in 2016 an entire guild got permabanned because they held a KKK rally in one of the major towns lmfao
Oops?
literally dressed up like them
Oooopsie, must'a been a big mistake
the funny thing is its apparently to celebrate getting a world record score or something
I've had a guy threaten to fly a plane into my house.
As much as i am for free speech and all.... yeea probably a bad idea?
Someone said derail a train into my mother's house
on the playstation server there were at least 2 people who got locked up irl for child related offences
The funniest threat I got was sending an exorcist to my house
I think mr "i got your credit card" threat was my favorite threat cause i stomped him out so fast.
2nd favorite threat i had a teenager give me his real address and challenge me to a fight
this is why i want all chat in bf2042 lol
missing out on so much potentially good salt
people can get creative
Is it double exp weekend or something
Yeah
Cause everyone online is a teenager
Is this a weekly thing
It's occasional.
Maybe I'll actually unlock the cool recon now
She's unlocked at level 4 which is like a match
The kids like "fight me at my place. No weapons"
Im like "you think you can trust me?... an online stranger?"
The level 25 one
i've had some guy send me salt non stop for 30 minutes before in elder scrolls online
Ohhh.
Paik?
I think all the double XP made all the tryhards come out to play today. Was a little easier before today.
like he literally typed and typed and typed
my entire chat took like half a min to scroll through lmfao
Kinda glad fo76 doesnt have a text chat for that reason sometime
People get SO pissed in that game. I remember killing a guy in cyrodiil and he messaged me for 10 days straight
lmfaoo
yeah i stopped playing half a year ago
most pvp content creators quit already as well
just not worth it anymore
I miss moontan
I kinda wonder if 76 isnt peaceful because nobody talks most of the time
I feel like this BF has more campers then CoD even in TDM.
what was your @name
People still play tdm? What year is it
I played on console at that time
camping works very nicely when Irish exists
@735945951369363578 alright we playing this weekend
guh discord
buh
Eh I don’t need to camp to be good. If I had to I think I’d probably stick to solo games.
I'll camp a point because idk where to go and don't wanna be shot in the back
I won't sit in the same spot for 20 minutes though
that's why conquest sucks
you wouldn't sit in an objective spot for more than 10 minutes anyway
if you're worried about dying you can spam recon spawn beacons
there are lots of squirrels and monkeys around
Some people camp in the same spot the entire game in any mode I’ve played.
You'll respawn right back at it
Are you talking about the sand hills in that desert map?
ah yes flash point hills
Yeah I've seen tanks chilling on it
screw them hill campers
hello
throw an explosive bolt at them
the only time i camp in the same spot is in places like breakthrough exposure defense
i just spawn the tank indoors and camp there ez 70 kills 0 death
Only thing I dislike is how weak snipers are compared to CoD and how knives take two hits instead of one.
flooring and reversing while fending off us attackers
i had to sacrifice myself with anti tank mines
just to clear the douchebag out
and let my team in
spearhead is one of the harder maps for attackers

but i always get 100+ kills if i can secure tank
i understand why, and i don't blame you because it's dice fault for shit balance, but i kind of wish your computer explode
Is lis good cause you can have a rpg and anti tank mines
it's not, until someone drives an APC inside the building

like you can't be serious man that shit is so big
Yes, and because her rocket has recharging ammo and can hit both air and ground vehicles
Im disappointed you can't choose your first and second gadget based on the class archetype
but lis is mainly good because the other two engineers are shit
The turret guy seems useless
there was a match on spearhead where i got 110 kills and my mortar gunner got 140 and we lost on E cuz we ate all our tickets on C lmfao
Crawfords good if your a vehicle player
You can use his turret to camp O guess, says spotted when it sees someone and you can turn around and laser them
Boris is literally the worst specialist in the entire game right now
The only thing his turret is good for is occasionally spotting someone, and his passive only effects his turret so he's essentially entirely wasted space
There is no situation where you will ever benefit from picking boris
there is
Which leaves Crawford vs Lis
crawford is useless if ur not playing vehicle
only NPCs actually use the vulcan lol
I unlocked crawford by sitting in a heli and repairing it the whole match
So funny and goofy when 7 people are in a small box square room like bruh you don’t see that in CoD lol that’s next level camping.
Crawford is still shit even if you're playing vehicle, Irish is better at defending it and lis has better utility
Based on the recent podcast I don’t think boris is getting any changes
Are you fucking kidding me
Theres a fourth mechanic?
An auto aiming turret simply cannot be balanced properly, I’d rather it remain as is than get buffed
Thought there was only 3
Fr
No only 3, Irish is support
Zains good for lots of player
also do people even look at up at the skies?
Places*
He is just ludicrously poorly balanced
If you could toggle his thermal it would be better
the xm needs a nerf its ridiculous
Some people only look at the skys
either reduced radius or 4 shot kill
Fallout did it fine.
haha casper's drone go vroom
I've killed like 10 people since the 8th who just stared in the sky
Correct
Fo4/76 has had turrets for years.
Can you kill people with caspers drone
no
I remember in bf3 if you got momentum you could damage people
Big turrets, ceiling turrets, turrets set on rocks
pre nerfed drone with C5s tho
Irish is support but his gadget is getting to place 2 structures; one is a bullet proof chest high glass wall and the other is a trophy system
missed the shit
i hate it when i get like 100+ kills and some casper with 300 assists gets the mvp

