to be honest BFV gun variety is surprisngly bad
for a ww2 game
like they have interesting guns yes
which bf has the best variety in your opinion?
Why is playing the most popular class in Battlefield 1 a crime?
Because it's Assault
BF4
whoa, punny jokes about battlefield, i love it
Bf4 had the most weapons to chose from imo
bf4's variety was lacklustre imo. lots of guns were just copy pasted stats
Most weapons to choose from isn’t the same as variety in terms of how guns actually perform.
Only so many ways to make a meaningful distinction between 6 assault rifles all firing 5.56 at 600 RPM
Ah ya i can see why you say that
More is not alway better
PING
lovley sound that
why do you need a m1 garand sniper when you only fly japanese planes?
For the ping 
For Recon in BF4 your choices basically boiled down to “pick whichever has the highest muzzle velocity”
I like to have varieties
That or one of the carbines
hah
(watches a jap plane crash into a tank, explodes and hears ping) oh that's angra

It is not
Why do Scouts need deodorant?
Cause they're so SMLE
M3 Infrared was a legit thing.
such modification
The first US military night vision system used in active combat was the T3 Carbine system - an infrared light-amplifying scope and IR floodlight mounted on an M1 Carbine. About 150 of these were used on Okinawa, and were quite effective. The system was refined over time, and by the Korean War this version was in service.
The M3 scope here has a...
Though I’d honestly rather it have been a Spec option for the M1.
used heavily in pacific theatre
Likewise StG-44 should have gotten a spec for its own IR scope
...it was only used heavily in Korea.
The only place in the Pacific the M3 was used was watchmen on Okinawa
M3 infrared was used by the US but given to the brits since the muricans didnt find a use for it
We’re talking maybe 1000 at best used in that case for the Pacific
yeah
It basically looked like M3’s gear in-game.
vampire stg44 thingy
Bigass IR flashlight on top of bigass scope
Indeed that’s the one
Shoulda been a spec option
Yeah but it would still be kinda pointless
There are only two night maps in the game and they require you to play on GO to access them
Likewise, the STEN with its integral suppressor. Or the suppressed Nagant revolver
But yet we have an infrared
A nagant revolver would’ve been nice
gonna go play with the smg 08 in bf1
If we had the Soviets
fun gun
What they did to the MP34 is a tragedy.
Shame they didnt add soviet guns
We got like one
Likewise the S2-200
Would love to use the garbage rod and the svt
BF1 has more Soviet guns than BFV
MP34 is significantly worse than I'd expect it to be as a lvl 16 unlock
Does anyone actually use it?
one word: BAYONET.
I did back when it had the laser niche
Yea seen some lads use it
I like its low rof tho
i use the 34 for mid range maps
OH MY HODD
no ppsh since we've got the suomi
The S2-200 in-game clearly has the 25-round magazine of the Hungarian model. They could have gone with that and made it a flat 5 BTK damage model at all ranges and made it unique
The closest thing we have to a PPsH 41 is the suomi
Instead is just worse MG34
But yet no frenchy or Italians 
Soviets copied the suomi design for the ppsh
It hurts even more because the Suomi had a drum mag irl
71 drum mag
hanna: EXCUSE MOI?!
71 bullet
And all we get is a chonki mag
Common myth but actually false. Only the drum was copied.
nah the design is completely similar
Again, although they would’ve been nice to have they’re ultimately pointless if there is no Eastern Front to use them on
air cooled, small in size, identical stock
The PPSh-41 was a simplified PPD-40 which was developed from the PPD-34
Finnish and Russian guns are similar because they both fought in the 30s
Mechanically the Suomi and PPSh don’t have much in common. It’s like saying the AK is a copy of the StG when that very much ain’t the case and they only share external similarities
fair enough lol
Only as a specialization
Yep
yes
If you have a bayonet that is
for like all the bolt actions, 1 lmg, 1 smg and 1 ar
Your name leads me to believe you are a man of culture
Im an enjoyer of the 42
How many kills?
too much
I got like 4K with the thing
The soldiers at D-Day hate him!
There was actually a Soviet copy of the Suomi made, the KF-42. But that wasn’t until well into WW2 and didn’t see much use.
Keep your French beaches clean with this one simple trick!
Damn the free login japanese hat looks so big
Still wondering why we never got the Type 99 LMG or Type 96.
they should make a battlefield 5 d-day ap
for omaha juno gold sword utah
maybe not
Never gonna happen
Why
Also, we got a stealth Benet-Mercie in BFV
Cause support for bfV is done
We’re not getting anymore content 
They stopped supporting 5
Did they ever start

