[coarse thunder]

Otherwise use shortbarrel for Rotterdam, Devastation, etc

[icy sluice]

Panzer 4 with long barrel equal

[bronze grotto]

rn my brit lineup is archer/57mm valentine/bofors

i might replace the valentine with 95mm churchill

[solid hinge]

@bronze grotto it gets more pellets!

[bronze grotto]

is that bps

[solid hinge]

Yeah

Not.. that it makes too much of a difference, but it's something

[bronze grotto]

it doesnt give me 360 degree ohshit button infantry clearing tho

[solid hinge]

This is a fair point

[icy sluice]

I assume doing a 180 turn in a tank is ass on KBM right?

Like with the turret

[bronze grotto]

turret or the hull

oh

depends on table surface i guess

[coarse thunder]

Is it better to have a faster turret or a stronger turret

[solid hinge]

stronger

[bronze grotto]

but i turn to 3rd person and lose my aim for 180 turns

i dont like tunnel visioning while turning

[icy sluice]

Yeah, that's what I was gonna suggest but my nauseated sick self just stopped

[coarse thunder]

Is it better for the Tiger to have more ammo or a faster turret

[bronze grotto]

since i have archer for my antitank, do i replace the 6 pounder valentine with the 95mm churchill

[solid hinge]

I'd pick faster turret on the tiger

MORE

AMMO

[charred heron]

HEAT

[icy sluice]

imo faster turret

[solid hinge]

If you get caught in a bad situation that faster turn can save your ass

[icy sluice]

Makes it easier to kill infantry.

[solid hinge]

More ammo is nice, but it's more shots to miss with

[bronze grotto]

archer seems to be better for antitank aside from the piss velocity

and piss apds

[coarse thunder]

Yeah I get conflicted sometimes choosing tank upgrades

[solid hinge]

well

@bronze grotto id take meaty Churchill for anti infantry

both of the new tanks ARE tank destroyers

[bronze grotto]

archer / 95mm / bofors

?

[solid hinge]

so it makes sense

@coarse thunder

I don't believe the stug is a tank destroyer

well

it was multirole

It does exactly the same damage as the pzIV

[charred heron]

StuG is an Assault gun

[solid hinge]

yes

[coarse thunder]

Even as a TD you're facing infantry most of the time

[solid hinge]

STURMGESHUTZ

[charred heron]

Which can be used as a TD

[solid hinge]

STUG

and that definitely ain't a tank buster

[charred heron]

[solid hinge]

and infantry

[bronze grotto]

assault gun

[solid hinge]

Tiger is the real tank buster

And infantry buster

Everything buster

germanys WW1 solution on treads

[coarse thunder]

😂

[charred heron]

And nut buster

[coarse thunder]

Tiger in this game is pitiful

[charred heron]

[icy sluice]

I like it

[solid hinge]

It's got bigger splash than anything bar the howitzer!

[icy sluice]

Wow, you used the word bar

[solid hinge]

because its a 88mm gun

[coarse thunder]

The shortbarrel pziv seems to have much more splash

[bronze grotto]

ayy ill take the archer, churchill 95 and the bofors then

[solid hinge]

i use many words

such as

occasionally

anyway

[bronze grotto]

im still bummed at the archer having 530 m/s velocity though

[solid hinge]

Stubby pZ4s could still be found in infantry support and command tanks

pziv short barrel has same max splash radius as tiger but lower inner splash radius

[bronze grotto]

feels like a camper potato launcher

[solid hinge]

I'm pretty sure that's literally it's role

Camp on a hill

Spot everything from far away

Throw a shitload of potatos with that 40 ammo supply

[bronze grotto]

i agree, though it could stand to have at least better velocity

for potato launching not lobbing*

tfw the cgc has 590 m/s default

repurposed ww1 anti aircraft cannon outspeeds the purpose designed ww2 antitank cannon

[coarse thunder]

On the topic of velocity, bolt action rifle velocity should be switched with the assault semi autos velocity

[solid hinge]

cgc isn't quite as awful as it looks

Please god buff the bolt velocities

[bronze grotto]

mas-44 at 920 m/s

[solid hinge]

Lee has 500m/s

It's almost twice as fast

You're shooting yourself in the foot

[coarse thunder]

Buff bolt velocities by 60-100 m/s

[solid hinge]

500m/s is like smg speed

[half wolf]

Advice for making the FG42 w/ 3x scope work? For muh historical accuracy

[coarse thunder]

Use iron sights

[solid hinge]

@half wolf select fire it

[bronze grotto]

iirc mp34 with fast bullet spec has over 500 m/s

[solid hinge]

or pray

[bronze grotto]

beating out the enfield in bullet speed

[half wolf]

Prayer seems to work great

[solid hinge]

are you telling me a fucking smg has faster bullets than a bolt action

[half wolf]

Are you telling me DICE didn’t properly balance their game?

[solid hinge]

They made sure to buff the fuckin m1907 that one update

[half wolf]

Yeah because assault needed a way to beat medic point blank too, and god forbid assault have any range where it’s weak.

