BATTLEFIELD 3

I swear by my proximity scan, zoom optics and coaxial LMG. I have come across players who now use reactive armour, canister shell and guided shell as part of their armament. Then, I had no problem hitting tanks head-to-head because the only perk that can kill was auto-loader. Now, I have to run off-course, zoom in and take out their reactive armour before the real damage is done. Of course, you will have to get your bearings and trajectory right for that first hit. How I had to evolve in tank battles made the difference nowadays.

I admit that my heart pounds whenever there is a warning indicator to say that I am locked on. Waiting for the guided shell to hit me from afar. Stealth with tank is like hiding an elephant. Attack choppers and infantry can always spot you. Below is an example of stealth coupled with loyalty in a tank when fishing out engineers armed with RPG. To ward off Viper was the hardest thing but luckily I finished the round unharmed with my T-90A.

I just got promoted and I have unlocked USAS-12 automatic shotgun. I told myself to keep fighting with my two trusty LMG and rifle; M240B and M4A1. I must admit that I got killed a lot by players using USAS in infantry-only maps like Operation Metro in conquest rounds. I will stick to my support class; resupplying and providing cover and suppressive fire-power.

Stay True

Win or lose, just stay true to yourself as you know that you are not stooping down to that level for easy kills. I have many good players with assault rifles as their first choice like M416. ‘High-ranking’ players playing USAS and still became feeder in here! I managed to capture Charlie but it did not change the game :\

BATTLEFIELD 3

My brother, KENJI139, entered a game which was already under way. His team’s tickets were about 50 and the opponents’ were about 140. He had to do something fast to turn the game around. So, he hopped into a T-90A and played the effing objectives despite the great handicap. Guess what? This is the end result.

Go In With Positive Mindset

To get your BF3 clan noticed, you will have to play as one with your online friends anywhere in the world. Constantly plan and adapt to the situation every single minute. The best quote I heard for the day:

“We can turn this around. Everything depends on you in the tank, fir_nev” – leonidas300300

Such confidence even with seventy tickets behind when we entered mid-way in the game. We still lost but we gained something intangible. Top two finishes in the team.

In the tank, I told leonidas300300 (who was on a jet) to harass certain flags and provide air cover for me. The conversation can be as simple as this, “Leon, I need you to strafe (the said flag) when airspace is clear. On my way.” Hardcore’s gameplay must be coordinated carefully as friendly fire is on.

Camping Noobs

Few matches later, we were up against a better organised team compared to ours who were about to learn vehicles thus the base camping. I had one tank driver who kept deploying IR smoke and I was blind as a machine gunner while trying to drop enemies. We were tempted to do this:

Play The F***ing Objectives

We however played the objectives and this is the result of our loss. This time, we had xMontayy with us.

So, you can see that having a clan with headset can be very rewarding.

BATTLEFIELD 3

I had nothing to do and I decided to play ‘BATTLEFIELD 3′ till late.

Picking Up Where I Left Off

Armed with the knowledge of how I can survive longer as a tank machine gunner, I went into a random hardcore conquest server and immediately, I spawned myself on a squad leader who was rolling in a main battle tank. He was talking on his headset and I thought initially that he is a trash-talking gamer. I did what ‘Mr Fix-It’ engineer would do whenever we suffer damages and he started to recognise my efforts. I can see that gamer ‘MTEclipes89‘ is a very competent tank commander. His statistics here show that he has spent considerable amount of time in the MBT. He never leave me behind and I broke my silence after the quote, “Whoops, sorry buddy. C’mon, hop in…” Once we both were on headsets, we were able to coordinate better on when I can help him with the repairs.

Disconnected Again

The tank crew were enjoying good run. ‘MTEclipes89‘, ‘fir_nev‘ and ‘nude-tojo‘ were searching and destroying infantry, armour and aircrafts alike in Kharg Island. I was talking to him when I froze! Man! I was about to enjoy this armour run.

Normal Rush

I was so frustrated and upon restart, I accepted the invitation from ‘xMontayy‘ and find myself playing rush. On normal mode, I take longer time to kill enemies! I set my mentality ‘gung-ho’ and went all out to arm that very last M-Com but failed in all.

Good HC CQ Run

I invited ‘Shoryu286‘ and we played conquest again. We went 6-4 in our 10-game run. My former colleague struggled to grasp the concept of hardcore again. I was spraying my M240B machine gun like there was no tomorrow. Grabbed myself two MVP in the big maps. We pushed so hard at ‘Operation Firestorm’ that it took us 9 minutes to conclude the whole game. I even did a GTA in my tank by running over few people in the open desert.
