Jet Tutorial - Dealing With The Mobile AA - Battlefield 4 

How to deal with the mobile AA Step 1. Get on PC Step 2. Join Ghost's server Step 3. Give the Attack Jet to Ghost Aaand you're done

Aa campers are sin personified, they seem to ruin every good dogfight.

AA's are crazy OP. If I'm in one, not only will there be no enemy aircraft, but I can snipe enemies with the cannons better than any 20/14x sniper.

For all the MAA's that camp within the range of the spawn AA: Most of them stand still all the time, just spot him and drop a two Jdam's from the flight ceiling. Most of the time they forget to pop their APS, and when they get hit by the first one they can't Move out of the way for the second one.

still doesnt change the fact that aa can take you out in like 5 hits

I am an AA tryhard and one weakness i can give you about it is that if you look straight up in an AA and spin the turret in a circle there will be a patch of sky you just cant aim at meaning its turrent can only look up at a 80-85 degree angle and when im attacked from that blind spot all i can do i try and move until my cross hairs are back on them to shoot that active radar so he can lose control and get off my back for a bit so i can regroup myself and figure out a way to take him on if that situation is to happen again. I use the support class MP-APS an active protection system that is literally the same to a vehicle active protection. I place it down and drive my AA over it. Only down fall is that about the hight of the vehicle will hinder the portable Active protection and cause 35 percent of the rounds shot at you from above to hit you. And then you have your regular vehicle active protection making you have double the AP and you throw a supply box down and gain another and place it down ready for another use which is faster then waiting for it to rearm itself. Only real danger to me are JDams but pilots make it to easy to know when its coming lol and the way you use it like you did in this video was brilliant dropping it at the last second. But as an experienced AA driver having air radar and noticing that your looking my direction makes me look towards your direction unless your straight above me lol all i have to do is move towards you making the time you have to shoot me shorter and making the jdams miss barley. Then move right back on to my mobile active protection. The most common way peope attack me is with hydra rockets and it isn't that effective unless im super unaware of you and my active protection 2 layers plan is used up. In my opinion someone skilled with a tv guided missile in an attack helicopter will fuck my world up -_- and you cant stop it i tried lol they poke out for half a second shot and hide immediately afterward making it hard -_- . Attack jets make themselves too vulnerable by slowing down a lot and even if you hit me your moving like 10 mph up there making yourself a target. I hope this will help you guys on killing people like me on an AA because i sure love a challenge.

As a mobile AA driver, I find all the commentary about us being “annoying” and such, funny AND satisfying. Means I’m doing my job! LOL!

aa tanks are the most op the most annoying thing in any battlefield

i feel nostalgic now after patch you have no chance at all killing the MAA, doesn't matter who is in it

Good tips, although you might want to reconsider dive bombing the AA if they have active radar missiles. One of my fav tactics is to pretend not to notice the jet as it lines up the run, and then suddenly pop my APS and hit them with an active radar about 2/3 the way down, so they come crashing into the ground, due to the mobility hit.

That was a very useful tutorial. I never thought about dropping down low his range of fire. I didn't know there was a limit to what he could see so that was very informative. I just don't know what APS stands for.

Your tutorials really helped me, I'm finally getting into jets and I just noticed how much fun they are.I onlyhave trouble with orientation in dogfights. Great work, Mate

Finally got this one pushed out guys, I decided to work on some new graphics and such whilst making it so that's why the delay, let me know what you guys think :)

Nice videos!!! More tutorials/game plays please. Its been my No1 game since it come out... Time I tried to master them jets and copters, I usually leave them alone for those who know how to fly and help win the battles

I've gotten ridiculously better with both jets as a result of your videos! Thanks for the help!

thanks a million i have been getting alot of trouble with those aa tanks

Was that KSP music? xD I found this really useful. You're criminally under-subscribed!Amazing work!

very useful tips specially for a very pro one as you , thanks

I spam AA so I'll give you my tactics so you can try to avoid them. I'm a d-bag so I use active radar. I tend to stay in the middle of the map or travel with tank/LAV. When an attack jet is diving on me or strafing me, unless I know his secondary weapon, I will always assume JDAM. What I do in this case is to activate APS and move the AA in the direction of the jet, this way he needs to dive steeper and may even crash. Another thing I do when being dived is to launch active radar missile to get a mobility hit, making the plane easier to shoot down. So if you want to engage AA with aircraft (I suggest you don't), make sure you fire countermeasures to avoid an active radar to the face. Also spin if you want to 'try' to avoid the cannons.

As always a great vid with super helpful hints. Now all I need is be as beast of a pilot as you are and I won't have a problem!

