Why is it, by the way, that when I'm in a starfighter I can hardly ever spot ground troops because of how fast I'm going yet when I'm on the ground sometimes these starfighters almost hover about.

I just strafe the gorund at random... i know i cant hurt my own guys and i can never see anything smaller than an ATST

Same as above, slight difference is that I educatedly guess where infantry may be massing or attacking. capture points are your friends.

BTW could anyone tell me where the falcon/slave power ups are on various maps.

I know on 'jawa refuge' that the falcon one is under an arch

and on jaku wreckage map its on top of the crashed corvette.

Im usually too busy to look for them.

I know on sullust the falcon pickup is under the big radar dish, that's the only one I get

Last night as Imperial I saw the hero pickup on Jakku under some debris out in the open in the middle of the map. You have to fly through a small thruster ring or something, so I crashed in the attempt. Bummer.

People with their ion torpedoes sicken me. Yesterday I was Imperial on Sullust and got into an Interceptor. I take off and immediatly have three torps on my tail, two of which hit and kill me. Don't these guys have ground fighting to do?

They don't hate you; they're just envious because they wish they had a cool starfighter to fly around in.

Once I was playing Supremacy on Endor and try as we might, we couldn't take that middle control point. Time was ticking when I happened upon the AT-ST pickup. I marched up a side path to the control point and caught a bunch of Rebels off guard. I then stoodnat that point and just blasted rebel after rebel as my health slowly dwindled. I pulled a couple of awesome dodges where I strafed behind cover to cause the Ion missile to hit a tree. Eventually my commrades moved up and took the control point, but I died soon after. We then immediately lost the control point once our heavy artillery was gone, but man, it was a good run!

Also, in Fighter Squadronsz after all my Imperial teammates rage quit upon a particularly crushing defeat, I found myself in an X-wing with only 3 squadmate's against 9 or 10 Imperial players. Fortunately, they all loved TIE interceptors and I managed to kill 10 of them, unlocking that achievement. Anybody else get this achievement yet? I imagine it's easier in an A-wing. Or the Millennium Falcon (I've haven't ever played as a hero ship yet). Anybody manage 10 A-wing kills? That one may have to wait for the February update, and the promised A-wing fix.

No I hate you the dark side powers my torpedoes.

I scored 53 kills to 2 deaths using predator tanks in EC. This has nothing to do with battlefront, I feel I need to brag because HOLY **** LOOK AT THAT RATIO!

I <3 sniping with an autocannon.

Someone now needs to make a Word Bearers tank ace for the next chaos codex, (Called Kurgon).

Well it was just shown on SWHQ that the A-Wing is getting nerfed in February... The reason I don't like it getting nerfed is just because it takes my satisfaction of killing them, one time three in a row, away from me since they are the hardest thing to fight that is standard in Fighter mode. Also its kinda true to cannon that their jammers are better than what we get to use in this game mode.

Also in the SWBF companion apparently it shows how many kills you get when in a vehicle... Y-Wings are on the list.

When I'm done with ARMA3 and EC I'll give battlefront more love.

Even though for the xbox dragon age inquisitor calls out to me....

I've got a mission to kill 10 air speeders. It doesn't seem to be that hard, but.....

Whenever I play Superiority games, it's always terribly one sided. There is usually a few really good players working together to just flank the base. Sometimes they get stopped, but they must be in a group online together and they keep at it and usually break through. If you aren't in a group, you can't seem to stop them. They just keep at it and clean your clock. Every time I play this mode lately, it's just a one sided battle. I was in a game that lasted less than 5 min one time. Utterly frustrating.

What made me laugh recently is that my PSN network name is 'razvedchik_' which is a russian word for a scout or raider.

I have had a few lame chat up messages so far from people who think im a 'chick' and female.

One day i'm going to string one of them along for a laugh....

I mean if you're going to come on to someone via SWBF you deserve it

For those that play on PC, do you use keyboard and mouse or a controller in Fighter Squadrons? I have consistently been getting high scores on fighter squadrons, which surprises me because I'm generally not very good at video games. I'm wondering if maybe those who play with mouse and keyboard, as I do, have the advantage? I mean, the only people that score higher than me are those who get the hero ship power ups, and sometimes not even then. I'm usually in the bottom 25% of other game modes, though, so clearly infantry fighting is more challenging for me. Thoughts?

I think most people play with KB+M. I do well with a very sensitive controller, though.

If only there weren't those ion torps in every game of walker assault ever...

Haha. I run Ion Torpedo on Rebel side Walker Assault all the time. They're great for putting damage on the Walker from the ground. Also, and I don't know if you know this or not, they are great for taking down starfighters.

C'monnnnn A-Wing fix. What do we think it's going to be?

Larger hit box seems the favorite.
Half hit points to more coincide with being so small?

Shields that don't last 4x as long as they should?

Upgrading missiles so they'll actually hit?

Auto-Eject the pilot after 5 kills?

(I'm being facetious about the interceptor, but it would be one way to balance it.)

I feel so guilty. I'm totally that Ion Torpedo guy...yeah. Maybe I should change my ways.

Oh don't worry, I am a total hipocrit and do the exact same thing when the walker is not vulnerable all day

You aren't gonna like me much....

I use ion torp mainly as imperial, as rebel starfighters have an upper hand, I find it's best to let some other gung ho fool go after them while I take them out from relative safety.

I also managed to shoot down 3 starfighters in Walker Assault with just my targeting blaster rifle. My favorite was when the A-wing came in to strafe me and I stood my ground and blew him up when he was just 20 m away. I like killing A-wings too much, and I need help.

You mean the pulse rifle right, the green sniper jobby?

I'll admit i've not been able to land a starfighter kill with the T-21B. (hits, sure. finals, no).