4 factions was disappointing but understandable
yes i wish they had russia
I wish I could go back in time and prevent COVID and prevent Sirland from leaving
Me too
6 would have been ideal (US, UK, GER, ITA, JPN, USSR)
Italy is sorely under represented in WW2 games
Yes
Even though they had some cool shit
IDK why but I feel like the inclusion of Italy would be pointless
there is almost no italy
I wouldve liked Italy
me to
DICE already has to go out and get all of these specific weapons and tanks and planes from the faction
what is battlefield 6 gonna be?
We dunno
i think vietnam maybe
And they have to add specs and skins to them
maybe vietnam?
I'm afraid I know
that would maybe be cool
Most likely modern
Yes
Hardline 2
Which is fine
Eh, Italy gives us the Carcano, the Lanciabombe, the Breda M.30, the P.40, the various Semovente assault guns...
i havent played hardline cause i hate myself
Granted we have the Carcano carbine already but still
Hardline is great
Yep
Yeah but they really weren’t that significant
They literally were Europe’s soft underbelly
Its dead though so i wouldnt bother getting it
Humanoids got upset because it was the only battlefield with police vs gangsters
It’s not dead on console 
italy in ww2 be like 🛌
Italian weapons could have had two damage models because quite a few were made in both 6.5mm and 7.35mm.
I love it when I see people get upset that the MG42 takes longer to kill than the Kar98K even though they both use 7.62 Mauser rounds
yeah
Like yes, let’s have a two shot kill MG42 I’m sure the player base would love that
Yes
i thought the kar98k had higher caliber
ah yes
actually MG42 has shorter TTK than Kar98k
I would be a happy man if the 42 could 2 shot a man
but when i found out a 2 shot mmg would be so op
omg i would stop playing battlefield
forever
A bit more off-putting is that the Volkssturmgewehr and the 1-5 have different damage models despite being the same gun
"8mil mauser"=7.92
Basically the same for the M1A1, M2, and M3
i dident know that cool
IF BFV was "realistic" (painful) MG42 would OHK anyone at any distance through almost all materials including brick walls
It essentially uses 7.92x57mm but ARMOR PIERCING
if it was realistic getting shot by a kar98k in the head would kill you in 1 shot
And the Boys AT would do more damage to vehicles while the Panzerbuchse would be a hitscan railgun
If BFV was realistic the Tiger 1 would move five feet from spawn then break down from transmission failure
also if you got shto in the leg you would be wounded
if it was realistic we shouldnt be able to get revived after taking a 88mm shell to the head but here we are
Yep
Most guns would kill instantly if bfV was realistic
Seriously, why no granatbuchse spec for Panzerbuchse?
also getting run over bye a tiger
A bullet is a bullet
If only there was a community games option where teams could only use country-specific weaponry and uniforms
People really do not understand game design
nah, boys would do 0 damage against tiger and churchill, same with panzerbuchse
AFAIK you can’t revive roadkills
bullshit your getting revived after getting shot in the face bye a basooka rounnd
bazooka
you cant?
I don’t think so
oh
IF BFV was realitic we could rocket jump in the game
Also Badger reference
mhm
True, but the Boys had significantly higher penetrating mass than the Panzerbuchse so if it did penetrate it did considerably more damage.
best yter
Meanwhile the IRL Panzerbuchse has a 2km/s muzzle velocity
i wish they had the panzershreck in the game
it's not about the penetrating projectile, it was more about shrapnel created from impact
that would be cool
that'd kill the crew
It’s in the files and reveal trailer @solid hinge
oh i aint know that
Which the Boys still made more of than the Panzerbuchse
yes
Yes everyone would love spalling in BFV
Or there’s the Mors AT rifle that doesn’t rely on penetration at all and just goes splat against the armor with soft lead
But panzerbuchse velocity was so fucking stupidly high even with that small ass 7.92mm bullet it would make an unbelieveably hard impact
True, but the actual damage to the inside wasn’t near as high unless you got a direct hit on a crew member. Hence why they had to develop tear gas for it because it didn’t generate enough shrapnel to incapacitate crew.
And even tho the bullet was smaller if it was filled with tungsten carbide penetrator it could penetrate all WW2 era tanks
It wasnt tho
Meanwhile Mors don’t care about penetrating armor cause it just smacks hard enough to dislodge a 20-25mm piece of steel on the other side to gib crew
im suprised the allies won the war with all the panzers and tigers
It's all about the (velocity * mass)^bullet material
in playing bf5
i mean
In that case they wanted a projectile that splattered as wide as possible while going as fast as possible to dislodge as big a chunk on the other side as possible
There werent a lot of panzers or panthers
1300 tiger tanks vs 50k shermans
Panzer is a catch all term
Not to mention they were real gas guzzlers
And the bulk of Tigers were deployed to the Eastern Front
And questionable reliability
tigers etc were super costly to reproduce and germany was fighting on three fronts
The tigers used petrol engines...
If a Tiger wasn't crewed by unexperienced scared kids it could take on 20 shermans at once
All I need to say
Panthers were almost exclusively deployed to the Eastern Front and there’s only like 3-4 accounts of encounters with King Tigers in Western Europe and those may just be mistaken identity
There were cases when a single tiger outgunned 50 shermans at once
anybody wanna play?
One case to be precise
I love the tiger but even I admit it was a problematic vehicle
It wasn’t the best by any means
The Tiger is vastly overhyped as a vehicle
Yes
i think the panzer is better
Point of fact, late model Sherman’s actually had frontal armor effective thickness more or less equal to that of a Tiger
It stats were amazing, but technical problems and bad crews made it bad
And only mid-war tigers were that amazing, they had uber-quality german alloy armored steel
Which one lol
late-war models armors were a lot weaker
I mean we need French hunter and Italian gunter 
trashcan steel tier armor
The Tiger had 100mm of near vertical frontal armor that came out to around 110mm. A basic Panzer 4 from about 1942 on had 80mm of vertical frontal armor.
The Shermans with from the E8 on with their 64mm frontal hull came out to around 98mm effective thickness.
even tiger 2
Panzer 1 is better than tiger guys 
And then there’s the Panther with side hull so thin it was vulnerable to AT rifles
The single panzer 1 at Tobruk with tigers 
And a turret motor so weak the Panther couldn’t properly traverse the turret on moderate inclines
late war tiger armor was so bad even when shot with a rifle bullet it could chip off and kill crew

