    Just one more way for me to peg out, and I haven’t experienced this one yet…..wouldn’t get too hot and bothered about trying to police it though.

    I would welcome the challenge of sneaking up on him and stabbing him right in the cunting throat !!!

    You can’t sneak up on him because he’s on the carrier and as doc aludes to, try and kill someone within a spawn area on an xdc server and be preparres for wrath. I actually agree with doc almost 100%, but I was also on the receiving end of this flak today in the most random positions on canals. I didn’t die but the us side having a minigun that covers a large proportion of the map is ridiculosly poor map design.

    I’m still taking beer’s side on this (how can I disagree with beer?) .

    I had a couple of go’s in the AA on this map the other night (before seeing this post) in one match I think I got 3 kills thanks to planes flying very close , at range the weopon is not very accurate and just so long as you keep moving about in your air vehicles it is very hard to shoot anything down , the indestructibility would be the only issue I would have with it.

    Keep an eye on this issue guys because the aa has just got a buff versus infantry and for the firsr time tonight I suffered a death to the aa which I had no chance against. It used to be that you’d feel being shot a few times and at least have time to react to it, but this evenung I was killed by it inside a second. I’m trying to resist the temptation of coming down strongly on the ban him side of the argument as I was at the crane near point A which is exposed and directly inthe line of sight of the carrier, but it felt powerful.

    It can be killed now. a guided takes it down to 25%. Pops back up in 30 secs or so tho

    bullshit, 1 shotted just after I respawn at C. too powerful against infantry, it can be destroyed now, but try getting a pilot not on ts to hover out of range whilst you take two shots!

    Reckon we should take it out of the rotation till they get it sorted.

    Tell people they are not allowed to kill ground targets with it. Anyone that does gets insta kicked. I like the map would be a bloody shame to loose it.
    Could always put a server message up on a timer or something (i dont know how it works) saying that people in static aaa that fire upon ground targets will be kicked instantly or something

    It is probably an advantage to have someone on the opposing team sitting in it they wont get many kills like that anyway and certainly wont be capping flags for their team .

    Spot on.

    Wolf gets killed by it once and he wants to ban the whole map?

    Dont get involved in this crap… I have never been killed by it… I have never been near anyone killed by it.

    If I am killed by it I will just suck it up.

    Just get on with your game.

    I’m sure I posted a reply before, but it seems to have gone awol.

    I’m going to pu this in point form, I think it’s fairly obvious that I’ve played the map a fair few times now so it’s not just based upon on incident Doc.

    1) The map is fundamentally unbalanced to start with given that the RU don’t have any AA

    2) The AA covers too much of the map

    3) The AA has been buffed against infantry

    4) It annoyed me before with infantry but I had never been killed by it as infantry, never been hit at C before.

    5) post patch the AA has become destructible (yay) but it’s bloody hard to kill it unless you’re in a heli with someone you know

    6) I’m not going to play this map until they sort it out, I suggested removing it from the server, not banning it.

    7) For the foreseeable future I’ll be off playing on Hardcore servers anyway.