The issue is that the trophy system destroys ALL infantry explosives
This includes rockets
I like trophies
If there’s one Casper on your team who dedicated to the drone it’s pretty cool
Yea the aps is too powerful
It isn’t worth trying to go for mvp given how strange the accolade system works
it is def very helpful
So if you slap two trophy systems down next to your tank it becomes immortal
Casper sucks because his drone is insanely powerful but it requires not actually playing the game to use it
90% of the time i don't get mvp its because of a casper spotter or falck reviver
Its like commander mode
Imo aps should have a delay based on the presence of walls and add a projectile from the aps to the target so it has a chance to miss
I’ve said this so much finally someone else says it
Is the ranger ai or player controlled
AI
ai
i dont think getting mvp gives you anything anyway
i just find it weird the game recognises assist more than kills
Then even if the missile is destroyed. Physifs takes over and replaces the missile with debris thst can damage the aps or players around it
Rangers are underrated
Anyone notice how double xp tokens give you less xp than double xp weekend
Doesn’t even give you any satisfaction
If you have someone willing to prone in a bush and drone the whole match then you get permanent spots on the enemy team
^
I've killed a lot of rangers by circling around them hipfiring
it helps me a lot
Just like me fr

rangers are S tier
If I capture a flag with a token it's 400 xp with double xp weekend it 600xp
But it's so stupid
they are such a good distraction
It’s one player out of 64 per team it’s fine
What mode has the least campers?
casper drone is hard as fuck to kill because of desync as well
i just hide then someone shoots at them i pop out and kill them
Aps highlights the problem with future/near future modern games.
They dont balance based on reality so it makes a lotta bs happen
If frontline existed it would be that but it doesn't
No it’s just not balanced
I accidentally killed myself with the grapplehook guy
I was parachuting and thought it was a good idea to use it
It could be balanced and still be future, but it’s just not
It’s hard to implement having an APS shoot down a missile that ends up having frag go everywhere
Is it easy to shoot lis missilies
i mean this is the same game where you can block a direct hit from a tank shell using a shield like you're iron man
Missiles
@agile pelican yes
if they fire it straight at you its braindead easy to shoot it
better lis players will shoot up and hit u from above
Now that’s balanced I don’t care what anyone says dozer needs it
until they decide to run over you

Pretty easy yeah
its bright af too so its easy to see coming form afar
but if they shoot above u theres nothing u can do
A real aps does exist and it basically launches a shotgun type blast at a missile AFTER radar detects it.
So its not a forcefield. It has to have direct LOS to track the target and then fire to intercept.
So if you put a aps in a side tunnel and a missle goes down the main tunnel. It doesnt have enough time to see and predict the missile.
In BF though its just an instant delete force field
Is there a sniper that can penetrate tanks?
If you're infantry you can dink them to help your fellow vehicles
I remember a few battlefields having one
New ar is pretty busted. Now that everyone has it I literally can't beat it
The railgun and NTW 50 can damage tanks but I don’t think they can kill the driver
The NTW does damage to vehicles but it's fucking shit for actual anti tank purposes
im staying with lcmg
BFa is purely "if within radius, remove missile"
Easy coding
Bad balance
Same with railgun
The NTW used to be really good
im a loyal lcmg enjoyer
It’s the easiest way to design it. If there was a projectile that physically moved to and destroyed the rocket that would be absolute hell for desync
They removed the rails ability to damage tanks
I couldnt tell man
Not sure about ntw. I dont use it anymore cause its worthless
Ntw is just body shot machine now
ntw with 1.25x scope is still fun to use time to time
It’s so useless your better off putting AP rounds on a SWS or DXR
It's pointless for vehicles, fun for infantry
AP rounds are useless on everything
Absolutely minimal damage
The NTW is fun though just putting a hole the size of a football through some guys chest body armor or not
Youre better off with a lever action, crossbow, Shotguns with slugs
Any decent one will have a repairbot either way
I only see them in transport helos
but me most of the time
I see them painfully often
maybe in conquest but idk in breakthrough i rarely see dedicated repairs
i always see the transport pilots yelling at the 2 passengers to gtfo
That’s where I came into play when I was a tanker
transport heli with only 2 slots for actual passengers and they get taken up by bots
Hit them with the MPAT switch to the Tow and repeat the process til they die
just shoot the APS
incredible game design
very simple
JUST
i only ever use HE shells
It takes one to two bullets to destroy them
It’s always been that way tho transport helis have always had at least one repair bot then again they were also able to be destroyed then
i never try to fight other tanks lol
Shoot the APS EMP it or use a 30 or 50mm Cannon to kill it
i just focus on farming infantry
i shoot tanks only when its convenient like they come right in front of me or something i dont chase em
I'll say it again, They need to reduce the draw time on the shorty. It's too easy to use kek.
draw as in, swap to fire?
No let me have fun for once
does it have the fastest
Swapping to it yeah.
ah nice
i was wondering where i can find updated info on pistol swap to fire time
Which is shouldn't be for an ease of use gun.
You have to be right in the dudes face anyway
im looking for a pistol thats the fastest
let me swap to my 3x scope and do single fire spam at the APS 150m away while hoping the tank doesn't kill me before i bust the aps (which has a frankly unreasonably large amount of health), then i have to do it to the other aps, then i swap and hit the tank with a single rocket, reload for SEVEN SECONDS, fire again and it gets cancelled by the 2 APS he replanted while i was reloading
They all have equal draw times but you may as well use the shorty because it's the easiest.