[solid hinge]

Cause that was really the gun that was lacking the most, the 4btk 770rpm assault rifle

[coarse thunder]

Bolt velocities wouldn't matter so much if people couldn't insta heal enough points to take 3 shots

[solid hinge]

tfw 50 damage on a limb shot

thats a guaranteed 3 shot kill now

[half wolf]

@solid hinge how to see damage stats for weapons? I wanna see how different the M1A1 is from ARs and MGs in terms of damage

[solid hinge]

if you can start healing instantly in your game then bolt actions need to do high enough damage to make that not affect them

[bronze grotto]

pretty sure the m1907 got a pretty big vrec nerf

[solid hinge]

I haven't found a spreadsheet or anything for them yet, I remember the general bullets to kill for each weapon and some people have come in here with bullet velocities before

[bronze grotto]

and the vrec spec being added is apparently bugged and does not work, meaning there is no vrec spec to reduce it atm

[coarse thunder]

70 damage flat for bolt actions with damage variations based on their stats

[solid hinge]

M1a1 has similar damage models to the ARs i think

[bronze grotto]

nonlethal sweetspots

[solid hinge]

It deserved a vrec nerf!! Its a 770rpm 4btk

[bronze grotto]

450rpm semis are 4btk

[solid hinge]

Thats CRAZY good

The agm has high enough damage that it's a 4btk at any range

[coarse thunder]

SLRs are always the better option unless you can consistently hit 3+ headshots in a row

[solid hinge]

Also a two shot headshot

[bronze grotto]

as i understand, the 450rpm semis are for headshot beasts only

[solid hinge]

No way are SLRS better unless you're using the turner at 300 metres or something

[coarse thunder]

SLRs vs. Bolt

[solid hinge]

Oh

[bronze grotto]

360rpm 3btk bodyshots are easier to use for me

[solid hinge]

Yeah you're right

[coarse thunder]

I'm not going to even bring up assault rail guns

[bronze grotto]

mas-44 lul

[solid hinge]

tfw even the ZH has a higher bullet velocity than the bolts

[bronze grotto]

80 m/s away from being literal rail gun

[solid hinge]

when you have a 150rpm gun that's a 2btk at any range you have to be a masochist to use bolt actions

[bronze grotto]

bolts being slowest in velocity is deliberate

[coarse thunder]

ZH and Selb 1906 dominate

[bronze grotto]

even to mp34

might try 200rpm model 8

[solid hinge]

ZG gets 720m/s I think

[bronze grotto]

but it becomes 3btk at longer range i think

[solid hinge]

Model 8 and RSC lose damage after 50m

[coarse thunder]

ZH especially with detach mags and 2 second tactical reload

[solid hinge]

Majority of recons i see use the ZH

[bronze grotto]

zh doesnt have that rpm upgrade though

[coarse thunder]

I'm not exaggerating the reload speed of the ZH, I counted

ZH does have rpm upgrade

[bronze grotto]

wait really

[coarse thunder]

But you have to sacrifice detach mags

[solid hinge]

I'm trying to snipe and i get double dinked by the ZH before i even finish pulling the bolt

[bronze grotto]

oh

does the zh have clip reload 🤔

i use aperture and still did bullet by bullet

[coarse thunder]

And always take detach mags for recon weapons

[bronze grotto]

do you take 2x or 3x with zh

[solid hinge]

tfw no detatch bolt action

I used 3x with ZH

[coarse thunder]

Assault detach mags are kinda but not really worth it

[solid hinge]

Selb for 2x

[bronze grotto]

bigmag 20 rd clips

[solid hinge]

Model 8 and RSC for irons

[bronze grotto]

for turner

mmm spam spam spam

rsc always mag tho

i take 2x on model 8 and selb

[solid hinge]

2x for under 50m?!

You masochist!

[bronze grotto]

i cant see shit with irons and i can barely see shit with apertures

[coarse thunder]

Like the detach mags for assault are usuyally always behind some arbitrary hipfire specialization

[bronze grotto]

but 2x for selb i need to, because the bullet reload is just painful

but sure maybe i should try out irons again for model 8

tfw use 2x on the zh-29 because i bought the blued skin set

dice just make skins not tied to scope types reee

[solid hinge]

Selb gets a 2x scope instead of apertures

[half wolf]

That feel when you join a server and see the enemy team has 20+ people all with the same clan tag

[solid hinge]

I like irons on model 8

Identifying targets isn't easy but you're so close normally that it doesn't matter

[bronze grotto]

its flare time

i used model 8 when flares were still shit

[inland flower]

i have more time played on bf4 than bf1 and bfv

i fuken luv that game

[solid hinge]

the old flares

weurgh

[coarse thunder]

Thank god for the buff

[solid hinge]

It really needed it

They're all I use now

[half wolf]

sheesh are all the servers tonight pubstomps?

[solid hinge]

Pubstomps sounds like a bigger problem on pc

Good thing everyone on console is a pleb

[half wolf]

I mean most serious platoons play PC

so yeah

[chilly marten]

what's the difference between the BF1 flares and BFV flares

?

[half wolf]

besides why have a fair match when you can shit on blueberries for 10 straight matches

[bronze grotto]

i wish im the pubstomper instead of being pubstomped by platoons every match

[coarse thunder]

@chilly marten BF1 flares fly until they hit the ground and burn for a very long time. BF5 flares activate in the air and slowly drift downwards

[chilly marten]

so what would be better

[coarse thunder]

And you immediately get points for all the enemies spotted in BF5

Flare

[bronze grotto]

we need more doritos

[coarse thunder]

Spotting scope is nearly irrelevant now but it doesn't use ammo and has unlimited range so it's still usable

[half wolf]

@bronze grotto dont really blame 'em, it's a lot more fun to have a guaranteed win and shit on randos, rather than queue up solo and deal with how dumb most players are

[bronze grotto]

sit in b tower on panzerstorm

[half wolf]

its just frustrating to be on the receiving end of

[bronze grotto]

if only my friends play bfv

[coarse thunder]

And you can shoot enemy flares out of the sky

[bronze grotto]

at least i can guarantee a pocket medic or something

[chilly marten]

e

[bronze grotto]

becaude my best matches always line up with good randos

[solid hinge]

Flares are a pain to shoot down

And you get no points for it

[chilly marten]

flares aren't hard for me to shoot down

[bronze grotto]

with good randos and good rando squadmates it become a lot easier to top kd and scoreboard, otherwise with bad teams i will tank my score and kd, going 3-7

tfw the only medic out of 32 guys is a non reviving suomi sweater

[solid hinge]

They're not hard, it's just annoying having to aim up and then down again on console

Takes time

[bronze grotto]

tfw a lone clannie was on squad but left because rest of team was bad, then he rejoined with his other clan mates... on the other already winning team

[icy sluice]

Is it annoying to do that on console?

