My buddy's and I like to call them "Anti-Air poles", and we hate their very souls...

[–]theunderjungle 7 points8 points ago

This is how babies are made.

[–]V1ruk 14 points15 points ago

My favourite term for them has been "Noob hooks". New pilots get ruined by them constantly.

[–]hankwareagle 6 points7 points ago

im a pretty good pilot and still I catch myself flying low and see one at the last second, that shit is like herpes

[–]Not_a_necromorph 0 points1 point ago

It stays with you until the end?

[–]hankwareagle 0 points1 point ago

nope, it fucks you over

[–]V1ruk 1 point2 points ago

Do you even see them at the last second anymore, or are you at that point where you sense the impending doom? Once I hit the deck I can almost smell those damn noob hooks.

[–]hankwareagle 1 point2 points ago

i definitely don't see them, im usually more focused on air radar or other jets, coptors or igla lock ons to bother with it. I think its more of my subconscious realizing "Hey fuck face, if you keep flying low over areas that arent the sea and hills, you're going to not live long." And one of the most useful things about the jet is the below radar still working, so unless im getting tailed, I think my brain just realizes to keep my dick off the ground.

Tip that may or may not be helpful, if a guy is on your ass and you cant shake him, like some lvl 100 bastard today, I put my self in danger by flying low on kharg after we had a loopty loop battle by the last set of mcoms, mother fucker hit a pole and exploded, got some hate mail for that

[–]pizzlewizzle 1 point2 points ago

I don't play BF3 but I like the way you described that shit.

[–]hankwareagle 1 point2 points ago

haha thanks

[–]Kronicle 50 points51 points ago

I don't really die to these anymore since the top half is destructible. The light poles are a different story...

[–]JLeron 25 points26 points ago

I hate flying around in the helicopter and turning around only to hit the rear rotor against a freaking lamp post, whole shit hits the fan... either that, or I'm in a roll trying to hide from a jet in the woods and out of no where... fucking street lamp in the middle of the bridge (Caspian Border)

[–]RJLupin2 17 points18 points ago

You right, shit quite literally does hit the fan.

[–]buzzkill_aldrin 20 points21 points ago

I don't know whose idea it was, but you should let your city council know that lamps shouldn't be made of shit.

[–]brainpower4 7 points8 points ago

[–]Aticon 0 points1 point ago

Yes you are become death?

[–]joynt 1 point2 points ago

Well, the exact translation from the Bhagavad Gita, Ch. 11, Verse 32 (in Sanskrit) is up in the air.

The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you [the Pāṇḍavas], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain.

another...

I am terrible time the destroyer of all beings in all worlds, engaged to destroy all beings in this world; of those heroic soldiers presently situated in the opposing army, even without you none will be spared.

But Oppenheimer's version does sound cool.

[–]Aticon 0 points1 point ago

"I am become death, destroyer of worlds."

This is literally the archaic way of saying "I have become death[...]"

Other than that his version says the same thing.

[–]TerribleT-Bagger 29 points30 points ago

As someone who actually flies combat aircraft in the USAF in real life, I can tell you how dangerous these are in real life to us as well.

[–]RecursiveInfinity 18 points19 points ago

As a lamp post, I can tell you how destructive we are to jets.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

avenging your teamate, the gondola.

[–]petaboil 0 points1 point ago

what dya fly?

[–]TerribleT-Bagger 2 points3 points ago

I fly MC130s

[–]petaboil 0 points1 point ago

rather cool! surely thats classified as military aircraft, not combat aircraft?

not saying im right and you're wrong, im just interested :)

[–]TerribleT-Bagger 2 points3 points ago

I guess what I meant was that we often fly in combat and are subject to enemy fire quite often which forces us to fly insanely low at times (being a big slow C-130 and all) which is quite a different type of mission from your normal C-130s.

[–]petaboil 0 points1 point ago

that sounds damned awesome, sir!

What roles does the MC-130 undertake?

[–]TerribleT-Bagger 1 point2 points ago

The MC-130 is a special operations air lift and aerial refueling (for helicopters) and infiltration and exfiltration of special operations forces.

[–]BurntTheToast 1 point2 points ago

Badass plane. Me and the boys used to kinda make fun of how protected the flyboys were in those though.

[–]petaboil 1 point2 points ago

you make this sound more and more badass.

