I never knew my father. Each kill is like a hug. ---

If you use an aa tank you should be chemically castrated. ---

When you first take flight in your new helo, you most likely won’t hear the first rocket until it’s already on you. You might even deploy your countermeasures in time. But I only fired one rocket. Now you fly across the map, and just when you think your safe, I tap you on the nose with some 30MM rounds. This causes you to change course. Then I loose another rocket. Your countermeasures are not quite ready. This one sends you into a tailspin. Your countermeasures are reloaded and in a panic, you deploy them. But I am just waiting. I watch you as the smoke trail ascends, pelting your windows with more 30MM rounds. The smoke clears. You’ve completed your evasive manuevers. Your regen starts to kick in. And then I kill you with two more rockets. ---

Sometimes I seriously just wanna have a good time flying helicopters, doing flips and shit but apparently that’s too much to ask ☹ ---

Remember there’s a check for everything. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been c4’d by a recon who drove all the way across the map in an ATV just to kill me. ---

Fuck no, man. I just respawn and get back in the game. IDGAF about KD or any of that shit. I just love to play. I just happen to be a really good AA gunner and get HVT’d frequently, which I consider to be a badge of honor from my most worthy opponents. ---

I take pride in ending aa campers. They are filth. ---

Well that’s different, really. At least when you’re moving around you are in a bit of danger sometimes. But aa tanks sitting in their deployment is a cancer to bf4. ---

You’re talking to the guy who drives his jeep all the way across the map and up the Hill on Lancang Dam to roadkill recons who thought they were safe. AA guns make great linebackers too. I play obliteration and open every map with the aim of first neutralizing enemy air and then I roll in and support the ground effort. One time a guy got the bomb and jumped on top of the AA and I drove him all the way to the end zone. ---

Lol thats pretty funny. I think the reason i hate aa tanks is because they’re overpowered, and because of that they can be used effectively from almost any range. They can also be extremely hard to kill if the driver is aware of their surroundings. I dont remember them being as much of a problem in bf3. ---

They weren’t in BF3 IIRC. Each base had a stationary AA that you could jump into but you couldn’t drive it around. In BF4 they have unmanned AA. When I roll in the AA I’m always switching between 3rd and 1st person. 3rd for maneuvering and 1st when in contact. Same for the MBT and any ground vehicle for that matter. ---

Also best way to kill an AA is c4 or m2’s. I personally prefer the m2s. Sneak up, plant them and then jump in front of the AA to get its attention, maybe schwack it with an RPG round. The minute the driver hits the gas, the motion will trigger the m2 and WHABOOM ---

You can also use a flash grenade magnum pistol (includes deagle) to set off planted c4 or slams. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/aa-tank-users-what-horrible-event-happened-in-your-childhood-that-made-you-hate-fun/112577.md?page=2)
