People have already identified the optimum gun per for each class and everyone has started to gravitate toward them. You'd think with less guns they'd have balanced them better but eh

Got my first hate mail and hacking accusation in Battlefield 1!



I guess using the tank to suppress the telegraph so the enemy team can't disarm it is camping. Bonus points, after sending that last message we made it to the last set of telegraphs, where the defenders finally get a tank. He grabbed it and rushed me, but I back away and lured him into my anti tank mines. RIP.

People have been using this boat trick to max their level and class ranks within just a few rounds. Looks like it's pretty well known by now so lots of people are on the look out to stop it with planes or gun emplacements

I love artillery truck. I love rush. I love killing snipers. I love when they spend all round shooting baby k bullets at me instead of just swapping classes and using the rocket gun.

Last night I tried the heavy tank for the first time because a dumb rear end team mate bailed out. It really sucks. Too slow and clunky. I will show pubbies the glory of the flanker and arty truck.

Watched a pubbie grab the heavy tank on the second set of objectives for grappa rush. Drives directly to the telegraph and bails to plant. Enemy steals tank and stays in the tunnel, we don't even get a single plant on that set because they're so dug in and no one is smart enough to try and overwhelm him with rocket gun slam.

I can confirm this.

Of course, is not the best tank, or the best tank killer (that would be one of the light tanks or the anty truck.

Is not because how much it kills, is because attitude. Your team hope growns to the sky when they se a fire tank rampaging trough a small town, setting everything on fire, it serve has a rally point for your team.

A testament to this great game is that I have fun with every class and vehicle of the game. I do better with tanks, but If I don't get it, I don't mind it.

Tei, your elan and warrior ethos has inspired me to be better at this game. As such, I'm sorry, but I had to one up your kills, if not your total score:


I also recorded some clips:

Fun tonight but I had the most atrocious lag, until I got sick of it and figured out it wasn't my connection, console, or any interference, so I went to the battlelog forums and read a few pages of a whinge thread about the exact same thing (i.e five people complaining about it and 100 people enquiring about game balance/frame rate issues) and then it went away :iiam:

I feel like you should have been able to throw your pistol at that guy, saving private Ryan style. Good playing with you today wuds

I need to roadkill 41 dudes, and I will be top player in one of the categories of the game :D

Edit:
I just notice the category for "horse kills" is empty, a error on this website or the game don't track that.

I believe it. I don't think I've ever seen anyone use the motorcycle. Last night was the first I've seen people really use the armored cars as well. My tank probably dissuaded them from future use though

In my opinion all "jeeps" and motorcycles need to be like 4x heavier. They bounce around like you are on the loving moon.

Also give us more jeeps. Just basic technical style vehicles.

Yea more basic transports are needed. There are some long rear end walks on some maps if your team doesn't own a flag

The range on them is no joke. I'm constantly surprised by how far they go, I always underestimate their range when I'm tanking. The splash is decent as well. Just the warning symbol on my screen from one of those being thrown is enough to make me retreat pretty far back because it's hard to see where they're thrown from if the soldier is in cover. So, throw them from farther away and from a hiding spot.

I can't say since I'm usually the tank whore getting attacked. Most the time it looks like they're being thrown in a high arch towards me, which probably contributes to me underestimating the range.

I've been using dynamite and anti tank rifle myself when I'm assault but the grenades still seem valuable

Wudsi is silent but strong. Like one of my anime waifus.

Bummed they didn't up rush player counts w the patch. 12v12 is too small and I don't like 32v32 operations, but maybe the other changes make that better. Will have to give it another shot

It's the mountain bunker point B in Monte Grappa. It has two doors leading into it, attackers have to run down a short narrow hallway to get to the door in which they are instantly gun downed by dozens of of people and blown up by grenade spam.

Here are the PC goons making the point non-contestable for the Attacker:

It's pretty much the norm now since the average player is learning that they can do this too.

poo poo sucks on rush as well. I sat in there last night as support, spamming incendiary grenades and limpets and throwing down ammo packs. Attackers could not even get in to plant.

There is also a telegraph on Quentin that is inside an indestructible windmill where you can do the same thing.

Howitzer variant is bad. Big time nerf from
Beta. If you're going to light tank, use the flanker. However, artillery truck is best option 90% of the time (i only use flanker on urban maps like amiens)

I like rush when I'm playing solo cause it's easier for tank whoring. For groups I like conquest; gave operations a shot for the first time since release last night with four us and it was a poo poo show still.
