sends information to the server, and then the server sends the information back to everyone else.  that's why it doesn't matter if people on the server have high pings, and servers who employed the high ping kick to try to keep the server lag free were retarded

Yeah, G@lt, that's total bullshit, sorry.

E:@HaiBai, high ping kicks were for people who lagged all over the screen, they actually make it harder for you to hit them.

yeah i know that, but there were a lot of server admins who had the same belief as galt, that high pingers directly make your ping higher.

Transports, yes.  Attack ones, no.  BC2 style repair makes sense.

As long as there is no realistic counter against air vehicles, i.e. mobile AA (Stinger missiles) for infantry or mounted on fast vehicles (and not on slow tanks), air vehicles will ALWAYS dominate the game.
The devs can add whatever restrictive things they want, but players will quickly find out the best ways to play and rape everything else.

Of course, that's how it should be. Air vehicles at the top of the food chain.

What's the point in having a jet on your team if some nob on the enemy team can select a class with stinger and take you down with little effort?

Vehicles make the bf series.

lol crybabies

give AA stations short range then make them very effective. That way they're a deterrent to jets: if someone gets in range to bomb they die, if they fly off they survive. So, you can't freely go around bombing shit, but you don't get shot down by ADD kiddies who can't play the game either.

Perhaps in RL ... but not in a game that seeks to balance game play.

The only balance should be the balance of the 2 teams. if you're lucky enough to get a jet/heli/tank you shouldn't be on par with 1 infantryman, that's stupid.
