drat, that artillery truck owns. A bit hard to aim with the artillery gun, but once you get the hang of it it's awesome. Took down some planes and other tanks with it. It also helps that you can repair yourself if you get hurt.

The real question is, can you derail that motherfucker with enough AT mines?

I dont see why not, last time it spawned, I was the only idiot taking it on with a light tank but scoring mucho points for hitting it with shells. I have yet to see any pubbies organize quickly enough to blow it up though.

Just had the most retarded match, a full game and the opposing team didnt capture a point until we had a score of 120, me and some guy ran around in a tank unopposed the entire round, ended up with 56 kills and some 70,000 points and i reached rank 30 :wooper: gettin real tired lf the desert though

I like the image you consistently generate of a squad of guys in a pickup truck driving around shooting guns in the air and whoopin' it up. Need to start playing with the bone crew.

It's basically true except for the few recent matches where I think our non-krew teammates were griefing and driving the cool tanks into the middle of the loving desert never to be seen again. That poo poo sucks.

But other than that yeah it's mostly hijinks like such:

Man, I have no idea how to aim with the bomber. It would also be nice if the game told me what the difference between the bombs is, instead of showing me 2 weird icons.

EDIT: holy gently caress, that anti tank rifle at E owns so hard:stare:

Is it a bug that you can't invert your vertical flight controls? Just hopped on an empty server to practice a bit but I can't really get the hang of it for now. The different types of planes are cool though. A firebomber or a rocket shooting attack plane? Hell yeah!

I've probably spent more time playing sniper in this than I have in bf3&4 combined because it's good shooty feels to run around with the unscoped bolt action rifle

Can I take the scope off the gun to just have an iron sight on a bolt action? That would tickle my fancy. I can't figure it out though

Yea that's the one. It's pretty quick on the bolt pull and kills in two shoots. Very accurate as well.

Dice pls give me a bolt action on the medic and a Mauser c96 sidearm and I'll buy your game

Inverted flight controls is non-inverted/default for some dumb reason.

Huh, pretty sure I changed the setting and nothing happened. Will try again tonight.
Also ran in an annoying bug where my support class suddenly had a single shot machine gun and there was no way to change it.

I ran into a bug yesterday. Was on an anti air gun and a tank parked itself on me. I, being an idiot, kept firing on the tank parked on me. I died. Then I noticed in death I could keep firing the aa gun.

Blew up that tank and then some.

This game's pretty good. I'm having more fun (and doing better??? :shrug:) playing the beta on PS4 than on PC. It helps that my guns actually seem to be more effective on the PS4 for some reason.

my ps4 experience is that the game is good during the fleeting momenets when i can actually get on a server and its not lagged to poo poo.

I haven't played bf betas/demos since the bf2 so i dont know how hopefull to be that they resolve this stuff for the launch?

It'll probably be okay at launch but still a buggy laggy mess. That doesn't matter though because the game itself is supposed to be fun and not some weird simulator that a lot of people want it to be for some dumb reason

I dont want it to be a simulator I just want it to be playable most of the time, staring at a "can't connect to EA's servers" screen isn't very fun.

He's not commenting on your game play. He's saying you are tedious, obnoxious, and unfun people to be around. Hope this helps.
