Nerf the KE7. It’s a goddamn laser at range and I find myself easily winning cross-map snipe battles with enemy Recons, its hip fire is excellent, and I have infinite ammo. Being prone in this game has almost zero disadvantages.

I’ve never played support much but there’s a great variety of guns in this game (unlike in bf one which is trash for idiot babies) and for the support class in particular. Medic was always my top class but the combination of poo poo medic guns and great support and assault guns has me branching out. Anyway, I really love my swaghound with autocannon but I can’t wait for more dope vehicles. I want the crusader, the German 222, the Hellcat. Gotta tank em all

So what’s the point of the first two rounds of grand operations? It doesn’t matter who wins the first two, only the final round matters. The only difference is if attackers earn bonuses by winning prior rounds. But it seems pretty dumb that you can win the first two, and none of that matters if your team happens to lose round 3.

In case you hadn't noticed, I was taking the other team's IFV and there were at least two tanks right at that flag. Was just trying to book it out of there. Firing a round would've blipped me on the minimap (granted, the TOW ended up doing that, but I couldn't pass up that shot).

Remember friends, with time everything will be balanced. The devs read the reddit page, and every time a 10,000 hour recon Redditor gets killed by X, they make nonstop posts about how the game is Bad, X is OP and should be nerfed. Then the devs nerf X, Y and Z, or anything that could feasibly kill a Redditor who has wedged themselves into the map boundary such that they can't be flanked or counter-sniped. Once they can go 2-0 completely unbothered in a 35 minute conquest map, only then will the game become Good. red19fire fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jan 4, 2019 |

There are lots of snipers complaining that scope glint is too much... like, you already don’t appear on the minimap when you shoot. gently caress off with that little plateau near British spawn on Aerodrome that’s out of bounds for the Germans, too. They love sitting up there.

They love sitting up there. Yeah that poo poo is annoying and really highlights the lack of mortars or even emplaced howitzers in the game. Wouldn't it be great if one of the towable cannons was a 'target circle on the minimap' howitzer instead of a 'aim down the barrel' cannon? Plus it would give aircraft targets to bomb instead of randomly dropping on an objective and hoping to hit someone, or trying to hit tanks. I feel like aircraft are even more useless to playing the objectives or supporting infantry in this game than previous ones. I think I've only been killed by one once so far, whereas I've shot down plenty with AA guns. Finger Prince fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Jan 4, 2019 |

The junkers is the only plane I can get ground kills with and that’s simply due to the large payload. With the Stuka I’m just blindly dropping on flags with little effect. I can usually see tanks from the air but because my Stuka isn’t upgraded I can only drop one bomb at a time due to the long reload, giving vehicles plenty of time to repair. And I can’t upgrade my Stuka because I don’t get many kills with it. Haven’t tried much with the mosquito but it may be easier since it has four bombs. I still need to finish upgrading the fighters, see how they do with bombs. I agree that a howitzer would be great. I can understand removal of the mortar, even if I don’t agree with it, but howitzers or non-gadget mortars would be fine because there would only be a few. Also give us a squad call in, less expensive than the V2 and with smaller radius and damage. You could even have a smoke variant.

Planes aren't effective against ground targets because you get like 4 bombs, then you have to fly back to re-arm, and you still have to wait 30 seconds to reload. I'm seriously not digging planes after that first big patch.

Planes can eat poo poo when all they do is fight each other, not affecting the outcome of the battle below. I agree the darts in BF1 were bullshit, but it sucks when a number of the players are caught up in a dog fight that has little to no merit on the fight below.

Go for the quad 20mm upgrade and watch bombers melt away in seconds. The Blenheim isn't bad either. Not as good of a bomber as the junker but when upgraded with the extra passenger machine gun it becomes better at air to air imo.

Even then the only real advantage it has is a faster reload and a slightly faster TTK. Even then I minted and gilded it just because I enjoy it so much.

"FG-42 works ok as a close quarters weapon" is true, and it's also true that Support is the class that gets the shotguns that do a much better job at close quarters than the FG-42 (if they didn't get those it might actually serve a purpose) BTW I've minted it and partially gilded it too...it sucks. Can't tell you how many times I've been pushed and killed while reloading...there is no reason for the tiny clip AND the huge recoil.

Blenheim MKIF is balla. 8x40lbs for infantry, 2x500lbs for armour. Alternate bombing runs while the other recharges. Also easier to use on your own, as there's only one turret to switch to for defence vs Ju88. If you're playing alone it can be a crapshoot with bombing, but if you have bros playing asking them to mark/or spot targets can do wonders.

Nottherealaborn posted:What’s the best mode to play? Frontlines Small is very good. I like it for a couple of reasons: 1) There's a lot of infantry action with just a few vehicles thrown in for flavor 2) Only the attacking side needs to worry about tickets 3) But the attacking side can change over the course of the match 4) There's a time limit that you'll actually hit sometimes, which means it's relevant 5) Smaller teams but all focused on one objective means it's a little less random-feeling 6) It's actually pretty hard to completely win the mode and blow all 3 objectives at the end, so you never feel counted out. Unlike Conquest when you're at 120-340 and it's over in all but name. I'm surprised the mode doesn't get more love, it's very good.

BTW I have a legit problem with the way this game handles airplanes; the Specializations are nearly required for the planes to perform at an acceptable level and new players with no Specializations just get absolutely owned by frequent flyers with full trees. It's not helped by the fact that lots of players bail out/crash their planes during evasive manuevers when you're close to downing them...it's just painful
