Can someone explain what this means?

I think it may mean that there are environmental factors that activate it? It looked like in the trailer right after he picks up the MG42 dude jumps through a hedgerow and there's a german squad in front of him. You can see a red icon pop up over their heads but just before that you hear a guy shout in German. So it seems like the character hearing the shout from the enemy team auto spotted those guys, but I could be wrong.

I'm surprised the chopper spergs didn't go over to BF1 since there is some stupid code among attack plane pilots that they won't shoot at each other, ever. Like, the game is set in 1918 not 1914 you fools

I think the panzerfaust damage to tanks is fine alone but it’s a real game changer now that people don’t show up on the minimap when shooting. Combined with the slow turret traverse speed, yes I think tanks need some tweaks before release. However, neither of the beta maps are ideal for armor.

Hopefully in the next beta we see a map with a larger vehicle footprint. I want to see jeeps and motorcycles flying all over the place. The halftracks were cool (although I hope they are just giving the German half track to the Allied side as a beta placeholder). I enjoyed the beta but I did not necessarily get that “battlefield” feel of combined arms chaos

Tanks seem pretty good to me, and that's coming from both the receiving and sending ends of the panzerfaust. The MG just annihilates dudes. My one complaint is that the suspension seems very rigid. I'm not getting the "tank tread" feel of tanks in other BF games. More like driving a tank in Call of Duty mission where it's super clunky because they don't really do vehicle combat

I really need to play with goons. I was playing last night, and someone actually started talking on the mic, then promptly told me how upset he was that game wasn't WW2 because "they took out all the nazi stuff and added all the women" and it was 100% in earnest. So I had to switch squads.

I never understood the people who have their mic on and aren't actively using it. Listening to music/yelling at their kids or spouse/rambling to themselves about nonsense get kicked from my squad.

I remember during MW2 you’d hear like, a beat coming from a stereo in the background, and then suddenly some dude would start poorly freestyling over it. And it’s just like, dude you think someone in your Call of Duty server is gonna give you a record contract or what? Please shut the gently caress up.

Also yeah, I don’t get people who have mics on and it’s just the trashiest family drama happening in the background. Dumb as hell

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 wouldn’t 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, aren’t at all prepared for someone starting a hard scissors with them and after about two or three turns, he’ll probably overshoot.

The main thing with flying in Battlefield, as in all things in this game (and irl) is to work in a team. I’m great pilot, but if someone has the drop on you in a BF game and they’re even somewhat competent there isn’t much you can do about unless you have a wingman. I’ve seen more fighter pairs in BFV working together than in probably any other BF game.

I like it even less than before.

Where is Wake island?, where are the maps with many tanks for side? Tobruk? Alamein?, even on servers with 64 players the game is quiet has hell, very few sounds and signs of life. I tried to shot with tank to a tower, and tower sufered no damage.

So this is not battlefield, this is some infantry oriented clone or some poo poo.

I am happy the game is fun for you guys, but this is not the battlefield I know.

It's kind of weird how there are different load out presets for axis and allies. I would understand if one was consistently an attacker and the other one consistently a defender, but they get swapped all the time, so instead it's just two characters you have to remember to swap weapons for

I actually really like this because I'm the one weird guy that makes sure my Allies are using Allied weapons and the Axis are using Axis weapons. I do country specific kits in pretty much every Battlefield game, and now I can set the opposite sides up and not have to worry about swapping kits around all the time.

Also, it diversifies my weapons usage so I'm ranking up like, 8 weapons instead of just 4.

But like I said... I'm super loving weird about that.

Also got into a game on Narvik last night, big thanks to Deamships who was also in that match. I felt bad because I spawned in a Spit V at the start of the match and never died, but the Axis team kept spawning in Ju-88s two at a time, and with no fighter escort, and with my teammate in a Blenheim, it was a turkey shoot. I had so much fun!

With all the frustrating things this game has, nothing upsets me more than it showing me dying on the ground clearly fully around the corner from the person who killed me. I assume it's the net code on the game but it could just be my crappy UVerse internet connection.

Also BF1 let you save and choose multiple loadouts on the fly, why can't you do it in this one?! Nothing would make me happier than being able to choose a camo patern that matches the climate I'm fighting in.

Either way though, this is a super fun game and I could see myself dropping a few hundred hours into it. :dance:

It may be the internet connection. I haven’t seen any netcode issues like being shot around corners and the like.