does the mag type affect the draw time
I do go out pretty often lol.
like normal mag vs drum mag on glock
No.
Only good sidearms are the Glock the MP28 and the shorty
ah ok
M1911 would be good if the sights weren't so shit.
isn't the NVK better than the mp28
I don’t think so
thought it hit harder
he complimented my profile pic so he is a god bf gamer now 👌
The p125 hits the same, The mp28 has better hipfire.
The MP28 Is Just a mini VCAR
issue of skill
SKILL
YES
what about rof

mp28 is 450 RPM while the p125 has 500.
You need better tankers on your team
Mp28 has better hipfire to boot though so.
besides a tank camping X away with 2 APS ain't gonna do much
tanks get more done being mobile then camping
But no I get spammed by fucking 8 lis players whenever I play tank but when my teammates do it they don’t even get a side eye
Just find a spot at the side with the APS and the tank is essentially invulenerable.
lol
every time i play tank after 5 mins the enemy team spawns a EMKV TOR
cuz they sick of my shit
God I hate this game but I can’t stop playing it
super 500 is nasty but inconsistent and slow rate of fire... G57 is still the king of secondary weapons.
Yeah let me just swap to recon so i can bust the APS so i can swap to the rocket launcher recon Doesn't Have to destroy it
Real

C5
so silly
You have to shove the shorty up a dudes nostril to get a one shot most of the time
if you're using c5 you don't need to worry about the aps in the first place
true
Irish APS blocks C4.
Only at far distance
the issue is always having to rely on c5 because the launchers are weak and the anti launcher tools are so strong
i hate that the aps blocks smoke
Yeah now everyone has become a camping god with the new ar
It really shouldn't block it at all.
If it’s short enough APS systems don’t block projectiles
Literally get a friend to put up the APS and throw it in front of it.
So become short
idk i dont think irish aps blocks c5
What kinda shit I shot a recoilless infront of an enemy APS and it went right through
Which is how it should be
tbh trying to Balance Irish APS is hard cause you also gotta remember the Frag spam
just today i was defending spearhead C2 and i was tossing C5 over a box and blowing people up then rushing and i still see intact APS there
you wanna ruin infantry gameplay just make Irish APS useless
it does at a reasonable distance, you can see this with c5ing chokepoints when there's APS behind them
They just need less incentives to throw frags.
maybe i was detonating it fast enough idk
to not throw frags as infantry
i was doing exactly that
Make it so that grenades are on a universal timer, Reduce the resupply time of the XM launcher, etc.
Do the frags even have timers before they hit something cause I’ve thrown one straight up in the air and it didn’t go off til it hit the dirt
tossing c5 over a crate at a chokepoint and nuking everyone behind it then after i grapple over i still see APS there
It's super inconsistent.
idk why they made frags so strong in this game lol
I see the explosion and then it cancels halfway through because the APS destroyed it and it desynced
you literally throw a nuke
I use throwing knives we are not the same
It's wonky
now you gotta find a way to buff Blasco Gadget if someone decideds to place it next to a tank
can't lock onto it
and if they know they can be far out of range from Lis
i do agree APS is necessary for the sheer amount of explosives everyone has but goddamn they shouldnt be stopping rockets
then what
I like blasco

you gotta find a way to Balance it for Infantry cause they know frags are a Problem
Is there a cap on how much xp you can earn per day??
god forbid you wanted to actually hurt that tank
not just OH HE CAMPY
the 60mm mortar is kinda funny too. it feels more like a 600mm mortar
if a tank is camping then he is fucking useless
he 1. ain't doing shit and 2. ain't being helpful
The 60mm mortar has 900x more aoe than anything else in the game
an aggressive tank dies to c5
compare the 60mm mortar in this game to the 60mm mortar in bf4
false
its kind of funny
Tanks are already good as it is stop being a bitch and go and actually fight don’t be a glorified sniper with a high explosive gun
consistently killing people with HE shells from cover is useful
was a defender and went up againts 2 aggresive tanks
idk i camp all the time with tank and get like 80-100 kills
we got steamrolled
it's also dogshit to play against
As you can see I hate tankers who snipe
aggressive tank only works if your team is good
skill issue
and focuses on supporting u

