Unless you're helping out buds in which case ammo pouch as main is the correct choice

I probably get two to one rocket/melee : primary weapon kills these days

I ran out of guns without scopes to service star so I'm using the Hellriegel to unlock the defensive Hellriegel so I can unlock that and it's hysterically overpowered.

I can't force myself to use guns I don't like. So that's how I have 28 service stars with the lebel infantry. If I need to use something else I'll use the SMLE infantry.

Scopes just encourage stopping and shooting from outside the objective. If you are not inside an objective or moving to get inside one then you are playing the game wrong.

This applies even if you are using a scout rifle.

sometimes maybe good

The Armored Train:
By far this is the easiest to destroy. Unlike in the beta you can't destroy the train just by spamming mines and TNT on the track, this does minimal damage and there is a faster way. SHOOT THE TURRETS! every time you destroy a turret it loses a good amount of HP. Use your AT rockets, field guns, and tanks to take out those turrets. It will go down in a matter of minutes.

The Dreadnought:
Probably the toughest to destroy because it can stay far away from combat and has amazing self defense, this is probably the simplest to destroy. The dreadnought has 6-8 "Parts" (basically sections) that can be destroyed on both the left and right side of the ship and each Part is about 20m long and can only take about 2 torpedoes and upon destroying each part you see "PART DESTROYED 100." every time you destroy a Part it takes of a good chunk of the ship's hp. so rule of thumb DON'T SHOOT THE SPOT THAT IS ALREADY ON FIRE. The ship will sink when roughly 75-90% of the Parts are destroyed.

The Airship:
This one is probably doesn't really need much explaining because basically the entire thing is a weak spot. Destroying a gondola deals good damage but destroy different sections of the balloon also deals good damage. but the sections that can be destroyed follow the same rules as the dreadnought, once a balloon section is destroyed (torn and burning fabric) don't waste your time shooting it again.
Gondolas respawn after a bit of time and can be destroyed again for more damage

There's points along it which you can wreck with the AA gun or a pass of the bomber-killer fighter. Feels good to solo! Same deal with dreadnought too with torpedoes

Zeppelins always go down fairly quickly. Especially on Monte Grappa. I'd prefer if the accurately represented zeppelins, in that they would be so high up that no one would be able to touch them and their bombs would be so inaccurate that they're basically useless.

Scopes allow you to leverage yourself into more situations and let you go headshot wild. And lol if you think that me killing a dude while 2m away from the the objective is any different than me doing the same while in the blob of blueberries.

SMLE feels so good to reload but maybe that's just the COD feels
I only stopped using the lever action to grind out 3 million martini henry kills but the boom it makes indoors makes me chuckle every time so it's worth it :discourse:

Sniper rifle on operations owns, it's a lot more useful when the opponent is sticking to several clear lanes of attack that you can help lock down. It's pretty useless if you're playing conquest though or if you're on that attacking side in operations

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

How do you abuse auto aim? I think I was doing it accidentally with the ten-a slug by Ads right before shooting someone. Is it something like that?

Live At Five!
Feb 15, 2008
Also if your ADSing and someone runs in front of you the sights move with them a bit. It's in the options. I find it irritating but can be helpful. I got 1.5k kills with the Martini while it was bugged after launch and miss that so much. The 300 kills took me about 10 or so games, wasn't too bad. Martini sniper is not worth it though, don't bother with the grind.

I find that it'll snap to center mass if you sight in with the crosshairs near someone. I consistently get either headshots or 90 damage doing it that way.
