The game specifically added cool-down timers on vehicle spawns to counter this shit and they still do it.

Not only are they a pain in the ass to fight, their own teams can’t be appreciative of them hogging the spawns.

there's an offset of about 5 seconds ish between the vehicle spawning and the player being able to select it if that player just used that vehicle, so someone else who us spamming left click will get it before that person
at least that's how it's worked at launch, might have been stealth changed

shy latch
best spawns ever were in BF4, I have no idea what they did but if I remember correctly there was a "logic" to spawn (as example of enemy capturing an objective but not neutralized yet) at the opposite side of the enemy/enemies so to don't encounter any spawn kill
it would be nice if they could copy that and implement in 2042 and future BFs
next onyx
You knew where they were coming from but you couldn't exactly watch over them.
It was a good system.
shy latch
exactly, for me isn't a good system but actually the best
next onyx
Back in bf5 we had a pretty similar system too.
You couldn't go out of your way to watch their spawns.
And they were often hidden out of sight.

Question; what is everyone's opinion on a airburst grenade?

Wouldn’t really be a point for that. Since the concussion grenade already goes off almost instantly. Having a delayed one would be pointless.

Yeah, scatter grenade is pretty annoying but I think that fills a different niche. Scatter is more for clearing out an entire room, while an airburst grenade (e.g. Shgr 07) is more to jump over obstacles and cover to affect people behind it.

I mean if you wanna kill infantry with your main gun use the anti infantry shell lol
Otherwise, you have a machine gun

Do not care, makes it stupid hard to deal with tanks with HE if you have 8 people with RPGs trying to kill you

there's a high explosive option so that makes sense

beside you've got the secondary gun too

Use your gun or hit your shots lol

MPAT yeah because there was zero reason to take the other shells otherwise
pine roost
and the turret turn rate increases will make it even easier to land shots
ancient peak
Hell the STAFF shell is still useless

Of course! Because i can also curve my rockets like Lizz!
Mpat is best because I'm there to kill armor
I'm in a tank, the tanks back in beta were perfect

anyone have any idea when the update season 3.2 will release?

Ok great, so focus on armor and use your coax MG for infantry. Job done!
You’ve chosen to go the AT route, are you really surprised that there’s trade offs

I could put 5/5 obrez shots on a fighter
Sometime took 3 tankgewehr shots to down one

one thing I liked about planes in bf1 is that they were strong, but to counter that they could be shot at by infantry
two mgs could potentially take one down by themselves

i reckon they'll shift the playspace along and make it more urban. Lower the sand levels and reveal more of the actual map

Ye, There's a difference between a mindless push and a genuine push.
spiral folio
The game also tends to heavily reward the spearholder frontline type cause theyre a necessary kind of thing
How do you convince somebody to just keeep rushing over and over and over. Tell em theyre doing a good job
pine roost
you have to clear angles if you want to push, create space then push into that space. those people need to realise that you can't just run out and expect to live
you are right though, it's funni

Some people legit do good close combat but theres probably 10 to 1
And the 10 provide cover for the 1

that's a fair point

Dont think so

I want 2042 attachments on vault weapons
Feels so jarring switching between both
They couldn’t even bring over the same kind of camo progression

some guy previewed a camo and it appeared on the M16 or 416 iirc

so maybe they're planning it IDK or it's just a bug
At the minimum that should be what dice does
Would be cool if one season the bring all the vault weapons up to 2042 standards
Maybe not adding new attachment slots but at least adding attachments to the already available slots

This wouldn't be a problem if DICE didn't take so long on them. These guys take their time to effectively just port over a gun and then add mastery badges to it

The portal featured modes are always rotating between different ones. I would imagine there is some amount of thought that goes into making sure whatever is featured doesn't directly conflict with whatever is in AOW but any peculiarities beyond that probably just come down to being however that portal mode was designed.

I can find a tank with a lis rocket without knowing theres a tank on the map. They're pretty obvious

Tanks firing is fairly obvious

You might be one of the people I'm talking about

no joke I wish it had one, for the gunner at least

again, are you invoking reality to justify something in a battlefield game?

