Was that more of a consumer issue or the actual adapter issue
er it's both in a way
I know that people were unintentionally blowing up their connectors because they failed to seat the connector properly
the voltage regulator wasnt designed to accommodate the connector being in that way that's correct
but it should have been because that's an obvious oversight
What specifically did they find was the problem with those cards that had heat/fire issues
consumers aren't bright, and if you don't include consumer errors in your specification, it will (literally) blow up
My older brother is generic joe-consumer. He almost bought a new mower twice once because tthe sparkplug was bad. Another cause it needed a throttle spring
it's why 16 pins are designed the way they are, to avoid consumers unintentionally setting their cards on fire

yikes
But
The connector housing is also really important in maintaining both fitting within tolerance and proper materials
I guess that’s always going to be a problem when going to a new standard of power connector
there was a heat point that occurred between the pin connector at a specific angle
and tldr is it caused it to set alight due to the extreme heat
If you use an inferior material it can also give you a poor fitment causing improper angles and stress
would generate something insane like 150 degrees of heat because of non contact
are we talking about the 4000 series cards with their pins melting or what
yes
Basically creating alittle point-welder
that was a manifacturer/design error
You mean someone who uses a selfie as profile picture
welcome to EA
Launch EA as an administrator after exiting the app
what
they will probably have us pay €5 every time we want to launch the game
I just assumed it was my computer, happens with all my games lol
Tried it all. Just ended up reinstalling…
Well unfortunately manufacturing error is vague. Like you could get this with a lot of issues
Poor tolerances either contacts or connector body, inferior connector body material
You can save time/money skimping on any of those
I played the old gen version of BF2042 yestarday it was horrible
well i dont have it with any game just simply not launching, didnt even happen on the origins launcher. but since they added the EA launcher the game just wont boot until i restart the launcher
Almost like it shouldn’t exist
shit looks like ps2
Imagine if they just had to optimize for 128 players and like current gen
Yeah pretty much, it was running good on PS5 like 60 fps but graphics were a disaster
I cant do videos right now
its not consumer error its manufacturers error. design flaw.
Design flaw is vague i was asking specifically
I was kinda surprised if you want to know lol, the last game I've seen who had that kind of difference between old and next gen versions was BO3*
well your answer is explained simply AND in detail in both those videos.
And neither can i watch
i totally forgot about bo3
cus?
I mean I have to do that with steam every once in a while. Annoying though yeah
Situation
I still play it
what
BO3 PS3 was torture
I mostly say things whike waiting on our network to stop being stupid butni cant watch videos
Trying to develop for two generations is just a waste of time
Yeah a next gen only game would probably mean they would spend motre time on optimization
beenox was only given 3 months to optimise bo3 on that
and they weren't informed beforehand about it
it came as a surprise
yea
Ah.
leave
At the connector company i worked for we used glass filled nylon to loke 0.003" tolerance. Some used "DAP" which is one of those high temp plastics thatll crack if you smash it
A studio getting fucked over a publisher. Very new yes.
at least it's something to debunk the blame on last gen
too much to explain. has to do with the wires, the connectors have a 12 pin connector, but it only has 8 wires leading to it. and inside the pin connector the wires are attached in a dumb way etc etc
just watch the videos
whenever you can
You can still say last gen bo3 was shit but it's because of that.
Yea huh
At least the game was playable but.
Playable but my god the reload animation comparison was fun to watch
I still play BO3 though
Zombies is still fun
Solo'd the Der Eisendrache EE the other day
Zombie modes seem like what you do with an old game. Its weird CoD has em off the bat
no
too complex to explain here + its not linus tech tips server.
Mainly because its just fun and has had so many mechanics built in that evolve on a really simple concept
Well each pin adds X amount of mating force
Literally wont be able to for about 7 hours
well watch it after 7 hours then
I'll definitely forget by then
laptop gaming
🫰
lmao yep
Hello everyone!!!
I found an article on it at least
When i saw 12VHPWR i was like "shit please dont be my conpany" cause they name connectors like that
Woopwooop
Claim dominance over the ground and skies in Rampage 🚘
This week in #Battlefield Portal 👇
🔸 Conquest of Ages (Mar 21-28)
🔹 TDM of Ages (Mar 21-24)
🔸 Flashpoint Rush Chaos (Mar 24-25)
🔹 Rampage (Mar 24-28)
120
It doesnt really go into detail though
But i mean
Thin connector
Cable stress
450W
My company used machined contacts anyway so its not ours
the 12VHPWP is designed to handle up to 600 watts without issue
that's on the factory specification
Yea and that's like ideally connected without rotational stress
They showed a render of the fixed card and its 90deg mounted
You could alternatively supply a 90deg ended cable
But this is easier i guess
the cable wouldn't work
there is no standard that can handle that level of current reliably
aside from ATX 3.0, which basically no extensions have implemented until the start of the year
Well like there are but that vendor probably figured this would be the most expedient solution
Is the new specialist ability even useful?