And a final drive that gave out after just 150km while having a maintenance system that basically required removing the entire engine with a crane to get to it.
Imagine having to do a total engine overhaul every 150km.
On average
If it was added to BFV it should have had a unique effect where the engine takes critical damage for every 1 minute of driving or something like that
Why would anyone ever want to use it
Because Panther and big gun
a middle ground between Panzer 4 and Tiger 1
Despite the 75mm L/70 being kinda pointless
Panther would have been nicer than a flakpanzer
it would have been
Then again, the Panther did have a gas turbine trialed on it so that could have been fun.
Imagine a Panther as fast as a Puma
There was a handful of flakpanzers used and the Valentine AA wasn’t even a thing from what I can tell
Valentine AA is a hybrid of a Valentine chassis with a Crusader AA turret
Speaking of, sad we never got the Crusader
Or a 105mm howitzer for the StuG
Since lists of Valentine variants don’t actually have the AA conversion 
Where muh StuH at DICE?
Do you know what it takes to make y'all come back to BF1?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoXAzfy9_ZM
The StuG with a competent crew is so good
all it takes to make me play bf1 is to open it
With the cosmetic model changes they introduced with the Chi-Ha being three tanks in one we could have even had the StuG turn into a Jagdpanzer IV with a 75mm L/70 upgrade
great game
I meant come back
Or the Tiger a King Tiger with a 88mm L/71 upgrade
I can open it too, no need to come back for me
Sturminfantrigeschütz and a panther would be nice enough for me
Or a Panzer 2
Also dice gib He112
maybe not the 112 since it’s like an older 109
Gib MkB-41.
dice gib amazing soundtrack with next BF
Like they did with BF1 (ooh) and BFV (ooh)
eargasm
Johan Söderqvist is a living legend
A fw-190 and a hurricane rather than two variants of the 109 and spitfire would be amazing
Just give more specifics options for the current fighters
I want the fw190 the most
Then a he111 and a Lancaster
GiB AVS-36 with 900 RPM
those you can forget as well
Eastern front...
GiB AS-44
T-34 
Mosin Nagant 
stop.
GiB Moist Nuggies
fedorov avtomat couldve been added
Nah
If it was I’d hope as an LMG
since it was used by the red army due to a lack of MG's
Federov should honestly have been an LMG in BF1
Giving it to Medic was a big mistake
or even assault
I really enjoyed it under medic tbf
They should have made a Cei-Rigotti extended though. And a Mondragon extended.
But given that it used rifle cartridge support class would've benn the most appropriate
it's pretty weak damaging and slow firing so its balanced
mondragon extended would be absolutely poggers
The Federov was probably the single most damaging thing to interclass balance because it was the return of the medic/assault from BF4.
After it was introduced suddenly teams were like 60-70% medics with it
#RemoveRandom
Nah, Federov as LMG with either 4-6 BTK model or flat 5 BTK model like Madsen. Maybe 4 BTK with slower RoF
^
Dinner plate 28
Could be the second LMR
flat damage model in BF game is something I'd love to see being removed forever
Flat damage models are very useful for making a weapon unique though and offer ways to balance a weapon you struggle to get otherwise
Anywho, Breda Model 30 as MMG. 20-round magazine. 540 RPM. 3-4 BTK Chauchat damage model.
Or maybe just 3 BTK flat
The feeling when your landship got track disabled and the enemy team starts swarming you and your buddies.
My most recent Bf1 match
Model 30 with a rare chance of jamming since it was so shit
define flat damage model
MG 42 as a medic weapon with no recoil, unlimited ammo (overheat after 500 bullets) 0s aim time, 0 dispersion, 1BTK damage model and secondary fire mode that makes the weapon shoot explosive rounds
would be a fine addition
ZH29 and S1906 damage model
solid x hit kill at any range
bleh
const X BTK
so what you control weapons efficiency at range by hrec?
Madsen Gun has a flat damage model too
Functionally all the bolt actions do as well.
fr?
recoil, zoom and bullet velocity
sounds neato
flat dmg model is cancerous in BF game
makes no sense for intermediate and pistol cartridges
i thought it went from a 5hk to a 6hk and eventually into the 7s and 8s
theres only like.. 3 weapons that have this though
not all of them, but they do keep the same BTK
IIRC the Krag is flatrash damage model
60
That’s why I said functionally. The amount of damage varies but it’s still 2BTK/1 shot headshot
for simplicity sake i would only be concerned about btk
Functionally doesn't make a difference unless your target is a medic with healing addiction or damaged
Which is one of the reasons the sweet spot was one of the best innovations in BF1 as it meaningfully distinguished them. And then there was stuff like the Carcano that had no sweet spot and was only capable of headshots inside 100m but fired super fast while the G.95 did a solid 80 at all ranges.
G.95 had a damage drop-off after like 100m
fuuuck sweetspot
me too
Imagine the MG42 with realistic damage
Sweetspot mechanically brought bolt actions up to par
i get this comes off as elitist and its a casual title, but sweet spot is such a casual mechanic
Casual doesn’t mean bad.
this
I would react with my avatar
Bolt actions in BF1 are the best balanced of all modern battlefield titles
el this is true
i dont get this thought process that all weapons need to meet a certain level of ease of use across the board
Precisely because there’s meaningful differences between them and they were brought up to par with other classes Weapons
anyone really like BF1 here?
It doesn't make a difference what a gameplay mechanic is as long it is a good one
An MG42 with realistic damage would basically be shredder. It would take the first 3 hits to kill them, and the other 20 rounds in your burst to just give his squad mates PTSD
Because then you wind up with stuff like semi-auto rifles being better than the bolt-actions and only cosmetic differences between entries in an entire weapon class
thats just not the case in bfv
yep we all do apart from the rare people who dont
which doesnt have sweet spot, but ok
Hence why the ZH-29 is clearly superior to all bolt actions in BFV
^
3 bullets to kill the entire squad and the rest to give the entire enemy team PTSD
superior to most
One bullet would make a double kill
if youre a good shot you can wreck shit with a bolt

