It gets spammed enough as is, it should have minimal range to encourage it being used more AT than as free stack of super powerful hard to spot grenades

arctic grove
#

It’s so lame right now

frank sequoia
#

I think C5 should launch vehicles like the trailer

arctic grove
#

lol

frank sequoia
#

Unless it does now

#

Idk

#

I’m a big projectile guy over here

shell ermine
#

I wish there was a gun that felt as good to shoot or sounded as awesome in 2042 as the M1 Garand in BFV

#

Crack crack chime

#

Does 2042 even have a kill chime sound? I can't remember and I just played a bit a few hours ago

arctic grove
#

It has

#

It just sounds lame

#

it uses a different sound from 1 and v but yes

ahaha no work qwest BP???? me no complite

#

Missions aren’t working

arctic grove
#

I don’t care about missions

#

i have an obligation to care about missions since i have the y1 pass

#

I just want to counter snipe people with a pistol

radiant prism
#

Did missions go down

#

Not asking myself

#

But

#

Damn

#

Glad I got em done last night I guess

clever marlin
#

I can’t make progress towards them

Just checked BFV on PS4 at 7pm on Thursday evening.

12 full or almost full servers in Europe
8 in South America
21 in North America

Wish we had a server browser for 2042

I’m from SA

So there’s at least 1 person in the SA servers

#

Just finished the missions

#

They were back up just a sec ago, completed the explosive one

arctic grove
#

I know the sniper’s glint when aiming it’s supposed to be a drawback

#

But it feels more like a built in blinding grenade

shell ermine
#

I got all of them done except for the headshot one. I just focus on getting the bonus done quickly since the rest can be done whenever in the season

arctic grove
#

same

#

plus headshots are mad easy with ARs

#

I hate the base mag size on this gun so much

#

And yet no matter how many kills i get with it I don't seem to unlock any new mag types

last urchin
#

dose anyone know why when i launch the game my internet connection tanks and i keep getting kicked from matches. my connection is fine with any other game other than battlefield

arctic grove
#

I'm just using this thing to unlock anothet gun then I'm never using it again ever because I hate it so much

arctic grove
#

Whenever we’re about to loose I wait until the live counter reaches one and then I redeploy

#

Am I evil?

arctic grove
#

It doesn't even start with the "standard issue" mag

#

It starts with a "high power" mag that has less capacity

#

What the hell

upbeat sand
arctic grove
#

I don't know why my connection is dipping so drastically

#

Like people are fast forwarding around the map

#

No other game is behaving like thisb

#

It is exclusively this game doing it

upbeat sand
arctic grove
#

Bf should get the battle pass screen off after every match

#

Do I have to actually buy the battle pass to get anything from that or is it a free battle pass

#

I haven't looked into it at all because I don't buy battlepasses

copper ice
arctic grove
#

Don't worry chunky it's just a skill issue

#

Every other FPS game I've played has punished me for reloading every chance I get and this is the one game that's punishing me for not doing that

copper ice
#

bf moment

#

to be fair a lot of guns have dogshit mag size by default

arctic grove
#

I also blame the fact I've been lagging today

#

And I feel like all the PS+ newbies besides me have stopped playing as they've stopped getting noob lobbies and are getting stomped now

idk how stuff just breaks when they drop these updates

game runs oddly slow now, closed it and it wouldnt reopen. magnificent.

DICE shares QA teams with Bethesda

cosmic sequoia
#

had to repair and restart my pc and now it's finally opened

#

lmao

#

Thank you

cosmic sequoia

the hire their qa team from the local morgue

lofty osprey
#

is there a way to clear the attachments in a weapon?

arctic grove
#

Nope unfortunately

lofty osprey
#

-.-

arctic grove
#

I know, it annoys me too. I have to put my clutter attachments at the far slots

lofty osprey
#

there are so many weirds things in this game. i have no idea what they were thinking

sullen hull
#

I keep getting a data persistence error on ps4, any way to solve this?

prime moon
#

The bots sucks, have auto aim

radiant prism
#

That’s uh

#

Kinda how computer players work

pine roost
#

Oh my god the bots have aimbot

#

In fact they are using movement scripts too

#

Look at those macros!

radiant prism
#

Damn

#

Cheating epidemic confirmed

pine roost
#

Yeah this so called (AI) clan are all cheaters. The whole clan should be banned

inner ether
#

If you wanna play the Condor the time is now

#

These new players ignore anything in the air

#

it's like they can't look up

arctic grove
#

I mean what are we supposed to do if we're not playing an Engineer with AA

#

That's a genuine question is there anything we can do

#

Always try to spot/tag any vehicles I see in the air

inner ether
#

Any kind of vehicle. Sundance has her grenade too. The LAVT4 with 30mm is great against the transports.

arctic grove
#

Or if I'm playing Recon I'll hack them as Rao is my main recon

#

I wish I could just press L1 and throw the grenade instead of having to pull it out and then hit R2 -.-

inner ether
#

Yepp

#

or use SOFLAM or darts

arctic grove
#

Oh my GOOOOD the mag size on this gun keeps getting me killed

granite island
#

Loved how everybody decided to rush and attack the sectors in one large push in Conquest spearhead

#

It was beautiful

hushed plinth
granite island
#

Felt like I was in a movie.

arctic grove
pine roost
#

It’s an option in the settings

#

Quick grenade throw or something like that

arctic grove
#

Literally every single time I go to kill an enemy, i have to reload when they have a sliver of health left

#

Holy hell why did they have to change the exposure breakthrough layout. Second sector is awful

#

Literally every single time.