there isn't, no cable until Q1 2023 was built to ATX 3
90deg mounting solves both issues
the cards were launched in 2022
very
No im saying theyd have to build a whole new cable
oh well, yeah, but they couldn't even if they wanted to
Which probably require more paperwork approvals etc
the spec launched during Q2 of 2022, was way too late
the connector plate is tiny compared to the wires attached to it, so a lot of resistance is on the place causing heat. that combined with the 3 bundles of wires which is really short cause stress on the connection when bend sideways ( as it is intended to bend). which results in the outer 2 connectors becoming loose. the solder brakes and it causes a loose connection which generates heat and melts the pins
^
Yea rotating the cards connector solves both issues immediately
And without additional testing and approvals
Likely if they produced a new cable youd have to have it tested and itd take months
they can't rotate the connector
unless there's a change to the internal PCB, that's impossible
^
Id show the picture if i could
But you know censorship
I was referring to the card render in the article i saw
it wouldn't work
the connectors all have exclusive connections to voltage regulators inside the card
which would cause the inner PCB wiring to break
So that it runs perpendicular to the pcb
Id have to see the pcb itself to say if it requires a change there
it does..
Depending how the contacts wire to the pcb
90 deg mounted connectors tend to have additional mounting hardware too
as deco said before......... they'd need to change the internal PCB's.
again, rotating it without adjusting the wiring that connects to the voltage regulators will break the card
or set it on fire
probably the second
there is no room for messing with the integrity, it's too volatile
I'm going by if the angular stress is the cause of the thermal anomaly going beyond spec
Not if the connector itself is just flawed.
it wasn't beyond spec
wtf where did my loadouts go
Dead
the specification for 12VPH was built with that consideration
did they remove loadouts entirely?
... how long have you been gone
i stopped playing in s2
And you still have regular rank
i didn't stop being in this server
Kato has talked here before
just muted this channel
quite extensively
Ah other rooms
Yea they nerfed everything by adding classes
i thought it'd be a superficial change but they went and got rid of loadouts like half a year after release
that's absurd
Some unclean masses like classes cause it tells them what to do
Loki "this is your natural state"
really not a fan. I had all 10 loadouts set up and i used all of them
now i actually have to switch individual things per class
Yea making a loadout for a task and/or purpose?! What is this sorcery!
No we cant have that
don't know why DICE got rid of them to be honest they could have just reset them
yeah, classes and loadouts can coexist
My favorite part of the hurdur is that recons have both the soflam and the tracer dart. Of which only the engineer benefits from the tracer dart but god forbid they carry one
i understand resetting them because of the gadget and weapon clashing but
removing them altogether was dumb
I think like a major part of why they did classes was specifically preventing squirrel girl and mackay from using spawn beacons
they were correct in not giving the engineer tracer darts
it doesn't solve anything that wasn't already a problem
Engineers are the only people thst benefit from them. It makes no logical sense to not give it to them other than trying in absolute desperation to force people to teamwork
And shocker
It doesnt happen
yeah that's what they're trying to do
Teamwork will never be forced.
It either happens by accident
Or by incentive
it's also why they gave Rao hacks the ability to be locked on aswell
man i was almost ready to come back to 2042 and check out new maps and guns but no loadouts will keep me away for some more time. I cba to figure out the classes
If you got frigin Bcoins per tracer kill. You bet your ass every recon would use em XD
But just like
Not letting engineers use it. Nah
meh to be honest they're more forgettable than anything
Is tactical compensator the best muzzle
yes
for what weapon
Theres ways around classes. I ditched my other builds i just play lis with a railgun now
The lis rocket solves the fact you'll never get ammo for an AA rocket or m5 or javelin
And the rail holds like a billion rounds
M5a3, idk what weapon accuracy means
The rounds usually over by the time i need ammo
oh idk about the M5 not used it in ages
short barrel is the best
any gun that has short barrel, use it
zero penalty to accuracy and recoil
M5 recoilless
Vcar goes hard
Even as somebody who hates classes, its worth a try to see if it impacted your favorite build types
Some playstyles didnt really see a change
Weapon accuracy is of its spread.
Dependant on the weapon. It's the best for submachine guns and snipers and niche for assault rifles.
Arcom is what you want on most assault rifles.
Other is short barrel with the STNR laser sight.
still dont know diff between stnr and mgr
Short tungsten nitride rifle :v?
"The blue one" or "the red one" would also work
For a laser
The jawa crawler is ugly
And badly designed
I assume the brawler is the wheeled guy
brawler because the driver actually gets abilities
plus full team spawn
star wars
same reason RAM > wildcat
spawn beacon
tactically they're just drastically superior
Til you need to kill a chopper
horrendous balance failure to not add those capabilities to the previous models in the vehicle tiers
if its got 50mm you're still losing
not worth picking something that's only good against air and dogshit against both vehicles and infantry instead of something that just performs well
ram howitzer fucks infantry and its missile launcher fucks vehicles
The 30mm + AA missiles is really the only way youre gonna kill a hind
superior mobility, spawn beacon, even a sexy bonus gunner slot that gets AT/AA missiles
honest to God you're better off with a tor
which is beyond stupid but thats current game balance
The 30mm keeps em damaged then the AA missiles deplete their flares it also keeps them doing more things
You basically overwhelm the pilot
If the hind has 50mm it just wins
Well the hind is like almost broken
not really
A mildly adequate pilot can keep one in the air most of the battle
the 40mm gl is broken af
Wildcat harrasses hind better than any alternative yeah but giving up all ground capabilities to not even guarantee air kills without them messing up is an insane trade
Default build wildcat on defense, ram on offense
condor and hind with 50mm beat wildcat 30mm in a flat dps contest
this is testable
id love for tanks to have AA capabilities
are we also assuming the hind doesn't have reppers
Some idiot bailed his noob build wildcat and i took the hind out he struggled with all game
40mm is better for infantry farming but the 50mm literally kills the anti air vehicle before it kills your heli
boob build
30mm wildcat should be drastically better vs infantry
no we don't need anymore losers using AA to kill infantry
Yea i hate the trope of
"Big guns shouldnt hurt infantry to discourage their use"
But that's battlefield
non-lock AA has historically always been good against infantry due to either massive exploding flak rounds or 8 billion machine guns
I literally just spent the last few days grinding out the assignments to unlock Crawford, Lis, and Zain. Are you kidding me?
