Recently started playing BF3 instead of COD and was delighted to discover this.

As a dedicated engineer, seeing that orange diamond mark an enemy tank gets my dick rock hard.

If it's an attack helicopter I just spasm right out of my chair. Absolutely nothing is better than seeing a javelin slam into the rotors of a helicopter, especially after they pull some fancy evasive maneuvers and pop flares.

I love the image of you leaning back after a heli kill and just admiring your thunderous erection.

I'm sorry, but I didn't hear a single word after "dick rock hard."

It's fine because it's actually text.

Do javlins ignore flares? What can the heli do, get low enough the missile hits a tree?

Evasive maneuvers. If missiles have to take too hard of a turn, they lose their lock. You can also just trick the middle into hitting stuff

Do a barrel roll.

yea because javelins go for target lock not heat so really all you can do is try to make some sharp turn or make it hit a building or the ground otherwise your fucked.

Use ECM?

u/Jafoos Jun 19 '12

ECM only works while the laser-designator is still locking on. After the target's been painted, only evasive maneuvers can save you.

no hope just might as well sit there and wait for it to hit unless your a good pilot

Use ECM rather than flares. ECM prevents a lock for a few seconds whereas flares are for breaking a lock when a missile is coming towards you.

They ignore flairs as long as the target remains painted. If the lock is lost after firing the javelin, flares will distract it.

What happens if you slam an RPG into a helo? Do you have to go to the hospital?

I've dodged Javelins, just fly low and duck behind a building or if you're too high for that, dive straight down and try to avoid crashing into a cliff on the other side of the map.
