battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

Ppl be complaining lol

[vocal zenith]

ppl complain about everything

there are more OP passives like sundances wingsuit that gives physics defying mobility

[lilac dust]

It's very good, but I don't think it's quite to the point where everyone needs to use it. Falks syringe gun can be used quickly to heal yourself then fight someone else. Zain IMO is just slightly better than that in certain engagements

[arctic grove]

Yea true

[vocal zenith]

he is assult though he is supposed to be in the heat of the action

and taking bullets

so having him heal faster isnt really op lol

[arctic grove]

I just wish I can find a character to main I switch too damn much

[vocal zenith]

thats good i dont think "maining" makes much sense for specilists

[arctic grove]

Someone that has a nice playstyle

[vocal zenith]

i think you are supposed to swtich depending on the situation

[upbeat sand]

at this point why not make a tank specialist

[vocal zenith]

id argue there already is

irish

[lilac dust]

I main sundance, but I'm just chilling with zain atm cos I wanna tier 1 some guns and he's a lot of fun in 128 breakthrough

[upbeat sand]

thought you where gonna say dozer

[arctic grove]

I play lis then Tate then Sundance then Irish and now McKay

[vocal zenith]

get railtank, put APS outside, snipe , profit

[arctic grove]

Like fuck

[upbeat sand]

Dozer is pretty much the game's tank

since his sheild lets him suck up bullets and protects the team

[vocal zenith]

ive seen a tank surrounded by like 5 Irish APS lol he was so difficult to kill

[arctic grove]

I want a specialist who can repair vehicles faster and more efficiently

And has an aggressive passive

[upbeat sand]

crawford's getting on

[vocal zenith]

after the specilist rework i think of the the specilist will get an ability to do emergency repair on vehicles

[upbeat sand]

next update

[vocal zenith]

yea crawford

[upbeat sand]

i hope boris gets a better passiv e

[arctic grove]

Hopefully Crawford will be that character

[upbeat sand]

its only good if you have another boris and is only boris

[blissful warren]

sometimes its annoying when on router are more the one user, when i disconnect all of them, you can play, and yes there are some microlags

[arctic grove]

Aw but his tier one req me to get kills wit the fucking Gatling gun Ughhh

I’m shit at postitioning

[vocal zenith]

1 word rush XL

[upbeat sand]

play defence

also get an irish with you

to make it so enemies cant shoot your feet and stop people from spamming their launchers at you

[vocal zenith]

oh yea IRISH + crawford is BS lol

[arctic grove]

I just kind of wish his gadget was like a death machine in call of duty lol

[vocal zenith]

btw does irish APS destroy HE tank rounds

[upbeat sand]

i got sick of the sudden sfar usage boost and people only using the launcher and never using the BULLETS FROM THE G U N

[arctic grove]

But that be asking too much

[upbeat sand]

so i mained irish from s1

[arctic grove]

No

[vocal zenith]

i swear i saw it work againts tank rounds

[arctic grove]

Beta days

[upbeat sand]

the aps destorys all projectiles except tank stuff

[vocal zenith]

thats me btw lol, ive been using that gun only for the incindiary nades lol

plus the SFAR is basicly a DMR LOL

[upbeat sand]

thats the problem

its an AR not a dmr

[vocal zenith]

well why not both 😂

[lilac dust]

Apart from the railgun tank. Tanks need a buff

[arctic grove]

Also, I kind of wish you can takeoff the grenade launcher

[upbeat sand]

cause the dm7 exists

[arctic grove]

Ye health buff imo

Or APS

[vocal zenith]

i was outsniping people >200m with the SFAR with a 4x scope againts ppl usings sniper riffles lol

[arctic grove]

And BRING BACK THE FUCKING SHOTGUN TANK GUN

I liked using that

[upbeat sand]

yeah the thing need a range nerf

and more recoil

idk why dice only slight nerfed it by damage

cause it dosent really do anythign

[vocal zenith]

well the SFAR is kinda garbo in cqb though

[upbeat sand]

well you do have standard issue

which just turns the gun into a ak24

[arctic grove]

Year 2 is gonna have a honey badger

I feel it

[vocal zenith]

oh yea i forgot about that

[upbeat sand]

also the damage can outgun high rpm guns in cqc

[lilac dust]

GOD I HOPE SO.

[upbeat sand]

which is why

[vocal zenith]

have u tried the am40 btw

[lilac dust]

Honeybadger is 👌 👌 👌 👌 👌

[vocal zenith]

the AM40 is kinda nuts

[upbeat sand]

yes i got the drum

not really my type of gun

[arctic grove]

Like cmon your gonna give dmr’s a intergrated stealth weapon why can’t assault rifles

[upbeat sand]

i got the m16s rn

and vcar

[vocal zenith]

lol

[upbeat sand]

cause vcar is god teir

people who say it sucks

sucks at tapping

[arctic grove]

VCAR is S+ tier

That thing is serverly underrated

[upbeat sand]

you dont even need the drum

its good enough by itself

[next onyx]

I theorised this to Alex.

[lilac dust]

After tier 1ng the nvk pistol I am in NO rush to use the vcar and my fingers will thank me 😇

[next onyx]

Bring in the m5 rattler.

[upbeat sand]

also

[next onyx]

Call it the m5b.

[upbeat sand]

Bullets from any firearm
Shells from any autocannon
MPAT Shell
HEAT Shell
Anti-Tank Mines
127mm Anti-Vehicle Rocket Pack
Standard and Bolt Rack of Ghostmaker R10

[arctic grove]

Ye

[upbeat sand]

irish cant destory these

[next onyx]

Have it so that you can take off its suppressor, But you can swap between a normal short barrel and a shortened suppressor.

[upbeat sand]

wait this dosent say STAFF shells

HMMmmmmmm

[next onyx]

With the option for a 40 round subsonic mag,.

[arctic grove]

So basically the same as the BSVM

But as a ASR

[next onyx]

670 RPM 4HK, Short barrel pushing it to 720 RPM, The short suppressor giving it even greater velocity penalties.

ASR sorry?

[arctic grove]

Assault rifles

[next onyx]

Yeah, Though classed as a submachine gun with all the benefits of one.

Look I don't care that carbines are both AR's and SMG's. As long as in game you can give them proper perks.

[arctic grove]

800 rpm would be good

[next onyx]

800RPM 5hk eh.

670 4HK would be better.

[upbeat sand]

i want to see more close combat bsvm amo at cqc and less high power

[next onyx]

To be pushed to 720 RPM.

[arctic grove]

Also dice seriously needs to add repair stations in 2042

They were soo helpful for ammo and repairs for vehicles

Since teammates don’t know shit abt repairs

[upbeat sand]

the reason bfv had that was cause the bfv vehicles where more hardcore and had limited amo and health

[next onyx]

Guess the gun.

[upbeat sand]

2042 does not have that

since your amo is infinite and your vehicle hp will self repair

[arctic grove]

Haha idk anything abt guns besides popular ones

[next onyx]

That's the SIG MCX Rattler.

[arctic grove]

So ima guess that is a baby sig

[next onyx]

Actually kinda looks like an SMG.

