For Those who Play Battlefield 3

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

Kronicle · 1 month

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

if only america used tall structures to stop enemy aircraft.

I love how they are invisible until you high five them.

How hard is it to adapt the quote properly...

It should have been: "I am become death, the destroyer of aircrafts"

TerribleT-Bagger · 1 month

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.

mikethebike96 · 1 month

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

CitizenNone · 1 month

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.

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

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

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

RawrCola · 1 month

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 month

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.

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

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

ManofToast · 1 month

They are more effective at killing jets than heatseekers.

synicalx1 · 1 month

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 · 1 month

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.

Borntowheep · 1 month

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 month

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

_CitizenSnips_ · 1 month

FUCK THOSE THINGS

brainpower4 · 1 month

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 · 1 month

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

Zooperman · 1 month

flying by these is hard to do....

excessdenied · 1 month

I was hit mid air by the falling tower on Caspian Border when flying a jet. That felt pretty stupid.

sparkles90 · 1 month

Apparently I'm the only one who noticed "Destoyer" Not "Destroyer". Am I even on Reddit anymore?

I like to tell people that it was premium that made me stop playing BF3, in actuality it was probably just rage after crashing my helicopter into these things so many times.

Actually these don't destroy aircraft anymore, most choppers and sometimes jets just knock them down.

assangeleakinglol · 1 month

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.

T-101xPiroxyne · 1 month

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 · 1 month

same in BF 1943 .. f*ing Antennas

alligatorfight · 1 month

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.

pancakesammich · 1 month

What I really love is how they render at the very last second.

shutUPandPLAY · 1 month

On a related topic, how the fuck are people so good with the jets using a keyboard & mouse. I feel like I need to dust off the old joystick just to keep up.

BennyFresh · 1 month

You spelled 'destroyer' wrong.

icehole800 · 1 month

When I first started getting confident in flying choppers I would just cruise the streets flying really low and then next thing you know "SHIT FUCK GOD DAMNIT WHAT THE............"

I force myself to break off the tops of all of them whenever I fly a chopper. Used to be for fun but now my OCD completionistness has taken over, so I MUST DESTROY THEM ALL.

Panau's plenty of those, only you can destroy them. Either by explosions or by cutting the cables that tether it to the ground with chopper blades (or any ordinary fire from foot too).

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.

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

raskolnikov- · 1 month

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.

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.

I was going to play battlefield 3, but at the moment I waiting for the 4th gigabyte sized update to download ಠ_ಠ
