Renewal cringe
#battlefield-2042
calm bison
It’s such a bad map
At least for jets
It’s a very rough map
Although the reworked version is undeniably better in every way
They missed a lot of the core problems with the map
It’s still a bit of a jog to get between objectives
The wall, while offering some nice chokepoint gameplay
Honestly makes the map kind of terrible
Objective C1 feels like an afterthought
Despite having placed a few boxes and trucks in the area it still feels like it has no cover
prisma ingot
guys,how can i change language of 2042 in EA?
drowsy shuttle
how to make Renewal a decent map 101:
remove the fucking wall.
fickle wharf
nah
calm bison
how to make Renewal a decent map 101:
remove the fucking wall.
Or at the very least add weak spots where players can blow up the wall
drowsy shuttle
they go to counter that suggestion with: "well, for that you have the doors"
calm bison
The doors are huge obvious chokepoints
Also I like that they put shipping containers in front of the doors on the green side of the wall
But on the desert side there’s nothing
Also during a tornado the giant garage doors close and don’t reopen even after the tornado has dissipated
lone void
I didn't even know those doors had a function I thought there was actually a way to control them
I know they open on their own on breakthrough and that's it
Renewal is just kinda sucky
calm bison
It’s a map that I don’t particularly enjoy but if I get it once in a while I’ll get some value from it
lone void
It's like the BF4 Caspain border if you thought the border was what made it fun
Big wall =/= gameplay
calm bison
Honestly I wasn’t really too fond of Caspian Border in BF4
The objectives felt too spread out
And the map wasn’t really that pretty to look at either
lone void
At least you can destroy the wall on it tho
calm bison
Yeah
calm bison
Yes
calm bison
Battlefield has had an interesting history of sandstorms
BF4 had it where it would always spawn
BF1’s sandstorm might spawn but if it did it would last forever
BFV’s sandstorm never spawned
fervent rose
Renewal is just kinda sucky
if the spawns were more protected and less "open field areas" it would be a decent map
patent pivot
do you remember the fog in 1
fervent rose
dunno how they avoided fixing that in so many of the map reworks
patent pivot
fervent rose
like Orbital's worst spawns from beta are still in the game
haha big green field of death
calm bison
DICE forgot to fix that open field of grass outside B1 on Orbital
fervent rose
the spawns in 2042 are fucked up in so many cases
valid jackal
Hi anyone at DICE...
The definitive fix for Dozer is just to make the shield TWO HIT KILL NOT ONE! 
patent pivot
as for bf4 and hardline shields, make them durable to heavy AR and shotgun rounds too
surreal pier
Is the rpg better than the m5 rocket launcher?
Like what's the difference between them lol
calm bison
The M5 has a zippy travel velocity but does less damage
The RPG has more drop but does more damage
surreal pier
Ah that's cool, good to know
fervent rose
and you get 1 less rpg on spawn and it has 1 less max compared to m5
2(3) instead of 3(4)
next cairn
Is there no rocket launcher that you can trace ? Like bf4? I missed it
chilly jacinth
Lis
calm bison
I think he’s referring to something like the SRAW
fervent rose
Is there no rocket launcher that you can trace ? Like bf4? I missed it
tow missiles exist on vehicles
remote kiln
Is there no rocket launcher that you can trace ? Like bf4? I missed it
the SRAW isn't in the game, the TOW missile is on some ground vehicles and the TGM is Lis's ability
next cairn
I also gotta work on my jet and heli it’s not as smooth as bf4 was
Ahhhh ok ok wish they brought it back that’s my fav since most launchers are useless and don’t do good dmg lol
remote kiln
there are some stationary TOWs on some maps that you can use, but they are nowhere as open as they were in 3 and 4
remote kiln
Ahhhh ok ok wish they brought it back that’s my fav since most launchers are use...
no they're the most powerful iteration of any game if anything except hardline, TGM's 4 shot heavy vehicles 2 shot aircraft (1 shot if under 80), the main rocket launchers have 0 recoil like in older games and have the exact same damage stats against vehicles
surreal pier
and you get 1 less rpg on spawn and it has 1 less max compared to m5
Yeah but I guess it's worth it right? I assume it must do like twice the damage? lol
Even though it's super satisfying to blow up jets and light choppers with the m5
remote kiln
it doesn't do twice the damage, if it did you wouldn't even be allowed 2
it does a base 4-6 above the M5 per rocket, which is pretty significant, RNG for explosive contact damage is in the game, so it's not a static change
surreal pier
That doesn't seem like a lot when you consider the downsides like bad sights and slower travel speed
But idk maybe I just got too used to the m5
I tried the rpg for a bit and it just felt off to me lol