[bronze grotto]

not moving to his friends on the other team i mean, rejoining server with the clan

[icy sluice]

I wouldn't know, I play on 100% sensitivity :v

[bronze grotto]

clanless top players tho

hmm

[pale rain]

You should sooo get points for shooting down flares

[chilly marten]

nah

I don't think so

[bronze grotto]

tfw already spotted anyway

[solid hinge]

I have default sensitivity and it takes a couple seconds

[chilly marten]

default is 25 right?

[solid hinge]

Scope time included

Probably? I've never checked

[chilly marten]

if so, I increased it by 20%

[solid hinge]

I think if you get 25 points for shooting random enemy mines you should get points for shooting flares

[chilly marten]

I think it was too low for me

nah

[solid hinge]

If I can get 50 points off blowing a pair of AT mines on an infantry only map then i deserve something for playing anti flare when my whole team is pushing a point on breakthrough

The sense of pride and accomplishment ain't cutting it

[bronze grotto]

100cc stug

[worldly wraith]

People go to #lfg-playstation

[jagged vector]

Price is going back up eventually

[solid hinge]

just found out that the person in the "In the Name of the Tsar" cover is actually a female

[chilly marten]

hot

[worldly wraith]

Rly

[chilly marten]

it doesn't matter

man female

I don't care

xd

[solid hinge]

the name of the person is Vendela Lindblom

[chilly marten]

ok

[bronze grotto]

[worldly wraith]

🔫

[coarse thunder]

+25 points for "Spot denied"

Repairing as well should get 2x as much points as it does

And building resupply stations should give you points for whatever your allies resupply

[chilly marten]

doesn't it do that

I did got some points but not all the time

[coarse thunder]

No, but I do occasionally get random +300 resupply points 🤔

[chilly marten]

exactly

[coarse thunder]

Should give points as soon as they do it, not randomly

[chilly marten]

maybe

[coarse thunder]

My new favorite mischievious pastime is blowing up enemy resupply stations (and vehicle resupply stations)

[primal sage]

Question. What does Steppenshackal mean?

I tried to google translate it, but it just says Steppen is "Quilting".

And...I don't think that's right.

[half wolf]

lmao 5v23 frontlines game

how the fuck does that happen

[chilly marten]

^^^

[solid hinge]

The crack 5 man squad

[bronze grotto]

steppenshakal, watermelon camouflage

[jagged vector]

@primal sage with a little more googling: steppen is steppes. Shackal is German for jackal

steppe-jackal

[quiet acorn]

so stepping on a jackal is what that means?

[jagged vector]

You know that steppes are a geographical term, right?

[bronze grotto]

[quiet acorn]

i feel like an idiot

[jagged vector]

I honestly didn’t know if I was being trolled or not

[quiet acorn]

i have regrets now

[half wolf]

@solid hinge i was on the 23 man side

i didnt see a single enemy all match

how does this happen

lmao and its still adding people to our team

it's lopsided for the next match too, and MM is still making our team bigger

[little fjord]

[solid hinge]

if they add one to enemies they gotta add one to you

even if they have 6 and you have 25

Alright, the new grand operation is plain shit, not one match has been even, it's always completely one sided

ALWAYS, and that's not fun

Idk how they fucked up designing it, but they sure did

[jade nova]

hey has anyone got general tips for leveling planes for me ?

[jagged vector]

Depends on what you’re leveling

Plane-wise

[jade nova]

trying to level a spitfire right now new to bf 5 and playing pc

[jagged vector]

Which one, the VA or VB?

[jade nova]

VA i think

the one with 500 shots default

[jagged vector]

Are you still level 0 on it?

[jade nova]

yep

[jagged vector]

Okay, just do your best trying to kill other planes

Drop flares over contested capture points

Once you can unlock the 8x .303 machine guns, killing planes is much easier

[jade nova]

ok people just always get behind me

[jagged vector]

Yeah, once someone is behind you, chances are that you are screwed. Try staying up high until you find a target to attack

With a stock plane, out-turning someone behind you is going to be near impossible. Slowing down is an option to try to get the enemy to overshoot you.

[jade nova]

ok ill try

[jagged vector]

Good luck!

[jade nova]

btw wich of the german fighters is the best ?

[astral solar]

so what is the next map gonna be?

[primal sage]

Whelp...I found a bug.

[weak violet]

Oh boy in the new grand op its been great

[primal sage]

IDK what I did exactly but somehow...looking at my assignments right as a match begins gives me a death screen.

I can look at the map...and nothing else.

I literally HAVE to close my game to fix it.

