Chopper Circle Strafing Tutorial

Flying the choppers is one of my favourite activities in Battlefield 3, and one of the very popular maneuvers is called "circle strafing" - it means to basically circle your target, while pointing at the target the whole time, so you can keep shooting the living daylights out of him! :)

Here's a nice tutorial video showing how to do it:


Support tips and tricks

Support is one of the 4 Battlefield 3 classes that you can play. Probably the highlight of the support class is the light machine guns they carry, as well as Ammo boxes, together with C4, Claymores and the Mortar.

I've also noticed that Support guys usually rack in the most kills in the battles, so if you like killing people, then the support class is excellent for you!

Here's another cool video from the guys at Elite Gamer Bros. giving some very nice tips and tricks on all the aspects of the support class:


Attack Choppers tips and tricks

The Attack Choppers is by far my favourite "vehicle" in Battlefield 3, especially when you have an able bodies co-pilot with you!

Some things that I have noticed:

ALTITUDE - this is probably your greatest defense while flying a chopper. Stay as high as you can until you engage.

LEARN TO LAND - I cannot remember how many times I have landed the chopper, got out, repaired it, got back in and back into the battle - you obviously need to be the Engineer, but this can really increase the impact you have in the battle.

DON'T FLY ALONE - I know it's not always possible, but whenever possible, make sure you have a gunner with you - they can also use flares, and the gun is strong enough to damage tanks and jeeps.

Lastly, check out this awesome video from the guys at Elite Gamer Bros:


This video is by the same guys, but covers the Havok, which is the Russion chopper - it flies a bit differently to the Viper, so it's worth it to have a look:



Once you get the hang of how to fly the choppers, it can be lots and lots of fun, so just keep at it, and remember, the 2nd Co-op mission is in a chopper the whole time, so get a friend and do that one as many times as it takes - the controls and everything is exactly the same as in the multiplayer!

Enjoy!

Jets, jets and more jets

I personally am not a fan of the Battlefield 3 Jets. I also kinda hate it when people who cannot fly the jets, actually fly them, because that is one less soldier on the battlefield. But, I want to add that if a guy knows what he's doing in the jet, he can really be an asset to the battle!

The guys from Elite Gamer Bros. compiled a few videos with some really valuable hints and tips on how to make the best of your flying experience, not only for you, but the team as well!





Thanks to Diego for these awesome videos!
