You up for some serious plastic surgery?
Can someone please tell me what control feature I need to adjust so that I don't feel like my look speed is going the speed of light since this update?

I had to drop my look sensitivity by 20% to have the same feel as pre-update, what the hell?

I don't really think the hellregiel is that OP. It's just overused tbh. Same goes for the model 10-A hunter. The other shotguns have more potential if you use them right it's just easier to use the 10-A.

The Hellrigel is pretty loving easy to use. You can take on multiple opponents with it (uncommon feature in BF1), it has a giant magazine, the recoil is very forgiving, it hip fires decently, the range isn't bad especially with its rate if fire...

if thats the case then why don't you see as many players, if not more, with anything near the amount of service stars for the other assault class weapons that they had to use on the way to unlocking it? or any class for that matter? even when some autism charioteer or tank lord is dooking on your team there's still probably someone in the match with more hellreigel stars

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


You only need 2-3 service stars per gun to get to the Hellriegel. Also you can get points for assault just by blowing up armor. It's not strictly tied to bullet kills.

We're talking about the "Platoons" thing which was just introduced with the Spring patch, though. I think they're basically the same thing as communities/clubs, but in-game.

Yeah, search for Butt Clan on PS4. Also make sure that you represent the platoon; it doesn't automatically make you rep a platoon when you join one.
I'm a little disappointed that the platoon flag doesn't actually replace the main flag on a point, it's just a tiny little pennant below the team flag.

I use the MP-18 because it is easier to use than the Hellreigel. :shrug: The only smg that has a worse recoil pattern is the automatico, although to be fair there aren't many smgs in the first place. The only thing the Hellreigel really has going for it is a decent rate of fire and a big rear end magazine.

Got to try the Hellregiel defensive last night when someone switched kits with me to revive me. It seems like an lmg without the accuracy. Unless you use the bipod of course.

Oh in that case I'll make one here as soon as my game finishes updating. Will also be called Butt Clan for consistency's sake and my lack of creativity.

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

I used to see a lot of sweepers back in the new year, not as much, but there was a resurgance to get the new weapons. I think why it was so popular is that it has a large magazine and its fairly accurate. It doesn't need a lot of skill to get kills with.

Man, played in an open ps4 goon community party every night this past week during PST prime time and zero people joined up.

Can anyone recommend actual active communities of BF1 players?! I see these groups of dicks on the other teams sporting clan tags now and I know why the team I'm on has a hard time. Very little teamwork.

You'll probably have better results adding players that are still active and sending out invites if you see them on rather than expecting people to join a party on their own.

I'm usually on around early afternoon in Pacific time so that might not work out often but feel free to add Backup_Snacks on PSN.

There's no way to invite players to platoons from what I can see.

e: you can with Xbox live clubs though, I've invited everyone from the list in the op

Welp finally unlocked the Selbstlader 1906 sniper and drat it's accurate as hell. I knew the gun was accurate but you don't realize how much until you have a decent scope on it. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the marksman or sniper variants of the medic rifles.