But yea firing. Everyone knows where that comes from
Youre tryint to justify a tank being stealthy in any way shape or form
The fact a tank shows up on the map when firing is cause you hear it
Same reason suppressed subsonic rifles don't

except that's true of all non-suppressed weapons

There's a billion shooters out there better than battlefield, but without the ve...
Go play war thunder or something then idk
hybrid totem
for the vehicles
arctic grove
ok you do you
hybrid totem
I always do
magic bloom
One of my favorite tactics is to jump out of my tank as rao and hack the enemy tank
They get flabbergasted
hybrid totem
the infantry game is fascinating when it's combined with the vehicle game. By itself though?
magic bloom
The infantry are practically useless for the most part
Even though I put myself through extreme amount of pain to save them they still don’t help me
hybrid totem
I really enjoy helping an infantry line push forward, or clearing the way
They save me from incoming rockets too, that way
spiral folio
Because armors primary role is eliminating armor
Like use the MG coax as needed but the main role is power delivery to enemy armor
hybrid totem
you keep invoking reality, it's weird
spiral folio
What do you think a tanks job is... capture?
spiral folio
You do dont you
The kinda guy that rushes a flag and eats 19 rockets and goes "i only died cause nobody puuuushed"
hybrid totem
I do capture objectives with tanks, yes, but usually only after helping an infantry line push to it
magic bloom
Znath they should add the 105 Stryker just for you
magic bloom
Poor Stryker
hybrid totem
It's fine with infantry support
magic bloom
The wildcat yes
arctic grove
Moves in and out quicker
magic bloom
Cause it’s pretty much a IFV with an anti air missile
spiral folio
Yea only morons capture with a tank because a deaf dum and blind kid could find a tank at 10m
tacit sorrel
Tanks are hell in general vs good players

Next season ima get the legendary skin for my wildcat
spiral folio
Tanks other main role is to draw fire really
arctic grove
It’s very sleek looking
magic bloom
I Just sit outside the obj waiting to give that Russian T28 120 millimeters of freedom
spiral folio
Act as that big mcguffin for the enemy to focus
The two worst tankers are the ones that cap or the ones so far back they have to count the mils to snipe
arctic grove
Unless they add a light tank like bf5
spiral folio
The ram
arctic grove
Eh true

You might be one of those players who only sees the one way to play
magic bloom
Wildcat with 57mm
spiral folio
Thst things pretty much a tank. The ram can 360 turn in place
arctic grove
Wildcat with 57mm
Is 40mm better against infantry
tacit sorrel
Bfv tanks>bf2042 tanks
magic bloom
Is 40mm better against infantry
Yeah but I can kill tanks quicker then they can kill me with the 57 most times
spiral folio
Yea the medium gun is the best compromise. The 57 is purely anti armor
You "can" hit air
But anything can
magic bloom
Most of the time I just use the duel cannon
arctic grove
I’ll prob have a tow missle for anti vehicle s
spiral folio
Yea the spamcannon is still best for AA
arctic grove
If I’m using 40mm
magic bloom
The mini brrrrrt
arctic grove
it overheats so fast
Tf no It don’t
spiral folio
Dakakakakakakakakakak
Vs
Boom .. boom
magic bloom
If you can’t kill a air vehicle before it overheats that’s just a skill issue
hybrid totem
I can, but it still overheats really fast
spiral folio
Yea you'll see the hp drop fast
While it cools fire AA missile
Switch back
Fire
Switch again fire missile
hybrid totem
you use aa missiles and not agms? Weird
spiral folio
Because agms dont work on things in the air
hybrid totem
no I think that's in the name actually
spiral folio
The transport helo is more game impacting than a tank
magic bloom
no I think that's in the name actually
Atgm is air to ground I believe
spiral folio
Helo can loop around the map dropping eneny tropps all the frick over the place while spamming guns.
Tank is purely a localized threat
hybrid totem
GGM then
magic bloom
I agree with znath unless your absolutely cracked out with your tank shots on air vehicles
spiral folio
So its more tactically advantageous to eliminate the air unit and let allies deal with the tank.
hybrid totem
you agree that tanks have no place other than to kill other tanks?
magic bloom
To kill vehicles yes
arctic grove
Tanks are still good at covering fire
hybrid totem
What are HE shells for?
arctic grove
Just not as good as wildcat
spiral folio
Like allies have all kinds of AT shit. But AA is harder
magic bloom
What are HE shells for?
People who can’t aim.
hybrid totem
at...
magic bloom
It’s not hard to land shots with an MPAT
spiral folio
Yea HE is infantry or light vehicles
arctic grove
People who can’t aim.
Or just want them infantry kills
magic bloom
Then at that point use a ram it’s much better
spiral folio
There's that one tank shell thst seeks too
magic bloom
The staff shell?
hybrid totem
Rather use the wildcat than the RAM. For the AA.
