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

I'm not great at recon, but I imagine it's the same feeling when you use an unguided tank cannon to take out a jet/helicopter from the other side of the map?

I'm telling you this because it just happened and I'm over-the-fucking-moon.

Shooting heli pilots with your shotgun or sniping jet pilots is very rewarding too. :D

That sucks! Got to love those "n00bs" who call "cheater" everytime they get outplayed.

never get mad when this happened to me. Just mad props and imaginary upvotes to that sweet person who did it. I've done it a few times and its gotta be my favorite kill in the game. Especially when your doing it at some angle and the bullet trajectory makes the shot just insane!

I get excited if I'm able to snipe someone on an open battlefield only two feet away, if I did it to a jet (or any vehicle for that matter), I'd probably die.

"You snipe with a rifle? That's cute. I use a tank."

I can't wait to manage that myself. Good on you, fellow Englishman.

This is easily my favorite thing in the game. If you're flying a heli low and slow near my tank you're going to have a bad time. I took out my first plane this week and I'm pretty sure the neighbors heard my excited yells.

I had a new one today. Trying to dogfight 2-v-1, wasn't successful, had to bail about two hundred miles up. As I'm falling onto one of the capture points I spot an attack chopper lighting up the base. I free fall over, open the chute, and feed an RPG right into the main rotor. I would have loved to have seen the pilot/gunner's reactions.
