battlefield-2042

[spiral folio]

-hit them with the shield-

Oh no

[pine roost]

deflect the tank shell

[magic bloom]

They couldn’t shoot through my shield

[spiral folio]

BFF "its a tank"

[magic bloom]

He

Couldn’t

[spiral folio]

Thats so stupid

[magic bloom]

It’s funny

Cause I didn’t even kill it

I Just say their until I died to another player

[wide shore]

I watched snoop dogg get a truck stuck in a trench in the very first livestream they did for BF1

[spiral folio]

It should send you flying into the stratosphere. Bht dont worry you wont die

From the tank shot

[wide shore]

People get getting vehicles stuck in that game since before we could even play it.

[spiral folio]

Ride the shield back down through reentry

[wide shore]

Dozer is just really strong

[magic bloom]

He’s captain Mexico

[wide shore]

That’s why when he hits you once you’re dead

Bro got power

[magic bloom]

Have you seen his arms

Like Jesus Christ

[spiral folio]

Between the magic shield of 0 damage and the APS forcefield emitters

[pine roost]

is definitely the one behind the mask

[spiral folio]

Its like.. why dont we just make everything out of that shield

[magic bloom]

No one uses dozer so why does it matter

No one uses dozer effectively*

[spiral folio]

What happens if you make a tank shell out of a dozer shield and fire it at a dozer shield

[magic bloom]

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object

[next onyx]

So I might of just dodged radar rockets without flares.

But.

It's still sketchy.

[pine roost]

btw what modes are on today? I tried to get on yesterday but was so genuinely tired I almost fell over numerous times just walking around

[next onyx]

It's just Season BT.

And Exodus CQ.

[magic bloom]

Way do you need a gunner

[pine roost]

not bad

look forward to getting back into it today

got more missions to do so I could finally try out the new guns and stuff

[next onyx]

I'm fine. Upcoming game will be my last game but if you'd like to join you're welcome.

[pine roost]

can start implementing what catalyst and enders mentioned in their recent videos

[magic bloom]

If your getting off I’ll just wait til next time

[next onyx]

Oh that's fair.

I sent you an invite cause that.

But sure.

[magic bloom]

I’ve accepted it

[next onyx]

I intend to play until I earn one more Token.

[robust vapor]

The tow missile is hard to navigate

@.@

[spark rapids]

Day 4 of protesting until c5 is buffed

[spiral folio]

Make the tows short range tv guided missiles?

Since tows are antiques

[copper ice]

buffed?

[spark rapids]

Yes, just to completely counter helis

[next onyx]

Lol.

[copper ice]

you know what

i can get behind that

[pine roost]

increased explosive radius from 2m -> 400m

[spiral folio]

C5 needs to be AI guided and 200% damage

Also 179m range

I also like how his protest is when he remembers it he tells a few random people

[magic bloom]

Way eats toddlers

[spiral folio]

Standing in line to order lunch.
Look up from your phone to see the line move. Guy in the next line goes
"im protesting"

[next onyx]

That's me done for the night.

Thanks for popping in that last game.

And uh, Sorry for stealing your kills.

[magic bloom]

I killed three people

I Call That a Good Game

Why did it just capitalize every worse

[next onyx]

Who knows.

[arctic grove]

That’s A Good Game

[magic bloom]

But you didn’t steal my kills I was spending 80 percent of my time running behind you

[next onyx]

I guess. I did notice that I was firing at people you had just spotted.

[magic bloom]

That’s the point I was spotting them for you to shoot

I’m carrying an NTW you think I’m gonna be able to hit half of them

[next onyx]

Maybe!

My VC bugged out so I couldn't tell you to get out of the wildcat.

But I did destroy three crafts.

[magic bloom]

I was in a Party anyway i wouldn’t have been able to hear you

[next onyx]

Xbox party blocks out in game volume?

Ah.

Oh yeah it's always been like that.

[magic bloom]

Voice chat volume yes

[sharp marten]

Do the new portal weapons feel a little weird to anyone else like idk how to put it tbh

[spark rapids]

finally. Someone understands what im talking about

[elfin plank]

daily reminder that you do absolutely nothing when you get in a teammates tank and start shooting at air vehicles and tanks with the 50/minigun

except get your driver killed

[white sparrow]

aek is a beamer

little weird at first to get used to but its amazing for close to mid range

[magic bloom]

I’ll be sure to do it more with the flak guns

[elfin plank]

cant wait until they add private squads or a padlock to vehicles

[next onyx]

Lasers!

[magic bloom]

Yes lasers

[magic bloom]

Imagine they had locks for vehicles

[elfin plank]

it would be one major step in the right direction

[magic bloom]

I don’t think it’s a good thing personally

[elfin plank]

no more "teammates" spawning on you collecting drool in their helmets trying to shoot at nothing alerting everyone in the tristate area that youre in a tank and nearby

[magic bloom]

Your in a tank though

It’s kinda hard to not know your there

[elfin plank]

your point?

do you not realize that a tank can be used to flank? and not charge right in and die?

[magic bloom]

I’m aware but still

[elfin plank]

SOOO... it helps when you dont have some moron in your tank shooting everywhere

i dont understand how even on this point theres contention

[magic bloom]

I don’t either

Probably comes from different styles of play

[elfin plank]

maybe i guess, i like staying alive and doing stuff idk about you

[radiant prism]

It sounds like you're just getting mad because someone's not 100% agreeing with what you're saying lol

tbh

[magic bloom]

I stay alive perfectly fine

[radiant prism]

as much as that's annoying, tanks aren't exactly stealthy

[elfin plank]

they can be very stealthy

[magic bloom]

Like I said it’s probably just different styles of play

I use mine to keep other ground vehicles off the objectives

[elfin plank]

thats literally how youre supposed to use the tank.

especially in 2042 when infantry literally have tanks running for their lives

[magic bloom]

Your talking about flanking or my style

[elfin plank]

i wouldnt call it your style. taking out other vehicles so they cant harass your team on the points is how youre supposed to tank

[robust vapor]

t0nk

[elfin plank]

according to me atleast

[magic bloom]

I mean some people use them like big caliber snipers with HE shells

[elfin plank]

More like Sabot

[arctic grove]

there are 2 revolvers in the game

m44

and?

[radiant prism]

MP412 Rex

[arctic grove]

finally, someone that remembers

[radiant prism]

:)

[elfin plank]

the average player still thinks youre not playing the objective if you dont drive on the point with the tank and die immediately

[arctic grove]

[magic bloom]

The Rex is amazing

[radiant prism]

yeah

I like it way more than the M44

I can't stand that thing

[magic bloom]

They use a double action like a double action

[carmine rover]

the m44 is too good ..