what is the "best" sidearm?
wanna unlock something and just kinda stick to it
get all the stuff done on it
calm bison
TBH they’re all kinda good
Glock is well rounded
Deagle is nice
Super 500 is extremely situational
PF51 is good
1911 is good as long as it has the extended mag
fervent rose
what is the "best" sidearm?
deagle right now i'd say
fervent rose
glock is still good for hipfire spam but its super reliable 3 burst is kinda a thing of the past
next onyx
Deagle is really good for finishing people off.
P125 if you have a trigger finger.
Am I dumb to say it feels like there's actual side arm variety now?
fervent rose
nobody ever mentions it but the mp28 is simple but good
next onyx
Cause the mp412 rex got a buff.
It can one hit kill someone in the head out till 49 metres.
fervent rose
rex is nuts now ya
next onyx
Biggest issue is that it doesn't disregard armour if you go for the body.
Which I think is fine versus the deagle.
fervent rose
but the irons suck for actually hitting those long headshots
next onyx
Deagle pens armour but has less HS range, Mp412 if you can hit your shots.
I actually find the mp28 super respectable cause its good brilliant hipfire!
My thoughts are mashing together mind my speech.
fervent rose
the sidearm category definitely has more variety but the deag is a bit overtuned
like why does it need to do more than 50 damage
next onyx
Yeah it's annoying.
Being shot at it for the first it sounded like an SVK.
Saw the damage and realised it was a deagle.
I'll be honest.
queen dagger
the mp443 has great hipfiring
fervent rose
the grach is solid
queen dagger
its a reliable pistol
fervent rose
grachacity
next onyx
Yeah I was thinking of Grach I blame you.
If there's one side arm asides from the m44 that i feel unsure of it. It would be the m93r.
fervent rose
yea its just not very good
and the m44 is shite outside of hitting some stationary sniper
next onyx
If you make it a 4hk I think that'd be over doing it. But it's genuinely a gun that requires good aim but you get little in return.
I wouldn't mind it being a 4hk if they reduced its hs multiplier. As scummy as it sounds.
queen dagger
i like the m44 
next onyx
You main Boris and I'm scared for you.
fervent rose
i cant enjoy a single action revolver in a game as fast as 2042

You main Boris and I'm scared for you.
whats wrong with that..
fervent rose
at least the pace i play the game, the m44 cant keep up
calm bison
People slept on the MP28
Still waiting for them to make it automatic

I hate short barrel but I genuinely think a properly tuned short barrel would suit the m416
Give it the same damage range as the m5a3 with SB.

fervent rose
very unlikely that vault guns get those
queen dagger
but however my number 1 gun became the super 500
next onyx
They couldn't increase the fire rate of the acw-r since it specifically just broke.

At least you have a diverse list of weapons.

my perfect BF game would have no jets outside of conquest

Finding combat isn't that difficult at all in conquest.

And that's good!

well that's just conquest with air vehicles isnt it

in circles to self repair over and over? yea

That sounds about right.

then i realized it was awful and stopped

Bf1 flying is better than bfv flying

i just found the whole resupply at certain points inane
and how it could occur mid fight
calm bison
I remember one time I was flying in a P51D. I was dominating so hard I was 8K points above the guy second on the leaderboard
fervent rose
i'd have 2 guys on my 6 and just fly in circles forever
and im not good at flying planes
next onyx
Unfortunately I feel into that trap many times.
With those people.
I eventually took them down but it's super awkward.
calm bison
Turn fighting is really how you tend to do dogfights in battlefield
royal swan
I hate the circle, most boring shit ever
calm bison
Personally I liked to use the terrain to see if I could shake them off
royal swan
Another reason I don't mess with planes
next onyx
Like look there were quite a bit of issues with dogfighting in bf5. Personally, When it worked I found it the most fun.
Think I got a clip somewhere.
Showed drey it but it was genuinely a good clip.
Nvm his two for one kek.
calm bison
To me there will be nothing more satisfying in BFV than being in a P51D and killing a high Alt abusing G6