[lament grail]

Hi what weapons would you suggest I change to with better damage rate? All four of my classes are at rank 10 atm

[weak violet]

In the new grand op the second round is full of tankers trying to abuse the fact that they can move before the round start

Whats funny is it is always the light tanks/tank destroyers going right up front

It is funny for me just to kill them as they are trying to turn around

or turn there turret

Although in the 3 day of the grand op

A is always lost because all the tanks on the german team get on it before you can do anything

[unkempt dust]

I love how I can out snipe snipers with my turner lol

[echo glen]

Semi Autos, if used correctly can beat a sniper

Or at least make em move

And miss

[unkempt dust]

A player just tried sniping me 3 times from the same location

And every time I just kept strafing left and right and spraying him with my turner

I could feel his frustration

[echo glen]

F

But a Lee Enfield with fast cycle upgrade is super OP

Tried it, was a blast sniping

[unkempt dust]

I don’t play recon much but I am gonna try that

[echo glen]

Yep

My upgrade for the Enfield was all right-sided

[solid hinge]

Recon is the best

Except it’s super underrated

[true bloom]

I wish we had a chart for bullet drop and bullet velocity though. I find it hard to compare the bolt actions other than cycle rate/reload times

[little fjord]

http://bfdata.juhala.io/pages/comparison.html

[hybrid dock]

i just realized that Symthic shutdown

wtf

[little fjord]

I think symthic is working on a better site

[true bloom]

Thanks, man, I'll be diving into that :D

[bronze grotto]

enfield has slower bullet velocity than mp34 just saying

[echo glen]

Oh well. Still find it useful for quick sniping

[bronze grotto]

if you want rof why not use slr

[echo glen]

Feels satisfying to get headshots with it

[bronze grotto]

unless you are good at headshots use slrs

[echo glen]

I'm fine

[bronze grotto]

like consistent hs, and even then just use krag for better bullet velocity

[echo glen]

I'll level up my krag first then I'll see. Thx for advice

[bronze grotto]

or maybe you can pull off headshots like real fast with the 84 rpm of enfield

[echo glen]

Yes

I believe the fast cycle raises the rpm to 87, very fast.

Doesn't sound like a lot but it does impact the performance for me.

[bronze grotto]

i guess it depends if you pull headshots that fast

but if you still pull bodyshots more often than headshots just take an slr for 100rpm faster shots

i used to be an slr user but i found instakill headshots with bolts to be viable, so im starting to use the krag more

enfields rpm is too fast to make headshots at the full fire rate, and the velocity is bad,

[primal sage]

Okay, I still don't get the tank abandoning thing, but can I just leave a tip? If you're going to abandon a tank, SCUTTLE THE DAMN THING.

[echo glen]

That is true but it probably would be wrecked due to all the enemies.

Unless you leave it to sneak then why?

[primal sage]

...because enemies can then TAKE the thing, repair it, AND HAVE A +1 TANK.

And don't say "That's rare".

Many people here can testify IT IS NOT.

[little fjord]

Happens all the time

[echo glen]

Well I forgot to consider that fact.

[little fjord]

I'll jump in abandoned enemy tank, repair it, refill ammo and then use it against them the entire rest of the match

And it's not +1

It's +2

We get an additional tank and they have one fewer tanks that will not spawn as long as we have it

It's really really bad to abandon tanks

[echo glen]

Captain must go down with his ship.

[little fjord]

☝

[echo glen]

Most of er time you end up destroyed but I guess scuttling is viable.

What if you scuttle your tank and an enemy repairs it and goes in it but you placed stickys on the tank and you blow it up

[little fjord]

That's a thing I guess... if the thing has so little value that you use it as bait trap

That's almost trolling

[echo glen]

Or better with a transport vehicle

[agile vessel]

How exactly are we able to buy previous weeks' weapons? Is it all after the events are over or something?

[echo glen]

Yes

After the week ends, you should be able to buy

Got the Stug that way for 100 CC

[solid hinge]

I got it the OG way, 20 kills

[echo glen]

Nice

Was too late and was busy so

Good job tho

at least assignments aren't bugged like n4

[agile vessel]

Where exactly do I find the StuG, or am I too late?

[solid hinge]

that thing eats tanks

[echo glen]

Wait no go to the customize screen

Go to vehicles section, then change your vehicle and find the stug there

[agile vessel]

Ah there.

[echo glen]

Yes

[agile vessel]

What about the MAS 44?

[echo glen]

Assault, then weapons

[agile vessel]

Ah, I am a dumbass.

I thought it was through the armoury.

[solid hinge]

I have been playing with the s mine launcher, works pretty well when you seed an objective you have just taken

[little fjord]

Ap mines?

[echo glen]

Yes

[solid hinge]

yeah launchees a bunch of them

[little fjord]

Or the at mines

[solid hinge]

ap mines

[echo glen]

Nice

[little fjord]

Every time I try that all the ap mines explode immediately when I deploy them

[solid hinge]

its available on quite a few german vehicles

[echo glen]

What? Glitched?

[little fjord]

Last week I tried it on the stug

I thought it was still kinda cool tho... like grenades

[solid hinge]

also the canister round is the GTFO round for inf

[echo glen]

Lol

[little fjord]

Canister deletes

[hybrid dock]

smoke rounds for aa can be used for large covering

just a tip

[native yoke]

Aye theres been a rise of kids abandoning their tanks in the middle of a battle XP

you run out of rounds, go down with it or retreat XP

I've taught the otherside this several times by jacking abandoned tanks XD

[echo glen]

Lol

[bronze grotto]

tfw jack a tank only to then have their assault swarm catch up

[torn willow]

AHAHAA XP LoL XD

[solid hinge]

yeah it gets on my nerves too

same as kids sitting in the uncap in a tank tip toe'ing slowly towards the battle because they are scared??? of looking bad .. newsflash, battlefield has a way of making everyone look bad at times

God

BF1 is such a clean game

I just went a 20 KS as SMlE iron sights

[echo glen]

The kill sound effect is 👌

[solid hinge]

Indeed

It’s much more satisfying to

[echo glen]

Shotguns are actually viable

[solid hinge]

Yep

It’s so much cleaner to

[echo glen]

But there is more spread

For smgs and stuff

[solid hinge]

At least theha re usable

Lol

[echo glen]

Yeah

[solid hinge]

And you can use any weapon

Like I was using the P08 Artillery on support

[echo glen]

I played yesterday

[solid hinge]

It worked

[echo glen]

Nice

[solid hinge]

I like just bayonet charged a flamethrower and sentry

In the same feed

[echo glen]

Nice

[bronze grotto]

bf1 has all class weapons now?