[upbeat sand]

someone strapped a stock barrel and mag onto a pistol

[lilac dust]

Are suppressors good on the M5 btw? My friend who just started playing used a suppressor on it and said it had too much recoil. Is he correct in this assessment or does he need to try a different suppressor or more attachments?

[upbeat sand]

suppressors just have the same recoil as default i think

[arctic grove]

Suppressor on AC42 is perfect stealth weapon

[vocal zenith]

yea suppresors are worth it

always have one on your plus slots

[upbeat sand]

extended subsonic when

[arctic grove]

LVOA when?

[upbeat sand]

subsonic+suppressor just turns your gun into something from a mlisim

[lilac dust]

He said the M5 had too much recoil when he first started using it on it's own, so It sounds like he's getting a placebo effect using the suppressor lol

[arctic grove]

Yea but the dps is booty

[upbeat sand]

tell him he sucks at recoil control

[vocal zenith]

whats more important is you dont show up on minimap

[upbeat sand]

heashot

[lilac dust]

I was very confused when he said it at first, cos I didn't recall having much issue with the M5 .... ever lol

[arctic grove]

I hit upperchest more then headshots……

[vocal zenith]

might just be visual recoil

[upbeat sand]

get the pp put a subsonic and supp you get a ton of amo and stealth\

[vocal zenith]

increase your FOV to reduce it

[lilac dust]

He came from MW2 tho LOL

[somber widget]

[lilac dust]

That game is visual recoil simulator

[arctic grove]

What tf

[vocal zenith]

lol why he complaing then

[arctic grove]

MW2 has waaay more visual recoil tf

[upbeat sand]

MW recoil reminds me of if bfv's random recoil was cranked up to shit fuck

[somber widget]

MW2 poopy stinky diaper

[lilac dust]

Imma just ask him what drugs he's taking

[somber widget]

Everything

wtf

damn i’m trippin

[lilac dust]

You didn't see someone post a wall of text and delete it. You are also taking dru.... jk jk 🤣

[somber widget]

On a side note tho, MW2 poopy stinky diaper

ong fr

[vocal zenith]

i can see why ppl like it but i prefere bf2042

[arctic grove]

OH OH OH A 2042 FAMAS WOULD BE COOL

[somber widget]

Nah bruh we need a MOAB Nuke

[lilac dust]

How are there still people coming into a discord server for a game they dislike and complaining that others enjoy it. There are better uses of someone's time out there

[somber widget]

2042 Battle Royale when?

[arctic grove]

For real look at titanfall players

[somber widget]

[lilac dust]

Typical generic hater response = Calm down bro. It's a prank bro.

[chilly jacinth]

i dont see anyone being upset

[arctic grove]

Me either

[somber widget]

L Ratio + Based + Bozo Bummy Guy

[chilly jacinth]

but i can fix that if you want

[somber widget]

shaking in my boots rn

ong fr

[lilac dust]

😮

[vocal zenith]

holy shit

[somber widget]

Bro bouta hit my mcdonald’s wifi

[chilly jacinth]

it's about as terrible as mw2 electric boogaloo

[lilac dust]

I need to chill yes. Thank you. I am so uncalm right now. I needed that

[vocal zenith]

there are 10 caspers on the enemy team camping at their spawn with their laptops doing nothing lol

[chilly jacinth]

run em over with something

[somber widget]

@lilac dust Damn bro you awesome asf love you

[vocal zenith]

nah

sun tzu said dont stop your enemy from making mistakes im wining on attack because their idiots lol

[spring shell]

Hey can i complete EBLC-RAM requirments through bots ?

[arctic grove]

Ye

Wait no

U mean unlocking the ram?

[spring shell]

yeah

[arctic grove]

Yea can’t do that in bots

[spring shell]

i need to get 80 kills or assists with those that hoverboard

[lilac dust]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzUc3Eqzzos Live footage of me right now - I am Adam Sandler

You got me bro. I actually thought I responded to the wrong person at first before I realized you edited 🤣

Bro get a life lol

[vocal zenith]

im not gonna put the effort of doing that while typing discord in the middle of a game

[cobalt spindle]

anyone really enjoying their time with battlefield 2042?

I am not

[vocal zenith]

i am

[chilly jacinth]

i am

[cobalt spindle]

Hoping the next battlefield is really a battlefield game

lol

feels too similar to apex legends

[vocal zenith]

nah i dont really care if they stick to what battlefield games traditionally are its all about innovation if i am having fun its a good game in my book

[lilac dust]

Ironic you say that. I'm so burnt out on apex and all I wanna play is 2042

[chilly jacinth]

shit plays nothing like apex

[vocal zenith]

in the end thats whats most important about a video game if you enjoy it if you dont play another one

[vocal zenith]

and i have to agree with arc this is nothing like apex lol

it could be objectively bad but if im having fun so what

i play games to have fun

[lilac dust]

You're harassing people for liking the game. You are indeed stopping people from liking trash

[cobalt spindle]

then it is not a battlefield game if you lose your own identity

come on lol

I am done

[vocal zenith]

not to critique it

again there might be but if i am currently having fun whats wrong with that

[lilac dust]

Dude I need to get another bucket up here for all these tears

[cobalt spindle]

probably won't buy another battlefield game since they horribly released at a shitty state at launch

[vocal zenith]

yea no shit i have gamepass i have thousands of game i can play but im currently having fun with bf2042

[cobalt spindle]

yeah, I am done lol

[lilac dust]

It's a sad generation we live in. People view well-thought out engagement as anger or crying to cover up there insecurities 🤣

[vocal zenith]

look i could care less if you think this game is dogshit i play games i like you play games u like

[chilly jacinth]

wrong reply moment

[lilac dust]

I had to do a double take there lol

[chilly jacinth]

I mean you're here trying to get a reaction out of people

[pine roost]

It’s not really a discussion when you just say the other person is wrong constantly

[chilly jacinth]

waste of air really

[vocal zenith]

whats with ppl coming over to this chat to shit on 2042 lol if i dont like a game i just move on

[chilly jacinth]

some people feel wronged or something

and can't let it go

[pine roost]

There are a fair few things I don’t like about 2042 but I love battlefield too much to just forget about it

[stray surge]

120 person breakthrough is awesome

[lilac dust]

It's the same song and dance over and over. People come for the reaction. They know people enjoy it and play it, but they just want to slap their narrative over it all. They want reactions and one sided conversations.

[chilly jacinth]

pretty much all ea games are on gamepass no?

[vocal zenith]

i was shitting on this game like everyone else on the bandwagon but free on gamepass compelled me to try it for myself and guess what i ended up liking it

[chilly jacinth]

after a year or something

[lilac dust]

All dogshit has a following. Why do you think multiple dogs sniff other dogs shit

[chilly jacinth]

Dice is actually putting effort fixing the game though

[vocal zenith]

EA is a billion dollar company they gonna keep doing what they gonna keep doing if it makes em money im just here for the good games that i enjoy

[lilac dust]

It was dogshit at launch yes, but it is good now. Maybe that has something to do with people still playing it. I dunno. Just a thought 🙃

[lucid goblet]

I will remind you folks to read the #500058972234055710 ,especially Rule 10.....

