    @Alastair

    Thinnk you can lay down 6 mines and they will stay in the game. If 6 are in the game and you put a seventh down then the oldest one you placed will disappear

    Do you guys use in cockpit view in jets? I find it do much harder to control! But no aim...

    Maybe this is my problem.. I've seen youtube vids of jet pilots effortlessly shooting people out of the sky with cannon, or strafing tanks.
    I barely register a hit. The targetting reticule is the one that lags about a bit, right?
    I find the lagging reticule to be next to useless to be honest. For shooting things with guns, unless they are really fast moving things like other jets, you are about as likely to get a hit with the static crosshairs.

    A lot of my jet points I get by holding down the decelerate button to bring the speed of the plane down, but not so much that the landing gear comes out, and lining up the static crosshairs with tanks or infantry. Then, hold down the bullets button and hopefully get some assist points, some vehicle disabled points, or if you have time for another pass, perhaps even some kills.

    The guns on the Rush maps (in the A-10 and Frogfoot) can take out tanks in a single pass if you get behind them, they seem a bit more potent against infantry, too.

    I didn't think they did any more?

    In relation to mines I mean.

    Was having a great match on Oman in the jet. Was trying out the laser guided missile. Couple of recons were soflaming targets all through the match.

    Frogfoot, kharg rush and if the other team has shit pilots then it is so much fun. Just shooting up the lavs and amtrac leaving the carrier. The rockets came in very handy for me on those modes

    Never got excited flying jets playing ring a ring o' roses with the enemy jets.And seeing the enemy with all flags and the urge to get down and help the team out.Now I only ever use a jet to break a spawn lock and cap a flag back for the team to spawn on,which they never do and just sit back at base and eat incoming enemy shells.

    Probably more rewarding on Rush maps with a tighter map section to work with.

    And if they do go with jets again in BF4,I hope they limit them to 1 per side on console.

    @ecureuil this appears to be a slip up unless GamesVillage.it are Dice's best friends.

    Looks like the tank combat mode will work fine on consoles though.

    Man, trying to get mine kills is a complete nightmare. Nobody ever runs over them. This assignment should be for no more than 10, 20 is far too much, given you need to lay down about 2000 mines just to get a single kill from it.

    Mines in Caspian, not the main roads but all the side tracks. One mine usually gets a kill against the buggies. Just look at all the shortcuts the buggies will go mainly between bravo and delta.


    Love running upto tanks throwing some mines next to it, throw a grenade at the mines then running away

    Haha fletch, That's a great one. I still use my good old BC2 ways of using ATM's against infantry! Who needs claymore's when you can ding a few mines into a pit of people and lob a grenade in there.

    Always remember (for those people wanting more ATM kills) if you see some laid by the other team chuck one in there on top of their own. Most never bother checking friendly mines, so some will roll over their own, trigger yours which then becomes a force multiplier setting off all the others! BOOM.

    May I say Armoured Kill looks oh so sweet. Might actually inject more fun, a step closer to BC2's fun factor.

    Only problem will probably end up being maps that are too large and with too many people in vehicles for the combat to have a natural and dynamic flow like BFBC2.

    Like the out-of-the-box big maps of the main game. Probably brilliant on PC with a lot of big servers and a lot of people, but sparse and deserted for the most part on consoles. Unfortunately.

    I wonder if Armored Kill can be played ás rush and conquest. I was thoroughly dissapointed to learn of the gáme modes in Close Quarters.

    Whaaat? That could be a deal breaker for me, I know Rush is not as strong in BF3 but it by far the best way to play the large maps with only 24 players.

    I am not a premium so I can cherry pick the DLC and this one seemed to be a no-brainer, but with no extra weapons which transfer-over to the main game it's easier to leave this one out.

    Had some enjoyable games yesterday,must have been the excitement of watching the AK DLC trailer.

    Flying the Venom on 4 flag Oman like a crazyman capping A flag.Then it filled right up and I parked it in the groundfloor building of B flag,and the buggy spawned and stopped me from lifting my full payload back into the air.

    My jihad buggy seems to always go from 60 mph to 0 when I jump out.Which is embarrassing with a c4 clicker in your hand,a tank looking at you.And the buggy parked 15 feet away from target.Mainly happens on Wake and Oman.

    Also when I go to repair someones tank,the repair tool takes 5 seconds to come out,and I have two empty hands up in the air.

    I think they should steal the main mode from Front lines / Homefront for future DLC in that you'd be fighting over two or even one objectives closer together with the winning team pushing the other back to a different set of flags closer to the enemy teams spawn.

    Personally I think it would work great on most of the maps though I think doing so would be almost like admitting defeat :/ I'd love to see it happen though

    Don't worry, I did some research and I was wrong. The official Battlefield 3 site says "All maps playable with all six game modes" for Armored Kill. Yay. :D