[brisk field]

i don't think doing krag mastery isnt worth it

[lucid atlas]

hi

[brisk field]

Day 2 on hannut is just fucking awful

the other days are okay and fun but day 2 is ass

[little fjord]

I get alot of tank kills on day 2

Lordy I hope we get chauchat this week

[solid hinge]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/508247705953501184/547682021892161542/image0.png

gun should be renamed chadchat

[shrewd grove]

Day 2 I always find really fun

For some reason it feels like a BF3 map

[solid hinge]

Hannut day 2?

[shrewd grove]

Yeah

[solid hinge]

Oh I see Golmud Railway or any of the Armored Transport maps from BF3

[shrewd grove]

Yeah I see armoured transport

[solid hinge]

I want some more Final Stand style maps

Like big mountains and stuff, that would be such fun. Not Fjell though

[echo glen]

Yes

[solid hinge]

Or even Graveyard shift Fjell ngoni

Ngl

[echo glen]

I haven't even been able to Play Final Stand.

[solid hinge]

That’d be enjoyable

It’s broken on XB1

Still

[echo glen]

Final Stand Panzerstorm

[solid hinge]

Lol what if DICE ported bf4 maps for bfv

As throwbacks

[echo glen]

Maybe bf1 would be better

[solid hinge]

Like Zavod for Russian DLC

Lol maybe

But that’s rough. Can’t use A lot of it for WW1

You’d basically have to purge everything and redo it

It’d be a lot of work for just a remade port

If you did BFV, could leave certain stuff in for era. Like in Zavod, I think those are T-34’s that are rusting up

[echo glen]

Well I didn't play bf4 so you have the best opinion on it

Maginot Line map please

[solid hinge]

never happened

Like the rape

Fight me

Nor did the Armenians ever exist

:^)

[echo glen]

You're gonna get banned mate

[solid hinge]

Nah I’ve made those jokes before

Rape of Nanking

Unless a mod tells me I can’t, then that’s news to me. Cause I’ve said them before and actually gotten chuckles about it

[echo glen]

Ok then...

[solid hinge]

they would have to remake them to look similar because its a different game engine .. kinda like the way they had to remake Karkand, Dragon Valley and Gulf of Oman from BF2, the maps are very similar but its not the same

@solid hinge indeed

However, IMO those were easier to port themetic wise

Modern shooter, so it was essentially remasters. If they did like Oman to BFV, that’d take a lot of changing

yeah

Plus add the fortification feature, you basically gotta redux the map

If that makes any sense

[echo glen]

In Arras, isn't the flaming area Verdun Heights from Bf1? Sorry to butt in.

[solid hinge]

Uh I actually don’t know

I thought Arras was no where near Verdun lol

thats why I want them to remake wake island, to see the difference all the way back through game titles to BF 1942

Dice will never do Wake

“we want to do the not as well known battles”

[echo glen]

F

[solid hinge]

yeah if they even do the pacific theater, which im starting to doubt

Just like how Okinawa, Stalingrad, Berlin, ain’t be done

[echo glen]

I want a naval map like Zeebrugee

[solid hinge]

Apex lol

[echo glen]

Or Heilogoland Bight

[solid hinge]

Only thing for pacific I can bet on is Pelileu

Or Mariana Turkey Shoot

I would think Tarawa

Or even the Philippines

its a smallish battle

Tarawa would be interesting

Just don’t expect Midway or anything

Unless they change, people would jump on to play in Stalingrad

Or Berlin, or eve. wake

[echo glen]

Pearl Harbor xd

No

[solid hinge]

yeah .. no, im sick to death of stalingrad or berlin

I’d love Berlin ngl

As a Fort De Vaud style map

Reichstag endgame

SS v Russian boys

[echo glen]

We could get like a Tiger 2 tank

[solid hinge]

No need

They brought the tiger 1 in 1945 war stories

And made it appear in the early(?) 40’s for multiplayer

Which I don’t think existed. Correct me if I’m right

Or wrong

[echo glen]

Tiger 2 produced around 1944

[solid hinge]

To add on, the Valentine AA never existed

It’s a Crusader Tank AA on a Valentine body

well historically the only tiger 1s that made it to africa were offloaded in algeria just before africa fell in 43

[tough stream]

It’s a battlefield game its not gonna be historically accurate- bf1 had a lot of inaccuracies

[echo glen]

I like the staghound but I think the crusader tank would've been better

My zippy boi

[solid hinge]

you can’t just stick two tank types together

That’s the thing

na .. m3 stuart

It technically never happened

[ancient ocean]

So

[solid hinge]

It throws off the other vehicles

Plus it throws their roadmap out the window

STG44 in the 40’s

Brit’s in Rotterdam

[echo glen]

Pz. 4 on Pz. V chassis

[solid hinge]

Dutch Resistance were in Rotterdam

French were in Hannut, not brits

[echo glen]

FRENCH FACTION PLS

[solid hinge]

There’s a lot they kinda threw out the window

[ancient ocean]

It's not the Brits it's allies

[solid hinge]

Since the trailer

[echo glen]

No Poland?

[solid hinge]

its the brits

[echo glen]

Only Brits...

[bronze grotto]

tfw no adrian helmets in bfv

[solid hinge]

I’m waiting for Adrian helmets lmao

[echo glen]

I think in the leaked files there are.

[bronze grotto]

brits ARE allies, they and they alone fought the germans

idk what the french or belgians are

[echo glen]

Satire?

[solid hinge]

Switzerland was a German colony

That’s why they shot at allied planes

Prove me wrong

[bronze grotto]

but yknow what since the soviets switched sides multiple timed in ww2 they are their own faction

[solid hinge]

Lol

[echo glen]

Comintern Intensifies

[solid hinge]

Russians v Allies & Axis

Everyone hates Russia

So just bang bang skeet skeet

And win the war

[echo glen]

Sounds like hoi4 gone wrong. Anyway.