not skill issue
just c5 the tank
I’ve done it with almost no infantry support it’s possible but it’s hard
literally some mines or a C5 rush will destroy you if you don't have 24/7 bodyguards
tanks where playing smart and aggresive
they where close for CQ but not so close we can throw C5 and they always knew when to fall back
a smart player guh
you need a very good mortar gunner that pays attention to surroundings
and doesnt tunnel vision kills
simply smoke the tanks and c5 them
smoke or emp lol
Honestly renewal is a good map for tanks cause of all the cover and wide open areas
emp
smoke ubgl, emp nade, c5 boom
emp annoys the shit outta tanks
exposure is the best map for tank camping
You can’t C5 me if I’m going full speed at all times 
or you go as little as 20m away with a tank and still be immortal because irish aps
but yeah APS camping for tanks don't work
cause APS needs line of sight and when it does it usally gets destroyed by another tank shell(splash dmg)
or shot
how does one get wingman ribbons?
Assists and revives
one of my fav tank spots is exposure on offense. when you're attacking C i just spawn a tank at the outdoor B area
aps only needs los for a heartbeat
and i just shell C non sotp
ty
you can put it in a hole in the ground
chunky i tested it
Splash dmg will kill it
a Player with a fucking BRAIN
will kill it
and now Casper drones so no idea why people are still bitching when they have X amount of Options
not if you're camping like 150m away and the aps is behind a concrete barrier
Simply cross map throwing knife it
simply swap to casper to deal with tank camping
Do the geometry mid match and calculate the trajectory
I've been running c4 a lot recently.
a well balanced game
Ew, Armour.
I find the SPH Is good for demolitions
then redeploy as lis in the downtime of the APS, then back to casper to destroy it again, then lis,
Way I use armor on dozer lol
Than again in your region I can't say I blame you for running it because every other cunt would be running it.
but in some places c5 is so good like in spearhead c2
The kick for the starter weapon is awful in 2x
idk not that many people run armor here
I don't mind armour if it doesn't interfere in gunfights.
Weird.
Thinking since you're in Asia everyone would be.
maybe they do but i just dont notice it
seems like you have trouble killing tanks
my main issue isnt gunfights anyway its explosives
while whole community does not
Do you think running armor will get me more kills for this dumb ar attachmentsl
75% of my deaths aren't to bullets