rip
dice moment
at least you progressed the bp
Also buff Crawford's turret, worst specialist
currently wildcat is absolute ass vs literally everything on the ground and it doesn't deserve to be
That Super 500 do be hitting different
The thing i kinda hate is besides the wildcat... what other AA is there
boris and Crawford are the special duo that are the only specs to get access to rocket launchers and are probably also the worst 2 specs in the game
idk
another dice moment
Theres no map AA
i just hate seeing friendly teammates trying to snipe infy with AA
AP ammo is basically worthless
the aa launcher :^)
like you're doing nothig
Yea the AA rocket js basically a button that uses the enemy flares
literally just activates it for them
And you get 2
lmao
Two!
i've heard the arguement that the AA launcher is meant to make pilots fuck off instead of just killing them
that's a silly argument when we have Literally No Alternative
if that's the case why not just make it a device that manually pops their flares
If the ONLY aa option we have is the launcher then it needs to kill them
From a design perspective that's the only thing that makes sense
Yea like if you wanna damage a helo
Use lis
If you wanna use their flares up, use the AA launcher and spend the whole battle looking for ammo
I have more heli kills with the fucking 40mm AP underbarrel nade launcher than literally anything else
pops flares. fucks off behind building
lis being picked so much does suck ass when you're in a vehicle but like, fuck, can you BLAME them? wtf else are they supposed to do
Yea its the only way to deal with hinds and tanks
flares negate all decent aa options and hipfiring the m5 into the air is like trying to land a nat 20
Otherwise APS eats your rocket and ....
Welp
Thats my rocket for the game.
-redeploy-
and even if you land the m5 you have to land Three More Shots
why can't DICE ever balance aircraft
4 dumbfire rockets to take out a fucking helicopter
like what is so hard
Yep
And god forbid you get 3 whole rockets
Oh and god forbid somebody drops an ammo box
in this case it's a vestige of trying to balance vehicles for 128p servers where everyone could use every gadget
everyone running assault with C5
Aps broke vehicle balance more than anything id say
if the entire 64p enemy team was running aa launcher then they thought you needed a strong defence
apparently not
this hasnt changed despite 64p and classes now existing though
so they're just woefully overtuned
Like lack of ammo
Lack of damage to vehicles
All points to aps
Then when it comes to the hind
Its just flat broke.
Takes as many hits as a damn tank while flyin
7 second reloads on the launchers when the vehicles have so many "lol no" buttons
Yea
yea what's the point
Either a button or an always-on unlimited-ammo forcefield generator next to em
I use the thermal on my lis railgun to look for aps pods but if theyre camping behind cover i csnt reach it
ok you shot one rocket but they smoked/flared so it missed
7 seconds
ok you shot and hit them and they pressed repair and negated all your damage
7 seconds
ok you shot again but you missed because they expected it and moved
7 seconds (and a resupply)
you go to shoot again but their smoke/flares are back up and also they were waiting for you and you're dead now
fucking insanely interesting gameplay going on here
Buff lis (again)
let me try getting on the stationary weapon instead- oh wait, we don't HAVE any
but what about the pilot twats that cry on reddit when they can't go 120-1 in a match
it's not a fucking sandbox if you have one tool and it doesnt even fucking work
Skill issue
Just dodge the missiles
Their fault for standing still
"what do you mean i can't farm infantry"
it's insane that aps hasn't been nerfed in this long
i cant get around it
it's crazy but i think bfv had better vehicle balance than 2042
from a balance perspective it's a fucking nightmare and they literally just will not do anything about it
the tank gameplay in V was awesome
bfv had fucking horrendously imbalanced vehicles and i still agree with you
they felt nicer to use as well
the mosquito with the big delete button bomb
Yea i literally quit bf5 for its vehicle balance
2042 vehicles arent even enjoyable
the jubba was very silly
With planes, intollerable
the best part of bfv was that it had maps with no fucking aircraft though
2042 doesn't have this
every single 2042 map has Every Fucking Vehicle on it
And after bf1 where you could kill a plane with a pistol if you got a good shot
i cant believe they went through bfv and then made aircraft even harder to kill in 2042
i just fucking hate aircraft in bf
at least the jubba had to recharge it's nuke capabilities
Is there a reason i have lag only when playing 2042?? No other game lags for me
the helis have bottomless ammo
fps or latency?