[magic bloom]

I’m assuming you get told that in chat

[radiant prism]

MP412 is realistically more useful

[elfin plank]

m44 is the result of too many skilled players in bf4 and bf3 "abusing" the 44 magnum

thats why the m44 is a cucked scuffed version

[magic bloom]

The 44 mag was amazing

[fervent rose]

the avg player who spams shoot in turret just doesnt care

[radiant prism]

they have a big gun and they want to shoot it

[elfin plank]

with the missing chromosome i bet

[radiant prism]

nothing you can really do about that

[fervent rose]

and you're not likely to win those types over by ranting about it

they laugh and go haha shoot

[magic bloom]

I mean go crazy passenger just actually shoot people when they get close

[elfin plank]

false you can drive into the red zone

[magic bloom]

Once I shoot the tank once everyone knows I’m there anyway

[radiant prism]

yeah but they're always gonna just do it

can't change their nature

[fervent rose]

nothing can stop them

[elfin plank]

except they NEVER do that and you get c5'd by the guy that walks up to the tank LOL

[radiant prism]

casual players are like that

[fervent rose]

avg bf player is just as likely to grief you as help you

[carmine rover]

so true.

[elfin plank]

127v 1 conquest

[magic bloom]

That’s why you never stop going

[fervent rose]

even "good" players are a bunch of assholes lmao

[magic bloom]

They can’t C5 what they can’t get close to

[elfin plank]

yep thats me

i hate average players because they all grief or are mostly stupid

[limber orbit]

im not that big of an asshole

[arctic grove]

unless you're playing in a fnb

[fervent rose]

only griefing i support is angel crating snipers

[arctic grove]

the last friday one

you could YEET it

[elfin plank]

Youll still get revives from me

[magic bloom]

That’s absolutely hilarious to do

[radiant prism]

new bundle is kinda hilarious

tempted to buy it for the dozer MAV

[elfin plank]

sometimes ill even drive over to your dead body in a tank, smoke then revive you

[magic bloom]

The dozer MAV goes hard

[limber orbit]

i liked yeeting my C5 into the stratosphere

[arctic grove]

me too

also ammo boxes

[elfin plank]

but once that got my tank stolen by a hellen keller and got it killed so never again

[magic bloom]

If your driving a vehicle your just exempt from revives

[limber orbit]

and when you forget you yeet stuff and you casually throw a nade its gone

[elfin plank]

i feel bad when they start spamming the request revive thing

[fervent rose]

i do that for people that are helping me but not any random

[arctic grove]

indeed

[fervent rose]

too risky to get out for every revive

[carmine rover]

its screaming “pls put c5 on me 🥺🥺”

[magic bloom]

Although I once landed my night bird to revive one of my squad mates

[elfin plank]

bruh

[limber orbit]

the laughs that gave me lol

[radiant prism]

A little sad that theres no new character skins

Since thats what I usually buy

So I probably wont get this bundle

But

[elfin plank]

the real chads are ppl who see you in a tank and spawn in as irish and stick to you like white on rice

[radiant prism]

Its still funny

[cosmic sequoia]

Nerf the super hind and night bird

[radiant prism]

woah woah, didn't realize it was unpopular opinion hour

[fervent rose]

dont leave out the condor

[radiant prism]

the nightbird has been nerfed so many times though

[cosmic sequoia]

:>

[fervent rose]

fuck the condor too

[arctic grove]

I once launched a molotov into when backing up, got 2 kills with it after 3 minutes

[elfin plank]

no just make the tank shells and all wildcatt rounds (not 30mm) do more damage

[magic bloom]

The night bird is fine where it is now

[cosmic sequoia]

Hey I’m on board

Fuck the condor

[fervent rose]

they are likely to only nerf hind

[radiant prism]

Condor is fine

Hind needs to be slower

[fervent rose]

just dice things

[cosmic sequoia]

No it’s more op than any of the other helicopters lmao

[limber orbit]

lol

[radiant prism]

That would fix everything

[elfin plank]

neither condor or hind is fine LOL

[fervent rose]

Condor isn't fine, the good pilots farm hard on either one

it makes very little difference

[cosmic sequoia]

The night bird rails every other helicopter

Even jets

It’s not balanced

[magic bloom]

No)

[elfin plank]

thats... true

lmao

[cosmic sequoia]

• you can have repair guys

[radiant prism]

If you're getting shot down by a nightbird in a jet you're just bad, Im sorry

[cosmic sequoia]

That’s not true lmao

It’s not hard to do

[radiant prism]

I've flown plenty of jets

[elfin plank]

so if ashebf kills you in the nightbird while youre in a jet youre still just not good?

[radiant prism]

Nightbirds are easy prey, even the sweaty ones

[magic bloom]

Using the nightbird for killing = lame using it like a mini transport heli

[arctic grove]

what do you guys think is the best map/your favourite one?

mine's kaleidoscope

[radiant prism]

Maybe its just me though

Idk

[magic bloom]

Exposure or orbital

[fervent rose]

spearhead

[carmine rover]

ntw destroys night birds

[cosmic sequoia]

The most effective attack chopper to kill jets tho

Fs

[elfin plank]

mines DISCARDED because i love the open fields and the sweaty hot weather

[cosmic sequoia]

Discarded needs to be discarded

[elfin plank]

and all the dirt

[radiant prism]

Honestly I had a harder time shooting down stealth helis

[fervent rose]

i enjoyed original exposure breakthrough a lot. now i think its a miserable bt map

[arctic grove]

I like it too

although it kind of forces the use of long range weapons

[cosmic sequoia]

A harder time - sure. But a stealth heli isn’t going to turn around and pop you if you aren’t paying attnention

[magic bloom]

Buff the Apache

[radiant prism]

Put 30mm on your jet and you will absolutely slap a nightbird

[elfin plank]

i really like discarded tho look at all those cranes fopr people to camp on for 45 mins

[cosmic sequoia]

AMEN

[arctic grove]

still fun though

[cosmic sequoia]

the Apache and hokum need buffs

So fucking bad

[carmine rover]

i wish sunken stadium on hourglass would be used more in gamemodes . its such a cool area but can only play it in conq 128 😢

[limber orbit]

easy kills 👌

[cosmic sequoia]

Why does the Apache still not have a 30mm main weapon

[elfin plank]

i dont like choppers but i cant ignore this... this is true lmao

[magic bloom]

Cause dice hates us Apache users

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah basically

[elfin plank]

it does but its the cucked version

[cosmic sequoia]

No new equipment, they’re slow as fuck

I don’t think it does

[magic bloom]

For the pilot they don’t have one

[fervent rose]

the heli vehicle design is just not right all over

[arctic grove]

I personally think that air vehicles are fine as they are

[cosmic sequoia]

The hokum has a 30mm but the Apache doesn’t

For whatever ducking reason

[arctic grove]

annoying but not the most dangerous threat

[magic bloom]

The Apache has it only for the co pilot and the hokum had it for both

[cosmic sequoia]

This

[magic bloom]

The only saving grace for the apache and hokum is the 127 mm rockets

[arctic grove]

and the flares

[elfin plank]

lets not get distracted here

[arctic grove]

honestly

[carmine rover]

thr most dangerous threat are teammates .. i feel like they intentionally throw the game or just incredibly braindead

[elfin plank]

nerf the fucking hind and condor

[cosmic sequoia]

Landing the 127mm rockets on any moving air vehicle is so difficult lmao

Mainly the hind

[elfin plank]

the most truest statement ive ever read in here

[limber orbit]

they shouldnt have teh 50mm

[magic bloom]

Just reduce the health on both and nerf the hinds speed

[arctic grove]

why does flares make you invulnerable to lock on even 5 seconds after they wore out??