[chilly jacinth]

keep going

[lucid goblet]

cute

[chilly jacinth]

see what happens

[lilac dust]

Funs over for you, yes.

[lucid goblet]

Don't like it,feel free to leave

[vocal zenith]

again let people like what they want it doesnt hurt you

[chilly jacinth]

so you're one of those ban evaders

[lilac dust]

Have we caught a crime in the making? 👀

[lucid goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/die-hard-well-cigarette-badass-bruce-willis-gif-4819381

[vocal zenith]

quick question do people even ads with the g57 i feel like i hit more shots hipfiring than adsing lol

[chilly jacinth]

i prefer hipfiring

[vocal zenith]

cool

il try that then

[chilly jacinth]

i only ads when i have it in single fire and trying to long range people

[pine roost]

You can slide, jump and bunny hop with insane accuracy when hip fired with it so that’s what I do

[lilac dust]

Alright, that's all 2042 SMG's, assault rifles, LMG's, and all the new seasonal weapons Tier 1'd... I think it's time I go for G57 tier 1

[vocal zenith]

lol i just realized wrong reply lol

[lilac dust]

The first time I read it I was thinking wait does he think the jokes i was making about the game being trash weren't jokes lmao

[vocal zenith]

nah sorry about that i was going in between a game and discord lol

trying to multi task

[neon current]

What is best gun bundle to buy for coins in store? What current promotion is best if u would buy any?

[next onyx]

I mean.

That really depends;.

The bundle with the SCAR skin in it is nice.

The twilight bundle is nice too.

[neon current]

Which one is it with scar

[wide shore]

I wouldn’t go for bundles. I’d just say get the ones you like.

A lot of the time bundles have a lot of extra junk

Best skins to me are the ones with custom sights.

Like the silver plated scar skin with the sweet red dot

[silk surge]

I finally got the medcrate T1, been having it in my main loadout for almost a year.

Insane how long that one took.

[next onyx]

Because suppression isn't in the game.

Which by the way, It's good not being in.

[vocal zenith]

i still do suppresive fire with the latv4 30mm lol

because explosions going off around u is suppresion in my book

its about to be even easier

specialization rework recon class will be getting the weapon perk of no scope sway during ads

[chilly jacinth]

i dont even notice scope sway now

[pearl ridge]

Every game, the shooting gets flatter and flatter

And people praise it for some reason

[next onyx]

That gets people down at most.

[pine roost]

supression being visual is fine, but it affecting your accuracy is just stupid.
The enemy misses, so because of that, if i'm actually on target and have better aim, i should miss too?

so then your shot misses, his does too and it just extends fights beyond a reasonable level in the worst case scenario

[crimson spade]

dam

the mastery at the end

is just top notch

[prisma sphinx]

I think i would like to see operation metro breakthrough chaos mode 😆😆😆

[vocal zenith]

yes please

[prisma sphinx]

finally I can enjoy the game now

It’s really good mode I think

[vocal zenith]

i think it will be better since irish APS makes it less nade spam festival

[next onyx]

BOOM./

[low timber]

Shaka laka

I thought your tank was low on health because the hud was red.

[pearl ridge]

The fact this game keeps putting me in ending games is annoying enough without there even being persistent lobbies

So there isn’t even any benefit to sticking around.

IT DID IT AGAIN

FUCKS SAKE

[vocal zenith]

i noticed when i stick around after a game

i tend to get new games

[sharp marten]

Nice shooting way

[granite island]

Any information on breakaway or discarded rework

I actually hope discarded rework is a better change than breakaway

Because it needs it

[wary portal]

I getting a hang of using the railgun. Well for abit. It'll be a marksman rifle for me.

Seriously it's a fucking sniper/marksman that im digging. Apologize for my curiosity.

[arctic grove]

Why does Friday night battlefield start so late? Super annoying

Missed FNBs for weeks now

[still vault]

Timezones, late for some, early for others

Nothing stops anyone from gathering earlier and playing though

[arctic grove]

Anyone else having issues odd time when playing 2042 on xbox?
Certain buttons not working

Just had an issue where every button worked barring melee

[wary portal]

What's the next Friday night battlefield gonna be?

[arctic grove]

You can follow this channel in your own server.

https://discord.com/channels/140933721929940992/907954362637234246

[chilly jacinth]

FNB is swedish time

cause you know

swedish devs

[arctic grove]

Also add this role to be notified.

It just sucks that it’s time gated like that. 9pm eastern for the US which is probably it’s biggest player base.

It should be all day Friday, for a 24 hour period

[wary portal]

Thanks

[arctic grove]

24 hours. Let me ask you a question.

Do you watch Twitch?
What is the longest session you have ever ever played BF?
You would want a community manager to sit for 24hrs each week likely unpaid in discord hosting?

seems a bit unreasonable, considering it would loose its "luster" after about 4 hours of gameplay and lobbys would not be full any longer.

[wary portal]

@arctic grove is the railgun good for a marksman rifle?

[chilly jacinth]

its a sniper and assault rifle in one

[shy latch]

we already have infos about Breakaway rework, nothing on Discarded tho but theoretically should be the last rework and should come out on April

[next onyx]

Oh god.

I completely forgot about breakaway.

[chilly jacinth]

rework looks fantastic for it

[arctic grove]

hey somthing went wrong
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOW1SX70FIQ

[chilly jacinth]

hopefully it plays well

[next onyx]

Yeah I'm hoping that too.

I'm glad the complaint that I had which involved the oil rig being too far away was heard.

[wintry parrot]

Just started playing again after like a months absence, why do I keep seeing levitating players

[next onyx]

You shouldn't be that's weird.

[shy latch]

maybe is because of meditation

[wintry parrot]

Iunno what it is, I'll be on the top of one of the factories on spearhead, and some guy will just float up in the distance stuck in a walk cycle

[shy latch]

never see something like that honestly

[low timber]

I wonder how the Breaktrough will look on it, will it start from the top again or stay at the explosive silos

[wintry parrot]

If I had to guess its some kind of rubberbanding

Pretty funny to watch though, if a little distracting

[shy latch]

could be, no idea

[granite island]

Hopefully this will improve breakaway on breakthrough gameplay

[arctic grove]

I don't think its viable in the current play style I see most people playing in. I really want it to be good, on paper its great. I just don't see utilization due to movement of players in the run and gun fashion. Its going to take a highly skilled player to utilize it correctly/comfortably/ reliably.
sry for the delay was Alt/tabbed.

[chilly jacinth]

its good as a sniper rifle

[wintry parrot]

I forgot how much fun this game is tbh, nice to be able to play something I'm good at after torturing myself playing mw2 for a few weeks

[chilly jacinth]

and not as good as a marksman rifle

[wintry parrot]

The 38-13 K/D ratio on my first game back makes the future domestic violence charge go away

[shy latch]

the whole gameplay will change tho with the introduction of class system on patch 3.2

[wintry parrot]

Eh, its fiine, all the gadgets I use will be within the class I main anyways

[next onyx]

I hope it'll use its 128p starting point.

