I think you misunderstood, the camera leaves the plane behind and follows the bombs all the way down to impact.

Ah sorry, no pearl harbor poo poo :lol: just tried it on the bomber, and it's the same as the other planes:

Also notice at the end if you hit the fire button again even after releasing it, the camera snaps to the point of impact. Careful while doing this though because if you wait too long the bombs will reload and just drop another set, heh. Best to just keep your finger on the trigger after pooping em out the first time and pull up.

That was pretty great. I feel like that gun's damage output is barely one step above the Kolibri though.

Uhhh I'd love to see footage of this, I guess I'll log on and check? Pretty sure the other planes do the same thing as the trench fighter in the clip: by holding the fire button down after making GBS threads out bombs, the camera tracks the point of impact no matter where your plane is going. You can see my tail clip through as I complete the loop.


pssssh your only roadkill? I don't think there's enough space on mine for the killmarks :grin: (are you seriously telling me you've played this long and haven't rammed a pilot in the nuts as he pulls his chute cause you shot his plane to pieces? for shame)


Maybe it's time for me to take a cue from you and just sit on the pubbie side for a game sniping at goons :wink:

Dude check out my compilation video, I totally roadkilled some pilot while flying the bomber at Ballroom Blitz! You're just the only victim I've hit with the fighter. Which reminds me, sometime we gotta try a mid-air rescue with either an attack plane or bomber.

I didn't used to like the mortar but it's extremely handy for taking out tanks or snipers without exposing yourself. Helps a ton if your teammates are actually popping flares though.

If the Battlefront DLC releases are anything to go by, then yeah, pretty much. You know it's due in month X, but the precise date isn't usually announced until last minute. I reckon to avoid any mass whining if they need to hold it back a week and then a million nerds go nuclear with rage. Smart. Usually drops on the Tuesday, and with Premium getting a two week headstart we could see it on the 7th. Defo the 14th otherwise.

Edit: apparently is 14th for Premium, 28th for filthy proles.

Anyway, with France around the corner, they dropped concept art for Eastern Front.

I was babbling about this the other day. I killed the same tanker 3 times in a row, from roughly the same area. Never once did it occur to the guy to look for me. Every time he was just focused on charging in for easy infantry kills.

I don't get that mindset. You have a tank, your opposite in number must exist, why not at least look out for him?

The only thing I can figure is that for him, those 6-7 kills he got before I blew him up represented an amazing killstreak, so why do anything different?

I'm fine with this. Rear gunner sits on his hands doing gently caress all for most of the match, having Best Gun for those moments he actually gets to contribute is a small way of encouraging them not to treat that seat as a forward spawn point before bailing.

I also think the one change needed to stop making tank gunners leave out of boredom is to allow them a third person camera view. I try being a good and dedicated gunner sometimes, but you can sit there for 10 minutes and get one, maybe two lucky kills, and who on earth thinks this is a good use of time? If you have a squad and voice chat, sure, maybe. Most of the tanks I see rolling around have just the driver in them. 3rd person cam to let them spot and look for threats and you make those empty seats a bit more appealing.

That's my one wish for the game. That and making the level 10 pilot/tanker unlocks available for all classes. That's really all I want changed.

Agreed. Having 3rd person for gunners would at least allow you a wide enough field of view so that you can see all the guys running around that you can't shoot at because your dumb pubbie driver parked your gunport against a wall.

I really want to like the pickaxe and hatchet (because god drat they're satisfying when they work), but if you're a melee maniac like me the knives are just straight-up the best option. They're fast and by far the easiest to kill with.
