I think they're good enough to play through all of them at least once. I can't say the same for BF3 & 4.

I wonder how long we'll have to wait for some winter maps, I really liked that last round of DLC for BF4 with the snow maps.

of course, the best part of winter maps for BF1 would be new soldier skins

I played Giant's Shadow three times in a row last night and won all three times, so I like it :v:

there was fog the majority of the time all three times as well which probably helped

I know people didn't seem to like the Huot but after the patch it seems like a good mid to short range LMG. The magazine is only 26 rounds which is fairly low but it's easier to get 2 kills before having to reload compared to the BAR. It feels like a laser gun with how accurate it is with almost no recoil. Ended up going 30-11 on empires edge with it

Huot is very good now, yes. Wasn't that bad pre-patch either IMO

My favorite bug introduced in the new patch, is then one where you'll just hear a random explosion sound at ear-piercing volume during the loading screen.

Maybe they did it for immersion.

Honestly kinda disappointed there isn't more proper artillery in this game a la Verdun.

I don't know if you're joking, but Sopwith built triplanes before they built the famous camel.

I'm not joking; he found an abandoned Fokker and hopped in, and the roundels changed to British automatically. Someone on the German side must have landed it and subsequently abandoned it for some reason.

That's awesome. I just couldn't tell if you were implying that the British didn't historically have triplanes. Obviously they didnt fly fokkers.

Yeah I definitely knew about Sopwith triplanes and in fact that's what I google searched to find that image. I've been a huge WWI aviatian fan since I was a little kid. In fact my senior "thesis" (english major at a private liberal arts school lol) was writing a script for a theoretical Band of Brothers-esque mini-series based off Jagdgeschwader 1.

adding to the SSD chatlog

just put one in my ps4 pro this afternoon and spent hours redownloading and reinstalling from the cloud, discs, usb, etc...
during that whole time I was wondering if it was really worth the minor bump in speed.

yes. absolutely.

after a few hours of BF1 I haven't seen a black loading screen once and I've always been the first to load into a map and have to wait for the other players to load in.


video of load time between matches:

watch the "Waiting For Players To Join" dialog at the top to see how much of a lead I get to choose a vehicle

Got a recommendation? I am interested in this.

Hate to be that guy but this is just one page ago


Before people started waving around their airdicks I was actually trying to give new fliers some serious advice. There are times to fly high, times to fly low, times to aim/scan with the bombsight and times to poo poo out some no-look darts. If you want to compete with the best pilots you have to use all your tools. I honestly spend 90% of my time in freelook just scanning for threats. In hardcore you use all 3 views and in normal you use all 4 views. If you aren't constantly switching between all of them, you're missing out. Audio is good to locate/track a tail and of course you need to be able to shoot/bomb without looking but nothing beats eyes on. The lack of constant freelook sets the meta so hard that sometimes you can straight up pause in the middle of a turnfight for a quick freelook to see where he's going and get the flip on him. It's that bad, and vaguely makes me want to try war thunder, but eh, it's just not the same when you can bail out to knife a cowardly pilot :3:

I just can't wait for the day we get to the point where we can use headtracking/VR in battlefield :swoon:

You're still the only one I've roadkilled in a triplane :bigtran:

Uhhh I'd love to see footage of this, I guess I'll log on and check? Pretty sure the other planes do the same thing as the trench fighter in the clip: by holding the fire button down after making GBS threads out bombs, the camera tracks the point of impact no matter where your plane is going. You can see my tail clip through as I complete the loop.


pssssh your only roadkill? I don't think there's enough space on mine for the killmarks :grin: (are you seriously telling me you've played this long and haven't rammed a pilot in the nuts as he pulls his chute cause you shot his plane to pieces? for shame)


Maybe it's time for me to take a cue from you and just sit on the pubbie side for a game sniping at goons :wink:

Dude check out my compilation video, I totally roadkilled some pilot while flying the bomber at Ballroom Blitz! You're just the only victim I've hit with the fighter. Which reminds me, sometime we gotta try a mid-air rescue with either an attack plane or bomber.

Liking everything, but it's going to be a while before I try Frontlines again. Played a game from start to finish and it lasted 65 minutes, and for about 45 of those it was one team pinning the other down on the last objective (before the Rush-type portion, which only took two attempts). Camping tanks galore, and we all know that in a server of pubbies it ends up being you and two other dudes actual trying to take the thing out. And the middle portion of the map is an absolutely infuriating snipe-fest.

It's a bit of a slog. I played Fort Vaux frontlines last night as the Germans and the French were kicking our poo poo in within the first 15 minutes and in fact if it weren't for me disabling the second bomb at the last second we would've lost. But over the next literal half hour we pushed them back past point B and basically had a really long and drawn out tug of war over C. And then eventually we took out their telegrams as well. Textbook comeback.

Compared to Operations, I like the former more, but it could be fun every once in a while.

The only time I lower the throttle is if the guy in front of me is trying to juke me. On the poppy map I killed the same guy using the Red Baron skin like three times in a row by matching his speed at every turn.

Also PSA to bomber pilots: for the love of God please climb and get some altitude. I think the reason pubbie pilots like to fly low is that they're not confident in their abilities to aim, and this puts them right in the crosshairs of ground-based tanks another anti-aircraft measures

If you press start while in operations after switching sides, there's no way to unpause because the pause button makes you quit. I think the DICE smiley is way overused (conceptually I think it's amazing this game even exists) but this is a pretty silly mistake.