[–]mrpanafonic 0 points1 point ago

So what rank would that make you? ?

[–]Nopthebeast 1 point2 points ago

[–]specialk16 0 points1 point ago

That's so fucking cool. How did you get to pilot those things?

[–]mechabeast 0 points1 point ago

[–]mikethebike96 10 points11 points ago

Oh, you wanted to fly low and avoid fire? Hello, nice to meet you. I will be your source of rage this evening.

[–]SkinniestAnimal 2 points3 points ago

Oh, you want to try to help your team and destroy enemy's vehicles?

How about I don't appear until you're already dead?

[–]CitizenNone 11 points12 points ago

As a flightstick-using, flight-sim loving player, I love nothing more than having someone follow me into a slow death spiral around that pole. Sweet justice to watch them slam into the pole or if they manage to miss it they realize they are suddenly 50 feet from the ground and dead anyways.

[–]Infinitopolis 29 points30 points ago

"Follow me!" said the F-18 to the MiG, "Dance with me through the cables of fate."

[–]Semper_Vigilans 3 points4 points ago

It may have something to do with the seven vodka highballs, but this is officially my favourite comment.

[–]superatheist95 12 points13 points ago

As a flightstick using, flight sim loving person, the aircraft on BF3 make me want to smash my head into my tv.

[–]CitizenNone 2 points3 points ago

Well yes. I agree. But its enough to keep me entertained when playing with friends who bug me to play battlefield.

[–]petaboil 1 point2 points ago

as a pilot, i use bf3 as a way to relax after an hour or so of real flying.

[–]StreamOfThought 1 point2 points ago

As a keyboard using peasant, the greatest moment of my life was when I won an aerial duel against a flightstick-using, flight-sim loving friend in BF3.

[–]anduin1 1 point2 points ago

Personally I like maps like firestorm which has many tall pipes with spaces between them and turning the vehicle at the last second to pull through and have my opponent fly right into them because they failed to turn their plane quickly enough. Better than getting an actual kill.

[–]CitizenNone 1 point2 points ago

I was always a big fan of firestorm because it was so easy to fly close to the deck and disappear into the smoke ad distortion.

[–]Faps_in_reddit 6 points7 points ago

Not really a problem any more but oh god was it impossible to fly low due these

[–]EM12 1 point2 points ago

I guess that's why it was put there.

[–]pugface88 10 points11 points ago

Nobody's gonna point out that "destoyer" isn't a word?

[–]DrWatson21 8 points9 points ago

And that the original quote goes "I am become Death..." ?

Since Armored Kill came out, it's now trees that kill me all the time.

[–]iRawrz 2 points3 points ago

Rocket pods will easily take down a tree now. I use it to shake other pilots. Fly into an area with a lot of trees and use rocket pods to clear the way, the other pilot will usually try to follow and crash or will stop chasing.

[–]minorDemocritus 0 points1 point ago

Right, but when I'm turning hard, those fucking trees always appear out of nowhere.

[–]Darth_Hommus 6 points7 points ago

the reason i am only an infantry player now.

[–]-DASH- 8 points9 points ago

I swapped to strict infantry once I realized jets can just ram helicopters out of the sky at no loss to themselves.

[–]Frunzle 2 points3 points ago

And then your boat gets lifted out of the water by a jet...

[–]mctrigger 5 points6 points ago

once you learn how to fly properly, (i.e not sitting completely still in the air) you dont get rammed

[–]anduin1 2 points3 points ago

instead you get disabled with 1 AA rocket that comes from 3 directions, not mad at the changes but it's considerably harder to fly in AK and that patch that came with it

[–]DreadOfGrave 0 points1 point ago

it's manageable on an attack helicopter, but the poor little scout helicopters don't stand a chance now. :(

[–]Mchccjg12 1 point2 points ago

Scout choppers are, and always have been, screaming metal death traps. Now-a-days, almost any air vehicle besides a jet is a screaming metal death trap though due to jets. Flying a helicopter? Rammed. It's so much bullshit.

[–]anduin1 0 points1 point ago

I usually only get in the scout with a friend, both of us are engineers and we turn that little chopper into a kill mobile.