The consistency of that 2BTK at all ranges is far superior to having the ability to get a one shot headshot
skill floor vs skill ceiling
You cannot meaningfully balance an entire weapon class around headshots alone
again, you dont need this standardized efficiency metric for all guns
Even Stodeh performed better with semi autos than bolt actions and he’s a human aimbot
lul stodeh
dude gets blessed with moronic enemies and has pocket medics
not nearly. Can't OHK no matter what if the target is full HP
But that doesn’t matter because it can just double tap
ZH-29 offers far greater consistency
adding sweetspot mechanics was just a means to give shitters a gateway into being useful as a sniper because they were shit shots
ouch that isnt too nice
bf1 was full of wack mechanics, sweetspot is one of them
As I said, even Stodeh performs better with semi-autos than bolt-actions. And he lands headshots far more consistently than the vast majority of the player base.
a counter mechanic to sluggish bullet velocity
list the other mechanics
No other weapon class is balanced solely around headshots
because of which hitting heads from afar was unnaturaly hard and random
apart from RBD and sweetspot which are actively being shat on
as i said, you dont need a baseline of efficiency at all, especially in a casual title
unless the target wasn't moving like a paranoic with adhd
Yes you do in a class based shooter
gas/gasmasks, nade spam, behemoths, elites, mortars
no.. you really dont...
The sweetspot brought Recon up to par with the other classes for the first time in modern Battlefield entries
BFV doesn't have any of those 
fortunately
So your solution is to hamper a class with chronically underperforming weapons?
gas was counterable, nade spam is a universal issue, behemoths are a good balancing feature, elites are prone to bayonet charges or backstabs and mortars are actively visible so they can be shot by anyone
But elites and behemots were fun actually
in a game where you just select loadouts and go out into a sandbox to kill in whichever way you randomly can, theres no need to "bring them up"
To such an extent that other classes do the role of that class better?
Twee why is your name now literal tree
See: SARs and Medic carbines
thats my point exactly... he asked for other wack mechanics and those are them and thank god they arent in bfv
However elites should'n be balanced around pick-ups but how good you perform in a game
my solution is to let people learn to perform or play another class that will benefit their simple ways. barrier to entry is a thing and you dont need to cater to everyone
If BF1 had MMG mechanics the Villar-Persia would have been a good MMG candidate
If there were elites in next BF I'd be okay with them as long as you could get them the way I described above
Yea honestly elites and behemoths were purely for marketing
That idiotic really. All other classes had similar ease of use, why would Recon be the one exception and for arbitrary reasons?
if you think SARs and medic carbine make recon less relevant idk what to tell you
im gonna guess you only consider a classes viability based on their killing potential and ease of use
Yeah prolly
the fact that any scrim ive ever played in other than 5v5 has at LEAST a recon in a squad says otherwise
Because they do.
The Jungle Carbine was literally better than every bolt action Recon had inside 100m, and the recoil on SARs so low that with the 3x scope they were better at sniping than designated sniping.
That’s seriously one of the most prominent interclass balance issues of BFV
Well snipers arent supposed to be for 100m
They're supposed to be for about 100-250m
if you have to bring up jungle carbines being better under a range that snipers shouldnt really be in... i think you have a problem with your point
Yet I imagine you’d be among the first to bitch about Recons not playing the objective
In BFV recons can't even hit me
I agree the jungle carbine is far worse than any sniper rifle at long range (100m+)
if i do or do not, that doesnt negate any of my points
As soon as I see the hated scope glint I pretend to have an attack
And again, the SLRs still outperformed all bolt-actions with the greater consistency
I can't even with this guy
iz fine, just play bf 🙂
Sweetspots meaningfully differentiated the bolt actions that previously were glorified palette swaps, and actually encouraged them moving closer to the action and playing the objective
semi auto rifles better than Jungle Carbine and snipers
@sick hamlet you know you can also PTFO as a recon?
Hell no angra you are smort
you're kamilet
kamikaze
not a brainlet
When they can spit off the necessary 3-4 shots with minimal recoil and quite often higher muzzle velocity? Yes.
Me plane smash tank for fun
are you stuck in stats from a year ago?

