w00t, that is some nice changes

"Hit points on all air vehicles has been reduced"

so that means it will take more gun/missile hits right?

[LA_MERC_BS]

Sounds like it takes less to me. Cant believe they are messing with the G3A3. That sucks.

[LA_MERC_eX1|eS' ch1|d]

Jets and helos will take fewer hits to kill and anti-air missles are supposed to be better. You are going to need some fancy flying now or the ground may take you out.

[LA_MERC_Diesel]

yeah it means 2 missles will destroy a plane, and probably one instance of guns and a missle. I would imagine 2 aa missle will take out a blackhawk as well now...fav's may mean insta-death now....the hardest thing will be the attack chopers probably..fav's will probably mean instant death for them...as in real battle you do not "hover" a copter in the middle of the battle, they will have to hide and attack from behind the front lines.

BS I think since no one uses the great G3..they are increasing the damage on it, to compensate for no nube tube attached...same for the medic sa-80...that is what I remember..both weapons will be alot better, and very accurate..but I could be wrong.

[Biggs]

yeah...i got some more tricks up my sleeve for evading AA....bring it foos.

i would use the g3....but i dont like the mag count of 20 rounds

[LA_MERC_BS]

I was confused. I was thinking of hte G36E medic gun. I thought they were changing that. That has to be the second greatest BF2 gun made next to the F2000.
