Sufficiently kickass.
Glad to see they're tweaking Suez to add more capture points and extend the capture radius of the ones in the village. That map can be some fresh, hot bullshit.

edit: Noticed this, like, a day later, but I didn't mean to say they extended the radius, since they did the opposite. Doesn't really matter, though.

I wish support had the placeable AT mines. What the hell am I supposed to do with one limpet mine? Assault should be the class trying to tag vehicles.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
If you want the BF4 experience of throwing C4 on tanks, the way to go is to run Assault and the AT mines. Run up to side of tank, drop three mines, then throw a grenade at them. The explosion is pretty much a guaranteed kill on any tank variant and the radius is huge.

EDIT: Plus half the time the game will report that you killed a tank with a grenade, which has to be the most :wtc: thing to the tank driver.

I got the sweetest multikill on st. Quentin today at C. Some fuckers tried to take it in a tank so I ran in front of that bitch, dropped 3 mines, and nuked the lot. What made it sweeter was the bonus 2 for 1 because it exploded the armored car following behind too. I even survived! Did I remember to record it? Did I gently caress.

Crates are just not good. The pouch will refill your mine in about eight seconds, and you often get a crit with limpets, knocking out the guns on the side of a heavy, or a sponson in a landship, so you can feasibly side-hug it until you get a fresh one.

you want to use ammo packs for restocking explosives, it's much faster and you can do it on the move, which helps with the getting exploded thing

multiple limpet charges would be much better from a support perspective (and I'd prefer it), but it would also make support players who get close to tanks instantly fatal to the tank rather than just quite dangerous which seems to be how DICE wants it

as it stands though I'm definitely much more inclined to take them for bunker busting than as a preferred means of dealing with vehicles

I'd prefer the limpets to be proximity based, rather than time. :dice: has turned it's back on the jihad style of enemy tank management, and those sidecar motorcycles are begging for it.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. I've been using crates because I thought they worked like BF4 where only crates would refill explosives (iirc).

On 15 August, Tomić encountered an enemy plane while conducting a reconnaissance flight over Austria-Hungary. The Austro-Hungarian aviator initially waved at Tomić, who waved back. The enemy pilot then took a revolver and began shooting at Tomić's plane. Within weeks, all Serbian and Austro-Hungarian aircraft were armed





Like just imagine you've been flying recon over the trenches for weeks and you keep seeing the same dude on the other side flying recon and you guys wave and salute and throw gang signs at each other every day and over time you think about like hm maybe i might be gay and then one day you throw a brick just for fun and it fuckin beans him right in the head and his plane flips over and goes straight down all BBBBBZZZZZzzzzzzzzzrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnn and it's the funniest thing you've ever seen in your life but it's also the first human being you've ever killed

Takes forever to reload, only a 25 rounds magazine and the recoil is incredibly bad. Nothing "elite" about that kit whatsoever.

That kit has gotten me so many kills. Just burst fire it and you can mow down entire squads with one clip.

In the last two days I both drove a blimp and got a bunch of kills and got that dreadnought artillery spot and went 22-0 with it. Each time got me two level-ups as well.

I was pretty bummed about assault class until I got the A10 shotgun. A10 + rocket gun for long range is a pretty good setup.

I shot a horse with a biplane.

A good game.

the range isn't great, not like a grenade more like throwing the dynamite but magnetic and I think they stick if you hit it right

Patrol boat visibility is loving atrocious but so far the firepower is on par with BC2 Vietnam (blast from teh past). Maybe the dastardly Turks just didn't have the right firepower to take me out but my buddy stranded me by dying and I mowed down 6 or 7 infantrymen before a plane strafed me to death.

I wouldn't expect to suck at aiming any less as a sniper. The nice thing about having 32 mans on your team these days is that you make much less difference as an individual so whatever snipe away!
