Does anyone ever use the cavalry gun? It seems to me that the sword is much more efficient and shooting while on the run is too hard, standing still you're a target. Much easier to haul rear end, close the gap and cut them down by sword. Right?

it's really bad and the spread on it is huge but it's really funny when you headshot people with it from really far away on horseback

I also stayed with the 1tb since going up to 2tb gets cost prohibitive pretty quick and I put the original HDD in an external enclosure for more storage

I also recommend sticking with a 1tb or even 500gb drive, they're not as expensive as they used to be but still ramp up pretty quickly, and i usually find I don't need more than a few games downloaded at any given time

I feel like my bomber accuracy would increase if the little left d-pad eye thing worked for me at all. That's supposed to give you the bombadier's view from the bottom of the plane with a little reticle, right?

The way it works is if you're in first person mode and have the bombs equipped then aiming brings up the bomb sights. Pressing the d-pad eye while you're aiming down the sight will automatically dorito spot any enemies you see

I don't know what servers you're playing on, but Empire's Edge always has an arty truck that just drives back and forth across the non-ocean side of the map. As soon as it takes one hit from anything it just books it to the other side of the map. Shoots things from over there. Then comes back. Just drives back and forth the whole time. I don't think anyone ever kills it. I've tried.

My advice for dealing with a tanklord/arty truck lord is to grab a bomber. Go at a high altitude, and since good tank/arty truck players are usually taking shots from a safe distance away they're often stationary and you can easily one shot them

The thing about the landship is that pubbies mostly try to charge objectives with them, which just gets them destroyed since the gunners have zero peripheral vision. They're actually more effective sitting back and shelling from a distance. Of course in most cases you'd just be better off with an arty truck but it's pretty hilarious camping the opposing teams A/F point in Sinai with a tank hunter landship

As a question, I can't aim my bombs in the attack plane for poo poo, any tips?

when you switch to bombs in any of the planes, if you aim down the sights it actually gives you a bomb sight that shows where they'll land

I'm fine with this. Rear gunner sits on his hands doing gently caress all for most of the match, having Best Gun for those moments he actually gets to contribute is a small way of encouraging them not to treat that seat as a forward spawn point before bailing.

The new sniper is pretty fun, same with the medic rifle

the new maps are actually quite fun in operations, although the defenders are pretty heavily favored

new tank owns, the pigeon looks cool but the reality is that if you're surrounded by infantry you're probably not long for this world. The grenade/gas canister launcher one is a ton of fun though

the siege mortar is a blast, especially in ops

in the infantry only operations, instead of a behemoth the game spawns 4 crates with the trench raider, MG sentry, villar sentry, and flamethrower kit, and also a seige mortar in some spots. the crates respawn super fast BUT if you move up a sector the crates stay in the original (now out of bounds) spawn

Do spotting flares put the spotting dot over the enemy for me? Or only others on my team? Or does it just highlight people on the minimal (seriously am I supposed to have this taking up half the screen while using them)?

It puts them on the minimap and also if they are close to you there will be a little red band outline in their direction on the edge of your minimap

If you enjoy the 1895 sniper the lebel is amazing. Basically the same sweet spot range (very slightly further) but with almost zero bullet drop. It also feels powerful as hell. The reload sucks but if you're wooking it up you probably have cover you can hide behind

Both of the new operations are top tier. Devils Anvil is maybe a little too defender favored but it's such a blast and winning barely matters in this game anyway

Has anyone ever won as germans on Devils Anvil or lost as the French on the Marne operation?

I've had back to back marne ops as the French where the first match we literally swept both maps without losing a single battalion, followed by a match where we never even saw Rupture (to be fair our first behemoth was driven by someone who clearly had no idea what they were doing)

HE, play operations or frontlines, be sure you let the reticle focus before shooting so that you actually hit where you're aiming

I'll say this for Premium: it seems to attract a higher caliber of player. After two weeks of mostly close matches I've now seen all the DLC maps end in spawn trap blow outs in a single day.

When the DLC first launched for premium too it was a lot of blowouts one way or the other. It'll probably settle into normal matches soon enough
