You do need to equip vehicle unlocks and you can only have three.
I agree if you're on foot there is nothing you can do about the jets, by the time you lock on they've gone but if there are a couple of you with stingers you can usually take down the helis unless he's a really good pilot. If he's not good as soon as you lock on he'll dump his flares or hit his jammer then you just wait and fire

I always play Conquest mode don't like the others. TDM is too much like COD for me, I'm too old for the spawn die stuff now
I have never liked the 4x scope, occasionally pick up a gun with one fitted and hate it

Ah right. Form a group eh? Do they have to be people you know or do you just join one in the players list?

How do you equip vehicle unlocks then? I am going to have to watch some Youtube instructional videos I think....

Yeah. Helos. I try and wait till they dump their flares but by then they've moved out of range or low, behind a building. The really good pilots are geostationary, orbiting the battlefield from high up and don't move even when their nose is pointed down so they can fire. Don't know how they manage it without going forward.

I'm too much of a noob to really know what weapons/scope etc combinations I prefer but 4x ACOG? site is pretty good for me. I think. Not sure though. Last night I was slaughtered playing Close Quarters, mercilessly and repeatedly. Never played that expansion pack before so the maps were obviously new for me and I guess most if not all other players knew the map inside out.

I'm gonna have to try and figure out how to enable those vehicle upgrades then as I thought they were just automatic. Well. Off I go then. I'm thinking I'll have another game now.

Here we go again.........Battlefield,Battlefield,Battlefield.........You and Swanny should team up elope and get married

Awwww. Is somebody feeling left out? Come on Timey, you can play too if you go and get your BF3 disc and press play! Actually you could buy BF4 for the PS3 and then upgrade it, then you can play with Swanny! I'm sure he'll go easy on you.

I am the same, Conquest all the way not interested in the other modes.

I will give this BF4 beta a go definitely, maybe it will spark my interest again. I have not been following the BF4 news/previews much at all.

Go to your main weapon selection screen, there are 3 tags. Soldier, air and land. Select Pandora air and select upgrades in there.
Not sure exactly how it looks on a pc. Before joining a server you can access it all in the " my soldier " bit
Hope this helps soldier

Good pilots are a pain in the [censored] you need to work together to get them then just hope they don't get another heli. The jet pilots should be taking them out.

The balance is definitely better with BF4 compared to BC2. The helicopters circle strafing on BC2 were a nightmare at times.

One of my favourite things is when you manage to hit a low flying Heli with the tanks cannon

Yea come on Timey just add me on ps3. Play on my squad and you'll be safe

Yea I love that

Thanks buddy. I will look into this and feedback. Can't believe I've missed such a crucial area. What a nitwit.
