Oops forgot about C4.
Ah well, Assault can't do anything practically against tanks so I don't really see why Recon should be able to either. It's not like Recons really get stuck into things unless they're using one of the PDWs which any other class can use anyway.

This morning I had a great moment. C4'ed my jeep and started hunting for a tank. My first attempt was unsuccessfull, I took down a MBT on my 2nd one. Another round of jihad jeep, I go for the checkpoint on Caspian Border (bad choice but there was only 1 tank spotted on the map /o\ ). Somehow i miss the tank and i end up being stuck between 3 people shooting at me. I died but on the killcam i saw the people going for the Growler.
I respawn and instantly trigger the detonator. *BOOM* tripple kill + rage in chat
no, triggering c4 after you've died is working as intended, same as your AT mines remaining on the map when you die
great was my joy when i realised this
Do they stay around forever after death (assuming you dont throw more) or do they expire after X amount of time?

after ze googling, I find that the wiki says they vanish 20secs after your death (since patch of dec. 6th)
So I was rwong.
In any case, c4 has the restriction that you can only plant 6 of it at the same time, as you plant additional c4, the rest will disappear (as you probably know). Isn't it the same with mines, e.g. you can have three planted at a time?
with explosives perk you can plant at least 6 mines.
I tried jihad jeep with mines.
Didnt work.

even if it did work, there's nothing like seeing that detonator being triggered and the following BABOOM
or the short moment between AM I GONNA GET HIM and the tank indeed asploding
Yeah C4 is far more fun, I just thought mines might work.
And they do work sort of.
When you ram them they have to actualy get moved by the ram or your mines wont trigger and also, if you jump of something big in your jeep with mines some of the time they trigger themselves, why I have no clue.
And you will always kill yourself.

320 only does meaningful damage to humvees and jeeps, it does nothing worth mentioning to IFVs or MBTs.as assault, spam m320 rounds at vehicles. iirc you can easily disable a vehicle.Oops forgot about C4.

tma mortar.
All i do is clear ordinance, tanks and LAVs can be a good target if they sit still (duh) but vs infantry, I mostly get 24pt kill assists and maybe one or two kills before some fucker runs all the way to the base and kills me. And even if I fire at chokepoints, most of the time there is no follow up and those guys I hit can regenerate.
Hit indicator tells me I do hit stuff all the time, but at the moment I think they are kind of useless compared to if you are mobile and carry an rpg?
Note, it's not the getting few points that bothers me, but the impression that, on the whole, it is kinda useless compared to all the other choices?
tbh the mortars not so much about killing power and more about area denial and suppression. spam it into a choke point and all the blokes around it will be all man i dont want to go over there il get exploded and then your team can advance.
so its completely useless in pub matches
figures
I have fond memories of mortaring in enemy territory (which also took more skill because you didn't have a fucking crossair you just move over a map to hit the exact spot), therefore my disappointment
also, perma marked on map = teh ubergay

Not super well but they do.
You need an ammo box so you dont run out of rounds.

Yes, you can plink an IFV with the 320 if you want. Tell me how well that works out for you.They do work on IFVs.320 only does meaningful damage to humvees and jeeps, it does nothing worth mentioning to IFVs or MBTs.as assault, spam m320 rounds at vehicles. iirc you can easily disable a vehicle.Oops forgot about C4.

Went on to have a laugh grind some attachments and chill out, sadly its 'FULL ON RETARD' day and so went quite badly, whole teams hiding in bushes doing nothing, people who dont know how to defend a cap or MCOM and the best is TKing for vehicles.

Join a 64 server, see 10+ ppl on my team not in a squad, just leave and find another server. It amazes me that teams will get owned and still nobody joins squads. Even in pub games where ppl aren't implicitly being team players you issue an attack obj order and they'll often do it. It makes a difference, I'm kinda annoyed that Dice removed auto squad join in the first place.
i would rather favorably support a buff to mortar (kill radius & such) if it required ET style aiming(impact markers & all that jazz). that stuff was the shit. didn't require a physics a degree, but you had to put in some effort to master that beast.(we are talking about wolfenstein: et yes? idk about quake:et)
wolfet, yes
which brings me to air- and artillery strikes, I kept trying to press "B" when playing support in my first few games of bf3...
(not that I didn't have a gay autoexec with insta calling arty to where you crosshair was)

As a devout ARMA fan, is there any reason I should get Battlefield 3? Seems pretty much the same to me, only less realistic/fewer vehicles. Not trying to shitpost or hate on the game, genuinely wondering if its worth getting if I already play ARMA 2.
Depends what you do in Arma. If you're looking for simulation-style gameplay with dudes that cover each other and use some level of tactics... then well, no, BF3 is not for you. If you want to drive a jeep covered in C4 into a tank and giggle gleefully as you blow it to kingdom come, then, yes, BF3 is for you.