That’s honestly how I learned to deal with AA
next onyx
Which I have been forced to do since they increased AA on fighter damage.
Yeah.
It was boring.
royal swan
Then pilots learn to rocket snipe.
Ah but I predict movement and they never kill me
calm bison
Honestly I just started learning where the AA positions were on a lot of the maps
next onyx
When everyone has their fliegerfaust up you just circle your own resupply point and snipe with rockets.
fervent rose
Then pilots learn to rocket snipe.
the rocket sniping in 5 was so annoying
next onyx
You predict movement ok that doesn't change what they're forced to do.
royal swan
the rocket sniping in 5 was so annoying
Unless you predicted it
next onyx
I wonder what was my longest rocket snipe.
calm bison
TBH i find enjoyment when some dude is focusing me when I’m in a plane because it means it’s one less guy helping his team win
royal swan
As long as they can't drop bombs or get multi kills it's a win for me
next onyx
I should have a bit of clips rocket sniping people, not AA's since I had to do it on the regular.
fervent rose
actually everything about the zeros was annoying
royal swan
Wasting the planes time is the best
next onyx
Be more scared of a good corsair pilot, Yo.
calm bison
Except what if the plane does this funny thing and ignores you
next onyx
Their guns rise people faster than the zeroes could ever could.
fervent rose
i almost never saw corsair players dominating
calm bison
Because all of the good Corsair pilots have stopped playing or moved elsewhere
But some are still in there
royal swan
I love being a dick in a tank and sniping planes out of airstrips
calm bison
It feels really good at the opening of Wake Island when it’s 2v4 and you’re part of the 2
And you win
fervent rose
Because all of the good Corsair pilots have stopped playing or moved elsewhere
i mean what i remember about playing pacific during the first few months of it
it was always zeros rinsing the server
merry heart
wow i can see why the wildcat is hated lol
calm bison
The zero has a smaller frame than the Corsair
However
It doesn’t matter when the pilot of the Corsair is good
Something something it’s not the plane it’s the pilot
royal swan
You know you did good as a AA when the planes only target you
crude matrix
deagle right now i'd say
damnit the one thing I cant have for a while
all the other ones but the deagle are obtainable via challenges
calm bison
When the pacific maps have giant sky boxes for planes you become a really easy target to pinpoint for aircraft
fervent rose
just cant put a sight on the rex
calm bison
Now if you’re a map like Al Sundan and Hamada where you have those annoying as fuck heat rays
You definitely suck some off

I love being a dick in a tank and sniping planes out of airstrips
i guess you had a blast laying mines with the mine layer airplane in enemy air strips in BF5
royal swan
i guess you had a blast laying mines with the mine layer airplane in enemy air s...
YOU DAMN FUCKING RIGHT
calm bison
Just another reason why airstrips in battlefield are fucking stupid
royal swan
I love placing traps at airstrips
next onyx
Landmines on airstrips was scummy.
royal swan
Cry about it
fervent rose
agreed but at the same time pilots being killed is always funny
calm bison
To this day I’ve only done it once
royal swan
next onyx
The fact that the Corsair 1A and M2 could carry them and rig airstrips were BS>
next onyx
Oh nah I mean you could rig out of bound airstrips.
fervent rose
getting a free plane kill on wake island is about the only joy on that map
calm bison
Honestly whenever im near an airstrip I usually wait until the enemy is in the air before engaging
Unless it’s a bomber
Then I nuke it
next onyx
Yeah Drey I would give them some time to go piss off.
calm bison
It just feels cheap
next onyx
@fervent rose @calm bison Remember how broken these planes were at launch.
calm bison
Oh god
fervent rose
yes, yes i do
next onyx
Honestly as someone who abuses the Xm370, I hate going out of my way to be a scummy rat.
royal swan
It just feels cheap
Not when you're malicious playing games
calm bison
I used the 500s as well because I could one shot tanks
fervent rose
the incen bombs were ridiculous on BT tho
next onyx
"What's the point of a plane if it can't bomb a plane" which is still my mentality.
Oh nah they were.
My friends got tonnes of killstreaks from them.
calm bison
I didn’t really prioritize infantry since the planes equipped with bombs didn’t have the best access to guns
So I mainly used the bombs on tanks
One problem
Infantry hug the tanks like blankets
next onyx
It's partly the reason why I wanted to become good at dogfighting, Yo.
To shield my team.
royal swan
And if you're feeling good, you steal it
calm bison
Which was probably achieved farming tanks on Wake Island BT in a Zero
next onyx
My highest was 157 or 167 in a sherman in provence BT.