MAS-44 has a higher muzzle velocity than any bolt action
mas 44 actually has the highest in the game
can a mass-44 two or one tap a person on 250m? ;3
Like half the people that critize BF5 only use points from like around launch
but is balanced by dmg
with a spec and by 20...
what a reason to outrage...
is this the vcs dead?
No. But it can get the rounds down range and on target before a bolt action can squeeze off a second shot if needed, with less need for lead or compensating for drop.
youre talking like... percentage differences like we are talking about someone using a kolibri vs a SAR
Yeah but what abt spread
you also have to account human error in the mix.
nice nice
Trinova when is the last time you played BF5
then dont place invite :3
is battle field 1 dead 
SARs don’t have meaningful spread of any kind, stemming from lack of horizontal recoil.
nope
still very alive and running
The only randomization they have is in vertical recoil
id say you adjust your server browser
depends on region and platform
i changed
but it depends on how late you play at
my region with a vpn and more
you know, just bolts having a high skill floor doesnt make the whole class hard...
Why would I ever use a bolt-action over the greater consistency from the ZH-29?
... did you not read your quote and my response?
you said classes have similar ease of use, why cant recon...
when recon does have similar ease of use OUTSIDE of bolts
this conversation is just turning into everyone poking at a dead horse
Yeah you could use the M3 infrared, the semi-autos, the pistol carbines, the AT rifles, Recon has so many different types of primarys and all you're gonna say is "hurr durr bolt actions bad." bro use something else then.
ironically recon has 2 of what i would consider op and dead easy guns to use in the zh/1906
I did.
You’re being deliberately obtuse and pretending that a significant chunk of weapons available to a class being chronically underperforming across multiple game entries isn’t a sign of poor weapon mechanic design.
Can i punch some drywall nyphon
as long as its not my walls i dont care what walls you punch
Cuz this guy is so ignorant that it makes me want to scream
Thanks bro
what the fuck is going on
No, I’d just rather not have half the weapons in a class be functional palette swaps that are pointless to use
dude mad bolts arent easy to use like other weapons basically
this
There’s also the lack of variety between them.
uhhh no are you even reading my message
There is plenty of variety
Why would you ever pick the Gewehr 95 over the Kar?
I mean, its a bolt action rifle, you can only have so much variety lolmao
nature of the beast when people want this game to not stray from ww2 too much while also wanting every gun available
Also the Gewehr 95 has a faster rate of fire
Why not
Any gun is good gun
Goes out the window the moment you attach a scope.
That doesnt include reloads dingus
g95 is more of a closer range bolt for a lot of reasons...
Because DPS is how we measure the efficacy of bolt actions apparently
kar/krag are "strictly" long range headhunting snipers
uhh no we're measuring them on all fronts
(except for hipfire obviously)
imagine not using the tromboncino with a lattey sight as a medic in 2021

