Hellriegel has been nerfed at least twice, so imagine what it was like at launch. Before, it was even more accurate at mid to long range and had less recoil. In Ops you could create your own flanks with it and free your team from the meat grinder choke points.

I haven't played in a long time, but coupled with smoke you can really dictate terms with it.

That Medic DLC gun is supremely great. Feels good to counter-snipe the hundred trillion snipers Empire's Edge, Fao and Sinai. I like the reload animation too. It's just fun to see all these weird weapons they were developing before we started getting more modern semi-autos and machine guns.

Edit: Verdun really doesn't like the German forces, does it? French get 3 points within spitting distance and direct route while the Germans get railroaded all the way to C and if they lose anything they can get pushed back to their spawn with no real recourse.

i think you missed a spot, gonna have to baste him again


e: took a quick peek at the notes, woahh:

  • Rear view while flying
  • Lots of attack plane buffs including tank hunter gun
  • Dogfighter lost quick repair (YES) and gets speed boost instead (AWESOME) and loving FLAME ROUNDS :lol:
  • Changed how max range for AA is applied. Max range now varies depending on the pitch of the gun. Shells can travel a maximum horizontal distance of 300m, and a maximum vertical distance of 450m. This applies to both the stationary AA and the AA truck. Previously AA shells timed out at the same max distance from the gun regardless of direction, resulting in a roughly spherical volume covered by the gun. This means horizontal range was as large as the max height the shells could reach, and that at very high altitudes the AA could cover very little area, even if its range was technically large. The new AA shells will have slightly less horizontal range than before at low altitudes, but they will retain that range all the way to the flight ceiling. This will make AA much more effective against high altitude aircraft without making it able to reach distant, low flying ones as well.

Also being able to repair stationaries is cool, finally get to use 3rd person view when rear gunning a landwhale

this update is kind of a sleeper, drat

Hellriegel is for fratty gently caress boys.

I've had it unlocked for weeks and have maybe 5 kills because I don't want to be associated with people who play with the most op weapon.

It's been 5 patches and they still haven't touched the hellriegel. But they've definitely nerfed grenades, something that has always been under-powered in BF games.

I guess that's what we get when they take their cues from Reddit shitlords.

They actually made the hellriegel better. It was originally 60/60 and you'd run out of ammo really quickly with it. It's now 60/120. It's ludicrous and I use it all the loving time.

If you press start while in operations after switching sides, there's no way to unpause because the pause button makes you quit. I think the DICE smiley is way overused (conceptually I think it's amazing this game even exists) but this is a pretty silly mistake.

A couple of times I recorded a clip on Xbox and it had the pause screen come up, which is normal. What isn't normal is that the UI had no indication of what tile I was on and it was lagging and it actually had me quit the game unintentionally.

ALLAH! MU'AMMAR! LIBYA WA BAS!
Huh? I just found an 64 person operations game instantly last night. I'm on PS4 and east, which is kind of the best possible situation, but I didn't even pick any operations, I specifically picked anvil of fire. Occasionally I've had to wait a few minutes, but I don't mind, since I still remember playing bf1942 on my lovely computer with 5 minute or longer loading screens, I can adjust my loadouts, and once you get the requisite players, it tends to fill up pretty quick as other players join.
I can't say I play much 32 player operations, since I've I wanted that I'd just play rush. Operations is the best for the tremendous clusterfuck that can occur. I mean, you don't think there were times when small groups of people are all crouched in a trench desperately holding on (whilst holding a point) as grenades and mortars utterly plaster the area? They used to give one guy like 20 grenades when they were trench-raiding. It can be a bit annoying, but it's hardly not realistic. Hardcore operations would be even better since then people would have worry about killing their own guys.

I was playing a round of Operations at St Quentin Scar yesterday morning. I got something like 30,000 points after all the ribbons and stuff.

We won, so there was a x2.5 multiplier.
I used an XP bonus, so x2 from that
it was a double XP weekend, so x2 from that

I had over a half million points, and levelled up once and made it more than halfway to the next level.

I did nothing something - with Operations now loading into a new round, don't pause during that game. There's a glitch where instead of going to the pause menu, it loads the previous round's end of round screen, and the only way out is either waiting for the round to finish or quitting to the main menu. It sucks.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

If you are getting the bug where you load into a new round and everything is black except the flags and such, the easy fix is to bring up options, video, then change weapon dof from on-->off. Then bring up deployment screen. It will fix it. Then switch back the dof setting. This works super quick.


I'd love to play with some goons. I'm two headshots away from the ribeye. Xbox tag MeatBishop invite me and I'll play!

Good work Dice you fully killed the fighter. The attack plane already had better guns in front and back and now it's just as manuverable and as fast.

This trick does not work 100% of the time. I tried it three times before I had to quit the game. Other weeks it's worked every time.