It's partly the reason why I wanted to become good at dogfighting, Yo.
i go with path of least resistance on this one cause i didnt enjoy flying, i'd just leave if i saw a dedicated pilot
next onyx
Though have you guys ever fought an 88C pilot?
Yeah nah I would hit regular hundy bombs in the m2.
calm bison
I had a 100+ kill game once in Grand Ops
fervent rose
or at least if it was to the point where it was a problem
next onyx

Yeah nah that makes sense.
calm bison
Though have you guys ever fought an 88C pilot?
I’d always target these bomber fuckers at the beginning of Al Sundan games
next onyx
If you know you can deal with them then it's fine but when you know you can't you have to rely on real scummy tactics.
88A? Nah.
88C? Yes.
calm bison
It didn’t matter what it was
royal swan
Anyways s6 tease when
calm bison
If it was darting for the spawn with an impressive payload it needed to die
calm bison
I don’t particularly enjoy Bomber gameplay in Bf games since they’re always so sluggish to fly
That being said
fervent rose
i almost eclipsed that on a spearhead game in 2042
calm bison
The Mosquito with the 4K lbs bomb is one of my favorites
next onyx
In provence, Nothing feels more amazing than destroying than PAKs, Sitting in the middle of the fields and just farming.
royal swan
Best bomber is the bf1 cluster bomb from the heavy bomber
fervent rose
got like 165 on spearhead bt
next onyx
I don't even keep track on my games since it's just AI.
I did hit a 130 bomb on Hourglass BT defence but that's about it.
Only thing I can remember.
calm bison
Whenever I’m in the sky I usually try to take care of opposing air targets so that I can deal with the ground unopposed
fervent rose
i think the grossest thing ever was 128 bt spearhead though
calm bison
And usually they always come back fast enough before I can really farm
fervent rose
i was getting around 10 kills per minute on the early sectors if things went right
next onyx
Yeah that's it really, Drey.
Oh damn.
I couldn't get my head around it.
I was getting so tilted.
calm bison
Was able to get a 10K point game on Rupture with the bomber fighter config today
So I still got it in that department
next onyx
I got an octakill even with the m16 but I just DDU'd my drivers and nvidia experience wasn't set to record I was so sad.
next onyx
Ye.

Here you go

Strafed the ground

this reminds me of one of my favorite moments from bfv, i was memeing with mmg hipfire and blind jump peeked into a room full of guys and got a 7 skull spraydown
next onyx
Nice!
fervent rose
1922 was dirty
next onyx
I memed with a light bolt mg42.
I even got hate mail from a rainbow six siege ximmer wannabe LOL.
Oh nah @fervent rose Ever used your MMG on the back of a car on Marita?
calm bison
The MG-42 is my most used gun in BFV
With near 5K kills
Rookie numbers for some of y’all
next onyx
Not on the back but on the passenger side.
Yeah.
You know that rule in battlefield where if you have a bipod and in the passenger side it would automatically deploy, Givign you the benefits?
fervent rose
Oh, you mean in the british transport?
that open one that was mostly a death trap haha
next onyx
Oh nah the kubelwagon.
The speedy boy.
I should have been more specific.
Cy and I would often do that.
And it would be ended with a mine.
fervent rose
I never did that, I did abuse the halftracks on marita with a friend though
next onyx
There was a map specific bug where passenger MMG's for some reason, Has ZERO recoil.
fervent rose
we'd double park the german ones right past the bridge
merry heart
hmm still getting the network 7800 error when i try to speak in all chat in game, even with VPN
next onyx
Weird.
calm bison
Consult the book of ChatGPT
fervent rose