#

If my gun literally just had 5 more mag size, I would have twice as many kills and like half as many deaths as I do

pine roost
#

I don’t even know what it was like before but I hate whatever this is at the moment

arctic grove
#

You either get shot pushing up the cliff face side entry to the command center by snipers on the rock face or go in through the tunnel stairway and then get flanked by the enemy team and it’s tank

hushed plinth
#

Because that happens to me

arctic grove
#

By the time I get enough kills with this thing to unlock the bigger mag size it will have unlocked the gun I'm using it to unlock so it'll be pointless

hushed plinth
arctic grove
#

seasons breakthrough lowkey overrated tbh yeshoney

pine roost
#

That last one simply isn’t fun, jeeps with 30mms can sit inside and out, it just feels random whether you get through or not

granite island
#

Damn it.

#

I died to the rail gun tanks while flying

hushed plinth
#

Lms is literally better than ar even with the delay on the firing

granite island
#

Stranded is railgun haven

arctic grove
#

OH GREAT. I QUEUED INTO KALEIDOSCOPE BT THEN WHEN I LOADED IN I GOT A DAMN BLACK SCREEN Joy_Stroke

#

fine I’ll just play later or something

hushed plinth
pine roost
#

Pp be like

arctic grove
#

It was literally never a problem until I equipped this gun

pine roost
#

So sad that they nerfed the m39

#

I had an absolutely blast with it but could have done more if uni hadn’t gotten in the way

hushed plinth
arctic grove
#

M39 had an identity crisis and thought it was a MW2 battle rifle

#

With that damn one shot headshot BlackHole_Laugh

granite island
#

God damnit

#

It's impossible to fly a air vehicle on stranded

hushed plinth
granite island
#

You just gave me a great idea

#

Sundance time

#

I get c4 every time i spawn kill a few choppers and planes

#

I’m also a garbage tanker

hushed plinth
arctic grove
#

I need to use this to unlock the gun I want

inner ether
#

lvl 24 player topping the kills

#

never missing a shot when they see me

#

hm

granite island
#

All I want to do

#

Is c5 a condor

arctic grove
#

People told me this gun doesn't suck, but it's horribly inaccurate, it's base mag size is damn near unusable, it's recoil makes it exceedingly difficult to keep it on target, this gun fucking sucks.

hushed plinth
granite island
#

While it's mid air

hushed plinth
#

But it also has no damage outside of 20m which is what a smg should do

arctic grove
#

This gun is an AR

#

That wants to be an SMG

#

But it's bad at being an SMG because it has 21 mag

hushed plinth
#

Ac9 is the bp smg

#

You sure we’re on the same page

This game could had a great story

#

Is it just me that wants BF Squad Call-ins again?

granite island
#

So you can call in a cruise missile?

inner ether
#

Please help me not get angry at this game :(

#

Maybe I should stop trying to expect anything from people

#

Like playing their class, reading chat or using their ears

topaz crown
#

Yeah or a mortar

hushed plinth
#

Fuck motar

#

No more explosive spams

topaz crown
#

I miss the V1 rocket

hushed plinth
#

But I’ll allow ucav

inner ether
#

UCAV was garbage

hushed plinth
#

But it’s fun af

inner ether
#

Mortar was fine because it would light you up on the map and become an easy target

#

It was the bane of campers so of coruse people cried

hushed plinth
#

Just give 1 ucav and have a 2 min cool down

inner ether
#

Even then it took an absolute direct hit to kill anyone with the mortar

#

it had crazy spread after just 1 shot

pine roost
hexed reef
#

did the vector get nerffed ?

remote kiln
topaz crown
remote kiln
#

if it was a weapon you could beam with no recoil it would be the best weapon in the entire game

buoyant trail
remote kiln
#

every single AR SMG and LMG would be irrelevant

hushed plinth
#

I’ll just leave the game if my team is about to lose

remote kiln
#

there is no weapon that has the DPS of the vector and an avancys recoil pattern

hushed plinth
#

Because no one would spawn on me when I’m capping

arctic grove
hushed plinth
arctic grove
#

It is an assault rifle

#

It is under the assault rifle category

hushed plinth
#

So the ac42?

arctic grove
#

No it's the AM40

#

Which everybody is insisting is a good gun

#

But it is horrible for my purposes

hushed plinth
#

Am40 is very good close range

remote kiln
#

am40 insane recoil?

worn saddle
#

Nah

remote kiln
#

it's pretty standard as far as controllable goes

worn saddle
#

am40 easy

arctic grove
#

I already said in the past that it's a skill issue

#

I personally do not enjoy this gun

#

I have no doubt it's good for other people though

hushed plinth
#

Well I don’t like the burst pattern of the am40

#

I seem to struggle to beam people with it

worn saddle
#

I like the drum mag or extended heavy ammo with champion barrel + stub grip

remote kiln
#

semi auto isn't for everyone

#

ac42 etc

arctic grove
#

The base mag size of 21 is my biggest issue with the AM40

worn saddle
#

You need the extended or drum mag

arctic grove
#

Because literally, almost without fail, every time I try to kill an enemy I'm forced to reload when they have a sliver of health left

