The only improvement I've noticed after the patch is that instead of freezing on a blank screen every time I quit a match it freezes on the background image of the results screen instead.

:) game has everything

flaming dirigibles belly flopping on the cutest goddam tanks you've ever seen

flaming melee kills and being killed and then getting back on your horse covered in soot
(although I really, really wish you could get the melee animation when shivving people on stationaries)


p.s. has anyone noticed that you'll be flying with gunners and the in-game dudes will generally chatter like infantry about good kills and losing objectives and poo poo but after something particularly crazy (not sure what ??) happens, they completely flip the gently caress out for like a minute straight, and it's amazing? but I have no idea what they're saying cause it's in turkish? ok maybe I need to dig up a video


Anyone know if there are translations of the poo poo your guys will say in all the different languages? i swear I turned on subtitles but I don't think that makes a difference

There is an audio setting that makes your team speak English regardless of their faction.

It's really baffling to me that they would lock so many interesting little guns behind the Tanker and Pilot classes when the whole point of those classes was to limit what you could do if you abandoned your vehicle.

Good software is designed, bad software grown organically with changing specs.

Maybe the idea was to have a group of weapons shared by all classes, so once you unlock the weapon Foo for tanker, you could use that weapon has scout or medic.

The game really could use a carbine class of universal weapons.

The Rank 10 Support gun is pretty alright. I haven't gotten a chance to try out the C93, though.

C93 is great. I've got three service stars with it. It does a bit less damage than the 1911 but it fires faster, has 8 +1 rounds, good range, and almost no recoil.

Any Scout tips for someone who is bad at aiming? Like good positions on maps, ways to get good and things like that. The guns look real fun on the Scout but since I can't hit anything I always feel pretty useless then switch to Support and use guns where I don't have to aim.

I found it helpful to use a rifle with iron sights and start with 1.0 zoom as it seemed to throw me off less when I initially ADS. Also try a really low sensitivity on the sticks and work up until you find something you're comfortable with (I use 20%). Keep uniform aiming sensitivity on.

Beyond that it just takes a lot of practice. Shame this game doesn't have a test range but if you can find an empty server you can run around trying lanes, finding good lines on objectives and practicing snap shooting at windows or whatever.

I like all the maps so far. Having played Operations a lot now though I will say they all seemed to have been designed with that mode heavily in mind. Lots of long straight paths with maybe a few areas tacked on the sides.

Operations owns so that's cool but it be nice to see a few more well rounded maps. I agree with finding parts of a map you like but there's a big chunk of almost every map that's kind of boring and empty.

The artillery truck has the best mounted machine gun in the game.

Why don't more people see this thing as a threat yet? As soon as I get in a tank it starts raining AT grenades. If I get the truck I'm 15 kills deep before anyone even looks at me.

Is there a consensus on "best" weapons for each class? Or is it a pretty balanced "use whatever you like" type situation?

The only real best as in objectively better than the others is the 10-A Hunter shotgun.

Everything else is workable once you get a feel for where it performs best.

M1903 Experimental. It's equipped with a Pedersen device, which was developed but never deployed during the war. The device converts the rifle to fire semi-auto from a 40 round magazine of pistol ammunition.

The sights on it suck and you have to be really close to out run any other gun.

If you're the squad leader and try to spot while you're looking in the direction of a point you'll automatically order your squad to attack that point.

For Assault leveling focus on taking out vehicles (with your weapons, AA guns, and field guns) and always be the squad leader giving orders if you can. Even if no one is following your orders keeping a defend order on a safe objective is worth a lot per match. Assault is definitely the slowest since you don't have any easy hand out points from packs or spotting.

Dice please make it so when you hit level ten pilot class you can use those weapons on any class because that would be cool and they aren't over powered and i want to use them but I don't want to be a bailing poo poo lord. And maybe it will make pubbies learn not to be poo poo at vehicles (nah)

Those guns should just be a universal carbine class with lvl 10 unlovks.

I put this 2TB hybrid drive in my PS4. I think it provides a good mix of price, storage, and speed. I can have all the games I want installed and I still load BF4 maps before everyone else.

You can find the 1TB version of this for 70.00... I hate the idea of needing to upgrade a console but the idea of a guaranteed arty truck every round and double the storage for a bit more than the cost of a new game is really tempting.

do you guys ever splurge on Superior battlepacks or do you just spend your scraps on the 200 ones?

I want the Edelweiss but I already got the gold skin for m1912 pistol (Habsburg or whatever) twice :(

I saved up 5000 scrap until I saw a SMLE skin I wanted, bought five superior packs trying to get it and got the same pistol skin five times in a row thus cementing my position of gently caress random loot forever.

Skins and customization are only cool when you have to do something to get an item. Things like X service stars or finishing a medal or assignment should grant skins. Handing out random chances via a randomly accruing currency is not interesting or motivating.

None of the infantry or carbine scout rifles make you come out of ADS to work the bolt. The 95 marksman is the only scoped rifle that lets you stay ADS while working the bolt, but the 95 doesn't have a sweet spot.

E: the Gewher 95 not the Russian.

Nothing is really OP at the moment or really a must have other than the Helrigel at rank 10 Assault.

At lower levels you'll be earning bonds every couple of matches and by the time you aren't you'll have more than you can spend.

Buy whatever sounds fun and shoot it at the other team.