[fervent rose]

hind and condor shouldnt have splash damage explosives, end of story

[elfin plank]

negative let ground vehicles deal more damage to them

[cosmic sequoia]

They don’t “wear out” you realize they’re still popping flares?

[radiant prism]

Heres the thing

[fervent rose]

just like jeeps shouldnt have 30/50 either

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah too much strong shit

[arctic grove]

after the flares visually disappear the effect of no lock on is still active

[elfin plank]

dice confused transport with attack heli and the attack heli with transport LMAO

[magic bloom]

That works as well but the health on them is what’s the main issue

[fervent rose]

this game has too much overtuned all over. explosive spam is way too high

[cosmic sequoia]

Jeeps shouldn’t have 30/50… condor/hind shouldn’t have front cannon and as much health…

[radiant prism]

People are so focused on using lockons that they forget dumb fire weapons exist and are really powerful

[magic bloom]

And the ability to have two repair bots

[arctic grove]

sadly yes

[fervent rose]

game was more fun before zain/sph

[magic bloom]

M5 fucks

[cosmic sequoia]

For like 2 seconds, yes.

[fervent rose]

but even then the vehicle transports were still broken

[elfin plank]

right so if your rounds deal more damage they would have to think twice about hovering 10ft off the ground and farming 100+ morons sitting still and letting them selves get farmed

[arctic grove]

only lobbed projectiles and t28/m1a5 should have great explosive capabilities

[arctic grove]

that's more than neccesary to escape

[magic bloom]

The pre nerf 50mm still haunts me

[arctic grove]

it's honestly frustating

[cosmic sequoia]

You have no idea what you’re talking about

[carmine rover]

make it like hardline . give no heli explosives

problem solved

[elfin plank]

hes new let him... try i guess..

[arctic grove]

you can't cover the same area as a heli

[magic bloom]

Exactly you see in the trailers the condors getting hit with one rocket and crashing but in the game they’re flying tanks

[arctic grove]

it's impossible unless using other fast vehicles

[fervent rose]

also the wildcat shouldn't have a 60mm mortar, just another odd overtuned vehicle thing

[elfin plank]

no

just stop there

[magic bloom]

I mean 3 rockets to kill and no explosives would make me happy with the transports

[fervent rose]

why should the mobile aa have so much anti ground power

[arctic grove]

yeah, 3 rockets should kill light armor vehicles

[cosmic sequoia]

Hahaha. Yeah like I hardly play infantry, so I don’t pipe in when people are talking about gun balancing…. But everyone is a vehicle expert

[arctic grove]

heavy armor can stay at 4

[magic bloom]

No?

[elfin plank]

ground vehicles vs infantry is already bad enough dont make it worse

[elfin plank]

BRUH LMAO SO TRUE

they guy going 5-18 is telling MMEEEE how to tank???

[magic bloom]

The only ground vehicles that stand a chance against infantry is the CAV and RAM

[elfin plank]

who tf does he think he is???

[arctic grove]

I never ever used a tank, and I got almost 30 kills in my first try

[elfin plank]

and hes not the only one, its like a trend in all bfs

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s always the people you can’t even see on the scoreboard

[elfin plank]

LMAOOO

[arctic grove]

goes to show how, in some maps, vehicles are unbalanced

[cosmic sequoia]

Vehicles are unbalanced in every map

As long as the Russian super hind exists

[fervent rose]

on attack tanks are basically invincible if you run Irish

[cosmic sequoia]

I will die on this hill

[elfin plank]

im not talking about sitting in the back

[fervent rose]

but ppl say mbt is bad lmao

[arctic grove]

in some more than other

[cosmic sequoia]

Hardly

[arctic grove]

I was being extremely agressive

[elfin plank]

im talking about actively trying to play and ptfo

[arctic grove]

not sitting in spawn

I'm not an asshole

[magic bloom]

Listen I’m just an armored transport driver I have to deal with shitty gunners all the time

[arctic grove]

I like taking the spotter place

[magic bloom]

The CAV and ram is the only ground vehicles you can realistically fight in

[elfin plank]

you must be on console or something because when i kill like 3 mfs in the tank the whole chinese army comes out and i see lis missiles c5 jihads rockets and the whole nine yards come and specifically try to hunt ME down

[frosty mural]

There's a lowlife player who goes 85-3 in a hind while 63 other players watch

It's disgusting

[magic bloom]

Ah the lissles my favorite part of the game

[arctic grove]

you're like that ghost writer, you never get the merit, but you know you did a good job

[limber orbit]

man whenever i try to support inf and ptfo in a tank every engineer and their mother pulls out their M5 and everyone else just hones in on you with C5 i have 0 luck in tanks

[arctic grove]

well yeah

[elfin plank]

CAV actually sucks ass. and the ram is hilariously overpowered af

[arctic grove]

it was console

but I can't afford bf2042

[magic bloom]

I Love the CAV it’s good

[arctic grove]

I only have it for the ps plus offer

[elfin plank]

rounds from the main gun still go left and right depending if the driver is turning,.,,

[fervent rose]

yea that thing is busted

[limber orbit]

it even does that in gunner seats on tanks

[magic bloom]

That’s why I always stop

Give my randos the best chance possible

[elfin plank]

console lobbies are easy farm until it gets to infantry then their super aim assist kicks in

[fervent rose]

i wish they wouldnt release things that are clearly not working

[limber orbit]

and reduced recoil

[arctic grove]

aim assist is not busted you know

[elfin plank]

that amount of aim assist is tho

[arctic grove]

I've been playing on console for 6 years, and the only game with a bad game assist (unbalanced) was a pve game

[elfin plank]

every console gameplay vid i see the perspective looks stiff af

[limber orbit]

something about controllers having busted aim snap or something too

[magic bloom]

It’s worse than you think…

[elfin plank]

LOL

[magic bloom]

The aim assist is so overtuned

[cosmic sequoia]

Imagine playing a shooter with your thumbs

[magic bloom]

Imagine

[cosmic sequoia]

Couldn’t be me

[magic bloom]

Fr couldn’t be me either

I Play it with my eyes

[elfin plank]

when i see those videos i just imagine grandma playing for the first time trying to figure how to look and move at the same time and having trouble

[limber orbit]

i use my toes

[cosmic sequoia]

Balls for me, personally

[limber orbit]

sick bro

[magic bloom]

You gotta teach me that one

[arctic grove]

100% of the people I see saying that haven't played on console for more than a week

[cosmic sequoia]

Want to borrow my controller?