#

And that gets me killed

worn saddle
#

I been liking the RPT more than am40 recently

#

RPT with small barrel beams

hushed plinth
remote kiln
#

eh it's fine

worn saddle
#

Ac42 still 1 bursts

remote kiln
#

it's consistency at medium engagements is solid and it's not hard to control

#

will kill someone in 5 bullets more often than not without much effort

hushed plinth
#

It’s good when i get it to work

#

Which is a skill issue

remote kiln
#

most users are full auto users in regards to recoil management so they screw up the timing between burst shots but once you get it down they're very underrated

hushed plinth
#

I’ll stick to the rm68

worn saddle
#

DMRs are still busted

remote kiln
#

they need to be

worn saddle
#

no they dont

hushed plinth
#

I’d rather use sniper rather than dmr

#

Dm7 is garbage and I don’t like the skv

worn saddle
#

2 tapping with the svk is not fun

acoustic seal
remote kiln
#

yes they do, if DMRs don't do high damage nobody uses them

#

that's the entire category point

acoustic seal
#

i fail to see the issue

worn saddle
#

dmr’s take no skill to use

#

no bullet drop.. no recoil.. 2 tap from 75m

remote kiln
#

say that to some guy hipfiring you with an SMG 2m in front of your face

#

everything in gun measurements is different

worn saddle
#

That’s why you don’t use a dmr in cqb

remote kiln
#

you don't have a choice

#

it's your primary or your secondary

worn saddle
#

Yes you do

hushed plinth
#

Dmr is fine

worn saddle
#

you can always distance yourself

remote kiln
#

how are you going to magically switch your weapon out when there's a guy behind you

worn saddle
#

9/10 if you have the distance you win

hushed plinth
#

I’d say it seems bad because ar and lmg is so busted

#

Because they both have the same range

remote kiln
#

cause even loadout drops take an eternity to hit the ground

worn saddle
#

Just switch to the g57

acoustic seal
#

luv me pocket ac42

worn saddle
#

literally out damages an AR

remote kiln
#

so does basically every other dmr

#

how is that surprising

#

they're not some weapon made by divine intervention with deistic powers

Make sure you tell them how you want them to revive you in chat. Then berate them and all medics when they don't revive you anyway

frank sequoia
#

So are we getting a fuel spray option on jets added to battlefield like the Russians did to our drone today or whaaa

remote kiln
#

it's only natural with an influx of new players

#

they barely know how to tie their own shoes, give it time

buoyant trail
#

Ive been getting revived more by new player than higher level ones

frank sequoia
#

Tie shoes? How do I do that with my Velcro. Am confuse

hybrid totem
frank sequoia
#

Yes and I want now dammit, forget objectives I need taunts

#

Imagine having a jet on your tail and you spray fuel temporarily blinding them. I’d lose my mind from frustration and just love the idea

inner ether
#

I want to tell the newbies here

#

If my Brawler gets hit my a tank

#

Bail

#

Get out

#

Run

#

The chances are we won't survive so it's better you get out

arctic grove
#

So with Angel's loadout crate does my team need to actively interact with it for it to refill their ammo and supplies or will just going near it work like with an ammo crate

#

I just managed to get a 5k

rocky bear
arctic grove
#

I’m surprised at how it happened

#

Thank you

#

This spearhead map is not laid out like a conquest map

#

I like spearhead

#

I don't have anything against it

#

I just feel it's shape doesn't lend itself to a balanced conquest game

#

It looks more like a breakthrough map

#

Well honestly that’s what makes it great

acoustic seal
#

correct, it currently occupies a niche as "the only playable breakthrough map"

arctic grove
#

It’s not a balanced map but not an unfair one either

#

I honestly like the design

#

It’s basically a faster breakthrough and with more dynamic

#

Reminds me of the island map on BFV, the one where the USA forces spawn from a boat

#

hushed plinth
#

Spearhead is my favourite map in 2042

#

It’s fairly balanced

Bro what

#

#

For breakthrough

hushed plinth
#

Not ptfo

#

It’s quite good in breakthrough

crude wave
#

Eh good point but the rocket mini levelution looks really good

inner ether
#

Can the jet T1 grind please include kills/assists/bails?

#

Vehicles destroyed and nothing else is kinda dumb

copper ice
#

No, that would require thought

arctic grove
#

Spearhead probably is the most rounded out map

rocky bear
#

What's the jet flight ceiling?

#

Is it 800m?

800 iirc

It's fucking fantastic

#

And no I don't want to hear the opinions of some no-lifer who has got T1 with both jets who thinks it was "no big deal"

rocky bear
#

Is the f35 less maneuverable than the felon?

worthy inlet
#

Imagine getting even one kill out of a vehicle kill

remote kiln
arctic grove
#

I actually rather like Breakthrough because it's the only game mode where people actually defend

rocky bear
#

Dogfighting though, disregarding hover the felon is the superior aircraft?

remote kiln
#

nope because you can't disregard it

#

it's a mechanic for dogfighting too

inner ether
#

It's like comparing a ballerina to a hippo

#

Going into VTOL only works against these new players because prior to this week, going VTOL equaled instant death

remote kiln
#

eh I mean not really

rocky bear
#

I just started flying the jets and it definitely felt like the f35 could never get behind me

remote kiln
#

you can do only vtol maneuvers which are strictly not possible with the felon

rocky bear
remote kiln
#

they are difficult to pull off compared to the felon, but it's not as straightforward as X is better

arctic grove
#

That game my loadout crate killed 3 different people on my team

#

Do they not see an indicator of where it's falling besides the little tiny device in the middle of the circle

clever marlin
#

alright

#

i have no idea what is causing this

#

i got the game to work twice

#

after one hame it crashes

#

i literally have exausted every possible idea

inner ether
remote kiln
#

spoiler not so well

inner ether
astral sequoia
#

How many maps are there in the game rn?

