Bump up your dpi when you get in a vehicle, and then when flying around/evading use your keyboard and switch to your mouse when you get into a dogfight, so you can have more sensitive aim.
otherwise, just takes more practice.
ps unlocked laser guided missles fuck yeah, taking out tanks with jets is awesome ^_^

Is it just me or is a naked SCAR-H horrible in this game? I can't kill anything at a distance. Was so happy when I unlocked it too ,_,

ever since they unlocked Caspian again i haven't been able to play at all :S
Before i was playing nonstop without the slightest problem, but now i'm stuck at "matchmaking..." forever, and if a manage to get in through the server browser the game usually freezes after a few minutes.

I have an MS Sidewinder (yeah it's ancient but it worked fine with BF2 and BC2) and even after setting the controls (though it was quite a chore as the menu is buggy as shit, also some controls have multiple entries like "Roll right") I got into a jet, cranked the throttle, pulled up on the stick and... proceeded to veer off and crash into a tree. Just wondering if its something unavailable in the beta or the stick itself. Yeah, I had tons of trouble with the controls as well (using a really old Logitech Wingman Force 3D). Default controls don't seem to be set correctly ingame.
I'm with you there. I'm using a ps2 controller with usb adapter..
Overall I got the feeling that some of the pitch/yaw/roll axes are always inverted the wrong way regardless if you toggle "inverted" or not in the gameplay menu. But I couldn't find out exactly because my patience with the buggy config menu was running out eventually. It didnt exactly help either that you can only configure the controls while being ingame and only try them out on a server with at least 8 players ingame who are usually occupying the jets and helis.
But its only a beta, so I'm sure this'll get fixed eventually. So far the game looks really amazing.

So what browser and version are you using?

It's so difficult to use jets with zero unlocks when someone else has AA missile unlocked. I raged to hard today
|
So why the fuck does you and the vehicles you use regenerate hp. Annoying as shit when you are trying to kill an enemy airplane and they just fly away and regenerate. Also the hit registration in this game is so bad, does anybody know if they will fix that for release or will it just be as broken as it is now?

As much as I thought this would be good, I just played Caspian Border for a few hours. Now I seriously consider not buying this game.
It seemed much appealing in the start - when playing Metro, but now it's just 64 people waiting to get one of the super rare planes or helicopters, or else just bitch about it in chat.

I tried: Firefox 7 Internet Explorer 9
Both updated to the newest version. Still bugged now, but at least I can join games again.

My only beef with Caspian is the engineer class. I love the style of Red Orchestra where there were only a few dedicated anti-tank slots.
In this game there is next to no disadvantage to going engineer over assault as their weapons pretty much are the same (or just toss the UMP on anyways). This leaves you with probably 20+/32 players being engineers which coupled with the amount of foliage and places you can shoot/hide/reload from make your heavy armour absolutely useless.
Tanks need some staying power as they are... tanks. I'm not even sure why engineers even have 4-5 rpgs on them anyways.

Well armor vehicles have always been pretty easy to kill, especially in BF 1942 were a couple hand grenades could take them out. I think they did all they could as far as making assault more worthy of the large maps since they are medics now as well. Much easier to take flags if you can heal yourself and engineers just like recon has that downside that they need someone around to keep them alive.
I think supports still the weak link, which in my opinion it has always been. Nothings more fun than killing tanks and jets as an engineer though, I'll give you that. (RO did have that done properly though I agree, that one anti tank big ass rifle was sick too, the one you had to be prone to even use lol)

The SCAR-H certainly isn't one of the best, but I used it for quite a while and it can definitely hold its own at all distances. It can be pretty accurate if you can control the recoil for up to medium/long distances. For super long distances, tapping single shots works well.
|
Well the beta is no fun at all. So buggy. Controls are so strange. This is definitely a no buy for me.
|
Fuck AA guns.
I just crash into them, ejecting before I crash. They flip over, I live!

The gun is hit or miss for me. On Caspian Border, I use the ACOG, foregrip, and heavy barrel since this map does have a lot of long range combat. The gun can be very strong if the bullet registration and the server is good enough. I find that 2 -4 bullets can easily kill the enemy when I put the gun on single shot fire. When it comes to close quarters combat, I tend to get owned more than killing (probably because of the heavy barrel). Lately, I've been going back to the default weapons like the M16, M4, etc and I do better with those weapons compared to the unlock ones like M416, AEK, etc.