Lmao

[magic bloom]

Ye

[elfin plank]

were you just in the new mode?

[magic bloom]

No

I’ve been off for like an hour

[elfin plank]

oh similar name then

[limber orbit]

it wouldnt surprise me if it was real but the reduced recoil is dumb

[elfin plank]

oh i have one more protip to say to the masses

[magic bloom]

The recoil reduction thing was fucking weird

[arctic grove]

yeah you're right on that

[magic bloom]

The guns had no recoil to begin with

[arctic grove]

but controlling recoil in mouse is not hard either

[limber orbit]

nope

[elfin plank]

when you shoot AR's... the tracers you see flying everywhere mean nothing... its just visual

[fervent rose]

this game's gunplay is way too easy across the board

[arctic grove]

I think that a reduced recoil is fine at some extent

[limber orbit]

nah

[arctic grove]

depends on weapon of choice

scar? yes, easy
vcar? no

[magic bloom]

I think that default recoil was better it fucked my aim when they changed it

[fervent rose]

the ttk is just so fast at extreme ranges

[elfin plank]

so if you have a sight on and youre shooting just keep the reticle on target and shoot. ignore the tracers its just visual dispersion

[spiral folio]

Whats extreme

[fervent rose]

for bf? anything like 60+

[spiral folio]

2000m?

[magic bloom]

Actually I use an LMG on angel so accuracy by sheer volume of fire

[fervent rose]

the avg engagement range is supposed to be small in this game

[spiral folio]

So... almost to medium range is extreme

[magic bloom]

Aint Even gotta ADS

[elfin plank]

ive killed people in a quick burst with the m16a3 at 200m

consistently

[fervent rose]

in bf, 60+ isnt medium range. only in 2042

[magic bloom]

The M16 goes extremely hard

[carmine rover]

is the difference rlly that good .. woh

[spiral folio]

You literally wont pass an army range test if you cant make a 60m shot

[fervent rose]

okay and for the millionth time its a videogame

[magic bloom]

No I’m just shooting 100 rounds at some poor person so they’re bound to get hit eventually

[spiral folio]

Yes and thats also a nad argument

[elfin plank]

too bad the m416 sucks donkey dick

[cyan sundial]

Does anyone know the bullet velocity on the Gol Magnum?

[spiral folio]

69m is not far

[magic bloom]

It used to be really good

[fervent rose]

okay well you can full strafe beam people at 100m

[elfin plank]

when?

in a different game lmao?

[magic bloom]

When it first released

[next onyx]

M416 hasn't changed much?

The m416 is so easy to use at a range.

[elfin plank]

its dog water now lmao

[limpid pond]

69m to all those Americans is 226 feet

[elfin plank]

bullet velocity is so so so slow

[magic bloom]

Thank you dread

[limpid pond]

It's not far at all

[fervent rose]

ARs and LMGs have way too much distance, you don't need to account for any bursting mechanics, its just hold down the button and things die

[spiral folio]

You should be able to hit a target with a musket to 100m

[fervent rose]

such a boring system

[limpid pond]

This is pretty accurate

[elfin plank]

thank goodness the average player will never figure that out

[magic bloom]

I Just use the 880 when I get bored

I double pump people in battlefield cause the 880 and super shorty combo goes extremely hard

[limpid pond]

2042 probably has the biggest skill gap out of all battlefields. You either have the average player who can drop. 20 kills. The very skilled player that average 50 or the shitty player that goes negative somehow

[elfin plank]

idk how you use the shotguns

they suck

[next onyx]

901 kills left with the Rm277.

[limber orbit]

for what way?

[elfin plank]

i weep thinking about how far pumpshotguns have fallen

bf3 spas 12

[limber orbit]

STOP slow down

[spiral folio]

Id put ranges as like
CQC 0-5
Close range 5-30m
Medium range 30-100
Long range 100-200
Very long range 200-400
Xtreme range 400+

[limpid pond]

Way I though you would have been done already

[fervent rose]

nah this game's gunplay has no skillgap. but the clunky movement and navigating these wack maps? definitely

[elfin plank]

the average player CANNOT drop 20 kills lmao

more like 5 or 2

[magic bloom]

We’re you supposed to go to bed

[spiral folio]

Medium to 100 cause zain

[arctic grove]

Ok I was thinking and I think that I’ve come up with a great balancing idea

[magic bloom]

Me out here dropping 80+ good revives (not letting them die instantly)

[next onyx]

10K RM277.

[limpid pond]

Well I didn't say the gunplay to be fair. Most people suck that's why average is 20 kills

[next onyx]

I'm just compiling my clips.

[spiral folio]

Tonyhawks Xtreme proranger 1000m+

[elfin plank]

i cant tell you how many boris's or sundances ive seen literally do nothing all game and attain something like 4-18 across like 40 players

[magic bloom]

That’s Boris and Sundance

That’s just typical

[elfin plank]

oh casper too

[limber orbit]

i like shooting down the flying squirrel

[elfin plank]

and rao

forgot them

[magic bloom]

Rao and Casper are my favorite recon

[limpid pond]

I'm almost 10k with the ac9

[spiral folio]

I beaned some squirrel girl flying right at me once

[magic bloom]

Out here dropping like 35 kills a game 👍

[limpid pond]

Just don't lay every day due to work

[limber orbit]

my lord you should deff be sleeping now

[spiral folio]

Pretty far

[elfin plank]

they can be good. but not the average smooth brain playing them

[next onyx]

That's always been a thing in battlefield.

[limpid pond]

At least you're above the average. I'm sitting at 50+

[magic bloom]

Rao was the best recon before the class changes

[arctic grove]

Increase the damage fall off universally, same for bullet speed, decrease the dm4’s headshot multiplier and make light vehicles die to 3 rockets

[elfin plank]

no

[magic bloom]

Take a shower (jk)

[limber orbit]

its dread

[limpid pond]

I take showers every night after work

It is me

[limber orbit]

he is the sweat

[magic bloom]

It’s my fellow Xbox player dread

Chad activities

[limpid pond]

I am the sweat

[limber orbit]

THE sweat

[next onyx]

Can't sweat when the room is fucking freezing.

[arctic grove]

What you guys think?

[magic bloom]

Me rn

[limpid pond]

The sweat 90% of pc players can't beat due to being on crack

Way is 100% correct

[arctic grove]

I play on console

[elfin plank]

i get laser beamed more by console players then i ever do pc players

[limpid pond]

It's currently 52° in my room

[elfin plank]

yet console players are some of the easiest kills you can get

because they move so slow

[fervent rose]

i do see some funny 150m+ kills from console full autos

[magic bloom]

Imagine

[arctic grove]

That’s why my changes are well thought

[limpid pond]

I am 9n battlefield but not playing lol

[arctic grove]

Dying to a guy 200 meters from you is annoying

[magic bloom]

Who needs movement when I have great aim

[limpid pond]

Most of the time it's the luckiest shit you'll see.