the reason i like armor is because it makes me so survivable
Use riot shield guy
going over ammo box restores med pen + armor its nice
He has an innate resistance to explosives no?
Fun fact if your a tank player you can hit a tank twice with one shell if you hit the right spot
not worth giving up mackay
reduce Explosive dmg
- This is patently untrue if you spend 5 minutes in this server
- You literally just complained about not being able to c5 aggressive tanks
i ain't?
i use grapple for big brain plays all the time and the ads speed is too good
first person I've ever met who says camping tanks with aps is fine but they can't c5 tanks up close
mackay is def cheesy
I yell more about the helicopters tbh but the tanks get a decent part of it too
I have 300 hours into Mackay and only 100 into Zain.
Cause he’s not op during a gunfight
but zain is way more cancerous used by the average player cuz they just use the xm
Yet the funny part is that resorting health in the middle of the gunfight gives you that push but it's not crazy.
Yeah.
you can get some pretty ridiculous plays with the grapple
zain with armour and regen on kill is pretty horrendous
esp flanks
I just use his XM for taking people out of cranes and or finishing players off who take cover and are heavily injured.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/174646583021928460/1083613352720343080/yikes.mp4 check this mackay clip
I Just Rush them with dozer and a 12m you’ve never seen a guy panic so much before
thats my SPH strat lol
That's definitely close combat with short barrel.
the xm has insane radius
yeah for B on stranded i use close combat
it really shouldnt be so big
I like zains launcher the way it is
2 shot headshot too
I read way and I got really confused.
Way find a way to change your name
Reckon I should show off this then since you showed that!
I'll find a way to you in game.
I was sprinting earlier and someone shot the exact same place with xm 3 times and I was still in the radius despite travelling at full speed in a straight line
It's nothing too special but that tunnel is fun.
Huge radius with 3hk minimum damage is too much
Do it I’ll show you true love with my dozer, 12m and armor plates
dude when people clump up lol
i dont have the pass so i havent unlocked that gun
its so satisfying
but ill def give that gun a try
I like it cause it punishes people who group up to much
Maybe they should’ve just moved somewhere else
Dozer battle
But I'll have fun with it for as long as I can.
I agree to these terms 
Dozer has the best skins tbh
Zain's passive will always remain top for me.
Allows me to keep my med pens for a little while longer.
And stay healthier in gunfights.
Dozer and blasco are my favorite passives
Plus haha funny neuron activation.
usually when i corner jump like that i use traverse sprint. i feel like it increases my distance esp since i slide jump but im not 100% sure
I take it double exp doesn’t apply to portal servers
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/174646583021928460/1083799136480018544/stranded_spawnkilling.mp4 also have more clips of that stranded out of bounds farm
Mackay my fav op since i can just flank from above with grapple hook
its one of my favourite spots lol
Do people even play TDM?
or Irish so i can stop Frag spam and defend points
Dozer so I can tank the frag spam
It punishes everyone for existing within 100m currently
i still need to do T1 for Liz/Zain/Sundance and Dozer
I'd play Dozer or Sundance but I've played Zain for so long that it's not worth it.
Dozers is easy
Also the most fun
is that tunnel in the new map
XM-1 Chrysler coming to portal when?
Yeah.
It’s my favorite vehicle in WT
Leading into D.
never
looks like a fun spot lol. im guessing its not in BT?
CQ.
it was only a test tank for M1 Abrams
I love how they throw a fire bomb and then a smoke.
Thanks for putting the fire out.
I guess.
are pc servers down?
that gun looks super broken is it 30 round only
Yes but experimental Abrams
I Just want my gas turbine sound in battlefield
30 round kinda turns me off in this game
i know
30 round would be a godsend for a 4 shot kill gun on bf4
but for some reason on bf2042 it feels so insufficient lmfao
But you're not used to 30 rounds since you always use an MG.
Yeah because of the metagame.
Of extended mags and that.
I'll give the SCAR another look when they properly tune the RM68 cause at the moment the only reason to go for the SCAR is its capacity with high powered drums.
RM is more versatile.
hey, is the some sort of map roatation or am I just really unlucky and keep getting the same maps over and over again
even the scar capacity feels low to me
but the pbx doesnt feel low maybe cos it reloads so fast
even tho it shits out bullets
Uh flashpoint CQ is just flashpoint but normal conquest has all the maps.
I feel like I’m playing 24/7 stranded
The maps are random.
Yeah that's the usual match maker experience.
pbx doesn't reload that fast
With close combat is reloads pretty fast due to the multipliers.
2.33 tac reload vs scar 2.5 tac reload
ya i use cq rounds
Close combat good point
lowest ttk in the game
Alongside the Am40. Except that the Am40 is better in every single way.
it’s really not feeling jt
nah
I’m not getting any of the older maps
it’s only the newer ones
pbx sexier hipfire too
pbx better for overall, am40 has headshots going for it
but really 10m is super dogshit
I'd argue the range of the AM40 is far outweighed by its positives, Doubled velocity, 40 round drum that reloads fast as hell, headshot multiplier, etc.
its a lot shorter than it seems
headshots 
idk velocity doesnt matter at all cqb
Need a gunner for the attack helicopter
doesnt even feel like it matters at 100m lol
Yeah true but when extending the gun out that's when the Am40 shines.
the rm68 is so damn good that even with the default magazine with only 20 bullets i dropped a 75 kills game in my first time i played with it. 30 bullets is more than enough... if there was a mag with 40 bullets it would be the most broken weapon in the game since launch
idk why they have so many weapons with 10m drop in a game with maps this fucking large
but i think its just cos im used to low velocity
might be a while till i unlock the RM
640 MS for the Am40 with standard rounds is as fast as the SRR-61.
double xp this weekend?
Yes.
i cant be bothered doing the missions like revives lol
Just revive squadmates and do it over time really.
well, there goes my plans of playing RDR2 this weekend then
No time for revives, target rich environment
the only time i bother reviving is when
- there are no healers nearby and i'm low
- i don't have a med pen
- my squadmate dies beside me
- its relatively safe behind the cover
then i just wait in position for my hp to recover and i might as well revive my teammate then
otherwise i just dont even bother
so yeah p rare
You are overwhelmed. We must take our losses and retreat while we still can.
I usually try to be as much of a team player as I can.
I'll revive people but I won't go out of my way to do it.
or when like my squadmate and i are completely alone in an objective and he dies and it feels safe
I can understand support being overwhelming
Going to a flag for me just means more kills.
for me i only revive people when there is like absolutely no risk in doing so
But if you walk by a dead person thats a free revive wtf man
or when i have like literally nothing to do like if im pinned down low hp waiting for my hp to regen i might as well hold E and get a revive
Looking for some decent people for hazard, send dm
free revive is not as good as free 3-5 kills if i choose to rush instead
Won't go out of your WAY huh 

