I like to fight matches from behind the controls of any sort of vehicle, it's what Im experienced at, where my perks are, and that along with the engineer class is where I've focused this time around. My best kills were both on the same server. and Kharg island.
Vehicle: T-90 MBT
Weapon: main cannon
Killed: AH-6 "littlebird"
How? I was rolling through the streets of Kharg island, returning to base after a little unscrupulous fun over at the enemy base. I was well up for the evening, having engaged in several fun tank V tank engagements and won all but two, and in both having been able to beat a retreat and return for revenge. I was rolling back to base, when a Littlebird swung out from behind a building, the pilot obviously inexperienced, but zealous and able to take me out. I shouted at my gunner "LITTLEBIRD! 12'! KILL HIIIMM!!!!!!!!!!!' and then realise my gunner had gotten out. With just my coax, I fired on the littlebird, which swerved, misguidedly thinking my 7x58 coax could even hurt him, and swung in low to strafe me."Alright you whirly bastard" I thought "come and get it!' he flew right at me, and I drove right at him, cresting a berm and bringing my cannon up, the chopper was about 20 metres away, and I decided I was going to go all or nothing, so I swapped to the main gun, aimed high, and fired. The shot missed but the littlebird paniced and whirred away towards the RU base. But he stayed low.I revved up the tank and cruised after him, and caught up to him when he stopped to strafe the warehouse spawn. This time there was no escape, and even though he saw me and tried to dodge, my cannon round hit him squarely in the cockpit at about 290 metres long and 40 high.
Vehicle: RU ADATS "tunguska-M"
Weapon: flak
Killed: US ADATS "Striker AA"
How? I'd been sitting on the hill on Kharg island, later in the same day as I'd nailed the helo with a T90, merrily popping helos with my missiles and engaging the jets dogfighting overhead. AA is extremely effective in BF3, and their helo pilot was a helpless ragey childish little git. I killed him again and again, he seemed to think you simply needed to pop flares to evade missiles, but the Tunguska was too well designed for that, and I shot him down again and again with my missiles. In a white hot rage, he accused me of hax. I accused him of being a ragemonster. He said he was going to kill me. I said he was going to get shot down again. He said AA was OP. I said cookies where delicious. Some minutes later I heard the pitterpatter of shells on my armour and turned my turret around to see an amazing thing: him charging up the hill like the Light Brigade in the USA AA gun. Lawdy-oh, some people can't take a hint! I thought.He rushed straight at me, too angry to use his brain. I fired back, but rolled back and hull down, forcing him to shoot at my turret as he struggled over the rough ground. he had fired first, and was about to knock me out when I bailed out. He kept firing, disabling my ADATS but it was too late.
I slipped down the hill to his own disabled ADATs, drew my RPG, and blew it up. From the fire he charged out, shooting wildly at me with an M-93r Raffica, I calmly drew my MP-412 REx and headshot him. He said he was going to report me for aimbotting and left the server. I went back up the hill and repaired my AA gun, whistling.