Almost every console player is ass

[arctic grove]

Who needs skill when I have idiotism?

[elfin plank]

luck? or aim assist?

[limpid pond]

Like they're braindead

[arctic grove]

Cry about it

[limpid pond]

Who's crying

[spiral folio]

I wish all chat was on so i could see the screams from people at like 400m

[arctic grove]

Console needs those perks to even be at pair with pc players

[arctic grove]

Lol

[magic bloom]

The aim assist is overtuned

[limpid pond]

Bruh what?? I'm on 0 zoom snap and 39 aim assist and piss on pc players for fun

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[elfin plank]

they need aim assist. but they dont need all the aim assist lmao

[spiral folio]

Or the reaction from the guy at 1000 in the condor

[magic bloom]

People know that console needs aim assist but it doesn’t need to be this over tuned

[fervent rose]

i see a lot more crying about crossplay including pc than i see ppl complain about aim assist

and i think 2042 is more balanced than other crossplay games

[arctic grove]

Me too

[limpid pond]

I think it's more cross play due to system limitations

[magic bloom]

A PC player that gets it omg

[elfin plank]

thank you

[arctic grove]

Aim assist should be tweeked yes

[spiral folio]

I kinda figure console people mostly do close range anyway so it doesnt really affect me?

[arctic grove]

But saying that it makes console brainless it’s stupid

[magic bloom]

Although the extreme hacks for reviving are nice

[eager spire]

i mean it kind of does.

[arctic grove]

At close ranges aim assist doesn’t impact much

[eager spire]

certainly not as much going on

[arctic grove]

It should be nerfed at longer ranges

[limpid pond]

Tbf when I tried aim assist the beginning of this season like I do with every update. The cqb aim assist fucked me up

[arctic grove]

[limpid pond]

You get like aim assist leakage if two people are together

[magic bloom]

The CQB aim assist throws you all over the place

[limpid pond]

So you hit nothing

[arctic grove]

Yeah

[magic bloom]

It’s better to just hip fire

[fervent rose]

they have advantages at range too in some ways

[limpid pond]

That's why I stick to just 39 aim assist

[arctic grove]

You end up doing 10 damage to each

[fervent rose]

but considering 2042's minimal recoil to begin with that isnt a huge difference

[arctic grove]

I have the default configs

[limpid pond]

No pull but no over shooting

[spiral folio]

Is it automagically calculating drop for them or something?

[elfin plank]

thats why i like rushing console players and barrel snuffing them with my m16a3 and blowing their brains all over the place

[fervent rose]

-33% horizontal recoil

[limpid pond]

Default configuration is 100 zoom and 100 aa

[fervent rose]

just makes long shots easy

[arctic grove]

Not at all

[pastel loom]

imo it should be disabled when crossplay is off
no reason to use when pc isn't around

[tranquil inlet]

question

[magic bloom]

I’ll barrel stuff you back with my shotgun

[eager spire]

2042 has minimal recoil but controller has even less recoil than what little recoil 2042 has.

[tranquil inlet]

can i get the A-10C Thunderbolt II in 2042? If so, how?

[spiral folio]

Then i mean it doesnt reallyy affect me

[magic bloom]

Portal

[eager spire]

like i feel like if DICE removed the recoil reductions on Controller people would barely notice

[spiral folio]

By 2042 the last A10 was decommissioned

[elfin plank]

my movement is too fast tho. i can just jump and spin around you in like half a second

[magic bloom]

You literally wouldn’t notice

[fervent rose]

a 33% increase over night? ppl would notice

[spiral folio]

Theyll be recommisioned in 2045

[eager spire]

With how little recoil this game has? Not sure about that.

[magic bloom]

That’s cool and all but shotgun

[arctic grove]

They would with constant firing

[fervent rose]

a lot would just be like "damn i suck today" but people would feel something off

[arctic grove]

Tap firing helps with that

[elfin plank]

youd still have to catch me

[limpid pond]

Eh only with lmgs

[magic bloom]

I can catch you

[elfin plank]

doubt

[spiral folio]

Stealth updated A10 with active camo

[next onyx]

uwu

[limpid pond]

Owo

[magic bloom]

I’m not the 40 year old dad in his basement

[cosmic sequoia]

That’s me

[arctic grove]

Don’t act cocky

[elfin plank]

im not the triple chromosome sped kid. trust me im fast

[magic bloom]

As it should be king

[cosmic sequoia]

🤴

[arctic grove]

Movement isn’t as broken as it is in let’s say super animal royale

[limpid pond]

You play na east?

[spiral folio]

All they hear is the Bbbrrrrrrrrrrt
And then see the sky ripple as it blasts overhead
And then the survivors are lasered with the rear laser

[limpid pond]

Pretty sure I recognize your name

[elfin plank]

you can still slide jump slide and spin

pretty fast to the untrained

[magic bloom]

That’s just an advantage pc will always have

[fervent rose]

the sliding and the jumping are fine. but this game's basic WASD movement is just off

bfv felt so much better

[elfin plank]

vaulting is still revolting

[arctic grove]

Yeah but it isn’t something that will help you a 100% of the time

[magic bloom]

I watched way revive me and do a 360 almost instantly

[elfin plank]

like how is the basic vault so damn jarring still in 2023

[arctic grove]

It helps more when avoiding fire at longer ranges

[elfin plank]

yeahhhh no

[arctic grove]

Lol

[magic bloom]

I’m still wondering what happened to me in this game

I used to be insane

[cosmic sequoia]

Oops yes

[arctic grove]

You got gamed

[magic bloom]

Fr dice cucked me

[arctic grove]

Gamed

[elfin plank]

not as bad as when dice cucked tanks

[spiral folio]

I had this guy run from me once off a cliff i would have missed him if he hadnt jumped when he went over

[arctic grove]

lol

[fervent rose]

tank is free farm ever since air vehicle removal in breakthrough

[limpid pond]

Yeah I think I remember you from a game on kaleidoscope. Rest your soul

[magic bloom]

Tanks on Bt are just fun

[fervent rose]

defense tanks get rolled though

but attack tank? free farm

[magic bloom]

In the end it’s about having fun not score

[elfin plank]

shell velocity is the slowest its ever been across all bfs and the mobility is so sad its not even worth bringing up

thats why tanks are free kills to a determined infantry player

[arctic grove]

That is what tanks are supposed to be

[fervent rose]

HE shell takes a tiny, modicum of effort

[arctic grove]

Great defense tools

[fervent rose]

they have crazy splash

[next onyx]

HE shells are cancer.