[wintry parrot]

I'd be royally pissed if they took away C5 from assault

[arctic grove]

Just to further comment on that Charge Rifle, most of the players that are familiar with hitscan and can land shots reliably (imo) will still go for something they have more freedom miss on with a larger mag. So I am unsure how to rank the Charge Rifle "good or not"

i waaaant it to be good - i love the concept - i still think it has its own niche area of game play - all in all a good introduction to the weapons category

[wintry parrot]

When does the class update drop anyways

[low timber]

Same

[upbeat sand]

Next update

This month

[wintry parrot]

Rad

Gonna be interesting to see how it effects teamplay and the playercount

[next onyx]

How's it feel not having a game that's rigged and you can just cruise.

[sharp marten]

Why is skill based damage a thing 🗿

Not on bf but on other titles

[next onyx]

I don't think it is a thing but due to how they've handled a lot of things in that game I'm not surprised people think like that.

[wise zodiac]

That idea is so dumb

Like, that's the quickest way to turn people away from your game

[upbeat sand]

Bf1 trial version*

[upbeat sand]

Imagine being so good that your damage does down to -1

And shooting enemies heals them

[sharp marten]

Like I just don’t get why it exists

[sharp marten]

It’s practically saying hey your way to good so here’s a nerf

[sharp marten]

Hasn’t it been proven it’s a actual thing in cod

[remote kiln]

COD uses SBMM, it's used in more or less every title in some form

[sharp marten]

I could be wrong

[remote kiln]

some stricter than others, MW2 uses EOMM mixed in

[void gorge]

Good afternoon, can someone tell me how the matchmaking of the new bf works? because I just left a match on the rubble map and then I joined a match with the same map but I left and then I think the matchmaking is broken

[next onyx]

I know what it uses but I mean is that considering what they've done with their shitty eomm I wouldn't be surprised if they rigged some thing in

[sharp marten]

Eomm?

[next onyx]

The matchmaking works, albeit barely.

Engagement optimised match making.

They want you to play as long as possible.

By rigging the game.

[sharp marten]

I really just don’t want to play cod like I’ll only play it when my friend does

[remote kiln]

if youre talking like "are they rigging it", the answer's yes with MW2 because its much stricter with skill disparity than MW or past titles

[next onyx]

What I mean is that if they're rigging anything further than their match making.

[sharp marten]

It’s just not fun dropping 30 kills with 10 deaths and then absolutely getting shot on

[next onyx]

That's what I'm trying to say.

[remote kiln]

its not you had just bad luck, battlefield uses a team balancer system, theres none involving "you go to x server", its just down to how full a server is or not

[remote kiln]

er i mean its possible? i suppose, dunno how theyd do that feasibly other than stats though

[next onyx]

If they never rigged it in the first place we wouldn't be thinking this.

I heavily doubt they would be doing this shit but considering the state of it all it won't get out of my head.

Infact with the state of the industry its something I can't stop thinking of.

[remote kiln]

i think it depends on what you mean by rigging

SBMM in itself rigs for x conclusion

[dusty holly]

They need to add animations when helicopters are destroyed. Just like bf4 when they spiral around

[void gorge]

can you tell me with what sources you say that? but if this is true I think it's bad because in bf 4 and 5 for example it was better because regardless of whether the server is full or not, when you finish a game a different map always comes

[next onyx]

Set it up in a way to directly benefit them in expense of the playerbase.

I saw this guy have to carry his team on mw2 cause the matchmaking set him to lose.

[remote kiln]

youre confusing servers with playlists, bf4/3 etc had rotational maps, there are some in the game that are map exclusive, you just got unlucky by joining the same map (if youre doing conqest exodus, if its breakthrough chaos then map selections are limited)

[remote kiln]

well yeah thats the goal of SBMM inherently

[next onyx]

Oh I'm aware that it is it's goal.

But I mean it's just so fucking stupid.

The beta in mw2 felt genuine.

[remote kiln]

thank corporations hiring psychologists ig

[next onyx]

Mix of skill but didn't feel too much.

They make us think everything's out for us and those who are sucked in are sucked in for good.

[remote kiln]

well yeah that will naturally occur

SBMM is beneficial for lower skill/casual players as it evens out the disparity, so the bad player performs better artificially, player does well = keeps playing

[next onyx]

It's why I play battlefield which feels like my last haven and look at the state it's in lol.

[remote kiln]

meh DICE to their credit have their pulse on the playerbase pretty well in regards to matchmaking

have for a few years now even when SBMM was lightly tested

[next onyx]

Bf4 felt like it had it due to its skill system but didn't feel too bad.

I just want my server browser back with proper playlists.

[remote kiln]

4 did have light matchmaking

was pretty fair

[next onyx]

Ye.

[magic bloom]

I’m halfway to getting dozer T1

God I hate this

[kindred flint]

Youre brutal way..smh

[radiant prism]

Keep going, brother.

Let the shield guide your hand.

And He will be there to guide your soul.

[magic bloom]

Is it gonna hit a point where I just become a dozer main around the 600 kill range

[radiant prism]

Yes

And you will love it

[kindred flint]

embrace the pain...this is your penance for drone c5ing

[magic bloom]

To be fair

I only did it to air vehicles

Which took way more skill to do

[kindred flint]

lmaoo... just afking on the drone "oh hes flying past..bam"

[magic bloom]

No I actually waited for the dumb pilots who’d sit there in the transports back when they were extremely op

[radiant prism]

BF2042 AA mine

[sharp marten]

I’m hoping for a day where SBMM just becomes obsolete because of the hatred it Carry’s with it but I doubt we’ll see that anytime soon

[magic bloom]

We need it.

[radiant prism]

Just get a drone with C5, sit it up in the sky somewhere, and hope a HIND runs into it

[magic bloom]

It’s always the hind pilots too

Condors always seem to be smarter in my experience

[radiant prism]

Dunno why I capitalized Hind

Gym makes me act different smh

Like I’m gaining muscle and hopefully losing a little weight but I’m losing brain cells too

[magic bloom]

I lose brain cells on a daily basis

[radiant prism]

True

I mean I race karts so I know those gas fumes do something LOL

[magic bloom]

Hehe funny smell

Dude dozers hit reg is so bad with his shield

[radiant prism]

Let the shield guide your hand, child.

[solid imp]

fighting with dozer be like

just waiting for him to get distracted and turn to the side

[magic bloom]

I’m now at 420 kills with dozer

[sharp marten]

[solid imp]

good work 🙂

[sharp marten]

Alright kaos why don’t you lower your voice

[arctic grove]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sharp marten]

You’re being pretty aggressive right now

[magic bloom]

[fervent grotto]

Guys is the rail gun good?

[solid imp]

🤣

[magic bloom]

Yes

[solid imp]

I'll tone it down

[sharp marten]

There you go again yelling

[magic bloom]

Literally just hit’em with the “Watch your tone boy”

Where is window i require boins

As I am poor

I JUST GOT A RICOCHET KILL AS DOZER

[hybrid totem]

When you attack full health vehicles, any driver worth the position will find cover before you can do anything. If you attack vehicles that are already injured it's far more effective

[arctic grove]

Wut?! I’m talking about the Friday Night Battlefield special server game modes. No need for a community manager in a discord. No clue what you are talking about.

