Why does the mans grab the top bullet in the stripper clip when he's loading it?

Dunno how true it is but according to the bf mosin nagant wiki page it's to "press down the remaining rounds to prevent malignment of the bullet rims, which was a common problem with real life 7.62 Russian ammunition"

It's not for rimlock. Rimlock can happen on basically any round except the last one and it's a pain in the dick, although it's most common on the top one.

You do that finger thing to eject the stripper, which is shown in the animation. Here's video of some guy explaining and demonstrating.

Do they have plans on nerfing the hellreigel? Because holy poo poo, 9 out of 10 assaults use it and I get killed from ridiculous ranges. Right now progressing through assault unlocks and only like shotguns so I see why it's popular, I grabbed it from the ground and is straight up better than anything.

The Hellriegel is easy mode for people with genetic thumb disorders. They'll nerf it if good players start using it.

The Hellrigel and A10 Hunter have been the most overpowered assault weapons since the game came out, don't expect them to change now. It is pretty infuriating to die over and over again to them, though

I'm a newbie in BF1 but a veteran in battlefield games (played every of them since 1942) and it screams OP. Recent memories of AN-94/M60 from Bad Company 2, M16a3 from BF3 and AEK from BF4.

At least they're buffing LMGs so I'll trade some deaths after the patch.

After several hundred hours of gameplay, here's how 80% of your deaths will go

Assault player, between levels 14 and 98
Using the Hellriegel or A-10 Hunter with between 3 and 78 services stars
Ping somewhere between 80 and 160
Logo is either default, or has a skull, cannabis leaf, or number 69 somewhere in it
Will appear to aim down sights about 40% of the time on kill cam

The SMG 08/18 factory is a better hellreigel IMO

Dear snipers: gently caress off with your bullshit already. I don't mean on the opposing team, I mean on mine. You are doing gently caress all as evidenced by your score and also us losing and being at the back of the map in our own turf doesn't really make you a great spawn point. Thank you for your time.

Oh, having 2 and 3 snipers in a group owns.

Do better than smokes. Bring limpets and blow up all the cover that's inevitably around them. Also do that to tank snipers who sit way behind your lines instead of pushing.

Speaking of limpets, I've been having a lot of fun recently tossing them into enemy-held buildings and racking up kills off the debris. If you haven't tried this as Support, you should. Limpets will basically demolish any small building in one stroke.

Are any of the specializations worth unlocking other than the one that keeps you from being spotted by flares when moving slowly? They all seem kind of lame. There isn't even one to get more magazines. Thats like perks 101. How are they so bad at this basic stuff?

The medic ones are pretty cool, except that the smoke one just randomly activates when a nearby teammate dies, not when you actually revive them.

Apparently when you play as the communists, the "Russian kit" doesn't count. I need 25 kills with the Russian sniper kit, and I had to switch teams to get them. I was using the Mosin-Nagant infantry.

I'm only rank 50 and the Hellriegel counts for 60% of my deaths, being another 20% a random sniper doing nothing at the other side of the map and the 20% left a mix of other stuff.

they really have become much less functional, it's very sad. I also never saw the community express a need or desire to nerf explosives, Dice just up and did it because welp!

I think Dice have been working really hard to make tanks effective. In BF3/4 one support guy could run out, toss C4 on a tank, run away and blow it up no problem, to say nothing of the days where we'd use a laser designator and hit every tank simultaneously with 3 javelins the second it left its spawn.

I ended up getting on opposite teams with a friend and we knocked those all out in a round after spending the better part of a week and only getting 2 or 3 tripwire kills. Explosives nerf just makes no sense.

which is weird in the BF1 setting considering tanks were... less than perfect at the time and played a late / small role in the conflict at large.

Also ignores the idea that you could just you know. Add more armor to tanks? If they're not surviving! My impact grenade shouldn't be more dangerous than an anti-tank grenade to infantry none of this poo poo was like, technologically mastered or shaped charges or whatever, like, an anti-tank grenade in 1917 was just like a Regular Grenade Except Bigger!

Most of the weapons were kind of jerry-rigged in the era anyway, the anti-tank grenade is just 6-8 regular grenades wrapped around a half a baseball bat. It's insane that 3 bundles of dynamite only does like 60 damage to the heavy tank. not sticking to vehicles is enough of a nerf.

All this supports my theory that :dice: only listens to the 'community' via reddit, which is full of just the worst tanklords and edge campers, aka the toxic, worthless part of The Community. It's the snipers who hide on the hills of Grappa plinking and going 6-1 from 200m away, mad that they're getting merked by rocket guns.