Congrats on the 4k man!

Great tutorial yet again ghost

Perpendicular means 'forming a right angle'. Your usage of the term is not consistent with its meaning.

The series helped me a lot you have earned my subsciption

Another tip is when starting out, either avoid it entirely or make sure both jets are dead before going to attack it. Nothing is worse than missing the AA then both jets appear behind you

Still getting views and very good videos! that bit about map location was not boring or tedious in the least bit in fact knowledge like that can only be obtained through observation and experience and that I am grateful for! Great bit about angle of attack as well. I tend to be a bit compulsive, so not being overzealous is another great point! thanks for the great info man! to bad your on pc, would love to fly with you

Thanks for the tips

7:08 chat lol youre doing Gods work brother, keep smoking those AA

Awesome outro. Nice vid ghost.

This video was done so well I am on a vacation or holiday right now so I'm watching on my phone but I don't have much time but this video was worth it

When my jet catches on fire I kamikaze into the nearest vehicle or enemies.

thank you. I'll try those tips

2020 - Still hasn't changed :)

Amazing tutorial man

nice thanks for the tips and reminders!

Thanks man... this was great... :-D

Great presentation and information! When using Laser Guided missiles you can start your approach low just over ground or water. Due to the downward pitch of the gunsight, the jet will have to pitch up slightly to aim and lock removing concerns about pulling up or crashing in a critical state. Unless you approached his face in his view most times they'll swivel upwards looking for you in the sky. Even if he sees you, it's hard to get a lock or cross hair on you before you pass. Once you do, he has to swivel 180 degrees to follow. As you are leaving at an almost level slightly upward angle with him facing the other way, you can evade by going just about anywhere you want. Anyone can do this with the default jet load out and without having to line up a 30mm gun sight or even manage flight speed. While you have to plan and be thoughtful, there is not a lot of muscle memory involved. Fly fast, low, level, line him up, fire, wait for impact, and leave. If both hit without being countered you will do a minimum of 60 damage from any angle. Good for newer pilots with basic loadouts and less experience with speed controlled 30mm ground attacks.

For AA tankers, never stick around your vehicle spawn point. Shoot and scoot, right away from your last firing point. Jets, especially, have flight paths they tend to run back and forth across the battlefield, so stick your tank at some point along this, preferably covered by terrain. ALWAYS MOVE AFTER AN ENGAGEMENT! Use missiles and only shoot if the aircraft has just fired chaff/flares. Only use guns on close range choppers and attacking infantry. Watch out for tanks and get ready to leg it. Don't get involved taking objectives, you are there to fuck up aircraft. Again, keep moving. Obey these rules and you will give the pricks in the planes a bad day. Watch them get upset. Watch one of them spot you and try a solo attack in his rage!

I was loving that head phone loving kerbal space program music

The only thing that works for me against good MAA's is this: wait until the aa is distracted, fly at ~800, drop the first bomb, go in a dive, drop the second bomb, climb up again and dodge if necessary. this does not always work but pretty often it does actually. and it feels great :)

Sexy layout bro, very useful but since I'm on ps3 or old gen console I normally don't deal with the aa, but anyways good job. And a tip, when it in a dive and if he is locking on and u don't have ecm or u see ARMs being fired at u just pull up so u can survive the mobility hit.

i donno if the JDAM has changed in this manner or not but, it seems like if i swap to the JDAM screen even remotely fast, like in this video, it will refuse to fire even if I mash that lmb really hard and quickly.. Is this something you or anyone else experienced at some point too?

It is actually much easier to kill it with hydras. Just give him one full burst of rockets from a distance, pull up to like 1.5km while his aps is active and he cannot see shit due to the explosions and then just finnish him with an top down angle :) if u hit all 14 rockets, you will do 96dmg.

one tactic i find working almost always is going max altitude and dropping a jdam on them when they are stationary. then immediately dive close to 90 degrees and follow your bomb. start using the cannons right when the first jdam hits and then drop the second one on your way out. thats two booms and gunfire in such rapid succession they wont know whats going on until its over.

Awesome! :D

its realy helped me!!!

I've frustrated many skilled attack jet players with the AA tank. I'm not the best attack jet player so I enjoy every chance I get to exact revenge. I don't camp of course. My load out is just 20mm+APS+active radar. I try to move into the front lines as much as possible, but well within friendly territory. I observe attack jets, and as soon as they begin their attack run (when they're the most vulnerable), I pop off one active radar missile to trigger their ECM or flares, then immediately fire off the second missile and the 20 mm cannon. I do this as well when they're in a dogfight. It's important to lead your shots in both situations.