#

Non portal wise

remote kiln
#

numerous reasons, you're getting chased, killing infantry on the ground etc

astral sequoia
#

I still havent gotten the desert map which i kinda wish i did

remote kiln
#

not everything in a jet is about killing another jet

wide shore
astral sequoia
inner ether
astral sequoia
#

I honestly like all of the maps that i played

remote kiln
#

?

inner ether
#

We talked about F35 vs Felon

#

How they stack up against each other

#

Jet vs jet

remote kiln
#

yeah, and as I said you can't disregard it

inner ether
#

I can't disregard something that had nothing to do with what I was saying?

astral sequoia
#

Im hoping the devs continue supporting the game after s5

inner ether
#

Well no shit

astral sequoia
#

Deff big improvement over just one year since release

remote kiln
#

you said the felon is better

#

it's wrong because it's too simplistic

inner ether
#

in the context of the two jets against one another

#

You don't even get the context

remote kiln
#

yeah, it's still wrong

inner ether
#

HOW?

remote kiln
#

chill, it's not that hard, learn how the x/y axis of the hover for the f35 works when transitioning from main pilot mode, and you'll see how it factors into fighting other jets

#

spoiler, it's about positioning

inner ether
#

spoiler you can stop saying spoiler like you're being clever

#

Hovering in VTOL anywhere above the ground equals death

#

Going into VTOL in a dogfight -can- work

remote kiln
#

lol you've clearly not used the f35 that extensively if you think that

inner ether
#

Spoiler, you're talking out of your bum

glacial quarry
#

anyone have detailed comparison between MPAT and HE shells?

#

how much dmg does mpat shell do against a tank i know HE does 19

remote kiln
#

am I? because half of the ground where the f35 can hover from, can't be targeted by ground targets whatsoever

inner ether
#

I faced a T1 F35 the other day, we spent a good 10 minutes circling around trying to overtake one another. They did the VTOL thing more than once. It ended in them crashing themselves because I out-turned them.

inner ether
remote kiln
#

so you had a whole 1 encounter

inner ether
#

Have you not heard of Lissiles?

edgy oriole
inner ether
#

You can hit a VTOL F35 with an M5 for fuck sake

remote kiln
#

lis missiles cannot reach the range of the map that air vehicles have access too lol

inner ether
#

I shoot jets with my Tor

remote kiln
#

they are wider than infantry and ground vehicles

inner ether
#

Then what the fuck are you doing that far up in VTOL?

#

Just enjoying the view?

remote kiln
#

.. wide, not high

inner ether
#

Sitting up there alone in VTOL, waiting to be shot down by the next Felon or HInd that comes along.

#

Or an ambitious Tor

remote kiln
#

uhh?

#

up?

glacial quarry
#

they just need to find a slope and you're dead

remote kiln
#

you know it has nothing to do with height right?

inner ether
#

You are saying it's safe to VTOL

#

The range at which you would have to sit in VTOL to be safe from Lissiles or ground shots is so far up you'd be useless

remote kiln
#

for the third time

#

its not about height

#

its map boundaries

inner ether
#

HOW IS THAT BETTER?

#

How does sitting out of boundary make you any more useful?

#

I want to put a head desk gif here

remote kiln
#

sitting? nobody's sitting

#

please chill out and stop assuming things

inner ether
#

Oh I get it, you're trolling.

#

You got me.

remote kiln
#

no

#

im serious, please chill

inner ether
#

I've been gotten

#

No you're not. Well back to the game I go

worthy inlet
remote kiln
#

if you actually allowed me to explain instead of assuming 5 different things, its about using the geographic map boundaries to your advantage in a jet situation, and to illustrate my point because x/y vertices are apparently difficult to figure out, this is the map for flashpoint, the boundaries on the flags are the ones which can be accessed by ground, and the red layer, is what aircraft has access to

image.png
#

notice they are blanketed by mountains, which cant be reached by any infantry

glacial quarry
#

yeah but aren't you near completely useless flying outside

inner ether
remote kiln
#

no

inner ether
#

Yes

copper ice
inner ether
#

You are a sitting target.

remote kiln
#

from..?

inner ether
#

Anything else in the air, anyone having a bead on you

#

You can't be serious

remote kiln
#

you know they are mountains right

inner ether
#

YOU KNOW THERE'S OTHER JETS AND HELIS RIGHT?

#

Spoiler, there are

#

See I'm doing your thing. Isn't it annoying?

remote kiln
#

yeah, which as you said dont hover, 300-400m in the air

#

so chill

#

its not that hard

glacial quarry
#

wait so what are you trying to do just hovering 10m above the ground

inner ether
#

And thus yo uare useless

glacial quarry
#

since mountains are blocking you

inner ether
#

What are you doing over there?

glacial quarry
#

are you trying to shoot moles or what

#

or just stop your team from taking the jet

inner ether
#

Yeah what the hell are you on about

glacial quarry
#

can you link your stats i wanna see your KPM on a jet

#

its prob like 0.1

inner ether
#

Out of boundaries with mountains obscuring you, what the hell are you achieving?

remote kiln
#

and what this boils down to, that isnt not a zero zum equation

inner ether
#

You're acting like the jet can't fly around in a 3D space and only has to come from one direction...

