The tanks are fine now. They were just way too powerful before the patch, taking them out required too much resources, usually resulting in the asshat camping inside just hoping out and repairing the tank before you could fully destroy it.

This must be your first ever BF game, rofl!

tanks are meant to be like that. THEY'RE TANKS.

Develop some skill on trashing them. I always snuck up on them and planted c4.

sounds like you were mad about tanks because your noob camping rpging wouldnt take them out.

Them intentionally making tanks weaker for RPG noobs is just as lame as them making unlocks available to any noob with some cash.

ruins the entire point.

No actually the problem was that people camped the tanks the entire round and would have a hoard of engineers follow them around the whole match. And then they would end with 94 kills and 2 deaths. It was damn near impossible for even 3 people with RPGs to stop a tank if it had engineers hiding next to it.

It was frustrating for the people that wanted to drive the tank but couldn't since their teammate camped it the whole match. And it was frustrating to the other team that either had to spend all their time avoiding the tank, or spending all match trying to kill it and failing at such.

haha, thats not a problem with the tanks, that a problem with the players. There is a reason they are looked upon as "rpg noobs", because they are.

a group of idiots following a tank, and for some reason cant kill it (even though i've never had a problem with being killed, or killing one), but continue following it, and then get mad when the tank has like 50 kills at the end of the round? lol

Once again, you make another post based upon some extreme exaggeration.

Yeah you must be right... Dice just dumbed down the tanks for no reason, right? Of course it's an extreme exaggeration... There's only hundreds of people complaining about it on the forums. I guess that doesn't mean much...

oh yeah, a few people complaining/crying in the forums instead of playin the game with the many more others who enjoy it/have skill... proves a point.. but im not sure if its the one you're tryin to prove.

No, not just a few... Why do you think this issue got noticed? It was a big problem.

Plus in real life, it doesn't take 5 rpgs to disable a tank. It takes 1...

And yes, I know it's a game, but there's no reason to make it OP.

IMO, the tank patch will be nice on the Xbox. There were some maps (especially in Rush) where you just couldn't get enough saturation to take out a tank easily, especially if the server wasn't full, or if the teams were stacked.

They'll still be powerful in the right hands. They'll be rolling death traps in the hands of noobs, but that's true of all the vehicles.

Do you people realise that there are tanks on the other team as well? You could take a tank down easy with a tank and an 'RPG noob' hiding around the corner, kill the repairer and you are pretty much set.

If the half a team has engineers following a tank around, you should win easily, split up, take all the flags and stay away from the tank.

@ C4 planting -

When suddenly- 'Hold 'R' to pick up'.

Wat?

I can't comment on how the tanks are now as the 360 still hasn't got the patch :angry: and maybe its different on the 360 as there are less players...but this isn't always true in RUSH (CQ yes) but in rush there are some maps that only have an attacking tank or if both have a tank attach also has an IFV...so its not always balanced.

I'm only starting to play Rush so I really can't comment there. Would I be right in saying tanks needed a bit of a nerf on console as there are less players?

Urm 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other...it really depends on situation...

I can quite happily take out just a tank by myself...sneak round the back, 1/2 hit disable, 2/3 for the kill.

Other times when there are 2 engineers out the back and the tank is in a good position that I can/have trouble flanking then it can be incredibly hard...in that case the fewer player does make a difference and I'll normally just run or get the rest of my squad to help....

I think in a way that's what it comes down to...BF is meant to be a squad and team based game...and if you don't work as a squad then yeah tanks seem overpowered...have a squad take on a tank it'll go down 99% of the time...

I'll give my proper views once I've played with the patch...

I think you'll dislike the patch as well, only takes a couple hits from the rpgs now, but its still hilarious, because the engineers are now more daring thinking they can easily take the tanks out (which they can, but they still are without skill), so they hide less, and i seem to be killing more of them :p

Only thing that really annoys me now is it seems jets and heli's can easily take tanks out as well, But i'll overcome it and find ways around it, rather than crying in the forums like some here do til they change it and make it sillier :whistle:

you back up what you say? with what? when? I've never seen it. Such as your ignorant tank claim. Back it up.

Your stats certainly dont back it up ;) http://bf3stats.com/.../johnblaze00#pc (0 time spent in tanks) and wow only 6 hours in the game total, my bad, you're an expert.

I thought Dirty Larry's post was entertaining, certainly not boring. You're just upset that a mod called you out ;)

you just mad cause you a tank ###### too. i just called him out too, but you don't know anything about that. you don't need to spend a million hours in a tank to think camping in a tank is stupid... play ANY battlefield game. i hate vehicles in MP FPS.

i hate vehicles in MP FPS.

Just out of curiosity why are you playing BF3 then...one of its biggest features and selling point over other FPS's is vehicles... Surely CoD would be a better choice for you.

And If you want to play BF for other reasons such as graphics quality or friends playing it then just play the infantry only servers...its even an option in the server filter to make it easy for you...

Stop whining you baby.

A squad can take out a tank pre-patch with no problems. It's called team work. If you've got C4 to hand then you can take it out alone with one big bang.

If a tank has a fleet of engineers repairing it then good on them, you need to take out the engineers before taking out the tank. An engineers job is to be an engineer! :rolleyes:

Then why do you post in this topic if you dont even play bf3 and have no idea what you're talking about?

I dont post in the justin bieber topic cuz i never listen to him, and dunno anything about him, besides that i know i probably wouldnt like him. SO I DONT BOTHER POSTING ;)

And no you ddint call dirty harry out, you posted alot of gibberish as you usually do.

i played last night for like 2-3 hours last night... and just because you don't understand what i said to him, doesn't mean he doesn't.

i love how easy you guys get your panties in a bunch.

Can we just drop all the bickering about the tanks? If he wants to continue flaming away let him, at this point it's clear he's only doing it to get reactions out of people. We had relatively flame free discussion going on in here until 2 or 3 days ago.

Add a dash of rajputwarrior to the pot and it all goes sour.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
