I feel like my bomber accuracy would increase if the little left d-pad eye thing worked for me at all. That's supposed to give you the bombadier's view from the bottom of the plane with a little reticle, right?

The way it works is if you're in first person mode and have the bombs equipped then aiming brings up the bomb sights. Pressing the d-pad eye while you're aiming down the sight will automatically dorito spot any enemies you see

do you guys ever splurge on Superior battlepacks or do you just spend your scraps on the 200 ones?

I want the Edelweiss but I already got the gold skin for m1912 pistol (Habsburg or whatever) twice :(

I saved up 5000 scrap until I saw a SMLE skin I wanted, bought five superior packs trying to get it and got the same pistol skin five times in a row thus cementing my position of gently caress random loot forever.

:whip: :cthulhu: :shivdurf:

I don't really pay attention to the skins, I save legendaries if they appear and I don't already have them and the rest gets scrapped for the 900 ones. Then, usually, that gets scrapped. I was waiting for the giant knife puzzle pieces but I got the club a few days back and I like it so now I don't really care about the packs.

I guess the medals come back around because I haven't chosen one in a very long time but then, suddenly, I'm "trying" for the horse one which I'm pretty sure I had chosen a long time ago. Still not worried about it, though, I just can't be bothered.

The warbonds thing is so dumb, having bought everything by level 70/71 what is the point of even having that poo poo? It's maxxed at 1800 and it just annoys me every time I see it, why aren't the (almost equally useless) battlepacks available to be bought for them? WHY :dice: WHY??

Hell, let us poor plebs buy the cool kids' stuff like Lawrence's SMLE or something for 33,000 daddy warbux.

I'm fairly certain they give you just enough warbonds to buy everything. I'm not pilot/tanker rank 10 and I don't have all the vehicle combos but if you unlock all of that you should have no warbonds left

Also because everyone would spend their wabonds on sick skins and then bitch and whine that they can't unlock the Kolibri because they don't have any money left.

"Man is the animal that thinks something is wrong."
Skins and customization are only cool when you have to do something to get an item. Things like X service stars or finishing a medal or assignment should grant skins. Handing out random chances via a randomly accruing currency is not interesting or motivating.

Oh, I had no idea. I don't really use vehicles in this game, it seems like I'm always meeting a million rocket guns and anti-tank nades when I try to tank/arty truck. Thanks for the info, now at least I understand why I'm at that particular number.

So, it turns out that I am somewhat better at Hardcore than I am at regular core (softcore?).

I'm not great by any means, but so far I've gone from being a backmarker to consistently in the middle of the scoreboard. Even managed a positive K/D once.

Anyone else kinda sick of DICE slobbering all over YouTube celebrities' opinions of the game? Like I don't give a poo poo about what JackFrags has to say about this game, or that LevelCap thinks that grenades explode too easily and the game is for "casuals." Why the hell should these people be given such a loud voice in how the game may be modified?

Cynical answer to any and every question about games is because people who play them are stupid, easily led, and have money to burn.

The worst part of those guys being listened to is they are all PC players, and mouse aiming is such loving easy mode that their opinions mess up the balance for a game that is much better on console. I like not dying to pixel perfect headshots from a pistol from across the map because someone has expert muscle memory thanks to their data entry job at the local Amazon warehouse.

PC gaming is poo poo. Also, those twats always have text chat and kill-logs turned on, and often a FOV setting so high it looks like a 90's skate video.
