Nothing makes me laugh more in this game than doing hood rat poo poo in the cars and randomly hitting something too hard and exploding, especially when I take down a carload of team mates with me that think we're on the fast track to an objective.

Has anyone had a problem with the unlock requirements for the dlc gun resetting after matches? I got the 5 headshots with the 1895, and it came up on the screen above the radar that i had completed it, but when i checked the progress in the customize screen, it had reset

It's a bug. Get the periscope assists first, then the 1895 headshots. Same thing for getting the mortar kills before the 15 M1909 Benét-Mercié Telescopic kills, if I recall correctly.

Spring updates says platoons are coming back.

Some neat features: if your squad is mostly platoon members, the squad name is now the platoon name.

If your platoon helped the most in capturing the flag, the flag will display your platoon emblem.

NETCODE
Fixed jitter for spectator when movement starts.

Replaced Ping in Scoreboard by Latency for all platforms.

Players with a connection above 100ms will have to lead their shot as server side hit detection is performed, indicated by icon in upper right corner.

This should lower the hit around corner effects and impede a penalty for high ping players to hit players.

Lowered thresholds for network latency warning icons.

Latency:

Yellow 90ms
Red: 200ms.
Fixed issue with grenade unspawning when owner died. When you dropped a grenade right before you died, it previously just disappeared.

Game will now always de-spawn a corpse when the player spawns in again. (Seeing your own dead body can be scary.)

XBOX
Fixed issue where logging out on Xbox One during the first few seconds of an Operation

intro video caused a freeze at black screen after the video.

Double XP until May 2nd, and Premium Friends is back again (not sure for how long though). Oh, and that TSNP medal where the final stage was 25 tanker kills (but you had to get out of the tank) has been fixed. Now requires 25 St Chamond kills instead.

The 4 new rank 10 gun variants are up, so everyone is running around with those guns chasing 300 kills as expected. I deliberately held off using those guns until this patch so I can tick off their dog tag rewards at the same time.

That made me legitimately curious and I'm really surprised that (on PS4) the Hellriegel actually has the 3rd highest amount of kills for the individual leaderboards. It's narrowly beaten by the Martini-Henry by about 500 kills and the 1907 Sweeper is about 11k ahead. Anyone know if there are cumulative leaderboards somewhere?

Huh. Sweeper is a weird choice.

I dunno how reliable/real Battlefield Tracker is but here you go global leaderboards

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/leaderboards/all/Kills/weapon/rifle

actually this doesn't collate total kills by the look of it, but... christ there's people with 60,000 sweeper kills