My point is that there’s not much functional variety within the bolt-actions. The same was an issue in BF4 where choice boiled down to “pick whatever has the highest muzzle velocity because it’ll have the greatest consistency”
g95 is good if you cant land headshots consistently and want to swap to secondary to finish off a kill while still having decent to good ranged headshot potential
this is only looking at one aspect of a weapon...
Well fair point BF4s bolt actions were way too similar
if youre headshot hunting at range, yea thats a huge stat to look into
Hell, there’s only 3 unique spec trees for them and one of those is unique to only one weapon.
And thats largely because bolt action rifles as a concept do not have much functional variety.
lee enfield has the fastest fire rate of the bolt action rifles so that one hits the spot for me
Yet BF1 managed greater variety within the class than its predecessor or successor
Honestly i think bolt actions should have different ADS times
it should be slower
by introducing a stupid mechanic
upgraded only with specs
Like ones that have higher accuracy and muzzle velocity should have slower ADS times
You may think so but it finally introduced some much needed depth and variety to the class
It was also still fucking stupid lol
i would argue recon in bfv has more variety than in bf1..
i mean.. theres some 5 weapon types in recon right now
TIL: better weapon balance and differentiation is stupid
The duality of man
"Better weapon balance" Well i shot you between these ranges so its a one shot to the body
too bad your rifle only does that at a shorter range
nyphon each bolty in bf1 works in their own ways
recon has carbine pistols, slrs, bolts, SAR and anti material rifles
thats variety on its own
such huge variety in "i can one shot at this range ORRR this range"
And the two anti material rifles are damn near identical with the same spec trees
And also whatever the hell the M3 infrared is
SAR
ah
Not to mention that some bolt action rifles in BFV can perform better up close than just about any rifle on recon in BF1, as well as having other rifles that can perform just as well at range
Well, considering that you had rifles optimized for short range like the Arisaka vs ones optimized for mid-range like the Lebel it actually introduced proper niches for them
I keep thinking the SAR-21 from BF4 when you say that
Is Battlefield V good? Better than Battlefield I?
In terms of gameplay, I would say yes
gameplay yes, everything else no
the regulars of this community basically agree on our statements though
i would essentially treat it as a fact honestly
Hell, there’s the Carcano carbine that lacked a sweet spot at all could only headshot within 100m.
Basically a predecessor to Medic carbines in BFV
Actual variety within a weapon class
Meanwhile, I’m more or less stating the same thing the folks over at Symthic would tell you
You know, the go to weapon mechanic analysis group for Battlefield?
thats classic
Yet BFV does the exact same thing. Rifles like the Lee-Enfield and Arisaka are excellent up close, especially with ironsights. Rifles like the Kar98k or Krag-Jorgensen dominate at long range. In addition, Self Loading Rifles dominate midrange with consistent 2HKs, not to mention the Trench Carbine being effectively one of the best "SMGs" in the game for close range
kht120 who helped with symthic was a regular here for the longest time, all they did was datamine and present the stats
Yeah and the AT rifles can 1 shot somebody in the body up to 100M
a ton of shit he personally said was borderline... questionable to be nice about it
And run analysis.
to try to randomly claim credibility by name dropping isnt going to get you far here
hell, i think most will say that probably took away
I just played Battlefield 4 for the first time since like 2015?
Still amazing, runs like a beauty too
I'd say BFV has more variety in the Recon than BF1 by miles when it comes down to it
I know
So you dispute that an entire class of weapons is chronically underperforming?
that one is true gecko now that i see it
I agree in BF1 recons only had bolt actions and they were all super similar and BF5 had like 5 different types of primaries for them
i dont get the quote for that? that has nothing to do with my statement..
i mean what could you give recon in a ww1 game
never have, you jump topics randomly dont you?
You only had infantry rifles which sucked and normal snipers
sorry
YOU BETTER BE
I mean i didnt like them
Yeah they were good with practice
as much as normal snipers

Yet, you’re opposed to the very mechanic that left them out of being chronically underperforming
They took a shit ton more skill to use which i dont have
Oh boy time to break out the whataboutisms
yes.. because not every weapon class has to perform relatively the same..
Holy shit trinova go outside and touch some fucking grass
youre going in circles
i am thonking whether to get the bulldog or ace 23
because that mechanic was incredibly flawed btw
If a weapon class is generally underperforming across all skill levels that’s an indication of poor balancing for that class.
What part of that is so difficult to understand?
- it doesnt underperform across all skill levels...
so youre just flat out lying right there
What if maybe the class isn't underperforming and you just don't fucking like that class
- for the 4th time, not all weapons HAVE to perform the same
THEN USE ANOTHER ONE
can we please talk about something else
"All Skill Levels" inherently means theres a level that is genuinely good and therefore not underperforming lmao
thie is getting boring
...I would suggest looking at global stats for the bolt actions compared to the other weapon classes
this has been an hour long convo with no success of an argument on either side
if someone has god aim a bolt will drastically benefit them over any other weapon...
Good idea can i reccomend you some BF4 weapons
Has this guy just blocked me or something? He seems awful fond of not responding
Prolly lol
yup
yeehaw
how does that mean youre not lying?
Name an archyptype and ill give you one
like isaid, you change topics a lot
Pog
Ach, hans, zis is indeed ze bruh moment.
let us conversate about gunter
Who is gunter
if bfv not having sweetspot mechanics is any indication what the dev team thought about it idk what to tell you
i swear that’s got progressively more deep-fried the more you’ve posted it 
Aight i gotta go
i can only hope dice dont go ask a 15 year old of all the mechanics they want in a game again for future bf titles
If a given weapon is underperforming regardless of player skill level that’s indicative that the weapon itself is not properly balanced. Hell, you can look at the leaderboards for the best players and see their performance stats.
And Trinova maybe "tri" going outside you fucking moron
Sorry, whats your definition of "underperfoming"?
dont insult the guy
is he missing the part where given the right level of skill you can insta kill anyone at any range?
which is opposite of "underperforming across all skills"
Given performance relative to other weapon classes. KPM is good metric as it averages out over time and is generally consistent across classes.
what even is your metric for performance anyway?
sorry bud but this is too far
Hmm, the single shot rifle gets less kills per minute than a submachine gun? Shocker!
lets ignore this is a class based shooter and killing potential isnt the only way to balance a class
Yet it is one of the key metrics in balancing a weapon class

