Ugh, I am unimpressed as a tanker. Air kills are much more frequent and effective now, and fire from opposing tanks straight on seems faster at 2 hits for a kill. The air now dominates many rounds, and if you are lucky enough to escape an air attack, there is high probability you will be killed trying to repair. Repairs now take forever + 1 day. :(

I hear you Nick. I just played on another server and pulled gold and silver in two rounds. I twice used AA and the 2nd time I was Admin killed. He said no AA allowed. I said, well then remove it from the game. AS it turns out there is a warning note, but in BF3 I rarely spend any time reading.

I think the changes I mentioned prior for air and arty are overkill, and they need to reverse or find a compromise.

Wait - so air is way more effective but you can't use AA to kill them? How does that work?

Yeah Larry, I noticed the repair torch has been lamed down a lot. An interesting observation that I've both heard and made is that the torch is much more effective now at destroying enemy armor.

So if I can just get Tim and Nick to C4 me in a jeep waaaay up in the air, I can torch the enemy planes for you!

Oh and btw there Sarge, you sound a lot like General Douglas MacArthur all of a sudden.

Speaking of Douglas MacArthur, some of you know I just returned from two weeks in Australia. On my way back, I was in Auckland and 4 seats in front of me was Tommy Lee Jones, who is filming MacArthur in New Zealand. I can post some pics if you're interested.