if i knew about it at the time, i would have definitely done some cheesing
but sadly nope
next onyx
Yeah nah.
fervent rose
just using bipod anywhere was basically 0 recoil anyway
throw box, crouch, enjoy 0 recoil!
next onyx
Normally using the MMG in the passenger side would yield you more recoil than usual.
Cause it's semi unsupported.
Oh yeah remember when bipods stacked multiplicatively with stance?
fervent rose
What was the name of the 30 round one? god that was a laser on bipod
next onyx
So you'd go crouch, bipod with your MMG by a window and literally zero recoil.
S2-2000.
calm bison
Still got a soft spot for the MG-34
next onyx
mg34 did realyl well with the drum mag.
calm bison
Never used it
next onyx
I had a period where I was getting golden tags with every weapons.
calm bison
I got the 100 round belt
next onyx
Oh yeah.
The drum reloaded super quick and never overheated.
So you could mag dump, Reload fairly quickly and keep firing.
fervent rose
lots of the gold stuff looked goofy ya
robust vapor
It's like they forgot to give it engravings
next onyx
My favourite MMG was the VGO. Gave it a hundred round literel bonk drum mag and saw it twirl during its fire.
robust vapor
The full gold stg44 looks sexy
next onyx
I preferred it without its engravings to be honest.
calm bison
I used the Megalodon skins for the MG42 and STG
robust vapor
I want Damascus MP40
next onyx
One thing I would have loved to see if you could replace tank guns with your own MMG.
next onyx
Yes I have megaladon!
robust vapor
Like come on dice give me Damascus skin in 2042 too
next onyx
It would incentivise people to use their MMG's in these tanks.
robust vapor
next onyx
Upgrading them.
fervent rose
top gun was a fucking death trap anyway
next onyx
True but imagine being able to fit in your own MG42 into the gaps and fire at people.
robust vapor
The sheer firepower is just there
calm bison
I remember my favorite combo for a while were the mastery skins on the metal bits and then proficiency skins on the wooden parts
next onyx
I would combine the chrome wood which was red with gold.
fervent rose
Oh you mean for the side gunner, that thing farmed regardless
next onyx
Yeah.
robust vapor
Yeah BFV skins are more diverse
fervent rose
5 had potent tank machineguns
next onyx
The frontal gun.
calm bison
I still think BFV has the best tank gameplay of the franchise
robust vapor
fervent rose
I still think BFV has the best tank gameplay of the franchise
really, over 3?
next onyx
They were good I'm not gonna say they were useless but I always err... Romanced the idea of replacing that gun with my own MMG, Earning my own kills.
calm bison
really, over 3?
Didn’t play much of 3 but probably
There is so much diversity in V’s tanks
next onyx
It would have pushed people to play support and to support their own tanks.
Which by the way I was so glad support got their own repair tool.
calm bison
You wanted a sherman flamethrower? Boom you got it
You want a puma with a big meme gun? Boom you got it
You want a discount Churchill AVRE? You got it
next onyx
Hey look.
95mm churchill was no discount.
It was a legitimate threat and you will not slander it.
calm bison
It just looked goofy to me
fervent rose
a lot of the diversity in v's tank gameplay was relatively pointless, but i get your point
calm bison
Big chonker of a tank
fervent rose
the flamethrowers were cool
calm bison
Little tiny gun
next onyx
I mained the churchill.
robust vapor
Churchill gave me ptsd
calm bison
Noisy cricket
next onyx
I got the black skin.
robust vapor
You will not see me going at it
calm bison
Same
fervent rose
I spent most of the time in the valentine
calm bison
The skin is available for it now
next onyx
WHO REMEMBERS HOW BROKEN THE CHURCHILL CROCODILE WAS POST PATCH.
fervent rose
medium tanks were the best by far
calm bison
Hold on
next onyx
It could two hit kill heavy tanks from the front.
calm bison
I have a crocodile final form clip
next onyx
Those standard rounds from the crocodile could two hit kill heavies.
They were a tier above Tiger HEAT rounds.
fervent rose
was this a late bfv thing
next onyx
Yeah.
fervent rose
I remember the croc being awesome but not that good
next onyx
But for the british it was amazing.