this chat is literally a dumpster fire rn lmao
do me a favor
theres no reasoning with this guy
SMG, LMG, and AR KPM also drops from time spent getting in range. As I said, it averages out over time.
i thought i was stubborn but got damn
ironically, if we are talking about class balance support is wack
What do you mean by time spent getting in range?
Like literal time getting close enough to engage?
Ngl Hess i never managed to pull of rocket kills like this in bf3/4. Gj 
spinning duck
Time spent getting into range is also factored into KPM. So even something like an SMG that can get multiple kills quickly at short range has that averaged out by the need to get in range in the first place.
pulled off 2 in that game
Damn
because spawns and objectives dont commonly share the same exact point..
Too Good for discord 
Ergo, a player’s KPM with a given weapon class tends to average out around a range of values.
I'm slowly uploading all of these to youtube :)
saw you k/d also, crazy i must say
SMH RIPTOR

But by nature, being in close range is typically going to mean more encounters with enemies (and therefore more kill opportunities), not to mention that the average user of those weapons is going to try to spawn closer to the fight.

hes also ignoring that you can spawn directly on points where people are and fight instantly
Exactly
Hess you mainly camp jets with that K/D?
I should upload another emoji later
It’s almost like I said “averages out over time”.
but it doesnt average out over time...
and its almost like you're comparing two vastly different weapon classes with very different ranges and killing potentials, and KPM is going to be inherently different in accordance with that.
you have to naturally spend more time getting into the idea range for a bolt user
this is why your kpm metric is severely flawed
Yes it does. The spawning on top of a firefight with a squad member is counterbalanced by running between caps, for example.
more raccoon emotes 
Technically, you can pad out KPM by redeploying and waiting for your squad to get into battles and spawn on them, but RIP KD
or just spawn on another point
And the different distances between caps and such is averaged out over time as well as maps change.
#streams-and-videos message posted them in #streams-and-videos 😩 @icy sluice
Don't you think being at longer range with a much slower firing rifle that depending on circumstance can be relatively easy to avoid being killed by is going to have an inherently lower KPM? Remember that whole "averaging out" thing you were talking about?
Certainly didn’t in BF1. There they performed on par with all the other weapon classes.
gecc, save yourself
Are they supposed to be private?
You can also pad KPM by switching to your building tool but if someone catches you by surprise, you'll have less time to react
hess did a mistake 
yeah
Oh i see
gotta keep my uploads consistent instead of just vomiting bunch of them
at once
lul

I love Hess's vomit
🤮
Elemau
dont anyways us, everyone star it!
Because it was crutched by an inherently imbalanced (and arguably RNG based) mechanic that didn't return in the sequel for a reason.
out of context messages are great
Imbalanced how, given it was performing on par with the other weapon classes?
Guys dont you see Hess has gotten so many stars before his name is gold 
Trust me, it ain't gold
counterfeit color
Imbalanced in that one of the sole reasons it could perform was "Oh well that guy happens to be x far away, so i can one shot him to the body instead of having to hit him in the head, even though 5 more feet in front of him he'd be fine"
Which weapon class is this discussion about?
Or, in other words, it was exponentially easier to kill at certain ranges just based on a number.
And? Still brought the weapons performance up to par with the other weapon classes. That you think it arbitrary doesn’t cease to make it balanced.
Because the BF4 player base bitch and moaned about it essentially.
But it wasn't balanced...two people could both have bolt action rifles, standing completely still. They could shoot each other at the same time, center mass. One could die, one would shrug it off, just because one person's rifle just happened to be in the magical one-hit-kill zone and the other didn't. Where's the balance there?
because its universally agreed upon to be a dumb mechanic? considering irl and in game..
In the same way that the various shotguns have different one hit kill ranges?
It was derided by players without any consideration for the effects on weapon balance.
... thats your counter argument? they have different OHK ranges extending out, not random humps...
like are you seriously trying to suggest they are the same thing?
Those ranges are no less arbitrary. Likewise the damage drop-off points for other weapons are likewise arbitrary. By definition random humps.
Starboard be pog
i knew you were going to change the goal post instead of answering the question directly
I did answer it.
Damage models are inherently arbitrary
sure, lets accept that as an answer
that just means sweet spots are MORE inherently arbitrary
you seem to think in absolutes
Not any moreso than any other weapon class
at least ohk ranges arbitrarily extending out is an established damage model
but randomly ramping up and ramping down, with the peak being a ohk... thats a problem
one day ill beat you in a dogfight, today just want my day
you got lucky i wasnt in my prime state