[magic bloom]

Mpat is where the real tankers are

[cosmic sequoia]

@limpid pond im@the guy always complaining about the super hind and how people take the attack choppers only to crash

[spiral folio]

They should have minis and attack choppers in BT again

[elfin plank]

Modern mbts are the pinnacle of fire power mobility and armor

[fervent rose]

HE shell TOW Rocket Pod

[spiral folio]

The stealth can in fact go to hell though

[cosmic sequoia]

Not in 2042, that’s for sure hahaha

[elfin plank]

abrams being a good example of that trio... i mean ffs the abrams can literally drift

[fervent rose]

but you should definitely run mpat on defense

[arctic grove]

Opinions on wild cat?

[elfin plank]

sucks if youre not running 30mm

hard to use if you use anything else

[arctic grove]

[magic bloom]

Most modern tanks can drift but it also fucks the tracks

[elfin plank]

source? (tier 1)

[elfin plank]

yeah and most people think tanks are fine lmao

[arctic grove]

The AA guns should be able to also lock on vehicles

I think

[magic bloom]

No

[arctic grove]

The rockets is pretty much useless

[spiral folio]

Modern tanks can also bean an enemy target from 2 miles away at full speed cross country.

[arctic grove]

[spiral folio]

At night

[fervent rose]

2042 tanks are fine. if you have a full crew they are way overtuned tbh

[arctic grove]

🫘

[elfin plank]

that is also true

[next onyx]

The irony is that the tanks CAN do something but they're so easily checked really whatever.

[fervent rose]

but if they got rid of the dumb irish thing, they could buff tank mobility

[elfin plank]

full crew? you mean half of the special ed department that WILL let the enemy run up on you and run your shit??

yeah no thanks

[magic bloom]

the Abrams irl Is extremely fast

[spiral folio]

Instead you get the "5 hits to kill fluffball tank for kids"

[magic bloom]

We need actual IFV’s to come to the game

[fervent rose]

@elfin plank i normally have nobody in the tank so i am just saying in the event that you do have a crew of competent players the tanks are wildly overtuned

the mortar itself is busted

[spiral folio]

Yea battlefields armored combat leaves much to be desired

[arctic grove]

jaja yes

I hate it when the crew is more busy acting as AA rather than checking for people trying to c5

[magic bloom]

Like the CAV is kind of an IFV but we need one where the driver controls the turret

[elfin plank]

i hate it when people say busted or op when it comes to tank equipment... like do you want the mortar to be nerfed like how the prebuff 4 volley grenades were?

useless??

[magic bloom]

You could literally just reskin the Bradley from portal and it would be good

[fervent rose]

you dont need that mortar to exist at all

its a 3rd seat equipment

[spiral folio]

Think the bradley replacement program juuust started

[elfin plank]

literally what i was bitching about when i came in here.. mfs thinking the fucking 50 cal can damage tanks

[magic bloom]

I think so but idk what they’ll replace it with

[spiral folio]

But it matches 2042s method of using ancient weapons

[arctic grove]

lol

[elfin plank]

keeps jihads off of me when i have a competent player in my tank

[arctic grove]

yesterday I was using an m1a5, and the crew spent 10 minutes trying to hit a nightbird

[cosmic sequoia]

The tanks are such a downgrade from 5. If I want to play tanks, I just play 5. So much better.

[elfin plank]

really? personally i couldnt get into 5 tanks

bf4 is where its at for me

[magic bloom]

I mean it’s explained in the lore tho so that’s cool

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh yeah. They feel like actual tanks

[magic bloom]

Bf4 tanking was quite fun

[elfin plank]

mhmm

[fervent rose]

tanks were way better in bf5

[cosmic sequoia]

Rolling through buildings. Crushing Sherman’s with the TIGA

[arctic grove]

yeah

they were BUSTED AF

[elfin plank]

i have 300 service stars in the AA in bf4

200 in tanks

[fervent rose]

tanks in bf4 are hilariously easy mode with those thermals

[elfin plank]

2042 needs thermals on tanks

[spiral folio]

I mean we have better weapons today than they use in 2042. Lore nothin nobody will be using TOWs by 2030 let alone 42

[fervent rose]

no they dont lmao

[elfin plank]

yes they do

[magic bloom]

It’s sad they cucked the Sherman like that

[arctic grove]

well I gotta sleep cuz math class

[fervent rose]

i have no issue seeing ppl when i tank

[arctic grove]

see you later

[fervent rose]

that isnt a problem

[elfin plank]

theyre modern tanks not horse drawn carriages with an archer in the back

[next onyx]

Vehicle thermals are generally easy mode.

[fervent rose]

they are getting thermals btw, they just dont need them

[cosmic sequoia]

😛 they were being somewhat realistic I guess… I mean the sherman could beat a tiger, just takes brains

[fervent rose]

i hope its a cooldown

[cosmic sequoia]

The tanks need more fucking health

And more abilities

[elfin plank]

tanks need to be faster

[cosmic sequoia]

Like holy shit

[next onyx]

Just have the thermals usable within <40 to 50m so you can't just snipe with thermal.

[elfin plank]

maybe not faster but more agile

[magic bloom]

I forget was the Sherman in 5 the long barreled Sherman or the smaller one

[cosmic sequoia]

5 had a whole list of perks you could put on

[elfin plank]

ffs

[spiral folio]

Might as well be horse drawn carriages using a mbt with no weapon stabilization, no tracking, nothing

[fervent rose]

tank acceleration should def be higher

[next onyx]

Literally talk to a tanker main and ask them what colour the fucking tree is while in a tank.

[cosmic sequoia]

The Sherman was the American short barreled tank. You could put a 76mm on it and it could beat a tiger

[elfin plank]

i am that tanker main

200 stars bryuh

[magic bloom]

Ok good to know they had the long boi Sherman too

[next onyx]

The sherman in bf5 with the 76mm needs HEAT to do anything to a tiger.

[elfin plank]

dice doesnt understand what heat shells are lmao

[next onyx]

And even so it uses the medium tank damage model.

[cosmic sequoia]

Or you just sneak up behind it

[next onyx]

You do that with any medium.

[magic bloom]

Heat shells are just…

Complex

[elfin plank]

heat is for light armor and inf and sabot is for vehicles

[hidden lantern]

high explosive anti tank

[fervent rose]

tank balance went to shit ever since introduction of pacific tbh

[hidden lantern]

nothing complicated about em

[fervent rose]

bfv had great tank balance prior to that

[next onyx]

Pacific tanking was crazy.

[cosmic sequoia]

You can also put a 20% speed buff on the Sherman with some of the perks, and it is faster than the tigers turret rotation speed

[fervent rose]

and the pacific tanking for the first month was COMPLETELY sherman dominated

[magic bloom]

HEAT and HE are different

[next onyx]

It's faster than the tiger because it's a medium.

[magic bloom]

HEAT is meant for other tanks HE is meant for light vehicles

[next onyx]

By virtue of its class.

[elfin plank]

remember tank destroyers in bf3??? those mfs were monsters

[cosmic sequoia]

Obviously

[spiral folio]

Heat is for thick armor that you can get a solid hit on

[elfin plank]

we need them

[placid echo]

Meanwhile Heat one to two shot any American tanks lol

[cosmic sequoia]

But what I’m saying is the turret rotation speed

If you put the 20% speed buff on the Sherman, you could run circles around a tiger

Fucking nuts

[elfin plank]

turret rotation speed sucks donkey dick water in 2042

[next onyx]

Tiger HEAT was its own special fucked.

