Attack jet. Nosegun only. Go tank/boat hunting. Works wonders against enemy aircraft as well. Since you strafe ground targets you can grab the AA heatseekers as secondary as insurance if you wish.

*71-75 or something like that in Rush in BF4. I'm wonder when I hit the cap in stars for that...

Mobile spawn point that the attackers can use to spawn near the MCOMs instead of having to keep base jumping when their squad is wiped.
Defenders spawned much more closer to the MCOMs than the attackers did on that set, helicopters balanced that out by giving the attackers a closer spawn point if they were able to keep them up and not die to stingers/enemy heli. Pretty sure that's the rational for having them for that set.

It seems like once I finally get in range to actually see a tank or a boat, I'm way too close to the ground to get out more than a small burst of fire, or else I'll crash easy.
They were for sale on EU PSN for a while, for 0.99, 1,99, 2.99 (bronze through gold), along with server renting options.
Spam spotting. Hope that your teammates do it or ask them (I do it often). While you're jetting away after an attack remember you can look around and spot potential targets. The icon should stay on them long enough for you to turn and align yourself for a strafing attack.
You have to aim a bit lower than the spotted icon to hit. Also, in the case of boats, look for their trail in the water.
Ha! Did they delist them when the state of the game became apparent? I wonder if they will relaunch when they start selling shortcuts.
Yeah they were taken down, I'm positive they'll make a return at some point.
Took some screens of the store listings when they were active:

SKS or SVD. Red Dots and Holo sights with grips.

Are you trying to get the jet fighter ribbons for CR?
Yeah. I'll just use helicopters for anything else aircraft related.

OK here is what I did, and I am terrible at jets. See if it works for you.
Equip and use the laser guided missiles (You may have to unlock it for the jets, just cap flags in AS), fly high and slow whilst targeting, but you will have to accept that it is going to mind numbingly boring.
Occasionally, you will be targeted by other jets, just fly lower and air brake to lose them.
The AA may also get you, in which case just be patient in the spawn screen, and hover over the jet selection box.
Lastly, play only the CR maps, Silk rd is a GOLDMINE, especially for easy bike targets, Altai is also great.
When I decided to do this, I needed two JF ribbons I already fluked one, I got the two in six games. In 3 out of the 6 games, I got 4 kills, in 1 I got 8 kills.
So if you want try the above.

My friend said he just missed a jet roadkill so I figured I'd go for it since I was right behind him.
Turned out better than expected. I don't fly jets so I thought it was funny. Nothing to see here if you're a seasoned pilot.

Stupid questions but are there LAVs without a gun in the second seat? I entered one a few times and could only use thermal vision but I had no gun to use? Leaving and entering again didn't fix that. Or did I simply miss something? I don't drive that often.

it's a bug. Should have been fixed with today's patch. Second seat in the LAV is always a LMG.
Thats a performance "increase".
Nice, thanks for the info; I will try this today.
Another idea for the jet ribbons from someone who sucks in jets:
Going after the attack boats on Paracel is probably the easiest way to get this done, as there are usually at least two people in them (if not more) and they tend to stay relatively still around flags. But, since that doesn't seem to be your thing, maybe try playing air superiority in third person. This doesn't really work that well for the attack jets in my experience, but it's very easy to track the stealth jet's main cannon and stay aware of your surroundings/on target this way.

I want the weapon/vehicle/grenade rebalance patch already.
Rubber banding won't be fixed until BF4 gets an increased tickrate, there's an inherent 100ms delay on actions, same as in BF3 and BFBC before it. I doubt something that fundamental will change with this game iteration.

Im cool with delay/lag, but the rubber banding issues goes beyond the server 10 hz tickrate.
There were a couple of weeks after a patch that the netcode was godlike for me... then it 'broke' again.
It's nuts, it must be a really hard sync issue to fix.
In fact they shouldnt put it in the change list, they put that kind of stuff instead of "Yo, the emblems are working now!"

word.
Though I have to admit, I thought the previous patch had done some of the changes, and the placebo effect got me on the attack chopper. My zunis and gunner seat felt better the past week or two.
There is gonna be a rebalance patch? Any news on what it will do?
Some of my wishes:
-Make flashbangs more effective.
-Add global cooldown on all tank shells, switching between Sabot and Staff shells are way too powerful in tank to tank combat.
-Make flashbangs more effective!
-If repairing a scout/transport helicopter while inside it is still as powerful as it was before, nerf that.
well... it fixes 2 of the bugs introduced in the last patch.
I believe its more of a hotfix than a full patch.

I'd love to know why the rubberbanding is getting worse. I had issues on Golmud last ngiht which I've almost not ever seen since the game launched.
Truth. AC-130 hull is made out of recycled soda cans.easiest jet ribbons = play a game where the enemy commander keeps spawning the AC-130

Fixing a crash bug a bunch of people were running into (that would also eliminate gunner weapons for a chunk more) seems important to me.
I always wanted to see the grass.
Except they introduced that bug in the last patch...
chrominance
Member
Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean I DON'T want them to fix it. It's still an important fix.
Very true, its just funny their one major fix is only fixing they just added lol
Yeah, I've been using the laser guided missile. I don't know how to airbrake though.

It must suuuuuuuuck to be a DICE employee working on this game right now :/
Trying to fix a broken mess of a game that has issues deep within the engine itself it seems, Bethesda Skyrim PS3 -style.
All fans raging 24/7 all about different issues and surely EA pressuring them to do it yesterday already. Within all that trying to find time to properly test the updated versions? Jeez...
They should just completely disable being able to repair while in flight, in my opinion. Same goes for the other vehicles.
Yeah, im glad they rejected my application.....
No im not, i was hype at the time i sent it