Stupid wiglet.
Out of context that looks very derogatory 
Unfortunate naming scheme
Exposed to reddit.
if you see my stats i have 25k+ kills but only 400+ revives
and 90% of those revives are when i played angel at launch
cos the revives are actually fast
even then i don't go out of my way to revive lol
I had an ally spawn on me
Get in front of me.
Start spraying a smg from the tower i was sniping from.
Get killed.
Ask for rev
Yyyyea just let meee... ah man forgot my revive pen one minute
Bye
sometimes i go. my heart is stronger than me
Oh so just your average player
even if i play falck i still wont go out of my way to revive but since its so fast ill def rev a lot more when its convenient
You know, you guys were right. The g57 is pretty nuts in burst
g57 is the best gun in the game if you're super accurate
sometimes as mackay or sundance i see my squadmate in the open and i pop 1 or 2 smokes around him and go revive his ass... i have a soft heart
one frame everyone
just dropped?
Yeah.
i guess heavy ammo is back in the menu boys
with heavy ammo?
im assuming this means only hi power gets the 4 shot kill and not its standard?
Id replace repair tool with about anything since i dont want to repair

Whats worse than some smg moron spawning on me and drawing fire?
A tank moving next to me drawing all the attention on the map cause he thinks I'll repair his dumb ass
svk back to dominating again
I mean it was clearly busted so it’s fair but still
Fixed an issue that caused Blasco to be hidden from the minimap when firing unsuppressed weapons. You’re stealthy, but not that stealthy! <- lol its almost impossible to be stealthy in this game. but its cool
It should now be possible to place the X6-Infiltration Device within Smoke. <- praise the lord
big W for solo players
I never really found it too slow but not even that fast either.
the hp regen buff
literally faster to put down beacon and then suicide
ever since they took my infinite med box on assault away i was broken
finally i get better hp regen to compensate
yay
more things to fuck vehicle players over
clearly the lis rockets and point blank c5/mines werent enough
You're joking...
15% is literally going to do nothing
if they wanted that to be meaningful it should have been 50%
Vehicle abusers have no speaking rights
It was one issue yes.
just left matchmaking 7 times to get the same map, 7 times
But now they can probably collect data and work off that.
wonder why they didnt nerf the 50mm shit a tron gun
15% is the "we are listening to feedback but we think you are wrong lol" level
Wtf is your luck aim.
that deletes tanks from above
Or nerf the hinds hp by 50%
only infantry
note the distinct lack of nerfs to APS in this update
the lack of nerfs to flares
https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-4-0-1
Yea vehicles are favored because if anything happens, the vehicle abusers whine the loudest
Intercept aps with aps?
irish on irish combat
idk why that will even help
So like..
Two irishes run into each other.
Go critical mass
unless the tank is camping
Every time I see two dozers fighting it out with shields I think of the battle of the chromosomes.
it not stopping c5 makes it worse in infantry combat, which was where it was actually needed
but most C5 kills are on rushing tanks
Inter-inception
now there's more reason to always run c5 on every class so you can c5 through the APS and smoke addled chokepoint
yeah im def gonna run more c5 now
no nerf for the rm68... aaayyoooooooo! 🤘
like it wasn't already the best choice 80% of the time
they gotta sell the battlepass first
New antitank weapon added. Metal glove with c5 knuckles.
once enough people buy the pass they will nerf it
Rest assured, we will be acting upon the APS Shootdown in the future. The team needs more time to work on that, and we'll share more when we can.
I would however point to the fact that we've just made it clear C5 will now bypass the Shootdown Sentinel, which is a correct step.
its called business
touché. (they nerfed the ac9 tho)
Is that our boy Kevin in the chat coming to talk to us?
This is a general hotfix anyways they're bound to miss things.
i mean shit it's nice to hear that, but not the correct time? what on earth does that mean?
In the meantime we riot :v
you gonna wait until 2 years after release?
it means “go abuse your transport helis more first hehehe”
If I had to guess.
i literally do not understand how that's supposed to parse
Repair tool nerf 
This minor change is to collect data.
reeee
Armor is the weakest it's ever been in a Battlefield in 2042
All that'll happen now is more people hanging back role-playing as artillery
Cope?
ppl who think tanks in bf2042 are hard to deal with havent played bf4
Every class had at least 1 if not more methods to damage armor in bf1
I just spawned, turned around and saw a tank 10 meters away with 3 enemies beside it
Ehh not much will change.
armour is weak up close because c5 and strong at range because launchers reload painfully slowly and APS exists

