@RaginSamAs infantry? Everything you get killed by is mostly at 0-200m radius. If someone snipes you, it's part of it. But ever never the ever in bf history someone took you out with a tank one shot 1km away while you flying with jet. Ofc you have hard to find cover cause you are in the middle of crisis and chaos. Let's not forget medics that pull you up and let's not forget instant medped regen.

When you drive your car, you drive with care not to scratch it right? I fly with care not to die. (survive as much as possible) 


Even when I'm sniping, I'm constantly moving. The point is that you're literally never safe in a BF game. Someone might be watching and just waiting for you to take a pause and then snipe you across the map. All of your examples are CQC fighting on a flag. That's not what I was trying to say at all. Up on the cranes on Manifest, I'm still not sitting still if I'm at all exposed. Or if I'm playing midfield behind the flag on Spearhead. If someone can get any sort of angle on me, I am moving. It's how the game plays.

It's the same when using a tank. I'm always on the move. Soon as you stop, Sundance flies in from across the map, silently, and then C5's you. I don't constantly swerve when using the Latv, but if I see a tank I sure do.

If you get shot down in a Jet by a Tank, that's on you. You're flying to slow, predictable, too low, and gave the Tank time to line up the shot.

How many times has the Rail Tank shot down a Jet that far away? I don't think you're being honest with that one. That's a very rare occurrence if it did ever happen. There's no way that happens regularly.

    The railgun tank is not hitscan. Its a projectile with extreemely high velocity. At long and even medium-long ranges you will still miss the target if you do not lead with it. It's only one-shot to small air/jet with upgraded weapons and while in siege mode. Siege mode drastically limits turret angle and increases "wind-up" time for the gun. Hitting a high-speed jet at range is non-trivial. Yes, it happens. But I miss the jet way more often when it's at long rage. And if its close range, it should be flying high enough that its outside the angle of the turrets capability.

    @DigitalHype It's fast enough to anticipate. Its easier than sniping... And ffs, I've already mentioned, you drive on small bump, there you can escalate ur turrets height to freaking space.