[fervent grotto]

I’m not having a lot of luck with it. Is it a one shot headshot?

[magic bloom]

Yea

[hybrid totem]

I imagine so, but I don't often get headshotted with it

I also don't run it myself, my experience is from being shot with it

[remote kiln]

sadge

[next onyx]

Creepy crawler.

[radiant prism]

Angel does It™️ again

[fervent grotto]

Yeah I’ve not seen anyone using it really. I haven’t played in a bit so my aims a little mid, but perhaps once I get more settled in it will work better for me.

[next onyx]

It's a ohk to the head with semi auto.

[hybrid totem]

The worst I've seen it used for so far is posting up at the top of the manifest radio tower, and keeping vehicles pinned down

But even then most players who do that lack the attention span to wait for the right moment, so...

[royal trail]

something i want to be added to the game is an exit to desktop option from ingame

[next onyx]

I love popping heads with it.

Its so cheesy.

[royal trail]

from in a match

[hybrid totem]

ALT+F4, no joke

[remote kiln]

thats a way of doing it

[royal trail]

ye well i want a more legit way

but ure right

[hybrid totem]

...like an in-game way? Feel like that'd be pretty low on the list of intended changes

[royal trail]

maybe but i feel like i dont wanna wait for everything to load

to then have to press exit again

[hybrid totem]

imo a windows option exists so why would any program need it?

[royal trail]

many games got exit to desktop

[royal swan]

Boring clip ngl

I was expecting a large amount of roadkills

[remote kiln]

in truth i killed 5 by running them over but they shot me out after so i had to delete it

[mossy badge]

you have the best username here

[royal swan]

That would've been better than that other video

[royal swan]

Homeslice is a decent username

[mossy badge]

MW2 is fire 🔥

[royal swan]

Comes from the same guy that likes the two worst call of duties

And I hope you are talking about the original mw2

Not the boring competitive one where the only thing going good for it is DMZ

Anyways I love the addition of thermal and nightvison scopes in battlefield, can't wait to see them

[mossy badge]

I am here following rule 10

[magic bloom]

I Hope we get a Night map

[mossy badge]

but I love the old mw2 and new one too

[royal swan]

Yo same, makes those nightvison scope actually useful

[magic bloom]

That or make like half a map in a pitch black cave or tunnel so we’d have reason to use flashlights or night vision

[elfin void]

Yeah that sounds like so much fun, with the gamer dad's proning in random spots with their bipod LMGs

[royal swan]

They put smgs specialization with support

Bruh

Engineer has lmgs specializations now

[hexed mango]

when did they change that

[copper fulcrum]

Internally. The one they shared with us was the final decision, what temporyal leaked was before that

[next onyx]

Recons and assault I think fits in better.

[fervent grotto]

I agree. I wish flashlights had a use past their buffs they give to the guns.

[hexed mango]

the one they shared with us, as in the dev update, that has lmg with support.

[next onyx]

The "newer" ones.

But I hope we get what they originally set out to do.

They're probably internally testing it.

[hexed mango]

as in support lmg, assault assault, recon snipers and engineer utility

[next onyx]

I love the idea of three extra mags for assault.

This fixes a part of the ammo economy for assault.

To a degree.

I think engineer should have profs with smgs and support with lmgs.

[hexed mango]

thought assault was faster sprint to fire

[hexed mango]

i agree

utility is stupid

[next onyx]

Yeah I'm not sure what to think of that.

[magic bloom]

Isn’t the LMG buff literally just extra mags

[hexed mango]

and better bipod

[next onyx]

And extra bipod accuracy.

[magic bloom]

Or belts I guess

Ok that’s actually pretty nice

[copper fulcrum]

But do we need faster draw time for an smg?

[next onyx]

No.

[hexed mango]

no

[magic bloom]

Mackay is about to go nuts

[next onyx]

Just extra ammo.

[copper fulcrum]

Yeah it's already like instant

[hexed mango]

reload or extra ammo

reload is alr quick

[next onyx]

I did discuss it over to Alex about an idea I had.

[hexed mango]

but in case they wanted to keep the same thing on different guns

[next onyx]

Where classes like assault should carry extra ammo for assault rifles.

This also applies to the others too, support carries extra ammo for lmgs, etc.

[hexed mango]

what if there was the base proficiency of extra mags for the target weapon + a performance proficiency

[copper fulcrum]

As if LMGs need that extra ammo

[magic bloom]

I now cant wait to have my belt fed just spraying down hallways

[next onyx]

Yeah I was looking at that echo. Assault maybe having that faster sprint to fire.

Yeah Lmgs don't really need extra ammo but at the same I don't care. It'll keep to them.

[magic bloom]

Wait they carry extra ammo belts or actual ammo in the gun

[hexed mango]

like assault gets more for ars, engineer more for smgs, support more for lmgs, recon more for snipers

and assault gets quicker sprint to fire, support better bipods, engineer faster reload (or smth else), and recon better hold breath

[fervent grotto]

Maybe then faster reload?

[copper fulcrum]

When bipod is mounted, belt fed LMGs don't need to be reloaded, instead if you run out of ammo you will start taking from the inventory/stockpile

[fervent grotto]

I think it shouldn’t be bipod focused for lmgs. It needs to be a more general thing, like faster reloads or quicker sprint to fire.

[next onyx]

No.

Just an extra reload that's all.

[copper fulcrum]

Yes to mine though

[next onyx]

I don't mind that ironically but at the same time eh.

[vivid sail]

Get rid of specialist forever and we all be good

[magic bloom]

I mean most lmgs don’t even have a long reload

[copper fulcrum]

You know where I got that idea from?

[fervent grotto]

No I was just using those as an example. They are general buffs, not centered around one particular attachment.

[next onyx]

Black ops 3?

The stock pile ball.

[hexed mango]

i mean why not, supports laying down cover fire for team. perhaps just better lmg control across the board?

[copper fulcrum]

Was it in there? I know it was also in CoD WWII

[next onyx]

I know there's another thing from bf5 with 5v5.

Yeah in black ops 3 on zombies you could get a ball that'd use your reserve ammo.

[copper fulcrum]

Also there are 25 specialists confirmed to arrive in the next Battlefield game

[magic bloom]

I feel like they could do something where lmgs have something like the 249 does how you can shove regular mags in it and it should work and feed right

[fervent grotto]

That makes more sense to me yeah. That way you don’t have to focus on one attachment if you want the buff like other classes

[vivid sail]

Fuck that is so lame what are they doing to this game

[hexed mango]

assault makes sense for sprint to fire, seems like an assault thing, reload speed does kinda feel like an engineer thing, and break is easily recon, but i don’t think support should recycle that

[copper fulcrum]

Improving it

[vivid sail]

All the other bf were sick

[hexed mango]

yeah that makes more sense

[next onyx]

Pdws for support that has me already concerned.

[hexed mango]

he’s joking

[copper fulcrum]

Or

[next onyx]

More so than assault rifles.

[copper fulcrum]

am I?

[vivid sail]

Lmao

[hexed mango]

yes you are shut up

[copper fulcrum]

Am I?