[solid hinge]

Then badabing badaboom Hitler be happy with new land and oil and stops fiting

He can tell Japan to screw odd

And den we gud in Murcia

Easy alternate history

[echo glen]

Imagine if Germany and Japan attacked Russia at the same time.

[solid hinge]

I think that was the idea

America probably wouldn’t have cared and supported Japan probably

Cause America hated commies still

[echo glen]

True.

[solid hinge]

In big theory America could of been axis

Lol

Just cause screw Russia

[echo glen]

But that plan was created long before ww2 but was scrapped

Like 1920's

America in Axis? Hmmm

[solid hinge]

Stalin shifted a lot of his Easteen Siberian Troops to the west

Cause he saw that Japan wasnt going to attack

If Japan did

2 front war, during a shitty time to where Russia had crappy structure

[echo glen]

Yeah

They would crumble

[solid hinge]

Japan wouldn’t be able to push cause they didn’t have the best in time

I mean the Zeroes could of done something

[echo glen]

The infantry tho

[solid hinge]

But Germany could just steamroll and get oil

Cause tanks need oil

[echo glen]

Yep

Germans would have an easier time

[solid hinge]

Indeed

[echo glen]

No encirclement at Stalingrad

Also D-day would be less effective if the America supporting Axis is a thing

[solid hinge]

Yep

We’d just not care

Or just try and make peace cause Russia was gone

But that’s such a far theory

That it’s nearly impossible. My best bet is America would of done peace negotiations like WW1

[echo glen]

Yes

[solid hinge]

And try and prevent another disaster of Versailles

Hitler would remain, Russia would be split

Make Moscow the Berlin of 50’s

[echo glen]

How bout UK?

They just be there.

[solid hinge]

UK would probably feel screwed but

No matter what they were getting their butts kicks

[echo glen]

Their force was small in comparison

[solid hinge]

But they are an island lol

[echo glen]

Yep

[solid hinge]

That’s the thing

They got water to cover

[echo glen]

They also have a nice navy to protect that water.

[solid hinge]

So only Planes, ships, and beachheads

If Britain just stayed neutral they’d probably would of been fine

Only difference is the Final Solution

Which would of pissed everyone off

That’s the kicker of this, idk if that would of remained

Cause that started in 42~ if I’m right

And the Russian invasion was mid 42

I think

[echo glen]

Yes

Well 1941 but yeah

Lots a jews would have died in Nazi-ocuppied Soviet Union

[solid hinge]

Indeed

But

If America backed in 42

*41

Who knows if that would of ever needed to happen

America could tell them to screw off lol

But this is such a far thing that I can’t be like 10% accurate

[echo glen]

Lel

[solid hinge]

It’s near impossible lol

[echo glen]

Yes

[solid hinge]

Cause America was the powerhouse

Pearl Harbor would of probably not happened

If it did Hitler would be pissed at Japan

In this alternative scenario.

So America and Germany v Japan would of ended poorly

Real easily

they’d be the next Italy

[echo glen]

Conflicting Ideologies as well

They would have fought eventually

[solid hinge]

Japan and Germany?

Nah

Hitler made them honorary Aryans

And even said Japan was better

[echo glen]

Thought you was talking bout smth else nvm

[solid hinge]

Oh sorry

[echo glen]

It's fine

Germany V Japan lol

Interesting

[solid hinge]

Lol

America would of backed it

Cause America was scared shitless of Japan.

[candid hollow]

There's a great documentary on Netflix called WW2 in Colour that shows all of this in detail

[solid hinge]

Cause they were a enemy in their backyard

Seen it already yet

And studied the entire war for a year

[echo glen]

Nice.

[solid hinge]

I could name you the number of ships used in each Pacific battle

If I got my resources out lol

Same in Russia

Teach yah nuclear fusion

[echo glen]

Kantai Collections and WoWs

[solid hinge]

Isn’t that ship girls

[echo glen]

Yes. But they all use Real ships names

And have designs straight from the real ships

[solid hinge]

Ik lol

Just making sure I had the right thing in mind

We should take this to #general

[echo glen]

Yeah we should

[solid hinge]

hi, for combined arms coop, is there a way or are there any plans to be able to play the axis side?

[echo glen]

Nope

[solid hinge]

I keep losing conection from Battlefield V at random times.

Its bloody annoying and I have no idea how to fix it.

Pls help ?

Someone ?

[dusky saffron]

@solid hinge It's only Brits for now I suppose

[main rock]

wait, if you complete the grenade assignment in ToW others lock?

you can't do them?

[long topaz]

@solid hinge https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/connection-troubleshooting-advanced-pc/

it can be mostly due to ports not being open

If your connection is still faulty after trying the ts stepps, be sure to do a Uo-trace and contact a EA help advisor with it

[unique crater]

That moment when you spot the Sturmtiger and make it a mission to blow it up.

Cause it’s ugly and dumb. Also stationary cannon

Ew

Enough reason imo to blow it up with a Panzerfaust and RPG

[long topaz]

I getcha. That's why it's best to have a few peeps or two distracting it to shoot into it's sweetspots

[amber notch]

[primal sage]

The fuck did you say about my Sturmtiger you lil' bich?

[silver cedar]

Dont say the F word

You are gonna trigger people

[proven pulsar]

Does ray tracing work on GTX 1060?