[–]mctrigger 0 points1 point ago

pretty stupid reason

[–]Darth_Hommus 2 points3 points ago

not really. i live infantry. vehicular gameplay si not for me, i dont care for it, it's not necessary to win and unless you have a full squad working together, no amount of tanks or helicopters are going to do more than i can on foot. plus. i prefer being agile and not having to worry about those fucking poles

[–]SteveTheDude 2 points3 points ago

The light poles are worse because, even on Ultra, they're too thin to really notice at high speeds.

[–]xVeterankillx 3 points4 points ago

[–]SamTheGeek 0 points1 point ago

We have a subreddit. Allow me to direct you to /r/battlefield3.

[–]sleepisajokeanyway 12 points13 points ago

Wait, battlefield isn't a game? I have been told lies all my life...

[–]Tipsymidget -1 points0 points ago

With a bit of luck and skill these can be avoided, a lot easier to dodge than missiles.

[–]CitizenNone 3 points4 points ago

what could be easier than dodging missiles in Battlefield? simply thrust hot and straight ahead, wait for the tone, crank they yaw and ailerons, missile overshoots you every time.

[–]NabroleonDynamite 3 points4 points ago

I have this game and I have no idea what you're talking about.

[–]DreadOfGrave 0 points1 point ago

dude. that was like 2 patches ago... that shit won't work anymore.

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

yea, it does. You just have to time it right.

[–]Tipsymidget 0 points1 point ago

[–]RawrCola 0 points1 point ago

You're a bit late on posting this. This was fixed long ago, if you still somehow get killed by these you should try flying a bit higher.

[–]kymikoloco 1 point2 points ago

Me and my brother were playing, being tank douches and just firing blindly into the side with the dirt airfield (ps3 version). It was down to the last 100 points on conquest, and that's when the thing falls.... Right on top of both of us.

Funniest 'Bad Luck' that ever happened to us.

[–]SilentTheTyrant 0 points1 point ago

They also don't render at a distance with some settings.

[–]iRawrz 1 point2 points ago

On Xbox they love to render when you are about 20 feet from them, gives you not so much time to react.

[–]Trollguy97 0 points1 point ago

True story!

[–]devedander 0 points1 point ago

Nah... just a midair pause and hover... then speed off

[–]ManofToast 0 points1 point ago

They are more effective at killing jets than heatseekers.

[–]CitizenNone 1 point2 points ago

Heatseekers are for people who can't fly. It's all about those guns. Nothing pisses a guy off more than a hail of rounds punching though their jet.

[–]OpticalData -1 points0 points ago

Heatseakers are great for harassing the enemy, nothing gets them not caring where you are more than a missile flying at them, at which point you can maneuver into a position to barrage them with the cannon.

They are for people who can fly.

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

But I can outfly most people without distracting them with missile tone. The goofballs all use flairs instread of air radar so they don't know where you are anyways and I do so enjoy shooting people down before they have any idea you were around. I honestly use cannons only for air to air engagements and do great. Plus, I think the air to ground missiles are fun to use.

[–]OpticalData 0 points1 point ago

I don't even use Air Radar, heat seakers and guided missile with beam scanning are incredibly deadly.

Flares take up a different slot to Air Radar...

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

They are only deadly against opponents who panic the second they hear tone. If you keep your cool you can outfly a missile lock, and even if they do get it off the missiles are pretty easy to dodge in this game. And on a personal note, after playing many combat flight sims, the flight and combat in this game gets a bit dull, so I find at least just using the cannons keeps it fun for me.

[–]OpticalData 1 point2 points ago

You can 9/10 times, depends on the skill of the pilot firing the missile, whether they got in a good firing position before firing.

It does, I have noticed that too. I put it down to there not being enough jets per map, having to fly about looking for a target most of the time isn't that fun.

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

Yea that's why I always load out the air to ground missiles to fill the time between the enemy jet respawns

[–]ManofToast 0 points1 point ago

I was referring to heat-seekers fired from AA and helicopters, not jets...

[–]synicalx1 0 points1 point ago

I should probably point out that these would also be a problem for low flying planes IRL. An allergy to tall, solid objects isn't exclusive to BF3....

[–]pierce81828 0 points1 point ago

I hate being in a dog fight, I break low and try to cut back quick to get behind the other jet and BAM! Frustrates me to no end.