Latency
Mirror's edge?
They wont go back to module damage like bf1. Ie breaking the machinegun pods and such
OH GREAT
The most they do is like engine/movement damage
Anyone else get it where Battlefield 2042 just won't launch at all, does the EAC startup screen and closes.

Forgot 1943 existed
At first i was like wow they still have the first battlefield on.. ohhh the other one
what if we just gathered all copies of the games and bury them
what if we erase all traces of these games existing
they're preparing for NEW and IMPROVED (tm) experiences
oh i can't wait
i've never played these games but straight up removing them from online storefronts is fucking ass
i guess this means sequels to both bad company and mirrors edge are coming heeheehoohoo
can they remove the transport helis alongside those games
i think my biggest issue with the vehicles is that they feel like they're balanced for a different game
fuck it
remove all games
revert back to cavemen era
get your clubs ready
club royale
unga royale
the infantry get meatgrinded fucking constantly in battlefield but it's entirely plausible for the vehicles to die less than two times in an entire round
they just shouldnt be that sustainable
They could solve the hind in a lot of ways
Longer flare cooldowns
Slower throttle response
Less hp
make vehicles more vulnerable (like in real fucking life lol) but also crank up their damage capabilities
Increase likelihood the engine/rotors are damaged
its more fun when attack is high and defense is low
high defense low attack just makes dealing with them a fuckin nightmare
it's not rewarding to be doing 25 damage in the 30% chance you actually land a rocket
I really hate aps too. How its just "at X distance delete missile"
aps flat out shouldnt exist for vehicles
i've always played tanks in bf. i love tanks
i could give less of a fuck about tanks in 2042
the grenade spam for infantry is insane and i understand it's purpose on foot but negating all rockets just because your tanker is Irish is just ridiculous
The only way around APS on vehicles ive found is with lis. Like dont aim at the tank and then turn hard into the tank
the BALLS on DICE to make it so tank shells can't one shot transport helis
crank up vehicle agility, aoe, make the coaxial machine guns better, reduce repair rates, increase smoke cooldown/decrease duration, increase damage taken to sides/back of vehicle
titanfall had the right idea
they come in frequently and they're designed to be destroyed frequently
there's no reason to have the same tank last all match when you have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of infantry deaths
you could even reduce the respawn delay on vehicles so their uptime is higher even if they're dying more often
gives more people a chance to use them as well
The fact they close servers for those games and remove them from digital sells would be a good opportunity to reveal a bit more about next entry in the franchise but we'll have to wait though
theyre too afraid to announce anything because people will stop buying 2042
its a marketing strategy
dont suggest an alternative when the current product exists
same shit happened with bfv
just have to wait for the shambling corpse to rot first
Year two edition leaked tho.
The fact that nothing has really been added to the portal experiences but they're removing bad company 2 from the store front and closing servers is kind of insulting
Yeah but's it's because it'll be released in a long time too, like 2025
I was able to get mine to boot directly from the EA app - normally boot through steam but was having the same issues as you on boot
I'd honestly still be playing bad company 2 to this day if the netcode wasn't so garbage. The ping is insane
I'm kinda surprised with that news tbh, idk what to think about it
Bruh seriously why do i only have latency issues on 2042 and no other online game
i'd be playing if there was still vietnam servers
how long will dice support BF 2042? like add stuff to it?
One more year atleast
lol this studio is a joke
i only think they have talked about up to season 5 , but theres rumors about a full year 2
I cant find any players lmao
cuz they will probably cook up and sell the next battlefield scam
they mention they wanna go to do gadgets for ze classes instead of specialists tho
falck
welcome then!
Turn crossplay on
best support imo
all the recons are cool (except rao)
falck is consistently useful
and your team too
nah rao goated against vehicles
take ammo box and you can heal + resupply everyone
heal the team and yourself
*she
she has a pistol that heals people and revives twice as fast than the other medics
Comes with a gun that shoots healing darts and revives faster
how?
the hacking thing does almost nothing
his hack defuses the weapons and soflams the vehicle for engineers
rao is ass against vehicles with a 2.25 second hack time and no gadget that can actually hurt them
and when you kill a hacked enemy it will spot other enemies around them
if you know how to use him hes great
ah nice, at least it requires teamwork
That changed some time ago
prevents quick repair and flares too
oh amd when you get damaged the enemy that shot you gets spotted on the minimap for everybody
Just hacking someone spots everything around them
You don't need to kill the hacked person anymore
it's better against aircraft because the range goes from 100m to 250m but it's still nothing but a vague irritant and takes up a bunch of your time you could be shooting or spotting instead of fiddling around with your armband
yeah but it goes away, if you kill the hacked enemy it lasts longer
Balls man
this is why I like Rush XDDD
https://outplayed.tv/media/Mv4Q1g
Tell them to fix jets amd bring back bf4 smaw
Three C5 for one kill lol
C5 needs to be nerfed against infantry
c5s are meant for vehicles imo
they should be
Says the Dozer
the spx needs to be nerfed against infantry
hack is just an emp nade that spots and target locks (for a short duration)
the spot is irrelevant when pressing Q exists, and the target lock is irrelevant because 90% of engies are running lis and flares persist through being hacked
SPH needs more drop, that would fix most of its problems
shut
I wanted to make sure he would die 
picture goes hard ngl
nice, bundle thing?
