Lets hope the AA needs skill to.

Burster took skill if the pilot had half a brain in their head.

BF2. where if you learned to get off the ground you got a free 5+ kill.. or if you got a tank.. or apc.. well. basically you got in any vehicle and chances are you got 5+ free kills even if you were mentally challenged.

I think flying should be like BF2142 before the noob patch that raised the flight ceiling.

Ah the days of flying under bridges, through trees, and stuff as well as under radar to break a lock on.

now its just fly straight up like a tard and loop spaming, sigh.

I seriously hope if they take vehicle balance and skill from any BF its BF2142. only BF game where you can't press the magic button to port into a vehicle and get auto kill sprees without watching your back, useing skill at driving, etc.

Honestly, 2142 is the same as BF2. Except the aircraft are more noob-friendly. I really hate the hover tanks though.

I think when they said skill based they meant you're good if you invest your "skill" points into flying.

I can't wait to invest points into my liberator maneuverability and everything so I can bomb anything without getting touched.

Invest in faster lock-on and such. Sounds simple enough.

no, its not x3. it takes more skilled people to kill people do to not having the "mega bomb of auto rape", not having noob shit like flairs. (the shield can't be spammed like flairs and lasts much shorter.), and before the whole looping and flying straight up noob patch it took great skill flying under bridges, weaving through a base at full speed, etc. also AA mattered a lot and was very good at taking down shit pilots. while pilots like me it would be more an annoyance.

all vehicles took more skill in BF2142. want to drive a tank and auto win useing it but your super bad like in BF2? not going to happen. cause you'll get one shotted by AV in the back or something else if you're stupid.

I swear, flying under bridges and through bases at full speed was easy stuff. 2142 was all I played back in 06 until I found PlanetSide. I sucked major ass at dogfighting in that game though. The mix between a helicopter/jet was confusing for A2A combat for me.

More like this (for AA):
They meant player skill for flying.

I love going against silly fools that try to get into circle fights with me. Wanna fly in circles? I can do this. It's called a Yo-Yo and you're dead. Try back and forth flying? Scissors. I'll take you out.

Man, I am really excited now. Must go read more, post less spam.

Time to break out the Ol microsoft sidewinder.

Heh, and you think you are going to be one of them? Lol, silly German

I'll show you how to fly a camera!

basti · 2011-07-14, 04:06 AM

Bah, tarts, both of you!

FastAndFree · 2011-07-14, 04:31 AM

This is how you keep the wannabees out of the sky

No, I couldn't do that myself
And don't forget to readjust your spin diffusors after every warp or you will overload the quantum harmonizers!

Jokes aside, I can't wait to crash my Reaver! Or Mosquito. Or whatever as long as it has wings and can crash
I wonder how the Flight Ceiling will work this time, has anyone heard anything about that?