[magic bloom]

Hey now

[hexed mango]

hey yesterday

[magic bloom]

Hey tomorrow

[hexed mango]

ok i gotta get ready for work

[magic bloom]

Bye

[hexed mango]

[fervent grotto]

Why would they get PDWS? They have always been engineer/medic class guns

[next onyx]

Support in this game is medic.

[copper fulcrum]

and ammo giver

[fervent grotto]

Oh wait

[magic bloom]

Support in the general sense is the ammo guy

[fervent grotto]

Ohhhhhh ok

[next onyx]

Support should just keep lmgs.

[copper fulcrum]

Support in the general sense is SOLDIER WHO SUPPORTS

[fervent grotto]

Wait so support is medic/support meshed together?

[magic bloom]

It does put a smile on my face when I just start dumping 200 round belts of ammo into people

[magic bloom]

Yes

[next onyx]

Better bipod and increased ammo sounds pretty decent.

For assault the three extra mags is all it needs.

[copper fulcrum]

I like dumping a different type of thing on someone

[magic bloom]

400 round belt avancys

[copper fulcrum]

50 round belt Avancys

[chilly jacinth]

why stop at 400

[magic bloom]

600

[chilly jacinth]

go all the way to an endless belt

[copper fulcrum]

20 round belt PKP

[chilly jacinth]

that you drag around

[copper fulcrum]

You leave a trail around the map like a snake

[chilly jacinth]

[copper fulcrum]

If you step on your own belt you die

[magic bloom]

Nah you wear a backpack full of ammo like the SF dudes in Vietnam

[limber lodge]

i take back all the mean things i said about bf

this might be the most fun i've had since apex launched
https://streamable.com/1rz5zx

oop wrong clip

[arctic grove]

Apexfield 2042

[vivid sail]

Alright I’m re downloading BF2042

[limber lodge]

actually gave me flashbacks a little

[drowsy shuttle]

Why? You lost a bet?

[hexed mango]

damn junik

let the man play

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[vivid sail]

No everyone saying it got better so I’ll give it a chance

I’ve been playing bf 5

[fervent grotto]

Colab?!?!???

[drowsy shuttle]

Its a joke, im actually playing it myself lol

[arctic grove]

Yes

[fervent grotto]

Lol that would be hilarious

[drowsy shuttle]

The second i get zain t1 im not touching the xm37 ever again.

[arctic grove]

why??? its a good gadget

[drowsy shuttle]

Its not my style

[next onyx]

His passive is worth playing for me.

[drowsy shuttle]

Absolutely. Thats why im t1 him

But xm37 is just not my thing

[hexed mango]

(skill issue)

[drowsy shuttle]

I admit in this case, probably is

But its also not my style

So its a bit of both

[wintry parrot]

Wonderful

MW2 is the worst 70 bucks I ever did spend

[mossy badge]

That's the best game of 2022 imo

I love it

Sad that I don't have ps5 i would love to play Ragnarok too

Miiw and Ragnarok also spiderman pc

[drowsy shuttle]

Mw2 would've been great, if DMZ was more similar to tarkov.

[mossy badge]

This year last of us 🙌

[arctic grove]

DMZ is as bad as HZ

[drowsy shuttle]

For me game of the year is rdr2

[mossy badge]

Nice game tho

I also loved it

[drowsy shuttle]

Its si good should win every year

[pastel loom]

would you get spiderman and the Miles morales games on pc?

[mossy badge]

For me then it will be black ops ii winning goty every year

[mossy badge]

No separate game

[next onyx]

Was playing with big man freethy on 2042 and he was glad he could just do that.

Oops left ping on.

I'm sorry.

[mossy badge]

I haven't played miles 🥲 it's very short and expensive maybe I will get it in sale

[pastel loom]

and the previous game?

[mossy badge]

Arthur or John

[pastel loom]

it's 60$ on playstation as well

but does get half discounted often

[mossy badge]

It will take time to get that cheap on steam 🥲

[pastel loom]

🙂💧

[sharp marten]

[mossy badge]

How you doing alexia

[sharp marten]

Not bad homie hbu

[mossy badge]

I am fine just sad that after this Sunday I will not be able to play any video games

[sharp marten]

Why’d that?

[mossy badge]

Going back to university

[sharp marten]

Damn bro I’ll miss you

[mossy badge]

[spare quest]

become a mobile gamer

[copper fulcrum]

It's always nice to take a break

[mossy badge]

I will be using discord everyday

[mossy badge]

Mobile games hmmmmm

War zone mobile will bring back Verdansk map I will try that

[sharp marten]

[spare quest]

i didn't know that warzone mobile exists

[elfin void]

So apparently the warhawk compensator affects accuracy of the underbarrel GL

[mossy badge]

I will show you wait

[arctic grove]

Is the MP9 any good?

Unlocking it soon

[copper fulcrum]

It's a good fast-firing SMG

[arctic grove]

I can kill people from ridiculous ranges with the pp29 lol wondering if MP9 is any good at range

[copper fulcrum]

Ammo depletes a lot faster than the PP-29 due to the increased rate of fire and smaller magazine, unless you get a drum mag of course

[drowsy shuttle]

Its ok. Pbx is better

[arctic grove]

PP is good too

[stoic ferry]

love the new ravic video. sniping chopperpilots is good

[spare quest]

ravic is the best AA you can have in your team, no need for a wildcat

[stoic ferry]

true

funny back in bf4 when kids on server thought he was cheating all the time

[next onyx]

I was just watching a stream with musick in it.

Well sorry I was just watching musicks stream.

[spare quest]

pretty sure he got called a cheater in every bf so far, sadly not 2042 because no global chat

[next onyx]

He seems to be in a better state.

[spare quest]

isn't he always playing with ravic

[stoic ferry]

most of the time on stream yes

[chilly jacinth]

hes gotten called a cheater by his teammates in 2042

[spare quest]

[stoic ferry]

haha thats nice.

the one thing most FPS games have I guess. idiots calling better players cheaters

[arctic grove]

That’s odd

[regal gazelle]

i think it's true

[next onyx]

That makes sense.

Barrel attachments will affect the gl.

It is a side effect.

[kindred flint]

which makes absolutely no sense

[eager spire]

🤔

[copper fulcrum]

I mean, game logic. It does say it will increase weapon accuracy and the grenade launcher is a part of the weapon

[kindred flint]

well the funny one is short barrel masterkey

[pine arch]

Why are tanks so shit

[spare quest]

skill issue

[pine arch]

Nah bruh. Every dude got an rpg on their backs. It's impossible to counter them all

[eager spire]

because this game is poorly balanced

[spare quest]

there is no rpg in 2042

[kindred flint]

dont be like that

[pine arch]

@eager spire bro you hate every game

[chilly jacinth]

there is in portal

[eager spire]

hey. that's the reason.

also that's not true.

[spare quest]

portal is 80% xp farms and 19% hc servers

[chilly jacinth]

true

i wish that they would ban hc servers

all of them are shit

[vivid sail]

Anyone wanna squad up ? Bf 2042

[kindred flint]

...dare I ask what the forbidden 1% is? 💀

[spare quest]

just random servers

some people are still trying to bait people with zombie servers

[lavish patrol]

So in 3.2, Assault class will start with even more ammo?