Haha, AA Tank go brrrrt
do you have your pitch up on keyboard
should do that
I am going to say what my PC controls are for flying and I want you to tell me how weird it is
what should my keybinds be
It's all subjective really, just go what feels best for you
just bind pitch up to anything that can be held pressed down
How so? By the end of BF1 they solved the communication of the lethal range problem with the glints they added for scoped rifles
if you have it on mouse you have to constantly drag the mouse down
and when you have to move your mouse up to keep dragging it down
you lose time
ahhh
ya i definetely need to do that
My keybindings are W/S = Pitch, A/D = Roll
after i do that ill be able to beat you
@icy sluice if you upload this as an emoji ill give you a cookie
its my personal favourite duck spinning gif
Nah

Unless
I might make this into an emoji
lusty
uhh
!!when
Soon™
damnit

He has a good mousepad
3hp D:
im so unlucky so much of the time
He’s just got a better KD
i either trade with someone or i get someone to comically low amounts of health
Literally happens to me all the time
time to play some bfv at 50 fps and shit graphics 
first time using the MG4 there too so im not using that shit again
I remember killing somebody on 1hp 
sticking to carbines on support
Just popped my medic infinite health pouch in a game with attrition
I use the L86 for support
the LMG's are about as accurate as throwing a napkin at someone
I did use the AWS after I realized how shit the U-100 was but it was probably worse
L86 is surprisingly good
Just get a nintendo switch bro
Superior gaming machine
It also has animal crossing as an exclusive so that’s a plus
Can you get BFv on a switch?
No lol
lol
It has like 30fps at max
Oooohhhhh
i have bfv on my phone
15 usually
I recently started playing titanfall 2, its so good
Used to play it on my iPad Air
it is like, COD but actaully good

you got any games on your phone?
Just drive around in a car and get insane kills
https://streamable.com/dajpt6
i prefer playing bfv on a Wii
And isn’t it supposed to be the FAmiLy fReInDLy console?
Doom and Wolfenstein are on it, so...
Yes
beep beep
Ea uncancel Titanfall 3 it’s underrated and only now people are realising
I’ll hold your ceo hostage if you refuse 🤕
I really want Titanfall 3 😩
just wondering does bf4 support 32:9 properly ?
I have nothing to lose except my irl kd
nah switch is a decent enough console for what it is and it has some nice games, but trying to run a triple A shooter on it is gonna be a struggle to say the least
1/2 switch is a banger
like mine has worse asthma than me trying to run castle crashers i think it'd implode with bfv 
It can barely run warframe and fortnite I doubt it can run battlefields menu screen
How did people get sexy pistols
It’s pretty sus didn’t knew I got it
i was looking at my company and says there’s something new on my side arms ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I never got a pistol that isn’t default #sadness
red devil gun skins are meh
silver plated doe
the other two deluxe ones were nicer

red devil outfit on the other hand? 
What black magic and dark sorcery is this
I wanted that on the M1911 or the Mark 6 revolver if that’s even a thing
silver plated m1911 is the only one of it's kind
Blockade Runner is a nice set
there's only 3 pistol skins that were ever attainable for unlock in MP
The headgear for Blockade Runner goes well with the Denison Camo tops
yeah would love that beanie
nah was deluxe
It just gets added to Your Company as an Airlift
the beanie from death in the afternoon looks like its been washed 50 times
I mean am I gonna get the blockade runner headgear soon or 
wait did you get deluxe edition or
Well I did won the deluxe during the giveaway
so the red devil skins where also from deluxe then right
yeah
how lucky do you have to be to win a giveaway
fairly
its like a 1 in 2k chance to win
Really lucky
the only thing i dont like about bf5 is the ww2 setting but i cant really see a modern battlefield it just seems unnatural
angra did you by chance find a 4 leafed clover before you won the giveaway
No 
I got deluxe, I still use all of the skins given to me from it
3
4
I personally enjoy V the most atm
i love how it went 3,4 and 5
3 and 4
I play 4 now more because 3 can’t redownload and it’s bullshit
dweluxe wasn't as bad as people said imo. they expected premium pass content or something for 20 bucks.
I literally got premium free xD
for bf1/4? those weren given for free yeah :3
inb4 next Battlefield is Battlefield 5
i usually think the latest battlefield is the best one
i've found i never wanted to "go back" to the last one
that's usually the case but i dont truly have a favourite bf game
all are so fun
so why pick a certain one