[–]CitizenNone 2 points3 points ago

Breaking low isn't going to win you a dogfight. Airspeed and altitude win the day. Next time you're being chased hit the thrusters and first and foremost get some distance. Once once you hear the missile lock coming pull up hard and head straight vertical. This should put him slightly behind and inferior to your position and trying to match your climb. Keep your climb until you reach near stalling, then kill thrusters and yaw hard to the left or right. This will send you back towards the ground and hopefully cause your purseur to do one of two things, he will either not expect the turn and overshoot you completely, most likely resulting in a stall/blackout. In that case you can just come back around and pluck that sitting duck out of the sky. The other outcome is that he sees you start the turn and and he tries to match match you, however his position is going to cause him to come out of his turn at a lower altitude and practically in front of your nose. There is a name for this maneuver but it honestly escapes me at 5:30 in the AM

Should be written as "I am become death".

For those that don't know it's a take on a quote from J. Robert Oppenheimer when they were testing nuclear missiles. The actual quote is "Now, I am become death, destroyer of worlds"

[–]d3m0n0gr4ph1c -1 points0 points ago

Before the update I would ride my MAV up on light poles with a silenced sniper rifle.

[–]_CitizenSnips_ 1 point2 points ago

FUCK THOSE THINGS

[–]brainpower4 1 point2 points ago

Since they changed the break off point, those aren't too bad. They are really visible, straight up, and generally not all that hard to fly over. Now street lights on the other hand are awful. They are much skinnier, especially if you are flying parallel to the arm with the light. It is super easy to misjudge how far out the light extends coming from that angle and end up clipping the light. Worst of all, they drastically reduce the flyable area along roads, which is a pretty big deal on maps like karg where there is precious little cover and traveling fast and low around buildings is the only way to avoid getting ripped apart by stingers.

[–]edude45 0 points1 point ago

I think you mean the little flimsy trees... those antenna towers are nothing compared to those damn trees.

[–]dwardu 0 points1 point ago

i use the trees to my advantage, if you hit them with the bottom of the jet, it used to push me up higher in the air. i havent played bf3 in a while, so i am not sure if they fixed it.

[–]Zooperman 0 points1 point ago

[–]assangeleakinglol 0 points1 point ago

I actually have no problems with structures. I can navigate the airplane just fine. The problem is that I can't hit shit with my machine gun.

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

Lead your target, never fire when turning. Altitude and airspeed. Instead of flying low and engaging in a fair fight fly high, scan for your taret and dive on it fast. Approaching the enemy aircraft from above presents you with much wider target to fire upon as opposed to coming at it from behind.

[–]T-101xPiroxyne 0 points1 point ago

You have to be pretty thick to hit that with a jet... In my entire year of playing this game, I've honestly never seen that happen.

[–]Panzergraf 0 points1 point ago

same in BF 1943 .. f*ing Antennas

[–]alligatorfight 0 points1 point ago

I'm in the beta for Planetside 2, and they haven't quite perfected the hitboxes on aircraft, so it's possible to crash a gunship about 10m above the ground.

[–]paintballnwb 0 points1 point ago

what is your jet/helo layout?

[–]CitizenNone 0 points1 point ago

In the jets I usually loadout with Air Radar, because knowledge is power. Extinguisher, not as good as it used to be but still gets the jobs done, and if I'm playing with friends I'll use guided missiles and If not I'll usually go rocket pods.

That one moment...when you hear the 'kk-ping!' and your aircraft screeches at a 90 degree angle. And then all you can possibly do is...reach out...brush the photo of your wife taped to the cockpit window with your gloved fingers, fight the g-forces with all you've got so you can look into her eyes one last time. Even though deep down, you know she's long since forgotten about you.

Then a concussive force helps you greet the darkness.

This is old, it now breaks. Light posts are the ones who kill aircraft easily

I wish more things could be destroyed in this game, like they were in battlefield 2

But then you reach a point where they stop anyone following you, its good to be a Battlefield vet.

The trees in the one new snow map on the mountain, forget what it's called, are even worse. It's like, trees in the other maps were pretty chill. Sometimes they'd kill you but a lot of times you could skim treetops and be ok. But if you even get close a branch in that snow map: blammo, you're dead.

These and the trees in GTA4, constantly ruining my fun 'go fast' time.

What I hate are the damn trees when flying a chopper, I get that if you barreled right into the middle of a tree it would be enough to destabilize a chopper to the point of crashing but what I don't get how grazing the top of a tree, which tends to be very flexible and which would bend if pressed against by a multi ton machine, has the power to completely turn your vehicle upside down.
