I realized playing at a 20 for mouse sensitivity was probably holding me back and moved it up to 70. God help me, I'm so bad now. Did I make the right move?

That’s extremely high unless your mouse is at like 100DPI.

Just had my best game ever. Played as medic and got my first jb-2 or w/e call in. We lost every single day because of my awful team...

Especially on front lines where 2 full squads of snipers sat in the church on twisted metal which is 3 feet from the capture zone while we almost captured it without their help. Then some famous pubg streamer joined the other team and they took all our objectives in one go.

Oh well I did some cool medic stuff I guess.

Do you happen to know if it was shroud? If so I might have seen that

- Stay away from the church. Yes, on both maps with a church.
- As was said, cap the points the pubbies are ignoring and keep moving from ignored point to ignored point.
- Have a medic with smoke.
- Don't split up.

Is the assignment for Airborne mode completely broken or is it just me? I've tried the "Down 5 Transport planes as an Allied soldier" about half a dozen times now, and it never once counted. The alternative would be planting explosives with your squad as Axis, but that only seems to happen once in a blue moon.

Big issue with the game: I can't do my normal control scheme of melee to mousewheel up and primary/secondary swap on mousewheel down. It bugs out the melee if I try so I have to pick between stabbing or swapping and gently caress you game.

I always go with primary on mousewheel up and secondary down and works perfectly since BF3 (in BC2 I had to use an external app to macro the wheel to key buttons).

BF4 had terrible server connection issues and all sorts of netcode issues. BFV has all sorts of dumb bugs, but at least you can play.

Well, not with the menu disappearing bug, but yeah, it took like six months at least to fix the worst BF4 issues and another six to balance a whole range of things. BFV is comparatively solid.

Alternatively, stay with and support the main pubbie zerg and drown in points and revives and actually win. Only break off when it looks like the meat grinder is in full effect and your team needs a new approach.

All central points are a trap, sometimes the entire team will defend E on Arras and while it feels good to hold the town it ultimately isn't worth any more than other points.

The medic guns are kind of meh unless you're playing super close and getting the jump on the enemies, then the Sten is solid for putting bullets on heads but be aware it's not a dang assault rifle and you're gonna need like 6 clean hits on the dome to drop someone.

I feel like the Lewis gun is better than KE7 in everything but hip fire and even hip fire on the Lewis is still 'ok' compared to MG34.

Hip fire smg medic is the run and gun stuff though. Just turn your sensitivity down low and you'll get used to it, okay yeah you don't have the neuroplasticity of a 15 year old but you also cant play games all day, which is way more inportant for building skills than being young. If you just play the game and learn positioning and have good aim skills to back it up, then you'll do way better than human aimbot children with excellent aim skills just durdling about.

I found out that Field repair on my Bomber is just worse than emergency repair. Fixing the wings/engine doesn't really help much since I can't win a dogfight. I gotta level this thing up to 4 and start the entire progression over just to fix this mistake?

Yup. Your choices are locked in until you can reset.

You don't grind exp all over, you just switch immediately. You just need four to reset the choices.

The Lewis gun is a really well rounded LMG. 10% bullet speed, both recoil upgrades and stability is awesome.

Shhh. My Common Sense is Tingling



We had this talk in the COD PC thread, I used to think I was too old and slow and moved to playing mostly on consoles, then after playing Overwatch I converted to a low sens, and it made a huge difference. I doubled my SPM in BF1 from what I had on PS4. I'm using 1600dpi and 3 sens, 89% zoom.

Talking about sensitivity is kind of pointless given all the variables. What matters is your 360 cm/inches, which is at least a tangible measurement.

Man, after tooling around with the Churchill's 95mm howitzer for a bit, and :iia:. Most of the tank guns feel kinda mediocre against infantry, but with that thing you just go PHHUMP and watch an entire building get obliterated.

I hope the Germans get something comparable eventually. Come to think of it, the StuG would be a great fit (considering the Brits already have something comparable with the Churchill Gun Carrier), since you could have a sidegrade into a StuH with the 105 mm gun:

It's my favorite, especially with the expanded mags which hold about a hundred bullets for just hosing someplace down. I've seen people seemingly trying to catch me in a reload cycle get up and rush me, only to find another fifty bullets immediately coming their way.
