I wonder can they still be destroyed with these :
Like the good old Soviet Tanks

i doubt it, lol. todays MBTs and even LAVS are equipped with either armor coating, or a system, or both to protect them from molotovs.

and russian tanks have always been of quality, wether people like it or not. that as a fact i know.

I saw wood destroying an AT-ST and a cable disabling an AT-AT (saw it on TV, so it gotta be right, right?)so I think a T-90 wouldn't be any match against a good piece of lumber

as you said, its TV wood vs metal, metal wins in real life. plus that AT ST looked like plastic.
 
trust me, a good piece of lumer cant dent a LAV, maybe stop it because of its weight, but destroying it, no.

Maybe if you lit it on fire and stuffed it into the exhaust or up the cannon?

so the new update is out. took me about 2h to load -.-

what do you think about it?

personally, I hope the data for back to karkand is already inside this pack and I don't have to load another 2h next week.

good things:
- TacLite is less annoying now, but I didn't care anyway. You always saw the middle of the light and could spray the [censored] down
- .44 got even more range...yessss
- game runs far more stable, uses a bit less RAM and doesn't crash every 4-5 rounds. as for the other bugfixes...I guess they're good too. especially the spawn-fix on Team-DM.
- the needed coop-points to unlock the weapons has been dramatically reduced. G3 from 440k to 160k. as I think it's good they reduced it, I think the overdid it there a bit.
- the increase of flares for the helicopter-gunner makes it possible to take out even a heck of a helicopter-team when playing in a fine squad by Stingers.

bad things:
- Increasing the strength of the Jets against AA-Missiles/Stingers/etc. makes it really really hard to go against a good pilot. Had such a case yesterday when two pilots on Kharg Isle caused our loss because of their superiority
- they want you to use burst-fire, which wasn't really effective in BF2 - I always used semi-automatic, but this doesn't really work either in BF3 - by reducing the accuracy of automatic fire. Well, I was very tired yesterday, and when I'm very tired I just empty the full magazine when shooting, but it's really strange. when I was sure to eliminate 2 (as I would have done before the update) the result were two kill-assists with about 55. This btw makes the AEK and the F2000 now even, bcs of the AEKs superior accuracy in comparison to the F2000.
- PDW-R is still overpowered
- They decreased the power of the AA against Infantry and tanks. frankly...I'm kind of sad about this. Sure, the AA was a pure cheater-vehicle which didn't have to fear a tank, in fact I destroyed several with it, but it was kinda charming. with the AA less effective, I fear alll those lousy tank-n00bs who sit in a tank all the time and think they got skill when waiting just in front of a spawnpoint. espacially because tanks now have better chances against guided missiles.
- they still didn't make the Javelin more powerful

but that's just my honorable opinion.
what's yours?

interesting... didnt have time playing it yet but very interesting what theyre aproaching...

[Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i)]

oh and he IRNV is now completely [censored]. only 20-25m of sight with that thing. the rest is way too bright to see anything

[SoulPain (FanEAW)]

well i just played BF3 and downloaded its new 4 GB update (took about 15-20 minutes for me) and i have to say: dissapointed. except for the IRNV. but:

-M249 is still being spammed

-less rocket noobs at least

-jets: OVERPOWERED. me with a stinger trying to take out a jet ingame is comparable to a Corellian corvette trying to take out a Star Destroyer...

personally, the M249 ain't that strong I think. Unlike the M240B, which in fact is a serious cheat. but for M249, it's the same for the RPG-N00bs - it sooo depends on the map and the server. I recently won a round on Conquest-Metro as US! why? No RPG. was pretty fun. luckily for me they did not power down the USAS xD

as for Jets: to take out a jet, you have to play as a stinger squad. unfortunately the Javelins are way too slow to take out a jet, but 2-3 ppl with stingers in various positions on the map and the jet doesn't stand a chance. but of course, against a good pilot, you need the AA and LOTS of luck.

...but I'm looking forward to Karkand-DLC, again playing with the FAMAS and the L85....

me, alone with a stinger, vs a jet i was talking about, not AA or a squad lol...

flares in real life dont replenish, theyre not infinite. but then again its a game.

as I said: to take down a jet you need some friends playing with you.

flares don't. neither rockets (Jets/Helicopters) or health^^

And so with the Back to Karkand Map Pack released what is everyone's reactions?

I personally like the Gulf of Oman and Wake Island maps over anything but dislike how the Conquest/Conquest assault modes are together in the current way, thus making it a 50-50 chance of getting the full scale Conquest maps.  However it was rather fun getting the Nostalgic Feeling of standing on the tarmac of Wake Island and remembering all the playtime from Battlefield 1942, the Battlefield Vietnam WWII Mod, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 1943,  and also remembering all the fun times I had in Battlefield 2's Gulf of oman when stading on the Carrier deck looking to shore.

The new guns are neat but some of the immediate unlock attachments for them are idiotic(Ballistic scope mainly for the G53 and QBB-95).

[Stockholm Syndrome (pORG13i)]

I like it. espacially in CQL.
But I gotta say....Rush is just a massacre on the new maps. but maybe it's because I get in the losing team every time an d sadly it's a bad one too (loosing rush while the enemy has >60 tickets is really poor)

when I first tried the G53 I was like WTF? x12?

Overall....it's sad that they shortened Karkand. My 2 favourite flags were just erased.
overall it's a good DLC imho anyway.
