Direction of airstrikes

good grief this pisses me off so bad. for example lets say we are playing on Ambush and I want the airstrike to go Horizontal across the middle of the map where the broken down tanks are at but when you call it in it goes vertical on the map and kills yourself. WTF!@#@#%

I've killed myself a few times with my airstrikes and have been left thing...what the hell?!!?! But the thing that gets me is if the airstike doesnt actually hit where you want it to, but instead, hitting the roofs of the high buildings around it.

i know now when i get an air strike i just set it off in random locations now and hope for one kill and i just go look for the other 2 to get the chopper

My airstrikes are always w**k, never get anyone, just my f*****g luck.

Apart from that they're brilliant for me. (:

The people run off. I hardly ever kill anyone with airstrikes, but whatever.

In some of the tips before starting a match it mentions to recon ur airstrike (2 kills) and then call it in (3 kills) to lay out a carpet bomb. The direction could possibly have to do with where u do UAV recon,and then afterwards lining up with ur airstrike marker on the map.

Judging on whatever direction the 2 points correspond together whether its away or towards the recon point. That or whatever direction u are facing while doing recon. Just a guess.

NO such thing the airstrike is accurate when uav is on,last night i got some 15 with airstrikes.A good advice don't use it strait away take cover and ask a team mate for an uav.

ahh... so uav is for ur teammate to line up once u have an airstrike available eh? that makes sense. however, that would be quite a challenge seeing u dont often have 2 ppl last long enough on one team to pull that off. still dont see how exactly uav and airstrike make a difference if used together seeing airstrike only effects a certain area. then again i dont think i played with 2 ppl who manged a combined airstrike.