IT'S THE DIVISION!
gas grenades incoming?
Latest bundle yeah. Sundance on the right isn't a part of it
that would be nice
reduce sph rof, increase reload slightly, increase time to explosion, stop giving everyone so many fucking explosives
The Sundance skin on the right is a part of the BP
they should add gas grenades
oh god no
Which makes me wonder how many Battle-Pass skins are actually just hints for store bundles coming up
Engineer and Support Class 
I think thats blasco
I like em all ngl (but I prefer the classic class system tho)
That backpack doesn't look like Sundance's
Wait till the next game doesn’t feature a class system again… 
no one has engineer as their favorite class when boris and Crawford exist
If you guys like chicken nuggets you're lame
Wrong
No I like the Engineer and Support Class
you are not people
ok
No not me. Talking about the prone lmg players that set up a torrent then camp there
ah, utilising the Crawford mounted gun for its correct purpose; being a sideways Irish barricade
I meant boris
I like how decent(easy) the battlepass is to grind compared to call of duty's battlepass...
boris players don't understand what they're doing
Exactly my point
Crawford can be quite effective if you know how to use him
Which is why they choose boris
I dont even know what boris his special thing is
i don't think you can ascribe humanity to them, they're like random electrical impulses
Boris's special is making his turrets better when you're close
i only use crawdad bc of his ability
Really digging raos gas mask skin
faster repair when vehicle is almost dead
boris is literally the worst spec with 0 redeeming features
I use the healing lady alot
Wish they had the same mask for falck
Falck is the one i use
fr it takes like 20 minutes to just get one token there
i still dont understand why there's no weekly missions for tokens
Combined with smoke launcher
Crawford has the repair boost (it shouldnt exist) and his stupid lame incredibly situational turret
run ammo box with falck and you have infinite smokes
An hour on my skill level😔
Or just use Angel because he’s a better falck
lol no
Ngl thats why i prefer battlefield more, im too unskilled for call of duty
FFA is the fastest way to get tokens
since cod doesn't really count points, it counts how many matches you do
ffa is the fastest mode to finish hence you get more tokens faster
angel is worse than falck because his tossed ammo is garbage since it doesn't refill gadgets and his crate requires interacting to refill
and medbag < falck pistol
yes but
bring me back to the days when angel gave people armor
angel with armor bags was so fkn good
I don't see wide falck anywhere
ammobag works easy as fuck and syringe pistol allows for constant heals
id only use angel for when i wanted to focus ammo regen, but im more of a healer so i run double heal falck
armour angel was great because armour was fucking stupid and shouldnt be in the game
ammo regen is solved by just taking ammobag with falck
couple of ammobag falcks and a medbag Irish and you're set
angel is irrelevant
swapping loadout is pretty worthless now gadget choice is so limited
most guns are decent in all scenarios
angels passive is useless
i use his loadout to refill everything. better than ammo bag imo. unless you got 4 people that are feeding you ammo bags at the same time
which is as rare as someone using his loadout
what do you have that constantly requires full charges
rockets
tru
ammobag has a low cooldown by itself, can be thrown again once that recharges to get another regen and stacks with others
rockets are poo in 2042
7 second reload gives ample time for the ammobag to regen lel
rockets are bad if you don't know how to use them
angel also cant run rockets himself so you have to be following someone else around
or. you can full refill an AA crew with 1 loadout and just keep unloading on vehicles.
an aa crew is meaningless because flares exist
which im pretty sure the cooldown for loadout and ammo bag is the same thing
the amount of ammo is irrelevant
flares dont counter m5 unless its locked on
the stinger could have infinite ammo and flares still negate it
64p conquest is to slow
stingers are shit bc you require lock on. situational and bad. m5 better
having to use the dumbfire rocket for anti-air purposes is not very sustainable against anyone who can actually fly
and its still the best option which sucks
Idk why they made 64p conquest the only cq mode you can play
im talking anti armour in general not just helos
for a dedicated anti tank squad that's doing nothing but firing m5s from the same position yeah I'll give that one to angel
the issue is that a single Irish negates all of them
all vehicles not just tanks
and a cohesive group like that is better off doing other things
m5 isn't consistently effective against air vehicles man
like not going for vehicles and getting farmed?
every ground vehicle has the health of a tank
it is if you are good at it
the lock on launcher is the worst against pilots that know simple maneuvering. m5 is the most viable option
a group of m5s in the same place is also very juicy for a heli
i agree with this
the m5 is still ass against aircraft
but its the best bet
infantry just dont have anything actually good against aircraft lel
its definitely the best option it just sucks that the best option is pointing the dumbfire launcher vertically and praying
M5 has the highest velocity compared to past launchers iirc but it lacks ammo and a bit of damage
Honestly I would like for DICE to buff the reload speed, ammo and slightly buff the damage in exchange for lowering the velocity of M5
taking into account ads time and actually aiming at the target it's like 7.5 seconds minimum even at max rof on a stationary target
repairbots can just heal that
they buffed the velocity because engineers are supposed to be able to hit vehicles "even from their defensive positions"
what this translates to is Boris and Crawford have shit specialist gadgets that are only useful for defending (conceptually, because in practice they're not useful period) and they want engineer to somehow defend the base while also attacking vehicles
which doesn't make any sense
Boris used to be good for offense
They forgot to buff the ammo and the slightly increase the damage. I’m not saying that a Engineer should solo a tank but what I’m saying is it should damage the tank enough too force to retreat
Isn’t it kinda hilarious how much higher my K/D is than you clowns 🤡
which is what happens when you try and cram a bunch of specialists into a class system that was clearly not designed for them
Back when he would highlight enemies
they didn't forget, this is by design
what is better SFAR or RM68 ?