AA is the most annoying vehicle in the game. And easily the most powerful because if you try to attack it with air you're dead. If you attack it with ground it will just run back to spawn or it's accompanied by a tank

Here is another tip: - take the attack jet and fly on very high altitude - spot the aa or wait for your team to spot it - find it on your jdam-monitor and drop the first bomb (aa tanks are mostly camping) - after you dropped the bomb fly a vertical loop and wait for the hitmarker - if the jdam hits right it will cause a mobility kill - after you finished the loop just drop the second bomb (if you lost the aa out of sight, look for the detonation of the first jdam and spot the aa again) - while the aa tank cant move, the second jdam will finish it off - profit

Very handy! I have to get to using Jdams. With rocket pods I usually fire off 14 of them from a distance (either pops his APS thinking he's under attack or does a decent chunk of damage) then turn away to reload. Most drivers then straight up panic and don't even look for you, they instead try to run away which is more than enough time for you to do the remaining damage. This however seems way more effective so I'm looking forward to trying it out :)

THIS VIDEO GOT YOU ANOTHER SUB!!! ;D haha I truly hate the AA tanks!

Would be good to see an updated video but including the stealth jet

I love to fly the Attack Jets, but I seriously can't see the speedometer.

Do you have a video explaining the auto turrets at the spawn points and how they work? Because I'm tired of those flaking out on me when I'm in trouble lol.

A better way of engaging the AA is to JDAM from it from really high altitude prior to a gun run (like close to the flight ceiling) This causes it to trigger it's APS in panic and your secondary gun run with the 30mm finishes it off.

plz show how to take out AA using helicopter if you dont know try my kamekazee slam method with the transport i usually place slame in front but on one side work too just requires a bit more skills

Yeah but what if that AA has a damn EOD Bot repairing it every time 1 health goes down? It literally survives 2 jdams and a strafe run 🤦🏻

Jet players can be sneaky and use those routes when I'm in the AA tank always look and those General directions and always watch my back for a little stragglers I'm trying to use CQ on me or c4 Jeeps

Nice tutorials thank you. One question regards the attack jet. Whenever I'm dog-fighting (I use Space for pitch), I'm constantly over aiming, i.e. touching the space bar overshoots my aim, so I'm constantly faffing about trying to get my target in the x-hair. Any thoughts?Cheers!

I only play on hardcore just more fun but these tips are awesome

I still prefer my way of doing it though. I always start my strafe very high and right on top of him because the MAA cannot aim straight up. If the driver is some noob, I will simply drop 2 jdams and done. If he kind of knows what he's doing and pops APS, I will break off and come back to finish him off. If he's a good player and drives away fast, which would be the propper counter to this, if cancel my run in the direction he's driver and try again after a while when he's distracted.

AA tanks are the most useful tank in the game as its intended for Mobility, Sadly they stay on a stupid hill thinking they are stationary.

I tried to find this the other day and just randomly found this today. I hate these stupid things. They ruin the gameplay because you have to play REALLY DEFENSIVE.

ghost guess who just earned a new subscriber!!

Dame useful, the only time I would dislike this is when I am the AA driver

Ghost thanks, it's the awful active radar that infuriates, along with the other team and their stealth jet pilot and his active radar. This only becomes a big issue when flying solo, or playing alone, like you said in your video the best is having a squad mate in the stealth, having him drop a couple laser guided missiles, then swoop in and finish the job.

Great tutorial but I'd say if I was with you in a stealth jet 1: Jets will never bother you again 2: Boats will always be on me 3: Land vehicles will be on me Not because I'm a clown but my manuverability is frustrating they will just keep trying For instance a jet is on me what do I do I circle him until he gets used to the pattern, then I change the pattern, finally hit him with active radar and 25 mm cannon he is gone

First video I've ever watched in 4K.

Whats the point in Planes and Helis when all it takes is 1 AA tank to shut down the entire air support for the opposing team

how about the AA tank people camping in the spawn and when attack, the go to the out of bound area unless u r in a jet.

PC needs Team VOIP, a built in way to communicate with the entire team should be a no brainer.

you can also fly out of range and fire an TV missle at the AA tank

I usually just ignore the AA tanks. They almost always get taken out sometime later by MBT or infantry, unless they camp then I have to switch to jihad jeeps

Nice KSP music

I use double jdams on the AA he doesn't even see it coming

when i know that the AA has active radar i pop my ecm and he can hit me with them and he has to switch back the the 20 mm or 30 mm and i hit him with the 30 mm and jdam

What i do i just get recon, get c4, get a jeep and then u know the rest

Haha, you are the man!

i can deal whit the passive radar but if i get little too close the cannons i get heavy damage! i dont die but i have like 20hp or less everytime and i dont know where they are camping or how to spot them better... and is joam good in killing aa tanks?