robust vapor
Die Panzers
next onyx
Crocodile was always decent but it did fall a little short versus the sturmy boy.
robust vapor
next onyx
But it was still a REALLY good tank.
I think a medium took 86 if you shot their side?
Tiger HEAT could OHK mediums if you shot their rear.
robust vapor
next onyx
But also so fucking broken.
fervent rose
hachi was fucking ridiculous
fervent rose
see enemy tank > hachi deletes enemy tank
calm bison
SOMEONE REPOST PLS
next onyx
next onyx
I'd argue in a way the calliope was just as potent.
arctic grove
You ain’t ready for the big man slap
calm bison
I had a blind hachi double kill once
robust vapor
SturmTiger is goofy af
Big nose
Also looks like you @calm bison
SturmDrey
But never engage the ST head on
next onyx
Oh nah hachi was certainly potent.
Though the fact that the calliope could fire endlessly.
-until it ran out of ammo.
Was great.
Those m8 rockets fucking mauled heavy tanks.
robust vapor
The LVT is more annoying ngl
next onyx
And that's nothing to speak of with its main 37 cannon which was buffed to act like pre nerf medium AP rounds.
fervent rose
calliope next to an ammo box was endless fun
robust vapor
Too much of em on Iwo Jima
fervent rose
it was a mortar tank
next onyx
So you always dealt 52 damage to their frontal tracks.
LVT's were fucking.
They were just boxes of points.
I loved bombing them.
I loved sending rockets their way.
calm bison
fervent rose
LVT farmed though
next onyx
Like dude.
calm bison
Here it is
fervent rose
even the level 0 ones
calm bison
My favorite Sturmtiger clip
next onyx
Popping an LVT and getting 4 kills out of it?
1000 points in a single go?
Oh cunt it feels so good.
calm bison
@robust vapor mind reposting pls?
next onyx
tHAT SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME.
fervent rose
the grenade launcher on the sturm too, that thing was good
next onyx
This dude on aerodrome was looking around on F for enemies, He spots the sturmtiger and in that time his brain processed "Is that a sturmtiger" dude gets fucking face blasted.
calm bison
That’s a tank
next onyx
I should share mine.
calm bison
It’s just an insta kill
next onyx
It's so fun to blast enemies.
fervent rose
This dude on aerodrome was looking around on F for enemies, He spots the sturmti...
there was a great one that had a direct impact on his infantry soldier while on the bridge on twisted but it stops just in front of his face
calm bison
I always made it so I had a flag on my tanks
fervent rose
the sturmtiger shell is just visually funny
calm bison
My Churchill IIRC is
next onyx
OH YEAH.
calm bison
Graye-Sur-Mer with Platoon Leader turret and the sandbag hull
Tiger is Captain Hadlow with Column Leader turret and last tiger hull
Sherman is fury but with an American flag
calm bison
Can’t say that I do
next onyx
In BT Al sundan there was a glitch where both sides could call in a sturmtiger.
Even when they requested a halftrack.
Unlimited sturmtigers.
fervent rose
it was fucking funny
calm bison
Another one
fervent rose
i had forgotten about it though, that was a great bug
next onyx
Did you know the sturmtiger out of all the superheavies takes the least damage from itself?
calm bison
If I can be completely honest
next onyx
At a mere 70 damage!!!
calm bison
BFV is the only Battlefield game where rounding a corner to meet a tank
robust vapor
This dude on aerodrome was looking around on F for enemies, He spots the sturmti...
I'm like him sometimes
calm bison
Is actually scary
robust vapor
When you need seconds to process information
fervent rose
Nah no way
robust vapor
next onyx
I will admit, The one thing 2042 does great to tanks is their third person sound.
robust vapor
And then next thing you get blasted and still processing information
fervent rose
bf4 tanks are the scariest ones in the franchise
next onyx
That thunderous crack.
next onyx
When you need seconds to process information
Braincell.
robust vapor
Yes
calm bison
Dawg you do not know the fear I had when I went around the White House on Rotterdam in my Churchill only to see a fucking Sturmtiger across the way
calm bison
That thing is fucking terrifying
robust vapor
Legit me sometimes
next onyx
