So I just did the math on how much more xp I need to reach rank 100 and it's absurd. I'm rank 88 and in total I have 8.6 million score. I need 11.4 million or so score. I realize they did that because there isn't prestige or anything like that but drat that's a lot of xp
Just wait until the expansions add ranks 101-140 :shepface:

It is interesting to me that I have literally never seen a rank 100 player though. Even with the absurd amount of XP you need, I figured there'd at least be a small population of sperglords that reached 100 after week 1, let alone after three months.

Play back to basics, I've seen multiple over there. I love back to basics but it seems the better players have migrated over there. So I'll play a few rounds and then head back to normal conquest so I can go 40 and 10 with the selbstlader

It REALLY makes me happy that this is igniting interest in what is called, "The Forgotten War" by historians. Strangely, TFR has some of the best educated people on the subject. At least they did when I posted there years ago.

If you need some recommendations just ask, WW1 is really hard to grasp because empires were fighting that most people don't know about. (The Ottoman Empire, Australian involvement in the war, etc.)

it's round, like always

Played some operation on kaisersknacht yesterday as the German empire. I don't know what was up with it but we'd won both stages of the operation within 15 minutes, only losing maybe half of one battalion in the process. I think I saw maybe 4 enemies total including the train car in Amiens.

Apparently the next patch is changing the initial vehicle spawns to not kick in until everyone has loaded into the match. Was there another good reason to get an SSD beside loading in first and getting your choice of vehicle?

Yup what if someone attempts to quit and the server thinks they're still loading the next map even though they're quitting? How the gently caress is it gonna track this? The cheat way would be to enable vehicle spawn 30 seconds after the game starts.
Then people would just stay at the spawn screen for 30 aeclnds

It's honestly fine as it is, it's not a terribly huge advantage.

loving fix how weird the spawns work not the initial rush of a fresh map load. It's so weird how sometimes you might not even get a vehicle respawn for a solid 8 minutes despite there not being any tanks out there.

I personally like being late into games, because it means I can spawn into someone's taxi that's already halfway across the map instead of having to run 2km out of the base toward somewhere useful only to get plinked by a Russian Sniper on the other side who's barely left his.

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
I'm some where in the neighborhood of 55. I have made rank 10 in each class, mostly unlocked everything.

I have never done a bayonet charge.

It never even comes up as an option.

Rifle with bayonet equipped? Check!
Press W and hold Left Shift to start running forward Check!

Prompt to start bayonet charge? Womp Womp
Hold F while holding W and Left shift? Womp Womp


What in the gently caress am I missing? Can I hire some one for free for lessons?

Press the Melee button while sprinting.

Is there a faster way to rank up tanks. I've been taking objectives and wrecking mans/tanks/planes nonstop and just now hit level 2. Maybe switch to the version that drops ammo?

Also the howitzer light tank rules. 63 damage on a heavy tank :wow:

Yes take breakthrough and poo poo out health/ammo on flags and in packs of pubbies and you'll be 10 in no time

of course be sure to hog squad leader at all times if you need to unlock stuff or otherwise care about ~scoreboard~

Half the time I spawn in a tank the game will make me a pilot, cavalry, or (rarely) infantry class. It honestly feels like 4/5 the time at the beginning of a map. Until I hit level 10 tanker it was pretty annoying - although it still sucks when you're a cavalry and can't repair.

Happens to me in planes too but just as a cavalry, never a tanker.

man so I'm dogsitting for a buddy this weekend, he said if I got bored I could earn him some warbucks so whatever. his account just got started in the game and it's like playing as a child among grownups without my beloved shotgun or any uh... any real pistols or any optics and just lol.

However his TV is twice the size of mine and it's like being in the god drat future

It's more like you are the grownup playing among children because it's not matchmaking you based on your skill.

Has anyone parsed what "skill" drives matchmaking? If it's just the number of your rank, I didn't really notice any god drat difference in team composition based on this empirical evidence of one potatophone picture of a TV.

There's a literal "skill" value that you are assigned. You can check it on the battlefield.com stats site. Don't ask me how they determine that number though.

I remember this from BF3, I'm assuming it's an equally contrived and idiotic measure in this game because DICE!