[spare quest]

who said that

[lavish patrol]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D68PdB6qvg

[spare quest]

data mines

so it must be true

[lavish patrol]

Well either way, gonna be interesting when update drops

[spare quest]

new update new bugs

[arctic grove]

In my opinion assault should get ammo crate engineer repair tool recon the tug and support med crate

[lavish patrol]

I remember when assault was the medic

But I wouldn't be opposed to assault being the ammo carrier

[copper fulcrum]

Assault gets Med-Pen

Sundance with Med-Pen and C5

[drowsy shuttle]

They gonna hate me

[sharp marten]

How many months do we have left in s3?

Like one more not including Jan

[spare quest]

many weeks

[copper fulcrum]

Many suns

[drowsy shuttle]

7 or 8 weeks

[silk surge]

Finally reached S300

[copper fulcrum]

Took you long enough

[spare quest]

skill issue

[drowsy shuttle]

Okay, Zain tier 2.. 640 kills/assists to go... slowly but steady

[wintry parrot]

Naw naw its all good, ping me all you like

I prefer it

[next onyx]

Zain tier 1 within a week and a bit. Had too much fun with him.

Here's a tip.

Do lots of prodding.

His xm is a finger.

[drowsy shuttle]

Rorsch is good for a thing, 3 or 4 shots in a row on a tank and they put it in reverse.

[spare quest]

tank bullying ftw

[naive quiver]

Dam bro

[magic bloom]

Why does my damn med pen just stop healing mid heal

I’m not taking damage it just stops

[drowsy shuttle]

@next onyx well, im playing on 128 bt to try to get the most kills and assists possible.. but at the same time theres a lot of people using irish trophy system.. but im basically behind and trying to flank and spam the xm37

[copper fulcrum]

You've grown addicted to it that's why

[next onyx]

On normal conquest and bt you'll have greater success.

[spare quest]

i never get kills with the damn xm launcher

[copper fulcrum]

skill issue

[spare quest]

indeed

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah probably.. need to give it a try. I think exposure BT is probably the best to get the most kills/assists with xm37

[spare quest]

i want the old c5 drones back

[magic bloom]

We’re never getting that back sadly

I Just want the ability to fly on my drone

[drowsy shuttle]

To be fair i started to t1 zain like 4 or 5 days ago.. so already tier 2 is not that bad..

[magic bloom]

I started dozer two days ago and I’m already at 450 something kills

[spare quest]

gonna try to t1 soflam later

[copper fulcrum]

Just look at people

[drowsy shuttle]

Dozer, crawford, lis its the specialists i will never t1 ... probably irish too

Oh and boris

[magic bloom]

I’ve got Irish at mastery 100

[spare quest]

lis would be easy if they add assists

[spare quest]

medic crate t1 is gonna be pain

[magic bloom]

Stinger is probably gonna be the hardest T1

[spare quest]

still more fun to use

[magic bloom]

Yeah

I Just like watching the missile fly lol

[spare quest]

sometimes you get like 5-10 aircrafts in a round and sometimes every rocket misses

[magic bloom]

They don’t even miss the helicopters just get flares back almost instantly

[still vault]

Zain and xp bonus on the Chaos Breakthrough gamemode makes me happy

finally get some Zain action going

[magic bloom]

You know what made me happy?

[still vault]

not this

I assume

[magic bloom]

I ran into a crowd of people with dozer and killed 5 people with one smash of my shield

[still vault]

That is pretty fun too

[spare quest]

only 55k? damn

[still vault]

I'm happy with it, all that matters

[kindred flint]

did you mod your shield to have a little windshield wiper on it to get rid of all that blood?

[magic bloom]

Hopefully

I mean I got killed right after that but it still is epic

[low timber]

What if the lights in the shield would work

[still vault]

January as far as I recall

next year ofc

https://tenor.com/view/scroll-up-gif-25604260

Saying "I've tried it all" is rarely true.

You replaced every single hardware component individually?

[copper fulcrum]

So that means you have not tried everything.

[still vault]

then your above statement was false

I don't know. I have not seen the thread I asked about above.

Dunno. How it's a forum, you login, clicking to create a thread, write your post and click post. How you manage to get that I don't know.

[arctic grove]

Seems your issue has been posted about before presumably

Maybe if you search for the error code on there you’ll find a solution from someone else having the problem

[spare quest]

reddit always helped me more with battlefield related problems than this ea answer forum

[zealous needle]

does it seem like they toned dow the visual recoil on the guns since the beta

[arctic grove]

They could have

If anyone has beta gameplay footage where they used a high FOV that would really help to tell

Since a lot of beta gameplay I went back and saw on YouTube they were at the standard fov

[timid inlet]

You know what? I am digging the M16A3.

[arctic grove]

I just wish the vault weapons didn’t have that horrendous v and hrec

Like I’d actually use them more

[solid crag]

does it still take about 5 AP PKP magazines to destroy a tank?

[spare quest]

i think so

AP ammo is useless

[arctic grove]

As I said before I’d run AP ammo but in an extremely dedicated anti tank/armor loadout

Almost everything in it should be anti armor oriented

[spare quest]

liz + rorsch

[arctic grove]

Ap ammo is very clutch

I personally don’t think AP ammo should do even decent damage with how much concealment and angles you can get on vehicles

[naive magnet]

Is there anyway to not have to equip attachments on your loadouts?

Have them default equipped basically

[arctic grove]

Do you mean clear the plus menu slots?

[naive magnet]

No; moreso hopping into a game and not having to equip my sights and attachments

Maybe I’m an idiot; I honestly don’t know haha

Just seems like I should be able to equip attachments before the game and just hop in with my attachments already equipped

[arctic grove]

I think I know what you mean

Try placing the attachments you want to spawn in with on the first plus menu slot, which is the active attachments slot

[naive magnet]

Oh; “edit position” and place my attachments close?

Wow I feel dumb

Thanks

[swift gust]

hey, i sniped someone from far away, couldnt see anything but after they died more kills came up, then a bunch more and in the kill feed it said "scatter" . how'd that happen??

[spare quest]

its so much fun to edit your attachments everytime a match starts

[naive magnet]

Hacks

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one

[arctic grove]

Nah you’re good man, no problem

[swift gust]

that's a thing? ty lol

[naive magnet]

Are all specialists the same speed by default (not factoring in the weapon in hand)?

[spare quest]

just increase your fov to make you think ur moving faster

[arctic grove]

The only speed difference is mackay vs every other specialist when ads

[obsidian geyser]

i’ve seen some dudes with a red beret headgear for angel, how do you unlock that it looks sick

[lavish patrol]

Is it me or does the Exodus look more like an amalgamation of the Type 31 Frigate and the Freedom Class?