Iirc in BF4/3 you can’t solo tank but you can damage it enough that it will force to retreat
they have no interest in making launchers decent against vehicles in 2042
all assault is vialble, but rm68 is new so abuse it for the rest of the season
or they'd have nerfed heli flares by now
oh u again hah
they're fine with them sucking
Nah one man shouldn’t be able to force a tank back with a skillless wep
imo, S-FAR is better for me
hi, who are you?
I think I saw you yesterday
can you at least build into the baiting limit
*That’s what happened when they force the Specialist in the first place…
it wouldn't have hurt to at least pretend
See you on the Battlefield
to you
and I called you friend and u said we ain't no friends
the southpark joke? i'm not your friend, buddy?
oh
M5 is literally an aim based weapon the hell to you mean? Plus it’s literally the weakest launchers out of all launchers in Battlefield
I dont watch southpark xD
look at that quote
he's just baiting
oh
alright
xD
anyways, I think S-FAR is better
I tried changing to AK24 but I think S-FAR holds his throne
pretty tight
It's been holding the throne since launch
It’s called recoilless for a reason dude bro
Sfar hasn't been dethroned for the few years battlefield 2042 has been around
SFAR was pretty bad at launch
Muh extendo mag sfar
There are mortars. Change your name
What type of a thing is the sfar
No there isn't
Because it has backblast?
I dont use it so..
Yes there is
The ones on vehicles don't count
Oh fuck man
But all i use is lis now
Sfar=Scar
sfar is 4btk to 50m kind of thing
Yeah huh !
They are shutting down BC1 1943 and BC2... fucking christ
Nope
So it's not a sniper rifle
I'm talking about the mortar equipment
Yeah!
The one where you can fire in a arch behind cover
Yeah the ones on the vehicle
No
Cry some more
Literally crying in your name tag
Are you one of those cringe heli pilots
Cope
Add mortars 😭😭😭 I want to fight people who can’t fight back 😭😭😭
Lasers when
Cope mate

Please don’t let me have actual engagements I want to hit people from out of range and behind cover 😭😭😭😭😭
interesting
he's just baiting man
We all know
he's been doing it since his first message a few minutes ago
Lmao
not worth responding to him
I figured
Gets proven wrong with facts and statistics “he’s baiting”
Waaah waaah waaaah
Lmao
And then
"BAIT ACCEPTED"
So I see you’re taking the L, wise move

guys what happened to the flag notification you had saying the flag was being conquered or not?
Block em?
like when you are AT the flag it no longer appeared
It was fun for a bit but its getting stupid
Nah they usually disappear to nothing in a few minutes
It's a bug
Happens to alot of them
Like the odds of mortars being added 
Do you have any idea who you’re talking to ?
Stopped playing a while ago, came back and saw a ai bot flying a jet, nice upgrade!
Doesn't exist
My greatest achievement in life
It's just your imagination
the bait is so prevalent I'm surrounded by fish already
The hatch never existed
I am the hatch
I can confirm his story
I didnt want to make a big deal of it
My reluctance adds credibility
you guys didn't... ew
But i am a sentient hatch on a map
That's nasty
Nah i just was moved physically out of the way
Ordinarily people ignore me. So the attention was nice
they say jesus emerged from the sentient hatch on Stranded after the third day

You definitely moved something
blatantly stupid infantry explosives are already in the game, it's called sph launcher
Observer is jealous of my K/d 😔
profound stuff as always vfc
Lmao
year 2 is going to add one new infantry explosive each patch until everyone quits the game
Until you quit the game
Explosive rounds for the ntw
SPH is too powerful? Didn't realize it was unpopular opinion hour
Please don’t talk in this chat if your k/d is less than 3. High value takes only
Explosive knives
I was foolish enough to think the sph launcher might be okay if it was targeted specifically at breaking walls to make entry points, and then i found out it had two shots per mag and reloaded in a second flat
Gonna put your kdr on your resume?
Love the salt, the devs added ONE explosive gadget that's exclusive to ONE class and people overreact lol
Because it's horrendously powerful?
right under "professional poker player" apparently
They nerfed it immediately it was so obviously overtuned
Honestly I prefer to add the mortar just for them to quit the game
And assault specialists already have a ton of explosives
Warn ya. If you put your battlefield stats on your resume. Better be the right game.
Zain doesn't even need bullets at this point
Don’t really need a resume as an RN
thats an overstatement and you know it.