#

Why would it even come for you if it can see you prepared for it?

remote kiln
#

prepared for what?

inner ether
#

Holy fucking shit

remote kiln
#

the peak cliff, is a sharp edge

inner ether
#

you're not this obtuse

#

please

glacial quarry
#

so you exist only to kill a jet that wants to chase you outside?

inner ether
#

jesus christ

#

I'm climbing my wall here

remote kiln
#

its that each jet's performance will differ per map

glacial quarry
#

what else are you killing sitting behind a mountain

remote kiln
#

because map boundaries are key to each

inner ether
#

Key to WHAT?

remote kiln
#

uhh, how you go about actually flying the thing lol

#

strafing, blah blah

inner ether
#

Tell us what you are doing behind the mountain

remote kiln
#

repositioning, with hover, and disengaging the hover to re-engage the felon

#

its not that difficult to figure out

#

please actually get familiar with jet mechanics

inner ether
#

You are being deliberately vague abotu your explanations

#

Of course we're confused

remote kiln
#

there's nothing vague

inner ether
#

YES THERE IS

remote kiln
#

you just keep assuming wrong things

inner ether
#

BECAUSE YOU DONT EXPLAIN

#

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

remote kiln
#

..? i cant speak for 30 seconds without you assuming something lol

#

like, chill

worthy inlet
#

Please stop with the caps

inner ether

Someone help me

I'm at work so na soz

glacial quarry
#

anyway does anyone know how much dmg MPAT does to tank

young panther
#

friday night battlefield is on a saturday morning

remote kiln
#

ah kk np

inner ether
#

Spoiler, it's a video

copper ice
#

we get "this does damage and this does less damage"

inner ether
glacial quarry
#

ill still use HE to farm infantry but im just curious what mpat does

inner ether
#

Dice, how much damage does this do?

copper ice
#

if you dont know the stats then you cant tell when the game fucks up and doesnt do the right damage

remote kiln
inner ether
#

Dice: 25xp

glacial quarry
#

does it fire/reload slower?

remote kiln
#

yes

inner ether
#

Oh sorry, 20.

glacial quarry
#

oh so not worth at all

remote kiln
#

it has a lower dropoff at range than the HE

#

does higher damage to the side and rear of tanks than HE, as a %

glacial quarry
#

i think HE is 19 i always hit them for 19 maybe its angled or smth?

copper ice
#

26 to 23 DyingJoy

remote kiln
#

thats the front

pearl ridge
#

I hijacked a tank with HE shells and the fucking thing was useless against vehicles

glacial quarry
#

i dont think its 23

inner ether
#

Of course HE does less damage to tanks it's HE.

pearl ridge
#

I nearly got killed by a fucking MAV

remote kiln
#

the side and rear differences are bigger

glacial quarry
#

idk i still wreck tanks with HE as long as i have a tow gunner

#

just use tow and mortar

#

positioning more important than shell type

pearl ridge
#

The tank's job isn't to farm infantry, it's to fight off any vehicles in the vicinity then support infantry

glacial quarry
#

nah its to farm infantry

remote kiln
#

HE is also generally absolutely terrible for shooting down aircraft compared to MPAT

glacial quarry
#

in this game

inner ether
glacial quarry
#

no one does that

pearl ridge
#

And if you aim well enough, MPAT kills them like anything else

glacial quarry
#

on break

inner ether
next onyx
#

Would rather MPAT for self reliance.

inner ether
#

Here's what I scrounged on damage models

glacial quarry
#

The defense tank is usually too busy fighting off lis and javelin to bother with me

next onyx
#

Fuck this discord appearance update is weird.

glacial quarry
remote kiln
#

that data wont be accurate, the tank rebalancing was after 3.1, iirc

glacial quarry
#

the only tanks that pose a threat to me are TORs but only if i get caught off guard otherwise they cant do anything either

#

damn 2.75 kpm with t-28

inner ether
#

On an MBT it says HE does 12F, 15S, 18R

#

Front, side, rear

glacial quarry
#

dont think so lowest i hit was 19

#

but it does hit 11 on an MAV lol

#

those things are thick af

remote kiln
#

tank rebalancing was update 3.3 so yeah that datas off

#

bare in mind its extremely difficult to test

inner ether
#

It's the only one I could find

glacial quarry
#

i still shoot MAVs with HE shells cuz it kills everyone around them

remote kiln
#

MBTs have critical hit points at various parts

#

e.g. the treads, side armour, then theres piercing

inner ether
#

I really, really, really wish we had the feedback model of the previous BF games, so that I could actually tell how much damage my shot did.

next onyx
#

3 KPM with the stealth helis KEK.

glacial quarry
#

I had a 6 kpm game with the t-28

#

its so funny

#

got called a hacker

remote kiln
#

the critical points of the tank, take into account facing head on, shells will hit different parts, or none at all, its very murky to test reliably

image.png
inner ether
#

I'm also of the opinion that grenades should do no damage to MAV and MBT's at all

glacial quarry
#

@next onyx

#

flashpoint defense is like the only good defense game for tanks besides exposure B1