Nah dude have you heard my screams, Drey?
calm bison
No
fervent rose
also seeing that stupid blue light of the TOR in 2042 is terrifying
you're basically dead at that point
calm bison
That is perfect
fervent rose
but getting up close to a TOR is just the tor misplaying
robust vapor
Better pray you got correct set up
next onyx
I love bombing TOR's.
robust vapor
fervent rose
a good tor player wont let you near
calm bison
I will commend BFV for including Tank Destroyers (the archer was better BTW)
calm bison
The archer I enjoyed because it actually had a coaxial MG
Unlike the STuG
Also that thing was fucking fast
And I don’t mean
fervent rose
the stug had the really nutty 2nd gun though right
next onyx
My favourite moment is when you abuse Archer players in a 38t.
calm bison
Small brisk jog fast
fervent rose
you needed a partner to make stug powerful
next onyx
AP shells in the 38t ruin tanks on a good flank.
calm bison
I mean the archer could catch up to armored cars it was that fast
Ironically it was faster forwards than backwards
next onyx
You can literally outdamage an archer from the front with the 38t.
Archer was so goofy but they fucked tank destroyers over.
fervent rose
My favourite moment is when you abuse Archer players in a 38t.
i think that would go to the danger snakes 1 shotting heavy tanks for me
fervent rose
i loved the valentine
calm bison
Why not BFV
next onyx
I hated the basic valentine cause it was so stupidly easy.
fervent rose
yea but getting melee range and 1 shotting tigers never got old
blazing terrace
Playing stock valentine was a pain
calm bison
I’m a bit of a USA lover in BFV apparently
Most used plane is the 51D
Most used tank is the Sherman
next onyx
I would have hit 10K sherman kills if I gave a damn.
blazing terrace
Yee haw
calm bison
Honestly the most diverse tank in the game is probably the Sherman
next onyx
The mustang was so much fun.
calm bison
The mustang was so much fun.
It has such a lovely sound to it
next onyx
fervent rose
Honestly the most diverse tank in the game is probably the Sherman
i felt like the balance was never quite right in us vs german maps
and it was definitely off in the pacific after the balance changes, the japanese tank hard farmed shermans
calm bison
i felt like the balance was never quite right in us vs german maps
Because DICE didn’t go through the effort of giving the US actual tanks to stand up to Germany
The Tiger with HEAT can 3 shot a sherman
next onyx
When they fixed it all, Pacific tanks and planes were the most fun in the game.
fervent rose
ya i remember switching to TIGER on those maps
next onyx
No churchill means the Americans were fucked.
But the Americans had the most broken fucking plane in the game in the p70.
fervent rose
normally i'd just spam the panzer iv on germany
next onyx
It's literally a bomber fighter but as a bomber therefore it doesn't take additional damage from flak.
calm bison
But the Americans had the most broken fucking plane in the game in the p70.
That sounds like America honestly
Kinda eh ground power
fervent rose
but us vs germany the tigers were op
calm bison
Terrifying air power
next onyx
Have you been in the recieving end of the p70, Yo?
Actually nah the A20 was actually quite good too.
Two 1 tonne bombs allowed you to nuke planes with ease.
With the engine upgrade you could get to where you needed faster.
calm bison
If DICE had added tanks like the Wolverine, Pershing, and Chaffee I think the US would have a much better time dealing with Germany
And hey they could Germany the Panther for emotional support
I still love the Cologne Pershing story
Pershing rounds the corner to see a Panther looking straight at it
Crew is completely shit faced
Except the Panther commander thinks the Pershing is a German tank
So they ignore it
fervent rose
Have you been in the recieving end of the p70, Yo?
Idk I played very little after those became available, most of my time was before the ttk change
next onyx
Ah yeah.
I got to destroy I think 3 flakpanzers in a single go with it once.
Shit was dumb.
calm bison
I hate the Wirbelwind in BFV
DICE made the mistake of giving AA too much range in BFV
fervent rose
that thing was dope
calm bison
850m range is a bit excessive