9 UBGL grenades, airburst, sph, frags
it regenerates
Oh god not you too
i literally have gone entire matches with zain without using bullets
that was pre sph
It'll still lose 1v1 to a gun every time.
yeah if you stand in the open next to someone sure
I've taken Zain to T1. He's good, but get sights on a zain using his XM and he's done
so you can just not do that
what kind of argument is "if the other player sucks you'll win every time"
no shit
why are you 1v1ing people? god gave you 100m range for a reason
being seen in an fps game apparently counts as sucking
lets be real though, the XM rarely gets used at the 100m range
Its average range of use is probably 30-60m
im pretty confident the average player is not full autoing the half of the zains head that's showing from 90m away behind cover before they get triple airbursted
i literally died to two different prone zains at 100m last night, one was first sector exposure and one was last sector stranded
airburst is horrendously strong right now
Nice thing about being 100m away is that its super easy to just, yknow, move? Where he's not shooting?
jesus christ use your wasd keys
actually wait this is BF no one does that
Boss "so you have a 3-1 kdr on battlefield... vehicle user?"
"Just the SCAR"
"Scar?"
"It's an assault rifle"
Bossmans expression drops. "I see.... any other interests? What's your favorite elite class"
"Elite class? Sir? Uh" You notice a case behind him with an old gas mask and a model biplane.
If my attacking teams on BT are anything to go by
And I never died to Zain from 100m, and I died to Zain multiple times
i can count the amount of people who've gotten hit by my first airburst and not gotten killed by the two followups on one hand
Signed copy of 7 nation army on the wall
People need to realize the counter to Zain is literally to just move
The aoe is huge and the minimum damage guarantees it's almost always a 3 hit kill
And Irish
The thing is when someone is shooting at you from the other side of the wall is they can't track when you move
Or just be 110m away
JUST MOVE BRO THERE'S ONLY A SINGLE DIGIT NUMBER OF FLAG ENTRANCES AND COVER SPOTS ON EACH MAP
Zain has a hard counter, fucking use it
You can easily approach any flag from an infinite number of routes above
If you don't use it you have no right to bitch
Just parachute
I’m sick and tired of seeing all these low-skill player takes. Please dont chat unless you have at least a 3 KDR
Ive had zains pop airbursts in front of me at like 50m away
So you are speaking because...
Gotta love vfc taking things out of proportion because thats the only way his arguments make any sense
Just kinda
That scene in toystory when woody opens buzz's visor and he starts choking
It's a bait don't fall for it
when someone is airbursting you from the other side of a wall you have to react incredibly quickly to avoid the third hit, get lucky with picking the direction you run in that he isnt firing in that direction, and also have more cover to move behind so you dont run out from the wall with 30 health left immediately into the open
Woodys expression when the visor fell
Look at my K/D then never speak again, thanks
I know it is. My question is if he's going to keep going knowing that I know that it is
I will speak to you for as long as it takes
Don’t tempt me
i got triple hit by a zain behind a wall when i was already tac sprinting and he fired at the same place all three times because the aoe is just that large
You do realize that your own KD is under three, right?
I round up for myself
Im pretty sick of this inability to see cap percentage bug
it doesnt consistently get 5+ multikills because it's a small aoe
No one else is allowed to though
Kinda ridiculous it’s been 2 weeks brown
only two weeks
Of not being able to see the cap percentage in about half of games
I have to round down just to get to your level
Proof is in the pudding
consistently?? damn, I need to get in your lobbies! because you're totally not blowing things out of porportion again!
you and vfc both need to learn that hyperbole doesn't make a valid argument
That's valid Gecc
fire behind the rock on the hill next to first point stranded, i'll wait
Way too many low K/D players in chat right now I can’t see the quality discussions
there are tons of clips of 5+ multikills with zain
Please dont criticize other peoples kdr if you have to round UP
this isn't hyperbole
It is
I think it's funny that I'm in the top .3% of roadkillers
Clips = consistency ?
I've never gotten more than 5, and I can count the amount of times I've gotten 5 kills in one burst on one hand.
Lol that’s pretty swag ngl
have you tried firing at the enemy
I once got a double kill with a lis rocket
Clips, which do not represent the vast majority of Zain usage.
Uh, they're called magazines
If we went off my clips, I'd be a god tier player that hits the craziest clips 24/7
when I just don't
Lmfao
the number of clips correlates to it being reproducible
Okay you’re allowed to chat
the more something gets recorded the more it happens
I’ll make an exception for you
If it was a regular appearance, people wouldn't clip it.
It gets clipped because its rare
Once again
I've gotten Zain to T1 and think he's crazy strong
Bro if you have to explain something so obvious there’s no point in discussing it with them
it gets clipped because it's stupid and shouldn't be happening
but 5+ multikills are the exception, not the regular
the average player doesn't get multikills so they clip them whenever they happen, which happens to be consistently with zain, because airburst is nuts
Why cant i find not one rush xl match
You'd have a lot of trouble cramming 5 people in the blast radius of a zain popper
not really
I see nothing wrong with multikills being possible through using a gadget properly against inattentive enemies
Rush sucks
the aoe is huge and the minimum damage is still 3hk
Like what a CF of people all NtB hiding behind one divider...
People in this game just haven't heard of spacing
like ive said before, the aoe is so large and the minimum damage so high that people usually die even if they immediately react after the first shot
"inattentive" i get behind cover and start exploding from something on tbe other side? and that's supposed to be predictable?
