Medics have a complicated relationship with BFV

On one hand their guns are garbage their gadgets are garbage and their outfits are ugly

On the other hand every player has to wait at least 5 seconds before skipping the revive so you actually can drag pubbies kicking and screaming to victory more consistently

I've found the medic gadgets (namely smoke nades & smoke launcher) to be super useful in attack/defend gamemodes like Breakthrough to break a stalemate. Also popping a smoke on dying teammate in an exposed position can make all the difference in regards to whether you revive them without dying as well or not.

Agreed with the guns though, I can't stand SMG's and unlike BF1 there's no alternative. :(

Just got the swedish reward gun, and the stats on it are garbage. I haven't seen many people running around with it, so is it actually good? I've finished playing for today, so I'll try it out Soon(tm), but just interested in hearing others.

I had a round of grand ops that finished in a tie and the tiebreaker was a round of TDM with no respawns.

I've been trying it out, it seems like it could be decent. It fires pretty fast and has an ok magazine for a repeater. Damage isn't great though, so you need to dump a few rounds into someone to stop them. I think I prefer it to the M4, but usually with assault I've been sticking to the ribeye. I haven't got many weapon unlocks yet for assault.

I see no reason to use the new assault weapon. It feels similar to the M1A1 but with with fewer rounds and a worse reload (until you get the detachable mag specialization). Assault has so many great weapons that it just doesnt feel all that useful. I would never choose it over the selbstlader 1916.

I finally got it recorded just to confirm it wasn't happening when I was blinking.

There's a glitch where a tank won't show as available in the spawn menu even if you're sitting there staring at it, waiting for it to appear. It happened 4x in a row last night that I'd be waiting for a tank, only for it to never show as a spawn option and instead a brand new tank rolls out of the spawn point to quickly die from pubbiedriveritis.

I’d like the tank destroyer half track much more if the driver had a weapon. Could even be a machine gun if giving it the main gun is too much. Most people don’t want to sit in it anyway and seat swapping is a pain, plus the risk of some pubbie stealing it like you mention.

It's a pretty rad truck though. Definitely something I could see being abused by a goon team.

I did really like one of the mechanics of the commander role in BF4, which was that you could cycle through speaking to Squad leaders. Really loving dope.

Stupid question, what game mode is Airborne? The Fallschirmjägaer: joining the elite assignment calls for it.

E- also lol "hopeful trainees were volunteers and they had to complete six successful jumps to earn their place in this select unit".

It begins. I only wish I didn't have to play so cautiously to post numbers. Vehicles are more fun than BF1 but still boring as poo poo to play.

Not sure which game this is from since I only just saw it, but I probably died 5 times total in the tank all night, and all I did was tank so I understand the rage.

Some great games of frontlines last night, including an epic struggle where we got pushed all the way back in Rotterdam, then pushed all the forward to finally take the win.

I don't know what's in Donkey's syringe but whatever it is is so potent it revived me twice (after a brief seizure the second time)!

The other two parts can only work on two of the maps where the sides line up. I shot down transports on the Rotterdam op.

Agreed, friend. Who can forget the horrible gunplay, poo poo maps, and boring vehicles of BF1? At least it introduced grand ops to the series, we can always remember it for that. Thankfully bf v has a big future ahead of it with even more maps, armies, weapons, vehicles, and game modes. Plus the devs are surprisingly responsive to community feedback. No need for us to remind ourselves how much worse bf one was because we all remember thats why we stopped playing it so soon compared to the rest he series. Luckily you can always just go back to BF1 by yourself instead of dropping in every few weeks to remind us why it’s bad.

For real though BF1 was my favorite Battlefield game. I loved just about everything about. BFV exposed the gently caress out of it though. It improved on everything and even the tiniest little tweaks changed the game for the better. Just the base movement and gunplay feels so much more satisfying and good riddance spotting.

Had some fun games yesterday, fallen in love with the Gewher 43. That thing just knocks people down so easy.

Also, I love how so many people are creating their own misery due to the fact that women, or "femoids" as the incel community likes to refer to them are in the game. "WHATS NEXT?! TRANSGENDER BLACK PEOPLE?!".
