Is there a way to go from prone to crouched? Cause I always seem to stand all the way. Really disappointed that the crouch indicator seems to only exist in the single player.

Is it just me or is it really tough getting headshots with shotguns? I almost only use the A10 exclusively and haven't gotten a single headshot all week with it.

A testament to this great game is that I have fun with every class and vehicle of the game. I do better with tanks, but If I don't get it, I don't mind it.

Tei, your elan and warrior ethos has inspired me to be better at this game. As such, I'm sorry, but I had to one up your kills, if not your total score:

Fun tonight but I had the most atrocious lag, until I got sick of it and figured out it wasn't my connection, console, or any interference, so I went to the battlelog forums and read a few pages of a whinge thread about the exact same thing (i.e five people complaining about it and 100 people enquiring about game balance/frame rate issues) and then it went away :iiam:

I had extremely bad lag this morning on the PS4. Like a full 1-2 seconds at times. The worst example was running past a thrown anti tank grenade, blasting two dudes in the face with the 10-A Hunter, no hit markers, watching them return enough fire to kill me twice, then mysteriously dying to the anti tank grenade 10+ yards behind me that I heard go off 2 seconds prior.
At least I somehow managed my 20 kills for the skull medal on that level.

I just notice the category for "horse kills" is empty, a error on this website or the game don't track that.

I believe it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the motorcycle. Last night was the first I've seen people really use the armored cars as well. My tank probably dissuaded them from future use though

In my opinion all "jeeps" and motorcycles need to be like 4x heavier. They bounce around like you are on the loving moon.

Also give us more jeeps. Just basic technical style vehicles.

One time I tried to get in a car with my squad, but I didn't know how to do it, so I pressed X, and I mantled up on top of it and just stood on top of it, probably totally blocking the gunner's view. But I couldn't fall off, I was rock stead as the car bounced along the countryside.

That's my story.

I started using it on Sinai to capture G because it's a pain getting there otherwise. It's good fun solo trying to roadkill dudes because it's so fast and the turning radius is horrible. Somehow I've managed 3 kills with it. You can stick a limpet to it and launch it, but your timing would have to be impeccable to have any effect.

Any advice on throwing the AT grenades? There's so much chaos, I can't even see where I'm throwing them. It's usually like "There's a tank!" *aim up 45 degrees, chuck it, get shot by a sniper* I've thrown like six of these things, and I can't tell if they do anything or are useful at all. even when I don't die, i can't pick out my explosion from the convocation of other explosions associated with a tank simply existing.

The range on them is no joke. I'm constantly surprised by how far they go, I always underestimate their range when I'm tanking. The splash is decent as well. Just the warning symbol on my screen from one of those being thrown is enough to make me retreat pretty far back because it's hard to see where they're thrown from if the soldier is in cover. So, throw them from farther away and from a hiding spot.

So is it reasonable to throw them with my crosshairs on the tank, or does that mean I'm too close?

This is definitely one of those games where everyone has some kind of olympic throwing arm, and chucking grenades 60 meters is no big deal.

I can't say since I'm usually the tank whore getting attacked. Most the time it looks like they're being thrown in a high arch towards me, which probably contributes to me underestimating the range.

I've been using dynamite and anti tank rifle myself when I'm assault but the grenades still seem valuable

With AT grenades you want to arc a little higher, both because they don't travel as far as normal grenades, but also because they detonate on impact and vehicles are usually so big that unless it's right in your face it's pretty hard to overthrow completely while it's very easy to underthrow

Riding as a passenger in the sidecar you can't switch to third person view. On Monte Grappa that's a one way trip to vomit city. It's hilariously bad.

Speaking of AT Grenades: I find it ridiculous that the assault AT nades fly what feels like 3 times farther than the light AT nades do. Light AT grenades feel like you have wimpy noodle arms.

Lol. Someone sent me hate mail because I blew up his tank, then got him with a grenade, then shot, then stabbed him in a round. He's very mad I have a lag switch on my controller; i don't know what that means, for the first time I didn't have any of the connection warnings on my screen. Once you learn how to use the equipment, a Support guy with a limpet and a couple of assault bros are basically unstoppable.