#

anything else i dont play tank only on offense

inner ether
remote kiln
#

and it gets even worse because MPATs have piercing, which will amplify the damage if it pierces, HE does not

glacial quarry
clever marlin
glacial quarry
#

i get an M1A5 inside lol

#

good luck with that

inner ether
#

Though I do like to drive the Brawler in, as attacker. It's a tough squeeze

glacial quarry
#

m1a5 is p easy too tbh you just go back and forth only

#

along the corridor

#

infantry bois will protect u

inner ether

HAH

In bf2042 you can't cook grenade lol

HE shells are way better at least for BT

#

proud gorge
inner ether
glacial quarry
proud gorge
#

There is nothing good on the BF radio

remote kiln
#

HE are also explosive on contact, which means they statistically will hit the m15 treads less, just by proxy of it having a larger exterior armour

glacial quarry
#

what about staff shells

remote kiln
#

MPAT can and will pierce beyond to the critical sections, sometimes.. when it wants to

glacial quarry
#

do anyone even use those

#

😂

sturdy socket
#

how do i fix this dogshit problem of my friends not showing up when i start the game

#

this is not fun to deal with

#

fucking annoying

inner ether
remote kiln
inner ether
#

Them 45 ticks

remote kiln
#

yeah dodgy hitboxes 101

glacial quarry
#

i feel like the HE radius is still a bit lacking

#

and the explosive dmg model is weird

inner ether
#

I think it's to do with the server tick rates and variable latencies of players.

glacial quarry
#

its either kill, 72 dmg or none

proud gorge
#

Funny how for the recoilless rifle they changed it form the screen to say AP rounds to HE

remote kiln
glacial quarry
#

wish they made he shells as explosive as the mortar

remote kiln
#

so you can quite literally jump out the range if timed

glacial quarry
#

ya ive shot some ppl in the floor and they survived cuz they jumped its weird

inner ether
glacial quarry
#

^ omg yes lmfao

#

bro those AI are cracked at mortar its unreal

#

the way AI works to avoid being broken they are programmed to almost always miss by a bit

#

but missing by a bit doesnt matter with the mortar since its a literal nuke

proud gorge
#

They auto aim the range for its drop

inner ether
#

I wish more people knew what it was and hwo to switch seats

proud gorge
glacial quarry
#

i had an AI go like 20-0 before being replaced

#

and once my AI gunner got a quintuple kill on players lol

#

the mortar can actually shoot super far

inner ether
#

They better add the personal mortar

glacial quarry
#

like 100m i think im p sure ive gotten kills as far as that

inner ether
#

I will be a real lamo

proud gorge
#

Had a convo with about mortors last week

inner ether
#

It was fairly balanced in 4

proud gorge
#

So many people cried about it

#

Saying nah it ruined the game

inner ether
#

A lot of babies camping in the same spot cried about it!

proud gorge
#

I mean just place Irish APS

sturdy socket

is joining parties bugged for anyone else

proud gorge
#

How to stop mortors 101

inner ether
#

Just play Irish, solved

sturdy socket
#

all of my EA friends are "offline"

#

can't invite any or be invited to any partties

glacial quarry
#

lol i had so many people try to stop my HE shells with irish

sturdy socket
#

impossible to play with friends as a result

#

does anyone else have this issue

inner ether
#

We have an actual counter to mortars in Irish so I don't see why not

glacial quarry
#

one guy ran into the open, looked at me and placed down his aps

#

just shot him in the face lol

next gulch
#

Add real mortars DICEPls

inner ether
#

Add MLRS!

#

pshooowwww

#

pshoooow

proud gorge
#

Mortors would be nice cause some maps on breakthrew can be very campy

next gulch
#

Add artillery trucksDICEPls

inner ether
#

Exactly

glacial quarry
#

just use the 60mm mortar

inner ether
#

No not artillery trucks

proud gorge
#

And it’s a bitch to do the old Soviet tactic of throwing body’s

inner ether
#

the hated arty truck

glacial quarry
#

it can shoot super far

#

once u get used to the range calibration its op

next gulch
#

I would but some sperg will just spawn in my mortar vehicle and immediately get blown up CursedCat

inner ether
#

Is the mortar in the MAV better?

glacial quarry
#

i had a gunner go 140 kills with the mortar on spearhead offense while i only got 110

inner ether
#

I recall sitting in a MAV mortar seat and really lobbing them far. THen I got into a tank mortar and it was nothing like that

glacial quarry
#

i used tank mortar to shoot almost 100m before

#

idk

#

prolly the same

remote kiln
#

and you get random variations

sturdy socket
#

damn that reminds me

next gulch
#

HE rounds in 2042 are actually really good, they are also the only rounds worth using

sturdy socket
#

make the tor casemate

glacial quarry
sturdy socket
#

problem of them being better aa's than the actual aa solved

remote kiln
#

theyre good, but inconsistent with some maps with edges when registering

inner ether
sturdy socket
#

on Spearhead it's a fucking lancang dam situation

proud gorge
next gulch
#

tanks would be perfect in 2042 if they had prox sensor

sturdy socket
#

you can literally get tor'd straight out of spawn

#

because it's so open

next gulch
#

other than that, no complaints

glacial quarry
#

the best tank setup is HE shell, TOW and mortar

proud gorge
next gulch
#

TOR is so good at anti tank, that if you're in a regular tank you will never win against one lol