The rate of fire on Zain is slow enough that the victim can indeed just move
If you don't move when the first one hits thats on you homie
It fires so fucking slow
you can still get killed by the two follow ups even if you react immediately
LOL
can, if you're stupid.
What happened to no hyperbole
If your face is over somebody elses shoulder...probably too close
You have enough time mate
It's a skill issue for not moving, you have the reaction time to move
Like if you're seeking cover and you have to hold your arms to the side to fit... maybe bad idea
Definitions of slow aside, there's still plenty of time to react
its 3 shots within a second and a half
I'm never within 100m of an ally let alone a zain so this doesnt effect me
Apparently some people just have the reaction time of a PLANT
If you can't react within a second and a half I think I just feel bad for you
the first shot isnt noticed until it blows up so that thirds the amount of time to react to it
same "time to react" as the sph, just long enough to accept your death https://clips.twitch.tv/GentleJoyousBoarBrokeBack-5PChZJ-lzMXIk9Dc
No it doesn't
i have been in multiple scenarios where ive already been moving for other reasons when the first burst hits me and i still get hit by all 3
this is getting more delusional the more it goes on
wow crazy you got stuck by the explosive and that killed you
As dumb as the SPH is, oh fuckin well
unlucky deaths happen
When I get stuck with the SPH I go, oh well, lucky shot, and I DEAL WITH IT
the minimum damage of the airburst shouldnt be 3hk
not really lucky when its pinpoint accurate
Or you can be dozer who can survive those
sph is very easy to use
damn still unpopular opinion hour
Oh yeah, the SPH has a counter
I dunno the radius but its a pretty small bomb way smaller than a grenade
yeah but there's two of them
If you hate the SPH, play dozer, pretty simple
SPH definitely needs a nerf
its smaller now it got nerfed but it blows up way faster than a frag
yea
and two in quick succession
the rof on it is really high
Thats the big problem we have
You cant cook grenades in this can you
Make it like a nade launcher yes
just give up all your utility for a chance to survive random explosive death lol
the real answer is more irish spam
imagine thinking we actually meant that
I said it as a joke
Even though its true
because good game design is making aps exist and doing nothing else
You bitch about it a lot so I personally will think it's a good choice for you
simply take rao and disable their gadget usage
wait no he cant even do that can he
sorry i forgot how shit he was
man you know what I miss
Hes a recon saying hes shit is redundant
being able to talk about anything besides the SPH and Zain
because its all you two EVER talk about
i talk about irish more than those two
like holy fuck deal with it
way more!
Ive seen a massive drop in spawn beacons since they made em recon exclusive
you just get irritated by this more because you use it more than vehicles so you take it personally
Idk, I see em everywhere now
beacons are getting used more often but breaking more often
Still see em, just less
no more beacons hidden in bushes all round etc
I don't actually but nice try at projectionpilling
lots of people dont know beacons break so they slap them down once miles away from fights and then forget it exists
i forgot that simply shutting up about problems makes them go away, like mouse input
just deal with it bro
I once saw like 4 beacons behind a barricade shot 3 at once
idk why people complaining about other people complaining say just deal with it
like why not follow your own advice
perhaps thats the logic it takes to play 2042
because unlike you two, talking about it here is actually gonna do something
And no one else is saying it
make us more annoying?
damn still with the mouse input? Homie just buy a new mouse
i dont think complaining about balance in 2042 has any impact on them making the game worse, they're doing that well enough by themselves
On this note, somewhat related, I see a ton more random repairs from engineers on the ground ever since it became a free gadget
im not sure telling someone to just deal with it has done anything other than make them more annoying, like, ever
I think the thing that actually annoys me is that you two talk about it like its some profound thing
I hate having myself show up as a repair source for tanks cause then the morons snipe next to me
not a very hard counter to annoying complaints im afraid
Something tells me you'd enjoy being a gunner for me
better than ignoring it. Isn't that your logic?
press the teamwork button znath
ah yes it's a hardware problem when bf4 and bf1 work fine but i have to use a/d to adjust on far targets in 2042 since i'm apparently now playing with a joystick deadzone
let me rephrase. Something tells me we'd enjoy playing together
well, no, like i just said, the chances of it making us complain more are significantly higher than anything else
while our complaints have no effect on anything dice do to the game
I've literally never heard of anyone having that problem, dude. Please for the love of god check your software
apart from when totalfps replied to me complaining to confirm they needed more time to balance APS because a year wasn't enough
that was great
it was complained about for MONTHS at launch before all the half decent players left the game
Nerf advancys and scar
I guess. I think I'm just sick and tired of seeing the same thing discussed over and over again
it was a thousand times worse during bfv
At launch? Dude that was a whole year ago now.
Which was eventually fixed, oh it was a definite problem then but it was reduced to almost nothing now
im actually kind of surprised the amount of people talking in here consistently is so low
Tell me about it dude. THAT was annoying.
"it was fixed" when? point to it
The only input issues I see is the auto nade throw not being instant
because it's still happening
i think his problem is that it isn't fixed a year later 
about half the things I say just kinda get rolled over, so it's not really surprising to me
avancy is worse than lcmg
