BF3 patch notes

[fittyman]

So, some patch notes.

-Increased the inaccuracy and recoil added when a player is fully suppressed.
-Shotgun Buck and Flechette rounds now have a less suppressive effect at medium to long range.
-Increased the effectiveness of Suppression Resist Specialization.
-Parachutes now respond to turn and throttle inputs more quickly.
-Switching from primary weapons to side arms and back now takes less time.
-Tweaked bipod deploy settings so players can no longer deploy a bipod in places higher than chin level.

Vehcicle fixes

-Unguided tank rounds and RPGs will now instantly destroy Jets, Attack Helicopters, and Scout Helicopters.
-Increased the damage the MBT's primary weapon does to the front and side armor of other main battle tanks. Primarily this means 1 less shot to the front, and very good hits to the side can result in a 1 hit to disable.
-Slightly reduced the repair speed of the repair tool.
-Javelin missiles fired without Laser targeting now do more damage to the side and rear of MBTs.
-Laser Guided missiles can now be distracted by Flares.
-Increased the locking distance for AGM Missiles for Jets when locking on laser designated targets.
-Reduced the locking time for the AGM Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against ground targets.
-Reduced the locking time for AA Missiles for Jets to make them more viable against air targets.
-Flares will no longer break the lock of a vehicle that is locked on, it will only distract the missiles.
-Flares now more reliably distract missiles, especially for Helicopters.
-Flares for Jets and Choppers now reload at 11 seconds again, except for the gunner, which remains unchanged at 20sec.
--The IGLA and Stinger now lock on much more quickly and disable an attack aircraft in 1 hit, but have significantly reduced range. This should allow Stingers to mount an effective close range point defense, without dominating an entire airspace.

Nothing like confusing that missile, that is being laser designated, with heat counter-measures.


Right?

You would not even get a lockon-signal when a Soflam or a CITV station would laser you - they don't lock onto you with radar. Also - heatseekers do not generate lock-on signals either. It is a break of realism for the sake of gameplay. But...flaring away laserguided missiles... wow. So you do not even have to decide if you want to defent against locking/javelins or against heatseekers. Please, give us less responsibility about our equipment.

The stinger got a hughe boost tho so that kinda makes up for it i guess

-Guided Rockets will now only track ground targets, as originally intended.

Didnt even see that...but ok....fine -.-. Pffffff!!

-Flares will no longer break the lock of a vehicle that is locked on, it will only distract the missiles.

You guys missed this, it's actually a big nerf for flares - you can wait for them to flare and immediately refire without having to lock on again.

Click on the link in the op thats the full list
And not totally nerfed cause
- Disabled vehicles now have an increased reverse speed to help escape to cover after being disabled.
-The IGLA and Stinger now lock on much more quickly and disable an attack aircraft in 1 hit, but have significantly reduced range. This should allow Stingers to mount an effective close range point defense, without dominating an entire airspace.
-Below Radar will now also prevent the lock on of Stinger and IGLA missiles.