[cosmic sequoia]

Turret depression sucks ass

[elfin plank]

why is that realistic on the tank but nothing else

[cosmic sequoia]

That’s my biggest complaint

People can just run around your barrel

[next onyx]

44 min to a medium, 60+ on a crit. Instant on their engine.

[cosmic sequoia]

Because you can’t fucking aim low enough

[fervent rose]

you have to spin your tank to look down.

mad annoying

[next onyx]

HEAT will instantly kill a light on ANY crit.

[fervent rose]

but you can look down to your sides

[elfin plank]

hell i dont even think the turret rotation speed is realistic isnt the turret speed irl on the abrams somewhat fast?

[magic bloom]

I mean that’s how it is normally

[cosmic sequoia]

Yes

Lmao

Tanks are just garbage

[elfin plank]

thats crazy lmao

[magic bloom]

Cause the gun actually look over the side of the tank without hitting anything

[elfin plank]

dice really hates tanks and jets

[cosmic sequoia]

Thank the blueberries who cried literal tears on launch

[fervent rose]

the tanks, as garbage as they are, are still free farm on breakthrough

[elfin plank]

Yo

you know what i really hate??

[fervent rose]

like they dont need to be agile to be op

[magic bloom]

What

If tanks were realistic in BF they’d be extremely op

[elfin plank]

when you third person in the tank next to cover then go back into first person and your barrel is in sky high

so you have to manually reset

[cosmic sequoia]

Mint

[fervent rose]

black screen bug is my fav

[elfin plank]

^^^

[cosmic sequoia]

Insane

[elfin plank]

STILL IN THE GAME AND NOT ADDRESSED LMAO

[cosmic sequoia]

Triple A company

[fervent rose]

thats like 3 games old right

[cosmic sequoia]

It’s been there since 5

[next onyx]

Oh yo, Were you aware how fucked the churchill crocodile was?

[magic bloom]

Mine is the visual glitch where it looks like space and time is being cracked

[fervent rose]

was black screen in bf4

i know its in bf1

[cosmic sequoia]

Thing was insane

[magic bloom]

Wasn’t that the flamethrower tank

[cosmic sequoia]

Yes

[spiral folio]

Tungsten scattershot round a flag
"Flag cleared"

[magic bloom]

I Never got to play BF5

[fervent rose]

churchill croc was such a pain in the ass to drive though

[cosmic sequoia]

You should

[magic bloom]

Yep

[cosmic sequoia]

5 is such a great game

[placid echo]

Planes were also a bit fucky on V. A few times I've destroyed two tanks in one pass. One point I destroyed two TIGERs in one pass lol

[elfin plank]

you know i have to keep clearing my game cache everytime i launch otherwise i cant switch weapons in the tank with 1 and 2 and can only use the scroll wheel AND itll switch weapons randomly

[magic bloom]

Is it even still alive on console

[elfin plank]

alot

[cosmic sequoia]

Oh idk about console

[next onyx]

Crocodile wasn't too obnoxious but it was just the rando blowign the flamethrower.

[tranquil inlet]

i tried the portal but the A-10 wasnt there when i clicked on play BF3

[prisma lance]

do you guys sometimes get stuck with knife in your hand and can't switch to other weapons? to reset this you need to die and respawn

[spiral folio]

A mildly adequate pilot in bf5 could clear any and every AA emplacement without trying

[magic bloom]

Depleted uranium rounds coming to 2042 when?

[elfin plank]

never

[magic bloom]

I wanna pen the tank and have the damn thing keep going at almost full speed

[elfin plank]

dice hates tankers

[spiral folio]

Nah the massive inexhaustible supplies of DU the US has are exhausted by 2042 its crazy

[fervent rose]

if dice hated tankers they would increase your personal cooldown a lot

you can get every respawn

[magic bloom]

You can’t buff tanks to much otherwise it’s another nightbird problem

[fervent rose]

like this game does not need bf4 tanks

[elfin plank]

you mean like how you cant look at the spawn screen when you have a countdown? you have to let the countdown go down off screen? it that what you mean by dice doesnt hate tankers lol?

[spiral folio]

Realistic tank combat would suck in a battlefield setting too

[fervent rose]

some people want them to be that good again, but no thanks

[magic bloom]

It would

[spiral folio]

Like hit a mine
Throw a track
Guess where you are permanently

[fervent rose]

being 1 shot by basically anything yep

[magic bloom]

War thunder Is free go Play That if you want realistic tanking

[elfin plank]

i love war thuinder

[magic bloom]

What nation and tier

[chilly jacinth]

Striving for realism in an Arcade shooter is cringe

[spiral folio]

I liked WoT better cause less modern crap

[elfin plank]

ok random

[fervent rose]

some things need to be semi realistic. like physics

[spiral folio]

Still more real than BF tanking

[magic bloom]

Arc isn’t a random

[pine roost]

that's fair

[elfin plank]

germany tier 6 i think

[magic bloom]

EWWWWW GERMANY

[chilly jacinth]

You're also random

[spiral folio]

Wot gets me too... amped up?

[chilly jacinth]

How do you do fellow random

[magic bloom]

Top tier America in WT is an absolute monster

[elfin plank]

i like leos

what can i say

[spiral folio]

But yea the physics and gameplay are better. BF tanks drive like they're made of foam

No weight to em

[elfin plank]

impenetrable leo cheeks? love it

[magic bloom]

The tanks also can’t really neutral steer

[fervent rose]

2042 has a gravity issue with all vehicles basically

[elfin plank]

in 2042?

[magic bloom]

They like spas out when you try to

Yes in 2042

[radiant prism]

my escape key isnt working

[elfin plank]

t28 being a good example lol

[radiant prism]

there is no escape

[spiral folio]

Its generally preferred not to neutral steer because of the stress it does on the tracks and drive

[elfin plank]

the most immobile ground vehicle in the game

the T28

[magic bloom]

Yes I’m aware but it’s a game

[spiral folio]

I saw somebody flip a TOG over in wot once

[pastel loom]

they're fast irl though

[radiant prism]

Its also the most immobile ground vehicle irl

[elfin plank]

cheeky bastard

[magic bloom]

As all Russian tanks are

[spiral folio]

You can be fast and heavy but like bf tanks drive and move over terrain like theyre basically massless

[elfin plank]

t72 reverse speed intensifies

[spiral folio]

"Enemy missile lock! Eject turret!" -starman song-

[magic bloom]

Can’t the t80 like not reverse at all

One of the Russian tanks can’t

[elfin plank]

one issue that i can think of that bugs me about bf4 tanks was sliding and lack of ground traction

thats all

[radiant prism]

my escape and f1 keys aren't working

this is so frustrating

[spiral folio]