clever marlin
proud gorge
#

It has no drop off so you can snipe across the map almost

glacial quarry
#

if the enemy team has a TOR on breakthrough they automatically lose

clever marlin
#

An HE shell

proud gorge
#

And it’s APFSDS does major dmg

clever marlin
#

Has a smaller blast radius

inner ether
arctic grove
#

TOR is the best sniper rifle in the game

clever marlin
#

Than a frag grenade

glacial quarry
#

i imagine TOR is a lot stronger on CQ

#

than it is on BT

remote kiln
clever marlin
#

Oh

remote kiln
#

the circle isnt the actual size

clever marlin
#

Was gonna say

next gulch
#

I had the drop on a TOR, put 3 shells into him and still lost CursedCat I noobed out

glacial quarry
clever marlin
proud gorge
#

It can camp on the hill side for US

#

Sniping down at tanks

sturdy socket
#

you don't exclusively play conquest?

inner ether
#

But that would require gunners with brains that actually guard your sides

next gulch
#

lol imagine not ONLY playing conquest, casuals

sturdy socket
#

so basically if you're playing conquest like a regular person

glacial quarry
#

when i played BT on US in breakaway i just HE shelled C non stop and got like 80 kills before the enemy team had enough and spawned a TOR

#

from on top

clever marlin
#

The tor is a better wildcat, except somehow better and worse

next gulch
#

nice

proud gorge
#

Breakthrew chads reunified clearmymind

sturdy socket
#

you will kill a person or two with an attack heli

#

then

#

said person will babyrage

#

instantly lock the tor tank

#

then oneshot you

#

with minimal effort

proud gorge
#

TOR has major damage but no armour

#

So it can get fucked kinda easy

inner ether
#

And terrible incline

next gulch
#

Camping with a tank is the only way to play it in 2042, if you even remotely try to play the objective you're doomed

glacial quarry
#

you can beat TOR with a mackay, C5 and some smokes

inner ether
#

The Tor needs to be on a hill in order to reach upwards with shots

proud gorge
#

@next gulch people where crying about Irish APS near tanks

#

I did it but with Blasco

#

Can’t lock on to me now

inner ether
#

On flat ground it can't do much to air

proud gorge
sturdy socket
next gulch
#

barely any tanks actually do it really

inner ether
sturdy socket
#

because you can get an incline off of anything lmao

#

there are so many hills

inner ether
#

I got T1 Tor!

proud gorge
#

Can’t wait for the thermal sights for tanks

glacial quarry
#

i remember one match where my team loved me so much there was always like 3+ APS or the new motion sensor near my tank lol

inner ether
#

I'm certified lame

proud gorge
#

Gonna making TOr sniping fun

remote kiln
#

they are all 90% anti tank in their layout

glacial quarry
sturdy socket
#

needs to double the vehicles to be honest

glacial quarry
#

i still get like 4+ KPM sitting at the back with a tank

#

just snipe ppl with HE shell

sturdy socket
#

128 player maps and only like 2 at max for all non light transports

#

and make the scout heli its own category

glacial quarry
#

well not all the way behind

inner ether
#

We just need engineer specialists to not be awful

remote kiln
#

the big mystery why nobody... rarely, except me and a few other extinct tank players use them is cause its not that fun having to drive a piece of armour 5 minutes up to one flag

glacial quarry
#

but not at the front

sturdy socket
#

problem solved

#

anyone refusing to work with team gets rightfully slaughtered

proud gorge
#

if they gave zain heal for kills to Mackay

inner ether
#

Does the SOFLAM still not reward points?

sturdy socket
#

nope

glacial quarry
#

doesnt matter we have irish

remote kiln
#

they shouldnt lock through flares, just bring back the system from 4

proud gorge
remote kiln
#

was perfectly fine

inner ether
glacial quarry
#

blasco is good too but doesnt stop lis

sturdy socket
proud gorge
#

True but you have to switch to Liz to kill 1 tank

#

Since you can’t lock it

sturdy socket
#

but that is very unlikely to happen

#

so i just want this system to be vastly improved

remote kiln
#

oh yeah i mean on the priority list its not going to happen

sturdy socket
#

starting with the two buffs i mentioned

glacial quarry
#

damn my KPM on crawford is higher than mackay

#

cos tank

sturdy socket
#

in fact

#

those two buffs

glacial quarry
#

😂

remote kiln
#

4 was perfectly fine even if seldom mentioned, ironically

sturdy socket
#

would literally solve the issue of soflam then and there

proud gorge
#

Still waiting for Liz to get assist for her T1

inner ether
proud gorge
#

Shoots both my TGM’s only for a guy in a Recoilless M5 to steal my kill cause he out dmg me

remote kiln
#

i dont think most folk are even aware that soflams make rockets re-engage a already in flight target in 4 come to think of it

glacial quarry
acoustic seal
#

why did the recoilless get a velocity buff? shit is insane now

inner roost
#

cuz it was garbage compared to other launchers in BF games

sturdy socket
#

i've been soflaming for forever in 4

#

like it's the only thing i do basically

#

wait hold on

#

that was phrased weird

remote kiln
#

mean specifically with flares/emp if the rocket does not explode

sturdy socket
#

huh

proud gorge
sturdy socket
#

you mean doesn't explode normally and keeps chasing even after the short time itt's meant to explode

