well I don't know how I kept missing this thread but I'm tired of rolling by myself

signed up for the xbox form in the OP, GT is TheGohnComplex

I enjoy heals, resupplies, revives, and driving around mini tanks while singing the Thomas the Tank Engine theme in my head

Anyway, maybe I'm missing it but is there a way to filter for hardcore on the server browser? I'd like to do some hardcore domination, hardcore conquest was just painful for me

oh yeah, wanted to get some input on the 10-A Slug variant. I'm not quite sure what the hell the point of it is - the range is OK, but often even if you hit in the torso it's doing damage in the 80s and usually is a 2-hit kill even at close range. The range isn't much better then the regular shotgun or hunter variant. I feel like it should be similar to slugs in BC2 where if you're going to use the drat thing it should have a lot better range and be stronger up close since it's harder to use than the regular shotgun

Yeah they were a bit broken in that regard and people use to abuse them in hardcore because it turned the SPAS or Remington into a one-shot death machine from across the map

I'm OK with drop and damage falloff, but I feel like if you blast a dude from 10 feet away with a slug it's probably going to do more damage than 80 or whatever

e: So playing with it currently. Near point-blank torso shots do consistently 92-93 damage. It doesn't one-hit kill unless you headshot. It has a narrow aiming range, so you have to be pretty precise, and the time between shots makes it so that you're basically hosed if you run into a player with 100 health. Probably gonna set it aside unless it gets adjusted because it's really frustrating to land shots and then die immediately afterwards.

Last night the sole microphone interaction I had was a guy burping loudly multiple times after the match ended. I quit after that.

War pigeons is really fun, btw. Super dynamic game mode and you get to explore some really unused parts of maps.

God drat a bad pubbie squad can really ruin your poo poo. I was going for the Assault medal dynamite kills on Empire's Edge and the enemy was piled behind one of the metal doors that leads to a bunker. I throw down my dynamite, press the plunger, and then my squad mate that has not done anything somehow decides to drop a mortar, detonating my dynamite and getting a 5-person multikill. Then I got shot in the head with an antitank launcher and decided to quit.

Ahhhhhhhh

That's why I play Domination and War Pigeons most of the time. Smaller maps, infantry based, a little more fast-paced than a Conquest/Operations/Rush slog.

I foolishly continue to refuse to use the 10-A except for Slug because I hate myself

So wait the martini is worse? It's great, but a 3 second reload on a one-round rifle is already a huge disadvantage.

They decreased the damage multiplier on most limbs.

E: looks like our will still be OHK to torso or upper body at 30-80 m or whatever it's sweet spot is.

As an anti-personnel weapon it's OK. It's pretty poo poo against vehicles, does like 8 damage per shot against heavy vehicles.

OK, I feel like my class rank ups are going excruciatingly slowly. I hit rank 10 medic pretty quickly, but have been struggling with the other classes. Even Support, which now has the most kills of any of classes and that I am resupplying constantly is going so slowly, I'm only at rank 6 and am level 52. I play the objective, consistently score decently... am I missing something?

Laminator

Yeah, I get that, it just feels incredibly slow for the other classes. I think I got rank 10 medic at like the mid 20s, and then haven't hit rank 10 on anything else despite being > 50 now. Feels weird.

yeah looking at my score total per kit I just managed to get a ton more points with medic, makes sense. I just want the Hellriegel :(

Have big game modes like Conquest and Operations become worse for anyone else since the patch? I feel like there's so much rubber banding with other players and instant deaths that all I do is spawn and die over and over again.

What zeroing distance do you run around with? I was playing with 75 a lot unless i had a flag to gauge the distance and id change from there. 75 felt ok but it was a little tough at times to change on the fly based on what i thought they were at. I guess that's the point.

If you're going to be useful just use an infantry class and run iron sights or the short-range scope. You don't need to mess with zeroing distance with that.

I finally unlocked the Kolibri, and that gun is so loving ridiculous. I love it.

Bought the Gewehr 95 carbine, hoping it was a straight upgrade to my beloved Gewehr 95 infantry and ugh it has those garbage obtrusive sights which are a low power scope(?). Instant regret. I have unlocked the Martini Henry, and it's fun (and what a noise), but no other scout gun fits my tastes and playstyle like the G95 infantry so I'm not going to fight it. That's my weapon and here's to the next dozen service stars.


Give the SMLE Infantry a try. It's slower firing than the G95 but has good iron sights and a good sweet spot damage profile, so you can 1-shot dudes from moderate ranges.

Aww, thanks for the repairs today on my heavy tank adventures

I think the vehicles have different usefulness based on different play styles. I am pretty poo poo with the artillery truck, even when I try and play conservatively with it. OTOH, I like the heavy tank and tend to play a bit more aggressively with it. I like the light flanker, but the autocannon is kinda finicky for me and for whatever reason I don't play well with it.

We can all agree that the land ships are loving garbage and a total waste of a spawn.