Then again I have a google fiber gigabit connection

IMO make it so that you death spiral pretty quickly after leaving the pilot's seat unless you are perfectly level. Pointing the plane at a 45 degree angle and then dropping the stick for 30 seconds to jump in the rear gun is not how planes work.

Enforce some teamwork for those shits.

100% agree here. I fly all the time and really have no issue being shot down by AAA, another fighter, or a tail gunner on a plane with a pilot. But the ability to insta-switch seats from the cockpit to all the way into the back of the plane is... well it's dumb as all hell. At least in BF1 you could see the animation of the dude swapping the seats and peel off, but this is garbage.

Just started playing this after getting it included in a One X bundle. First impressions are it seems much more bright & colourful compared to BF1's grime (different setting I know) that will take some getting used to.

Also the sound effects don't seem as good, maybe I have to fiddle with settings but they seem slightly muffled. I chose the Headphones preset so maybe that's just a bad preset.

Otherwise I'm liking it so far but it's hard to remember there's no spotting, when by reflex whenever someone shoots at me that I can't see I'm so used to spamming it on them. :v:

Use the 3D Headphones audio setting, also what’s your GT?

FYI: I found out last night that swapped out weapons will hang around for a while. I took a sniper overwatching the hangar on Aerodrome last night with my M1A1, then swapped out with his Krag-Jorgensen and got a couple headshots, and when I turned back around at least a minute or so later, my M1A1 was still laying there waiting for me. It honestly felt like I was in a single player campaign using whatever worked best for right then.

Game is good an fine. Needs some tweaking but I mean jesus, were talking about BF games here. BF4 was actually truly unplayable because you couldn’t launch the client, compared to that the game is fine. I don’t know how many times this has been said in this thread, but if you’re comparing BFV as it is right now to BF1 or BF4, games that have been out for years and have years worth of patches, balancing changes, and DLC, then gently caress yeah you’ll be disappointed.

Also lol at complaining about fortifications being worthless because your squad mate ran off as if that’s a problem with the game and not the people playing it. Which will be an issue in every single multiplayer game you have played or will play

I am loving the gunplay and some of the maps, but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement. I like it a lot but on top of the limited content, there are so many gamebreaking bugs right now. I really hope an update comes soon that fixes frontlines because almost every game I've played got bugged out at the bomb portion and went on forever. BF1 got me really into the large non-conquest game modes and right now the only one worth playing is Breakthrough which is getting a little old, especially since it seems like most of the players are just using that mode to try to complete assignments and not actually ptfo.

I would love to see a return of BF1's Operations mode, along with all the later-war factions and the Pacific theater, but I am super nervous that they are just going to abandon all of that poo poo. I definitely think there are the bones of a great game here and I still enjoy it, but I am worried.

I’m honestly curious what bug you’re getting that is “game breaking”

Also like, all the pearl clutching over the live service is getting really annoying. It will either happen or it won’t, you can’t do anything about it, and it’s way to early to make a judgement call. But the first drop of the live service was delayed, but they were totally transparent and admitted it was because the update was introducing bugs. They busted their rear end to fix it, did, and it’s only delayed by 24 hours. Seems like the process works.

Go play Panzerstorm on conquest. You're playing Breakthrough which is more infantry focused. All the vehicles you want to play with are in Conquest, that's just the way it is. I'm starting to think you've never played a Battlefield game because you're complaining about things that are just pretty much par for the course for any BF game.

Yeah I don’t have any issue with the new TTK. I’m in the camp that I can not tell the difference one way or the other. Also no issues with visibility. I wonder if the visibility issues are people who have their brightness turned all the way up. That will tend to wash everything out, and used to make guys stand out more, but maybe BFV was designed to nullify that (extremely dumb) advantage. Like the people that always make their games look like N64 graphics for that 10 FPS advantage. If DICE did set it up that way, it’s awesome, because those people suck rear end

Also, finally had a good match on Panzerstorm. Started in a tier 4 Valentine and chalked up two Tigers, two Panzers, and a Hanomag before I got killed. While tanks are still a bit janky, actually killing a tank with another tank right feels incredible, espc when the turret goes flying off. One time I even saw dude exiting a tank that was on fire, which cause THEM to light on fire so as the tank was exploding there were people alight from head toe running around like the panzerfaust scene in Fury. It was no-poo poo, like for real, a bit stomach churning, but I still hit 'em with the coax because they wouldn't burn for long.
