-Shifty-

Anybody can fly low, but with an AV8B (Using Mk.82s) how can you bomb the sucker? You would have to pass over him, then lock, then use Hydras and hope you don't miss. The bomb falls to fast and it would slaughter me. Another annoying thing is if you want to bomb a town you have to fly over it low so they spawn in first. Then they only last so long.

Actually it goes out to 3050m, I checked. The only time I spotted him I quit the silly crap and sent TUSKs at him. The guy would lock onto them way before my men even detected them, even my commander radar didn't detect him but somehow he found me. I lost 3 TUSKs to him. AFAIK the M1A2 TUSK can take just about anything (Without the crew being harmed, but the vehicle is FUBAR), but in this game it turns out the Tungusta, a cheap, lightly protected AA vehicle is the worlds uber machine that can lock onto anything.

So what is enough? Going in with a tank? No the stupid Tunguska can lock onto tanks from far away with it's missles, which are AA... Then I tried on foot. Well no guess what he's got an ub3r big gun. You simply cannot kill this *****. I've never had this problem before and I hope it never happens again.

Well, I just tried again. I was flying @ 4200m and I was still shot down by enemy anti air. Particularly that same *****. I'm on a server right now and I don't know what to do, I really wish I could join a clan that had proper well organized battles. *Sigh*, if only I could find a good EU clan.

Just thought I would show you guys a good way to have an autonomous artillery battery to support you during your attacks. These are crap pictures because xfire doesn't seem to work in-game, so I used my 8.1 megapixel cellphone camera to take these. Right so 5 steps. 1 - Buy MLRS artillery with gunners only. 2 - Park them in a neat line, exit than lock. 3 - Buy the same amount of ammo trucks. 4 - Park them in between the MLRSs. 5 - Flatten a town for fun. I would fly around in an Osprey and spot targets, than mark them on the map and drop artillery on them. The highest count of kills I racked up in one strike was 23 infantry kills. You can do this same set-up with the Russian artillery trucks (Grad). This is an excellent way to rack up tons of money and clear entire towns for your team. When you have such a huge amount of artillery dropping on a town it's amazing the damage it does. Afterward you can carelessly walk in and capture it. Hope this help solve your reloading issues. The trucks automatically reload the MLRSs.

Check out my AA overpowered thread. I just wasted a 3h afternoon. I can't believe I've been so pissed.

It just wouldn't work janster01. First of all, I only use the HMMWV M240 w/ 2x rifleman 1 SMAW 1 SMAW and 1 Corpsman. I can capture towns this way and it's lots of fun. Sometimes I use artillery support though. It just wouldn't work properly if people didn't have vehicles at a cheap price, especially when the AI is amazing and you can't stand a chance against them with a standard rifle. They just immediately headshot you if you barely stick your head at. My favorite tactic is to buy an MV22, 10 men and parachute them from 1000m into a town :D It's so fun! There will always be some annoying person who will TK the expensive jet, or do something of the sort. It just won't work.

I don't get your guys' problem with my technique. The U.S. used tons of these lined up in the same way during the Gulf War. 6 MLRSs is not overkill. I had 5 M119s yesterday and I would sit on that hill in Lopatino and spot targets. Got like 19 kills in one strike. Then we waited for 2 more. It took 3 artillery strikes to clear the village. Not that there was much left of it.

You need to go into option\commanding\special. Then you hit the "Set" button and click on the little map next to it. This is where the artillery will fall. Now you can adjust the bar next to it, and you'll see the red circle get bigger. This means the artillery won't be as precise. The bigger the circle the more artillery units you want. Because they'll only fire 5-6 rounds. Except 5 x 6 is 30 :D and that's what I watched literally flatten Gorka.

Well think about it, it's easier to see a big helicopter hovering over a village than a little guy with a stinger in a village. So they see and shoot at you before you see and shoot them. Same with the plane, the plane probably was flying very high or low and came at you fast.