7:31 that comment though lol

And a little tip for a tanks- ALWAYS STAY MOBILE! don't stop, because if you are standing in one spot, not moving at all- you are very easy target, and if it's easy to hit you- it's pretty much guaranteed mobility hit, and then you are dead. What I do- is whenever it's possible- I keep moving, thanks to that, even if I didn't realize that a jet was going after me- he can't finish me off with his jdam so I can fully repair before another attack run- so he is basically done, because now I'm aware of his existence ;) The only way that a good pilot can kill a good aa driver- is when he is engaged on something else- then it's pretty much a free kill.

usually i find mobile aa not as mobile as it said, just standing. simply gain attitute and drop a jdam precisly on the if it hit its a 50dmg and simply dive into him WITH ecm a while before or flares close at him so his active radar wont hit u. if theres only 1 radar hitting u in a dive then say bb

Is the music at the beginning from KSP?

I'm a big battlefield 4 fan and I was wondering if the smoke from the tanks actually blocks people's view. I tend to pop smoke whenever someone spots me and the alarms turn off. but what is the purpose of popping smoke while you're in the tank?

Or if nothing else works and you are desperate, RAM THAT CAMPER with a stealth jet.

I use a special load out for aa I use hydra rockets and fire extinguisher to get rid of all damages and fly away and come back again

any Ideas for stealth jets ? :)

What if the AA hides under the bridge or a building? And in the latest update, AA becomes insanely powerful, how can you deal with it?

Okay how do you do this in a stealth jet with an inferior cannon?

Jdams should pass by MAA as a balance against it, also a bigger exposive radius but they haven't updated bf4 in like 4 years

im an offensive as but though I have zuni rockets and 30mm cannon i can duel with lab and on rare occasions a tank

I think they should remove the mobile AA from battlefield for good. That is the most OP thing there is.

I swear my FBI agent had enough me dying to the AA he was getting so much second hand embarrassment that he just slipped me this video.

I like to fly to max altitude drop a jdam dive fire guns then drop another jdam pulling out of the dive

I work the AA a lot. I'm never at the places you call out here, since these are spots where people expect me, all unskilled players go there. I have a lot of jets trying to take me put, trying to kill we diving straight down when they fly top high above me, killed them all except a few. people always think the AA is a easy one to get some points, don't be mistaking.... you need passive radar missiles, air radar, belt feeder and a LOT OF practice. have my tricks to take out choppers and jets and they work flawlessly 90% off the time. +30 AA service stars and I don't even play AA all the time

Ideal

when i use AA im best on Golmud railway and i go on top of the rail close to spawn just before it turns to a bridge im almost invincible there if theres a tank on the right i simply go left and immediatily have cover and the entire air force of the enemy team usually ends up twaming to come kill me but always fail i use the 30mm cannon against heli and jets that comes from really high as well as when they are out of heatseeker lock on range but theres 2 big weakness 1 is parachuters that use c4 and 2 is kamekazee slam users thankfully its super rare anyone uses slams cause its the most effective always wandered why tho - almost forgot (damnit i have to edit) the most important as an AA is to notice the most skilled jet and always keep him spoted but dont shoot if you aren't certain to hit him and when the spot icon stops moving it means hes coming straight for you at that point press the spot on more time and turn a bit away to make the jet think you dont expect him but just enough to barely see him on the edge of your screen then when he starts getting close enough for lock on just turn on active protection and open fire straigh on him with the 30mm it will almost instantly kill him and you wont be harmed thanks to active protection its also good to be near a building that has a roof just in case - sorry jet pilots but you guys are getting too good thanks to tutorials like this one and all the AA tutorial only show the basics but they dont help against good jet pilots

Thanks man :D by the way i got an info there's two dangerous AA driver in the world,ID : Cerberus-IP and Tedeza_Rize these both AA drivers are very dangerous ._.

First If AA is raping you use stealth coating- active radars will more likely miss you, second gain maximum range and altitude spot AA drop 2 JDAMS in a row onto him when you feel that you are closer than 800m to him pop ECM for maximum protection against rockets and strafe away first bomb will hit him 2 seconds later second one will destroy him works 100% and its seems like AA is nothing against an attack jet. Also A-10 is better for JDAM-ing infantry because u can aim thru the window and actually see where the enemy is even not looking at JDAM screen- does not work with other attack jets because of view from cockpit. -SovietTow :)

There's been times where I've been able to take out a MBT while using the AA