No way in hell does it look like a Burke

[arctic grove]

Yea it’s definitely not a Burke

[spare quest]

i think its from the battlepass

[arctic grove]

I love the Burke tho, beautiful ships

[lavish patrol]

Its hull and superstructure though does resemble the Type 31

Can even add in the German Baden Wurttemberg class

[arctic grove]

They definitely did some cool stuff with the near future theme

[chilly dove]

You could be taking out enemy jets with TOW missile rn

[arctic grove]

Although personally I think it’d be way cooler if the Russian carrier in the pre game screen was a Shtorm carrier instead of the Kuznetsov

Yeah... the Kuznetsov keeps catching fire

[arctic grove]

Isn’t it in dock rn for a crane falling on it?

[chilly dove]

well actually 2, an F-18 was trying to land on firestorm

[arctic grove]

They can’t keep shit together over there with their military

[lavish patrol]

And another fire

[arctic grove]

Ridiculous

[obsidian geyser]

it’s not in this one, was it a past season?

[spare quest]

not sure

[solid crag]

Is 50mm cannon any good?

[arctic grove]

For anti vehicle yes

[lavish patrol]

50mm is a good gun

Fantastic on the Wildcat

[chilly dove]

It's great on everything. provided you got aim

[lavish patrol]

If you really wanna bring down aircraft, TOR with the Maul

[chilly dove]

too easy. LCAA Hovercraft TOW missile for style points

[spare quest]

tow missle

[chilly dove]

Become the targeting computer

[lavish patrol]

I'm just glad that the littlebird in 2042 isn't OP like in previous titles

[chilly dove]

You must be on console or play with controller lol

[lavish patrol]

I play on PC

[chilly dove]

bro I will teach you how OP that shi is rn if u want

infinite ammo, flies like a dream. long flares

can hide behind everything cuz tiny

[lavish patrol]

Yes but there is now an abundance of vehicles and weaponry that can take it down easily. That wasn't the case in BF3 and 4.

There were no 30mm cannons, no 50mm and whatnot.

[chilly dove]

good AA in BF3 shreded little birds, I don't know what you're talking about

[lavish patrol]

Good AA in BF3 is hard to come by.

[solid crag]

How do I find players when rushing spawn with jet ram?

[chilly dove]

hard to come by? lol

[lavish patrol]

And when I wanna get on AA, some idiot is in it.

And then they die

[chilly dove]

AA was a single seat vehicle in BF3

[lavish patrol]

And now we got the Wildcat which has all the pew pew you could dream of, and seats.

It better have cup holders too.

[solid crag]

how good is mortar pod?

[lavish patrol]

Mortar pod is fun

[chilly dove]

Maybe little bird was a bit of an annoyance in BF4, but i didn't play that one much. pretty sure AA kicked ass in that game too

[lavish patrol]

AA in BF4 got nerfed a lot

I was there

[chilly dove]

ah the crybabies had their way I guess

[crimson spade]

is cirrus a good skin in your opinion guys

[lavish patrol]

BF4 was littlebird heaven

[solid crag]

I was hoping it wouldn't be underpowered without the aim guide in previous titles

[lavish patrol]

Mortar pod's damage plus splash just wrecks everything

Granted you have a good driver

[solid crag]

amazing

[chilly dove]

it was possible to carry soflam and RPG as like... russian engineer in BF4 right? I think I remember doing that

i ran 4x scope on like SVD DMR

[solid crag]

Pretty sure laser painters were exclusive to recon and gunner soflam on vehicles

[arctic grove]

Yea soflam was recon

[solid crag]

Also I don't think dumbfired rockets (including RPG) could lock onto laser-painted targets in bf4

[lavish patrol]

I remember the littlebird crybabies back in BF4 causing the nerf to the stinger

[chilly dove]

ugh

[lavish patrol]

Even nerfed the ammo replenishment rate for them

[solid crag]

I think stinger still works pretty well on Hainan Resort

[lavish patrol]

And then the Fliegerfaust in BFV... oh man... so many flyers were crying

[solid crag]

basically a handheld burst cannon... Also what was stopping them from staying away from the ground?

[chilly dove]

their dreams of glory

[solid crag]

Also the 4000lb bombs on that game...

[chilly dove]

Now about Anti-Radiation missiles

[solid crag]

wat

[chilly dove]

fire and forget missiles that don't care if you've popped chaff and flares

sorry got the name wrong... this: AA-12 Radar Missile

[solid crag]

the only AA-12 I can find is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atchisson_AA-12

[chilly dove]

that's great. I don't really care about the real world counterpart to it... hmm probably some sort of russian long range AA missile

point is, why don't chaff and flares work on it?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-77 here this ...maybe

[solid crag]

yea im looking at that now

[chilly dove]

i understand how it would be hard to evade IRL but... come on DICE lol

[solid crag]

I wonder why you cant just shoot these massive missiles...

[chilly dove]

what do you mean?

[solid crag]

you just take a machinegun on the back and shoot at it

irl of course

[chilly jacinth]

it flies at mach 4/5

[chilly dove]

interestingly enough the Su-57 does have a laser turret designed to do that for some air to air missiles

[arctic grove]

There’s this thing called a notch maneuver to gank AAMs

Radar notching I think

[chilly dove]

that manoeuvre is just not a guranteed way of defeating missiles. it definitely increases survivability though

[naive magnet]

starts taking notes

[chilly dove]

any good missile tracking with a proper lock is designed to kill any flying aircraft at typical flight speeds

[arctic grove]

Ye it’s not guaranteed

[chilly dove]

but basically the idea of notch comes from some radar terminology I don't really remember. it's like how the seeker and guidance systems of some missiles get information on where the target is going as opposed to what's in the background. I don't think this game has anything remotely like that. I doubt even DCS has that properly coded for

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah nah it doesn’t

I’m just talking generally after all

Apparently DCS world has it though since I see tutorials for it

[kindred flint]

lmao you know a team is bad on this chaos mode when the enemy is on your side of the caps...

[arctic grove]

I hate when that happens

[chilly dove]

I suppose it adds an element to the dodge-ability (let this be a word) of anti air missiles.

[ancient peak]

Notching essentially spoofs the radar by making it look like your aircraft is stationary in relation to the missile

[kindred flint]

we capped a1 then lost it... i just left the match

[chilly dove]

yeah I think there's something called z-spoofing

[errant scarab]

hi

[arctic grove]

Oh yeah that’s a good way to put it

[chilly dove]

the aircraft would have to be heading towards the ground and turning towards the incoming missile

[arctic grove]

HypOps and Grim Reapers have some really nice YouTube simulations of modern air to air combat

[chilly dove]

And then hope that with lift and high G you can defeat the incoming with a turn rate advantage away from the ground and spoof the computer's prediction of where the target will be.

[errant scarab]

does Beacon deactivate the c5?

[arctic grove]

#streams-and-videos 🙂

[lavish patrol]

HARMs?

[chilly dove]

lol no, wrong nomenclature. I meant the BF2042 version of this as stated above https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-77

counter measures don't seem to work on them

in game they're called AA-12

US team version : AIM-260R Radar Missiles

[lavish patrol]

Yeah because the flares used in the game are only meant to work against IR.

[chilly dove]

RU team version : AA-12 Radar Missile

"Missile Countermeasures" "Deploys a combination of thermal and radar countermeasure stores to disrupt missile tracking"

U THOUGHT lol

[dark stirrup]

when is 3.2 coming?