T80s can only reverse directly to the storage facility

[elfin plank]

T80 can actually reverse the best out of them

its the t72 thats the snail stuck in shit when you try to reverse it

[magic bloom]

I Know Theres one of their shitty metal caskets that can’t reverse

[spiral folio]

Yes all soviet tanks

T-34 is basically casket shaped even

[chilly jacinth]

So that's why you never see them reversing in combat footage

[spiral folio]

Once the soviets discovered autoloaders they even came with built in crematoriums

[magic bloom]

Can’t Abrams Reverse at Damn near Full Speed

[elfin plank]

yes

[radiant prism]

yeah

[spiral folio]

"Probably but classified"

[radiant prism]

abram speedy

[elfin plank]

this is false

[magic bloom]

The gas turbine is amazing

[radiant prism]

whispering death or whatever

[magic bloom]

The whistle makes me happy

[elfin plank]

thye became death traps because soviets like to fill them to the brim with ammo everywhere

ammo behind the driver? yes

[radiant prism]

turret launch competition!

[magic bloom]

I’ve stood next to one irl they earned that name for a reason if your like 20 feet away it’s quiet

[elfin plank]

ammo in the gunners lap? yes

ammo behind the commanders head? yes

ammo? yes

[spiral folio]

Its the way the ammo is stored for the autoloader. Soviet tanks have had the same issue for a long time but the autoloaders exacerbated it

[elfin plank]

no no no

[spiral folio]

Abrams is so big it has its own ammo bunker

[elfin plank]

ammo in the auto loader is where it should be

low on the profile where its least likely to get hit

the problem is when you put ammo everywhere

[spiral folio]

Well miraculously in every era any of these were ever used in... they have the ability to eject their turret to the ionosphere and never learned the lesson by sheer coincidence

[magic bloom]

I saw combat footage of an Abrams getting it’s ammo hit the whole crew escapes

[radiant prism]

gotta love wet ammo racks

[magic bloom]

I wish that was a mechanic on the m1a5

[elfin plank]

so lets not forget that western tanks also get their turrets popped too

[magic bloom]

Abrams Never had one popped

[elfin plank]

yeah they did

[magic bloom]

Not to my knowledge anyway

[elfin plank]

saudi abrams

[radiant prism]

I remember seeing some film on the battle of 73 easting and thinking the Abrams was invincible for a while

But

[elfin plank]

any tank can look bad when you have untrained people in them

[radiant prism]

yknow

[spiral folio]

Abrams stores ammo very different so theyve got blowout panels which allow the ammo to cook off without killing the crew is what that is

[elfin plank]

different? most western tanks store ammo like the abrams

[spiral folio]

Export abrams like the ones given to iraq theres videos of those cooking off

[elfin plank]

and even then they still keep ammo outside the ammo rack and get their turrets popped

[magic bloom]

Imagine training to be a tanker just to get your arm ripped off by an auto loader

[elfin plank]

leopard stores ammo by the driver

[spiral folio]

Its a good demonstration of how the panels blow out

[elfin plank]

abrams stores ammo also by the loaders leg

[frank sequoia]

tanks are very cool

[magic bloom]

Ah the good old ready rack

[spiral folio]

So instead of launching the turret to space it just makes a bonfire

[exotic tartan]

did they remove the toggle for crossplay on pc?

[elfin plank]

no

leopard turrets still get lauched

[spiral folio]

Its also why Abrams crews are forbidden from lap-loading

[magic bloom]

That’s cause they’re German

[elfin plank]

as with the abrams in that one vid with the kornet

[magic bloom]

Everything German is over engineered

[cosmic sequoia]

Shouldn’t it only be the t28 who gets it’s turret launched

[radiant prism]

theoretically yes

but

cinematics

[elfin plank]

If the t72s in iraq werent exported and used tungsten sabots and werent used by average 2042 players

[cosmic sequoia]

Yeah if

Ig

[elfin plank]

those t72s had a real chance of killing abrams in the battle of 73 eastings

"if"

[spiral folio]

The US owned abrams in iraq that was "downed" had a track thrown in a combat area and there was any risk it could be compromised. So the crew was told to thermite the hell out of it

[magic bloom]

Real chads enjoy the prototype XM1 from Chrysler

[radiant prism]

wasn't the only real tank loss a couple bradleys?

[elfin plank]

no lol

[spiral folio]

Gulf war had some bradleys taken out some by friendly fire

[elfin plank]

friendly fire killed so much of our own armor

or mission killed them

[spiral folio]

But like by enemy fire not really

We only kill our own tanks

[magic bloom]

That’s why the A10 is dogshit

I’ve preached it for so long

[elfin plank]

like i said if the t72 was using 3mb42 (long rod penetrator) on the M1A1 c's or hc's i think

[radiant prism]

according to cough wikipedia the only combat loss to enemy fire was a bradley, in terms of vehicles

[elfin plank]

it wouldve been a different story

[cosmic sequoia]

I forgot what war it was but at one point, Israel didn’t want to be in front of American tanks because of friendly fire lmao

[magic bloom]

There was like 7 killed in ff if I remember right

[spiral folio]

The V symbols on an abrams are IR indicators to indicate friendly because of this

[magic bloom]

They had Merkava’s they’d be fine

[elfin plank]

ammo is stored in the rear on those

theyd be dead

[magic bloom]

It’s a joke

[elfin plank]

ah

[spiral folio]

Has there been a joint armor op between Israel and usa

[elfin plank]

idk tbh

[spiral folio]

They used us tanks a while back

[elfin plank]

m60s

T72 food

[spiral folio]

Except golan heights where the t72s cant aim down

[elfin plank]

lol

[spiral folio]

Another soviet trait

[magic bloom]

Then the T72’s became Abrams food

[elfin plank]

russian tanks would be so good if they were just... re engineered

[spiral folio]

Russian engineers
"Why tank needs to aiming down when whole worlds is flat"

[radiant prism]

not enough depression, they were too happy 🙂

[cosmic sequoia]

Lmaooo

[elfin plank]

i still think a proper T72 could give an abrams a good run

but none of that matters

whoever sees who first normally wins

[spiral folio]

Well the abrams penetration is so high that in gulfwar2 US crews could shoot through the ground through the t72 and out the back

[radiant prism]

if you fundamentally change who the soviets were and the truth of how their internal politics worked, maybe the T-72 would be a serious threat to the abrams.

[spiral folio]

And poison the ground for decades

[elfin plank]

3bm42 could also do the same to the abrams if shot at the upper glacis

[elfin plank]

And those are DU myths

[spiral folio]

Theres stories of abrams completely bouncing shots in Baghdad at "very close" ranges

[magic bloom]

DU doesn’t actually poison anything

Brb

[spiral folio]

But it does weigh like twice as much

[elfin plank]

youd literally have to break off a piece one of the hardest substances known to man

ingest it

or breath it in by alot

to even remotely get sick
