I am turbo-confused.

I normally buy all BF games, but I was skeptical with this one. This confusing is released/is not relased is stealing the thunder from the release date.

Here it shows that can be pre-ordered.
https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP0006-CUSA08724_00-BATTLEFIELDV0000

So, is not released yet?

It's the 15th (?) For the special edition, 20th for the standard edition, a week ago for PC origin access unlimited or 10hrs trial for xbox. It's :psyduck:

I went with the upgraded turrets on the ju88 and it shreds fighters. I’ve been seat swapping and have been able to survive fighters and shoot them down on occasion.

Just wait until people realise how fast a mosquito with the 20mm upgrade shreds bombers.

I havent had a problem with the snow maps so much as the bright desert ones, particularly Hamada during the first part of Grand Operations. Dont know if its something in the settings, but that part just feels like glare about half the match, unless youre down in the artillery positions.

I just cant figure out the fighters but holy hell does the mosquito murder me every time. The 109 pairing guarding a Ju-88 is also hell to go up against if you dont have a good team all focusing on it. Even then its difficult.

Yeah I still haven't got the hang of dogfighting in this game. Once someone is on your tail it seems like you can't shake them.

Speed is the name of the game for dog fights.

You'll never shake a decent pilot with full speed turns. High speed means you're covering more ground, lower speed means you cover less ground, allowing for tighter turning.


I like to slow down and initiate a tight turn, especially if they are right on my rear end. I usually have luck shaking tails by peeling out of the turn, and losing them over some mountains and ridges.

I was chasing a bomber last night and he just kept doing turns near the resupply point so he could keep getting his instant repair back. Gave it a shot in fighter v fighter and works well. Still have to basically out turn or somehow lose the tail but does give you more survivability

I wouldnt recommend slowing down before the turn. If it works for you, great. But the turn is going to bleed pretty much all of your airspeed off so you want to enter the turn as fast as possible and try and maintain as much of that energy through the turn as you can.

Also learn how to do a simple flat scissors maneuver. Most guys, even really good BF pilots that will take you into the vertical, arent at all prepared for someone starting a hard scissors with them and after about two or three turns, hell probably overshoot.

The main thing with flying in Battlefield, as in all things in this game (and irl) is to work in a team. Im great pilot, but if someone has the drop on you in a BF game and theyre even somewhat competent there isnt much you can do about unless you have a wingman. Ive seen more fighter pairs in BFV working together than in probably any other BF game.

Yeah I suppose I'm just used to being able to turn much sharper without losing as much speed in bf1. It also kinda sucks how fragile the smaller planes are. Sometimes I'll get hit for around 4 damage and it will knock out a wing, which is a death sentence.

I havent had a chance to play enough to get them unlocked (saw a dude who was level 47 last night, disgusting). Id drop by the PC thread and ask Symetrique. Hes pretty much the BF flying guru.

Get the Model 8 by capping points. It is a SLR. While not amazing in close-range it handles medium range fine. Dropping spawn beacon and carrying smokes makes recon fun to play for those of us who actually want to take part in combat.

Next SLR is ZH-29 which easily carries you to level 20.

Or just steal a gun.

This. I hated recon until getting the ZH and it's basically a cheat code for kills with the 3x scope.

Pro tip: you can level up classes quickly if you get on the AA in an operations map that has the paratrooper spawns.

Knocking out a plane is worth 500 plus whatever kills you pick up. I leveled up three times as Recon in one round.

I am loving the AA though.

Had a round as the Germans and shot down 5 Mossies and 3 Spitfires. The other team kept sending hit squads after me.

It was glorious.

How the hell do you all get planes so regularly? I can snag maybe one every two matches and then get instantly shot down because you can't practice when you get 30 seconds in a spitfire every two hours

Firing Range launches 12/4. Hopefully you can do it with friends. A few of the Xbros want to practice spotting for bombing runs.

Yep, there's several of us playing! You might have better success with the battlegoons community though, since platoons aren't fully implemented yet.

As far as I can tell none of the big FPS games play cross platform.

The only games that do tend to be are Rocket League, Fortnite, various MOBAs and MMOs.

Did they somehow make the game sound even better?

BF1 was complete boring as hell garbage that wishes it was anywhere near as much fun as 3/4. BFV is a modest improvement over BF1. Infantry combat is better. Armor is still terribly un-fun to play and gimped to all hell.

It seems like everything that should be reasonably powerful is weak as hell. I've broadsided tanks with the rocket and done like 20 damage. 3 dynamite packs AND a rocket got me 56 damage on a tank. But somehow reddit thinks the rocket is OP?

I'm glad :dice: spent so much time developing this stupid hitching system, so that pubbies can leave all the extra AA and artillery in the spawn.

Building fortifications is fun, but it's a waste since most people don't stick around to defend. I'm basically building cover for when the other team comes to take the point.