[fathom pebble]

don't think so. Since the tech is mostly worked on the RTX GPU's

[sonic rampart]

F

[amber notch]

@proven pulsar no it does not

it works only on the 20series cards

they are the only ones that support RT

iirc

[solid hinge]

Are any russian/american tanks that could be turned into AAs and Tank destroyers?
Like the panzer iv being the same like stug and the flakpanzer

Also if we get the greek army,its gonna be moslty british tanks

plenty

Then i bet we r gonna see em

The OG Battlefield had one .. M-10 Tank Destroyer

theres a lot of russian ones

easier, cheaper and quicker to make a turretless tank

I see

Americans didn't have many AA tanks .. the Luftwaffe had almost ceased to exist by july 44, so no need

I would love to see the M5 Stuart be the american light tanks

I hope so too

also hope they give us the M 26

It can be upgraded to the 75mm howitzer

so heres what happened

And that would be like the FT17 from bf1

you know how the germans took the 88mm AA gun and made some armour piercing rounds for it .. high velocity tank killer right

well the Brits had a similar gun

Cgc lol

but for reasons they still regret the gov wouldn't let the army have them, all were for home defense

same gun eventually did make it into a tank .. but never saw tank vs tank combat

Hmm

to the polititians at the time a big gun was a big gun

they could.t see the difference between a howitzer and an anti tank gun

M26 pershing should be the heavy tank

yep

And uhhh

Mustang the main fighter

P -38 as the twin

or maybe B 25

b 26 is ugly

Any ground attack planes?

B 25

tho

if I were the head developer it would be b 24 every time

What about the p17?

b 17 .. maybe

Damn this is hard

but its been done in so many games

So many good planes

But you can pick just one

B 24

caus 12 bomb stick ftw

lots of salt after every bomb run in chat

hehe

Isnt the b 24 a little 2 big?

never too big

A-26 would be a good one

Medium size

carpet bombing is therapeutic

And 4k lbs of bombs

OH

THANKS DICE

LOVE YA

Just finished the final mastery for the m30 drilling

But i got the same one again

Even tho i have that part

Ok

Dice

Tnx

[toxic axle]

Any clue?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D0D1-xqXgAACCkN.jpg:large

[solid hinge]

Soon

[toxic axle]

F E B R U A R Y ?

[dusky saffron]

hopefully soon

[solid hinge]

Eyy

Soon™

[haughty pawn]

wtb the option to skip that best squad screen after a match,it's so annoying...

[fathom pebble]

maybe when the new update comes out

[solid hinge]

Good luck skipping the best squad screen if they're adding special premium animations for it

[echo glen]

i want them to add a squatting animation for the russians

[dusky saffron]

I just want my character to be in his own unique place

not always center screen

[ivory geyser]

[long topaz]

ppsh 41 when

[dusky saffron]

I think

I'm ready to come back to bfv now

also

fuck

I missed the stug

[ivory geyser]

I want to play BFV now

😩

but internet is down

[dusky saffron]

still top .1% for melee baby

[echo glen]

how lol?

[dusky saffron]

Cause I'm good at the game

[small perch]

combined arms farming

[dusky saffron]

yikes

I only played it once

[ivory geyser]

lol

[dusky saffron]

and it's fucking boring

[ivory geyser]

it's a good way to practice

that's usually how I warm up

[dusky saffron]

it's a good way to waste 20 mins

playing solo

[ivory geyser]

it's basically like thunt in r6

[echo glen]

welp the cc is the only reason ill play it

[dusky saffron]

oh

so you're saying it's bad

got it

🙃

[ivory geyser]

[dusky saffron]

@subtle marsh and this is battlefield related how

[subtle marsh]

cause it is

[dusky saffron]

yikes

take it to #streams-and-videos

not here

[rustic pike]

does anyone remember what was the trick to stay zoomed in after firing the 9 punder?

[idle breach]

hold the fire button.

[daring terrace]

can i change the key bindings for bleeding out faster/slower? i cant seem to find it in the key bindings menu

[dusky saffron]

Not yet.

Probably not gonna happen ever tbh

[daring terrace]

thank you

[hazy lynx]

When you get the Type 88 in OP metro

And bipod

Just lay down with the bipod and spam that corner until you need to reload

If the enemy team doesnt know how to kill you its just a farming simulator

[dusky saffron]

ye

[primal sage]

Did I ever mention how a team mate abandoned his Archer tank (or died after he got out, idk), and I jumped in and took over and leveled the thing up before I even had access to the tank myself?

[charred heron]

I literally never saw anyone unironically saying that Hamada in it's entirety is a good map

[hazy lynx]

I have most kills with the Type 88 both on BF3 and on my support BF4 account

[primal sage]

It’s an “okay but I’d rather not” map.

[solid hinge]

That's because it isn't

[dusky saffron]

Hamada, in it's entirety is a good map

[charred heron]

[primal sage]

Again.

Hamada? “Okay cool but I’d rather don’t.”

[charred heron]

The vanilla maps in general are generally awful in most aspects

[primal sage]

“Can you don’t?”

Okay so by that logic Panzerstorm is the only good map?

[dusky saffron]

Hamada is a good map smh

[haughty pawn]

the only good map is that without recons

[dusky saffron]

except for frontlines

[primal sage]

And Conquest.

[dusky saffron]

Conquest is fine.

[primal sage]

Oh I’m sorry. Conquest Assault.

[regal nova]

Does anyone here still play BF1?

[dusky saffron]

No.

[regal nova]

😦

[primal sage]

I would if my PS4 wasn’t a shit that needs so much room to install one game.

I can only fit like...6 games max on it at once.

[regal nova]

oh i play on pc

can

[primal sage]

If I want to play another I have to delete a game.

[regal nova]

can't u get an external drive

or something of the sort

[primal sage]

I did have one.

Somehow it broke.

I have bad history with external drives.

[regal nova]

that sounds odd

i just upgraded to a 1 tb ssd

[primal sage]

I mean I unplugged my PS4 with the drive plugged in.