nerfing APS to *not stop c5 changes literally nothing
tanks are primarily artillery, not swords
this is a meaningless change
That’s not true
the same fundamentally issues remain
2042 has so many different ways to attack tanks, from flying squirrel or Spiderman C5, to AT mines, to AP ammo, to grenades, to UGLs, to rockets, to TV missiles, to hacking, to EMPs, to AGM missiles, to helo rockets, to main transport cannons, to 30mm cannons on transports, to railguns and more. Is it any wonder that tankers prefer to hang back and role-play as artillery in 2042?
If you capture with a tank youre gonna get ate
i would swear that used to work that way a few months ago?
i literally role play as artillery everytime i play tank
in breakthrough
i still get like 80-120 kills a round lmfao
it makes it worse against infantry, which is where it is actually needed because aoe spam
Same
It should take 4 C5 to kill a MBT.
Vehicle balance was much better in BFV because you couldn't solo a medium or heavy tank unless you picked up extra dynamite and were lined up to hit the vulnerable part of the tank with your AT rockets and the driver was dumb. On the flip side tanks had limited ammo and self-repair so they inevitably had to retreat to resupply or expose themselves going to a resupply station outside of their home base.
I've seen tanks go aggro. Proper aggro and succeed. Tank play generally does not feel any different..
Why would c5 be stopped by APS lmao
Not saying a tank needs to be 600m away. They need to shove their weight around some. But theyre not for captures
Smoke run then c4 choke points
in bfv you could take a launcher and c5. in 2042 you can't, because your c5 slot is taken up by Boris Turret
which is not a good replacement for c5
it's kind of a really fucking bad one
You can solo a medium with ease with tnt and a launcher.
Another day another 5 games in a row with unkillable night birds and hinds
Piat did so much.
But clearly it is Not The Time to buff boris right now
to go aggro as tank you need
- two good gunners who dont have tunnel vision and coordinate well
- good repairs
- vigilant infantry support
- trash enemies
whatever the fuck that means
Tanks are probably stronger than normal because there's a bunch of new players who don't know to blow up artillery vehicles
it has a very short velocity though
It wasn't hard to use thankfully.
Tanks could use some more explosive resistance like not a whole lot but some
Tanks in the right hands can literally turn around the match
ok he changed his phrasing lol this is better, but still; you need more time? how much time can it take? the game has been out for over a year!
like shooting a mortar instead of a rocket
True I don't know why tf an IFV has more armour then a tank
My bf1 assault method was large AT grenade
Small one, large one, then prone AT rocket
i admit tho the HE shells are kind of broken
4 seasons and you need more time to determine if APS shouldn't make a tank immortal to all launchers?
and the mortar is beyond fucked
I'd capture tons of objectives with tanks in BFV, I can barely get out from behind cover in 2042 without getting wasted on Conquest (unless the enemy team is bad bad).
we need a chopper balance rework as well. Nightbirds and hinds going 70-0 every game is getting tiring
There’s nothing wrong with the helis it’s just a skill issue tbh
👍
BT has hinds
oh hind as in transportp
The hind is on bk
you are not safe from the scourge
I have never flown in my life and I went 72-0 last game
they take no skill
i thought u meant attack heli
Congrats you faced a shitty team
nightbirds cant even be locked onto my AA launchers right now
it did? you had 3 whole seasons of aoe spam before irish? damn that had to suck
Vehicle attrition needs to come back
vehicles need nukes
oh yeah this patch didn't fix the AA below radar issue LOL
i want the etnire lobby to end when i get a 25 kill streak in the ram
APS on tanks not infantry
nightbirds can fly away at any sign of danger in an isntant
i want to remotely detonate a dirty bomb on hourglass
the infantry APS is the issue
every game has a transport or a nightbird dominating
Whenever I get killed by a night bird I’ll literally hop in a wildcat and end that thing
its way too consistent
Why can you cap points while in a heli? Thats sorta.. strong?
not always available
Infantry APS was in the game from the get go, but no one played Irish
people choose Crams over it often
the funny thing is wildcat straight up loses a 1v1 to transport heli
bad response
You can capture with any vehicle if you try hard enough
yup lol. Preston has no idea what hes talking about
Its just stupider for some
A stacked heli can instant cap anything if they go behind lines
I mean you’re not wrong again it’s a skill issue
The russian jet is particularly hard to cap with
how is a direct statistical loss a skill issue
I wonder why
do you mean a skill issue for the devs? i agree
Literally shoot

