    I've done the same many times.

    Sometimes you might be out of range of your C4 and they wont detonate, sometimes they've already been blown up by friendly AT rockets.

    I don't think there's a detonation range limit. I've put C4 on friendly tanks to troll PA guys and blown it up from across Oman.

    I've fallen for the M249's iron sights. First iron sight on any gun in any game that has optics customisation that just clicks for me.

    I also pulled off my first jihad jeep. Now I need more.

    Most of the irons in this game are awesome. If I'm not using a higher-powered optic, I'll probably be running irons.

    I don't think I have given them a fair enough shot across the board.

    I am a child of the red dot from my time playing the CoD's and I kind of got stuck in my ways.

    Now that I know I can set off C4 after death...Well...That is just fuckawesome

    I wasted a couple lives trying to grenade an LAV that was camping pour spawn that I had previously gotten C4 onto. I could even see the little C4 stars or what have you on it. All I needed to do was pull out the damn clacker.

    Would you happen to know if Iron Sights have a faster ADS speed than red dot sights?

    Nothing scarier than being the 2nd gunner in a tank and watching a driverless jeep come pelting toward you and the tank driver is obliviously trying to snipe helichopters

    I have seen and hear about his this; just putting some kind of sights on your gun reduces it's recoil a little. From what I remember reading, the irons cause the gun to jump around a little more.

    I have not so wonderful eyesight so the red dot or acog really helps me distinguish between the background and the sights. The Kobra sight is stupid though. But I am on a mission to get a service star with every weapon now. So A-91 with Kobra will have to work until I unlock the superior RDS.

    I think it comes down to people like me who suck terrible balls with iron sights finding themselves able to control the gun better with some sort of optic attachment on there

    Sign up on battlelog and apply for the 82nd Arcadians. Then add the gamer tag PABF3 to your friend list to see the people who play.

    You can also add my tag El Mucho.

    Pretty much the only things I die to now are vehicles, supports, and surprise attacks from behind.

    I still have no idea what gun is best for me.

    Anyways, you guys should hop on mumble and get some gaemz with us.

    The 3-round burst is pretty good in close quarters but it can be a little shaky if you try to take out people at longer distances.

    This game would be a lot of fun if I didn't have to migrate servers every 2-3 hours because of cheating dickwads.

    I don't understand why EA isn't banning CD keys, it gets really old when you get insta-killed through a tank for the fourth time in an evening by some guy jerking off with his script kiddie garbage.

    Ugh. Unless a map's ceiling is like, really low (Bazaar), it feels like the best place for me to be is with my ass parked in MAV mode, floating high high above the battlefield and spotting everything. If only there were more in-game 'chievos for it.

    Make sure to report those jagweeds by clicking the little ! in a triangle icon at the top right corner of their public profile. No idea if it actually helps, but it couldn't hurt and it makes me feel better to believe I'm focusing the Eye of Sauron on them.
