Yeah, I would really like this. A directable off map artillery strike would be pretty awesome.

Or a heavy bomber carpet bomb strike.

Yeah, I really have no issue just shredding dudes with the coax.,

Here's a thread-wide PSA: DO NOT take the slugs in the Auto 12. I went from just totally wrecking dudes, to having ONE kill with it since I took that spec. They're not very accurate and the damage drop off is horrendous. The thought of grinding through two more levels with it to re-spec is really bringing me down

Idk I found the vehicles in this game pretty fast. On top of being able to drive over most of the terrain in the game and besides falling off a bridge there's not too much fall damage.

I just can't back up in any of the tanks cuz the joysticks are so drat sensitive when working them. That could be a personal issue.

I clean up a lot of players with the anti Infantry tanks because of smoke. If I got my squad in there the side gunner should be jumping out and mopping them up. The 2 seater Valentine is pretty slick too.

Yeah, the Valentine is pretty quick, but it does take a minute to get up to speed. But blasting out across panzerstorm laying waste is loving awesome

I mean it works differently than bf1. It puts a marker on the location you spot, and tells you how many metres away it is. It will change to a red mark if you spot an enemy, but it won't follow them if they move.

It’s really awesome to put a marker down on ridge line with a couple snipers on it and see a billion tracer rounds converge on that one spot

Thinking about picking this up on sale for 30 bux. I've heard a lot of negative buzz, but I really enjoyed battlefield back In the 1942 days. I've only played on PC but it's not an option now. What's the goon consensus on this game?

I feel like I'm burning out a little on call of duty and looking for something more tactical than that but isn't as serious or unforgiving as counter-strike.

What's the best way to play with goons. Everyone on my friends list is from monster hunter, madden or blops....



Please link discord or meta tag?

The game is really fun. Some stuff is a bit janky right now, but they’re ironing stuff out pretty fast. I highly recommend it.

I'm going with the La-5 because when you ask people to picture a WW2 Soviet fighter the La-5 is what they picture.

Honestly if I had my druthers it would be an La-5, a Yak-3, and a P-39. Yeah I know there's only two fighter slots right now, I still want the drat Airacobra, that thing rules (at lower altitudes and oh would you look at where all the BF5 fights take place?).to


Agreed!!!

I still gotta go with the Yak. I mean, to be totally honest I would much rather have an La-7, but you can still see Yaks at airshows, most Soviet WW2 fighters in Western museums are Yaks, and we fought Yak-9s in Korea. I think it’s probably more well known. Also so far all the fighters we have use inline engines, no Tempests or 190s, and there’s even concept art with an MC.202. But don’t get me wrong, I would much rather have those big beautiful radials.

Literally no-one is saying that, and people making nazi imagery in the emblem creator is precisely WHY we can't get a more authentic WW2 game because look at the state of it.


Basically this. It's not just the logo, it's more that the overall visual language is just missing a certain something something. I think the customisation options exacerbate this somewhat too, as Allied soldiers are a real mishmash of British and American uniforms. They look mostly period appropriate, but it's not that whole cohesive and... well, uniform... look that you expect.

BF1 nailed the visual silhouette thing, with the whole support class gets backpacks, recon had long coats/capes, medics had crutches etc. I know some people like the customisation, but going to this after having classes you could eyeball from 200 metres, AND the other stuff about it not quite looking like WW2 due to a variety of things that don't follow the expected WW2 visual language we are all familiar with, and it's just all a little off.

But still having a good time with the game, and certainly when the vehicles are in play it gets much more of the experience I want from a WW2 game. Just can't yet find a class and/or weapon that clicks with me. In BF1 I was naturally drawn to scout and support, here I'm flailing in every category. Doesn't help that I hate the Lee Enfield so I need a bolt action more to my suiting.

I miss melee kills too. So far I've only got one, and I'm peering down iron sights at long distance targets more than I expected. Combat is happening at more extreme ranges this time, chokepoints around flags excepted. I still wanna unlock bayonets for any gun that can fit them, because I will not let that die in 2019.

I absolutely do not understand people that say "it doesn't look like WW2" because it absolutely does? I mean, the base uniforms for the sides (which most people have equipped) are pretty much spot on British/German uniforms. There's the sound of Merlins and Db.601s filling the air, panzers and churchills. A dude yelling at you in a german accent, etc.

Also please explain to me why there should be gigantic red (I'm assuming red since you're describing a german airfield) banners flying everywhere and hanging off everything on aerodrome? Like do you really think that there would have been huge banners hanging off the sides of the hangars or something? Because despite what you see on the history channel or in a call of duty game that happened exactly never.

It cracks me up when people drag on about what WW2 "looks like" and then you find out that their idea of what WW2 looks like is entirely informed by stuff like Inglorious Basterds or Wolfenstein 3D or something.

I can’t wait to unlock the Webley but is it anywhere near as fun as the No.3?

Also breakthrough games for attackers are about to get much better with squad reinforcements getting buffed with call in artillery and smoke rounds. Imagine like 4 squad leaders getting together and coordinating layered smoke and HE. Probably won’t ever happen but drat, the possibilities.

Yeah we know, we also don't care that you don't like the game, man. I'm sorry you don't but we're all in here talking about playing the game that's been out for three months. By now, if you aren't having fun you should have realized that and stopped playing.

Support weapons for me begin and end with the Auto 12 with slugs right now. Finally got the slugs figured out. You can still reliably OHK dudes in close from the hip, and with the headshot damage multiplier it's basically the drilling only better in every possible respect except damage drop off, and even that isn't too bad with the slugs because the Auto 12 holds five rounds to the drilling's 2x1 and it's semi auto. If you haven't tried this yet you're really doing yourself a disservice.

I used to play BF1 with a former Army marksman (his platoon leader at one point had been Robert Bales :stare:) and he would send me forward on the map and he would sit back on a field gun firing at max range and I would talk him on to the targets. It was actually pretty cool.

That will happen with all grenades. I get more damage from just beaning dudes in the face with the impact grenades than the actual explosion from them.

Also, the bolt action carbine that the medic gets is loving radical. It even has an attached grenade launcher, poo poo is for real.
