I played my first Rush round today (in Bf3) and what you are saying is exactly why i hate Rush. Conquest isn't that bad, but god Rush is just so awful.

So my buddy and I were thinking of ways to disable the jets of the other team for the whole game. What we came up with is, for example on caspian border, fly the gunship low around the outside of the map at the start of the game. Come in on their runway and I hop out, I'm always the gunner cause my flying skills blow, then proceed to put c4 in a line across the runway. I would hop back in before the 10 secs are up to reset it if I needed. Then you blow up the c4 and it leaves craters on the runway for the rest of the game causing the airplanes to blow up if they try and take off.

There you have it. Once you take down their jets there won't be anymore flying for the rest of the match. Then you only have to worry about the opposing gunship, which is far easier to take down then the jets imo.

As far as I can tell, the m40a5 has nearly perfect accuracy. If you can't hit stuff, it's probably because you're not that good at hitting with the first shot. Having to zoom-out between every shot does hurt your aim somewhat, but once you get the upgrade that stops this it should be easier. Until you got this, I recommend you stay zoomed until you see where the bullet hit before zooming-out to chamber another round.

This aside my main question is what exactly determines the damage the m40a5 does? I don't know why, but I think about 80% of my shots with the gun will 1-shot an enemy even when it isn't a headshot. My question is, why not the other 20%? Do different classes have different armor like BF2? (I didn't see this mentioned anywhere) Does the damage vary on range? Do have to hit a specific part, like the torso?

If anyone knows it'd be appreciated.

On an interesting note, I once managed to actually kill 2 people with 1 bullet from this gun.

Several problems with this:

1) Most runways have an emplaced AA defence nearby.
2) Gunships are actually fairly good at killing other gunships once they got the heat-seeking missles.
3) If you ever start getting too strong, they'll just have a few engineers pick up stingers and you won't be able to fly anything
4) It's very probable that this kind of thing would get you banned as exploiting

Setting that side, does C4 even crater the runway?

some maps have no way round narrow chokepoints, no flanking, no nothing.
So if one side is ahead 1 objective they just set up camp and spam explosives until the enemy gets a sqaud trough 100 deaths later.
Its really just mapdesign and not the rockets that are the problem.

And the smaller infantry maps where 10 people set up mortars at spawn are the worst, cant even shoot them like in BC2.

Mortar has unlimited ammo supply also, am i right? You can kill with it easily but you can get killed as easily.

@Xinder
Does guided missle work as AA? I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I thought it went with the recon laser-pointer thing so that once the recon targetted something, it will autolock.

That aside, jumping out of the helicopter in the spawn area of the map which is marked to kill you if you're on the ground there to lay c4 then hopping back in before the timer is up is clearly exploiting. The clear intention of this timer is to stop people from doing things like you're talking about and stealing vehicles from the main spawn.

The thing i hate most about bf3 atm is rocket spaming everywhere on every map.. wherever you go, you get hit by 15 rockets then you hide to heal and you get another 20 in the face. They should remove all rpg type weapons from non vehicle maps.