Somehow that broke its hardware?

[haughty pawn]

just upgrade the internal hd to 2tb

[primal sage]

The read arm is off or something, even though a second before it was totally fine and I didn’t not handle the drive itself roughly.

[regal nova]

that's weird but ive never played console so i wouldn't know much abt it

[primal sage]

I would if I had money...or a job...

[regal nova]

im getting a job this summer i think

[primal sage]

Good for you. Want a medal?

[regal nova]

that would be fantastic

[hazy lynx]

More people probably play BF4 than BF1

[primal sage]

Well first you need to get 5 “Laborer” Ribbons, for “Successfully got a job”.

[regal nova]

see i am so terrible at battlefield 1 but i still love the game

like every match i go 5-12 or something like that

[primal sage]

How are you bad at BF1?

[regal nova]

im terrible

[primal sage]

You shoot bad guys.

[regal nova]

i can't shoot for shit

[hazy lynx]

BF1 has even higher muzzle velocity

[primal sage]

Sounds like a big old case of “Git Gud”.

[hazy lynx]

Sniping is easy af

[regal nova]

i mean im new to shooters ive really only ever played total war

[primal sage]

Oh so just a straight up FNG.

That means “Fucking New Guy”. It’s a military term, like “Greenie”.

[dusky saffron]

hamada is a good map uwu @charred heron

[charred heron]

Hamada never was a good map and never will be a good map

[dusky saffron]

thats a fat

[charred heron]

Just like the average player skill in this game plumets deeper and deeper with every patch

[primal sage]

You two are gonna go on and on with this.

Stop now.

[dusky saffron]

Yikes

[charred heron]

In BF1 a no life Colonel 150 was a valuable asset

[dusky saffron]

Get a grip that we're having fun

[charred heron]

In this game most level 50s are worse than some Level 1s

It's awful

[primal sage]

So god damn serious about a fucking Battlefield game.

Look if this game was any more silly it’d be team fortress 2, alright. We’re here to have epic moments and do stupid shit.

[dusky saffron]

A majority of the playerbase is typically below average in most games tbh @charred heron

[sonic rampart]

Lol tf2

[primal sage]

Mock TF2 and I will...probably do nothing to be completely honest cause what CAN I do?

[charred heron]

Come on

You can at least expect a certain base line of average gameplay and awareness of your teammates

But most of them are utterly retarded

[dusky saffron]

Not happening

[primal sage]

In Battlefield?

Pfft.

[dusky saffron]

Check league standards

majority of the playerbase is bronze or silver

[charred heron]

Even the entirety of Somalia is smarter than the Battlefield community

[dusky saffron]

and that's pretty much below average

[primal sage]

XD LEAUGE! Hahaha!

[dusky saffron]

Imagine spelling league wrong.

[primal sage]

LoL sucks, don’t @ me.

[dusky saffron]

Cool.

Same elo pattern exists in other games as well, such as dota or smite @charred heron

[primal sage]

And I tried it. I despise MOBAs. They’re over rated garbage.

[dusky saffron]

A majority of players in general, suck at the game they play

Or well

[primal sage]

How do you hype up and get competitive over a game that’s always the same?

[dusky saffron]

in my terms they suck uwu

[primal sage]

Map never fucking changes.

[dusky saffron]

Same people who get hyped for BR

and in some cases

CSGO

[sonic rampart]

But firestorm will be great.. trust me

[dusky saffron]

I hope firestorm is good.

[sonic rampart]

gets disappointed like for CA

[dusky saffron]

The fact that the game is lacking now that Apex showed itself

makes me upset

especially since I've been waiting for the damn new cosmetics

[primal sage]

Don’t care if it’s good or not. I didn’t join battlefield to play a fucking battle royale mode.

[dusky saffron]

at this point, Star Wars is hyping me up

Anakin's getting released in 3 days

[primal sage]

Firestorm could be a complete and utter flop and I wouldn’t care.

[sonic rampart]

The fact that a try to love some aspects of the game while I dont like them makes me sad

Like CA lol

Oh well didnt have high hopes anyway, even tho the trailer made me kind of happy

[dusky saffron]

mm

I just want takedowns

and air takedowns

[sonic rampart]

xD

[dusky saffron]

with nice long animations

[charred heron]

Just remove Conquest and make TDM the only game mode available in BFV

[sonic rampart]

I just want choppers..

[dusky saffron]

leave @charred heron

[sonic rampart]

[charred heron]

If people are too stupid to play an objective based mode, then they should play TDM to their hearts content

[sonic rampart]

Bf4 on ps3 in a chopper

Heck even forgot all names

[dusky saffron]

smh

@sonic rampart be asking for

this shit would blow up immediately

[sonic rampart]

^^

Would be fun tho

Imagine them adding obliteration

With that chopper

Lmao AA gun would kill the guy

[strong parrot]

lul tried to play a round of the new op.....get put in a game on the third day in progress german side....half a team of snipers camping not pushing the A point tanks sitting back at the spawn being sniped by the field guns but are too stupid to shoot them back

some dude camping against a rock with a 1922 kills me once...then I rifle naded him...then piated him, he still has like 5hp and kills me again how in the fuck

[dusky saffron]

you're just not good enough

[strong parrot]

nah clearly

cant make stupid work when I join it

[dusky saffron]

I mean if you piated him

that's you a problem if he survived

no wait

there we go

[strong parrot]

I wasnt able to get perfect protractor accuracy on him with my shot due to everyone else on the enemy team also wanting to shoot me

also fucking guys sitting by a tree on the brit side shooting into our flank....and apparently everyone on my teams too stupid to look over there and see all the tracers, why are enemies that are shooting at you invisible to my teammates? am I playing on console here suddenly

[dusky saffron]

just

git gud