proud gorge
remote kiln
#

yeah thats right

glacial quarry
#

even playing Lis for 1 minute is unacceptable

proud gorge
#

Poopenfarten

remote kiln
#

the soflam will re-designate the rocket onto the aircraft and make it chase it again

sturdy socket
glacial quarry
#

anyone with more than 1 min of lis playtime should be ashamed

very hilarious as well

#

best part about bf4's laser designation

copper ice
remote kiln
#

they call it a bug, i call it a great mechanic

sturdy socket

it sometimes just outright ignores chaff/ecm

#

yes

i love fucking over jet sweats witht it

proud gorge
#

Kinda funny how they just got rid of China for 2042

#

They where still Alive in BF4

sturdy socket

ask a fellow named Pongstroid

the ignoring ECM was the more annoying bit

not nearly as annoying as the TOR though

Give exodus BT plz dice

is the APS on the tank actually good

#

i still use the repair

proud gorge
#

Conquest is cool but billy_sleep

proud gorge
remote kiln
#

ehh yes, its better strictly against other vehicles

glacial quarry
#

how long is the APS cooldown

safe bramble
#

too bad tor still penetrates aps lmao

remote kiln
#

infantry wise you generally will get rundown

safe bramble
#

conceptually dumb vehicle

glacial quarry
#

ah ok

#

then ill prob just stick to repair

#

since i just focus infantry

remote kiln
proud gorge
#

Seen a condor shoot all its GL ammo when a tank had APS up

#

It eats it all

glacial quarry
remote kiln
#

yes it doesnt

glacial quarry
pearl ridge
#

APS intercepts fucking tank shells and that's bullshit

sturdy socket
glacial quarry
#

how long does the aps last and whats its cooldown, roughly?

remote kiln
#

since when does tor pierce aps? that has to be a bug

#

even the heavy shots

fervent rose
#

railgun tank gives zero fucks about aps

glacial quarry
#

tbh the only projectiles i have a problem with is TOR everything else i can out repair lol

remote kiln
#

is this the sentinel APS?

arctic grove
#

I would love to try a tank some time if I could ever have the chance to spawn in as one

glacial quarry
#

so if aps cant stop it ill just stick to repair

remote kiln
#

if so thats normal

fervent rose
#

no the tank button aps, it does nothing

remote kiln
#

uhh defo a bug then, tor shots shouldnt bypass tank APS

copper ice
fervent rose
#

add it to the list pepestarege

remote kiln
#

could be its velocity shot is so high the APS cant register it half the time, but just thinking out loud

copper ice
#

who knows whTs intentional and what isnt

hollow notch
#

does anyone know how to make this stupid fucking game launch

#

it keeps doing the launch screen then goes back to ea bs

fervent rose
#

pray better before you hit play

inner ether
hollow notch
#

i swear

#

it was working earlier, now it's just not doing it

inner ether
#

No actual explosive in the Tor's shot

remote kiln
safe bramble
#

cause aps intercepts projectiles, not explosives

hollow notch
#

6th times a charm

copper ice
#

but aps does intercept all explosives rignt now

hollow notch
#

unbelievable this is even a thing

inner ether
#

Right?

remote kiln
#

yeah, but thats irrelevant

#

it isnt designed to bypass APS

inner ether
#

I can't recall APS ever blocking my Tor shots, at any point

remote kiln
#

the APS theyve got from is from 4 for tanks, modified, and that stopped every sort of projectile except bullets

inner ether
#

APS also doesn't completely block the Wildcat 20mm

#

We didn't have railguns in BF4

#

Well except that DLC pick-up

remote kiln
#

yes there was

inner ether
#

What did the hover tank have?

glacial quarry
#

its just a normal tank thats more mobile

inner ether
#

Well ever since the TOr was introduced, I've never noticed APS stopping my shots

remote kiln
#

APS on tanks for 4 stopped the rorsch mk1 shots

#

so unless the tor has magically been made an exemption, its odd behaviour

inner ether
#

Different game though

#

Tor is new

remote kiln
#

the APS is taken directly from it

inner ether
#

Balance is difference

remote kiln
#

thats not balance

#

thats just stupid

fervent rose
#

yea its dumb if its intentional for 2042's railgun tank to bypass aps

inner ether
#

And I think APS stopping a railgun is stupid :p

#

Seems Dice is of that opinion too

remote kiln
#

yeah, cause its a railgun, thats not game balance

safe bramble
#

and i think a railgun tank in battlefield is stupid

fervent rose
#

well me too

glacial quarry
#

aps shouldn't stop a railgun

#

makes less sense

inner ether
#

ANd it doesn't

#

I no longer believe Hourglass is the worst map, It's 100% Stranded. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it

young panther
#

yes

remote kiln
#

err right, it does seem to be intentional

#

but not because its a railgun but cause its a APFSDS shot

#

i had to boot up the game to remember the specific chamber shot

proud gorge
#

APS should not be able to stop a metal rod

#

Going at god knows how fast

inner ether

ANd it doesn't.

It's intentional.

I don’t was so hot the power generator blew up

inner ether
#

It's so much harder to get rid of body heat when it's hot and wet

Especially if temperature are above body temperature

#

That's when your body starts to absorb body heat instead of getting rid of it, becuase YOU are cooler than the air