I just tried this yesterday (before reading what you said). It's just evil, I would sit on a hill, take out the MGs then the BMPs then the infantry then I'd walk in all casual like. I use a motorcycle for transportation. What's nice about the HMMWV (if you're good and you know you won't lose it) is you can put extra Javelin rounds in the truck along with extra ammo. Very practical.

Hey folks, I only play Warfare, and it's always on the Blufor team. So the tactic I always do doesn't seem to work too well and I can't think of anything else. Here's my load out and what I always do: M16A4 w/ Red dot with 6 mags and 3 frags + rifleman corpsman rifleman (smaw) automatic rifleman (m249) I drive around in an M240 HMMWV. I always travel so I end up on the high ground when attacking a village and not facing the MG pillboxes. Then I park the HMMWV and leave the (expendable) rifleman on the M240 facing the village. What I really need them to do, is HOLD THEIR GROUND and shoot at what I tell them. Not run off like headless chickens. Usually I have them spread out in a good line behind the HMMWV and they always rape all the enemy infantry. But I can never get past the armor, they always get me every time. I've tried so many other things and it never works. Aren't there any good guides or Youtube videos out there?

Nice stuff walker but this isn't real war as that's how I'd do it. This is a PC game. SupperSiggi how do you use teams? In ArmA it was easy just use SPACE then mouse wheel onto the teams color and there you go. Haven't figured it out here yet.

I lost some amazing games. I had my typical set up, rifleman x 2 (1 being me), SMAW, SAW and a corpsman all in an M240 HMMWV. I always play Warfare. We were at Grishino overlooking the town from hill South-West. Then out of nowhere comes this T72. Thank God my fire team and I were out of the vehicle and using it for cover. As I was typing in "HAAAAAALP" in the text I saw this one guy who had bought an MTVR with like 10 guys in it stop, they all got out and they started engaging the T72. I also had my SMAW out and just as I was about to hit the trigger I see it turn into a blazing fire. Then, receiving... Or this other time the game just restarted and we were assaulting this village (Petrovka) and we watched the AI moving in getting mowed down. I flanked and pick the suckers off with the M16A2. Then when we took it we had no transport so we just sat there. I then noticed a HMMWV ambulance and we all took it and went for Grishino. After a close call with an MG bunker we got into the village. Just as the capture bar was almost finished... ...receiving

When is 1.05 releasing? Oh and Arrowhead as well ! I tried setting the graphic video memory on default, and high. Nothing has helped so far. I'm using a GTX260 core 216 which I OCed. It has 896MBs of video memory.

I'm still getting this issue. Is there any fix to it, or any particular way to install the game with an order in patch installing to make it work?

Fixed Yeah I get carried away. Especially when I waste hours on this issue. I'll go check out that "Beta" thing. I was just in a game and I asked some people about this issue and they said it had something to do with connection. Thanks anyway

Yeah I have 1.04 and I still have the problem. I think you need to install it from scratch, and not have a beta patch in the middle somewhere. I just lost FIVE games and at least 3 hours because of this.

I don't think so. Should I reinstall and use the latest patch?

So how the hell do we fix this? BIS don't you ever come in and help? This is a very annoying issue. If you forget to do the FLUSH command you just can't play. It's a prick. Nice name Shifty-AFC... copy cat ;)

So can anybody help? Doing the Shift and MINUS then F L U S H works but it's annoying doing it every 5 minutes to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Well I found a fix. I left everything the way it was and every couple minutes I hit Shift + Num. Pad "Minus" then F L U S H as mentioned earlier. The problem hasn't occurred once and I play all the time on MP warfare. So thank you so much for that code!

Just a shame, this is a great game (For once, ArmA was dog crap tbh) I'm just trying to translate everything TCP told me. I'll try the Flush thing first.

Well I've never let it go for more then 20 seconds. What happens is it's 'receiving' then flashes and goes back to 'receiving'. it's a shame, it's ruined countless games, including just now what I had a nice big squad attacking a town.

Please somebody help me, I just reinstalled and I keep getting it! Basically it says receiving, then the screen goes black, then it says receiving again, and it continues over and over and doesn't stop!