Pog i just unlocked throwing knives
yeah, you lose
Its vtol mode is a little harder to pull off
can you not understand these words
Probably the most useless item amirite
Add on that transports can have two engineers, good luck man.
the repair men out repair your DPS preston
The main cannons should be removed on the hind/condor
preston you actually have 0 knowledge on the matter clearly
Haven’t ran into that problem yet
50mm on transport heli wins against 30mm wildcat
lol good luck out damaging a transport heli with 50mm and repairs
Make it make sense
sounds like you're in bad lobbies then
I dont think they have actual flight physics for jets in this
like your logic against you
Now imagine that in littlebird
Unless the transport heli doesn’t see you or the pilot absolutely sucks, they will destroy your wildcat before you can destroy them every single time.
i think they will still be full hp after youre dead
Tanks should be able to carry two types of main cannon ammo
Nah sounds like a skill issue tbh
preston is a bad player lets ignore him
This
this argument wouldn't even exist if this game had any actual statistics available for weapons
Should I stick with the starter or use acw r
Please cope harder
Like in kerbal space you could go retrograde and land vertically with a jet
I want grenade launcher attachment
But i doubt battlefield will
i tested it in portal the wild cat coesnt out DPS two repair men
ubgl is always useful
its objective fact
This argument wouldn’t exist if DICE knew what a transport heli was supposed to be.
preston is just denying it
preston show stat👀
I just want it for last assault op
Example H for why WW2 is a better setting for Battlefield.
No helicopters
you said that there isnt an issue with the repair rate vs damage rate
the issue is not having it easily accessible so people like preston can just deny it and be a little weenie
4 rockets to destroy and two seats for repairs
true
I miss the old huey
to be fair, the JUBBA wasn't exactly much better
I had some turd of a child try to stat shame me yesterday too like demanding i show my stats like I'm hidin something
Im like "find it yourself brat"
Fk not leave my choppers alone
Seethe harder please
i don't seethe at pink names
Seems like you’re seething right now
i'm actually not seething at all today! i got a reply from mr ea man
Yea ww1/2 better. Less tech in the way or magical rebalance
102 more kills 
Bring back the fliegerfaust
Cooler settings and weapons too.
which has solidified my calmness! they have no intention of nerfing aps so i'm gonna uninstall
Make it a flechette railgun weapon to fit the theme
Yea bf1 was like forgottenweapons made into a game
Hell no why you guys want ww2 and ww1 tf
transport heli is actually so good in BT cuz there areent other air vehicles to rival it
you just have free reign to shit on everything on the ground
Cause nonguided bs
No transport chopper
i should thank totalfps for removing that actually; thank you mr EA man for confirming you won't actually balance your game so i don't have to hold on to the string of hope
Just ballistics and guns
WW2 has a much simpler set of weapons, vehicles, and gadgets so it's easier to balance well
Cause it’s cooler. Easier to balance. More factions.
Hear me out. No vehicle with explosives game mode
Fire and forget because once its fired. Nothin matters
Can’t wait for mortars to come in

Bro bf3,bf4 are perfect examples of a game in modern times
No lock ons, no APSes, no helicopters
Maybe they should just have vehicle variety on the fucking maps
Mortars are ooold
Once mortars come imma CLAP vehicles
Just use lis
I would pay so much for mortars
Also buff lis
the 60mm mortar in 2042 should be renamed to the 600mm mortar
cuz thats what it feels like
I can still see us using mortars 20 years from now
full auto mortar
I’m sick to death of every single map having every single vehicle in CQ. It makes every round feel the same. There’s no breaks. The worst part of this game tbh.
Ofc lmao its literally a hand artillery
lmfao just dont play CQ
Mortars dont fit the game though. Like why do you need a 2 mile range in a half mile wide map
cq is a meme in this game
I like conquest
I wish we had a metro map
I could go for a meat grinder map
Mortars should be squad reinforcements only
I just placed two tank mines got ran over by a tank and killed them 
Na
Play 128p Flashpoint
fuck mortars
no, just c5
I do it’s not enough
Didn't know the tank was even there
they are already in the fucking game. fuck more mortars
play breakthrough
If you can’t kill someone on a mortar there’s no hope for you
At least there's no mortar/artillery trucks
Conquest isn’t even the problem. As I said. It’s that every map in the game is the same amount of vehicles as each other regardless of size.
There’s no infantry only maps
There’s no maps without helicopters/jets
You get all the annoying shit every single round.
any map becomes a meatgrinder
you can aim the wrong direction with the vehicle mortar and still kill someone
tfw bfv had vehicle variety and more vehicles and it was in world war 2
There's a 120mm mortar stryker
there are two really obnoxious mortar seats so thats enough
There are no armor focused maps, that's the real issue
we're in the future and all we have is the same tank and a giant rectangle with treads
thats plenty
Maps like Panzerstorm and Iwo Jima
Well little mortars that fire pretty slow and have crap range
Every map in this game is basically armor focused wdym
Tbh I never had a problem with vehicles in a match idk why guy complaining so much
Ah yes, with the one alloted armor spawn per team
whichever side has more TORs wins, and then can't do anything to infantry because they're in a TOR
The 60mm mortar seat on the jawa crawler is just a grenade tosser
future setting
so much freedom and creativity amirite
they have a ton of range but you dont get some bf1 magic sight when you shoot
Can we get arti already
A 120mm mortar will turn an APC inside out
Facts
From 4 miles
arti is HE shell tank
6 tanks per team on Panzerstorm and that was only 64p
bring back the STURMTIGER
4 per team on Iwo Jima
i miss my 380mm mortar
And Panzerstorm was one of the worst maps in BF. And one I actively avoided
