#

Yeah

#

I suppose most fielded makes sense

ivory canopy
#

Yeah it was designed to be used to lay suppressive fire while advancing to the enemy trench.

mint sable
#

Yes

ivory canopy
#

The Germans had no comparable weapon so they just took what Chauchats they could capture and rechambered them.

mint sable
#

Didn't they have madsens

errant scarab
#

@mint sable ur fav BF is

ivory canopy
#

I mean, Madsens were a thing

#

They're pretty bourgeois arms compared to the Chauchat, which was made cheaply.

mint sable
errant scarab
ivory canopy
#

Granted, the Chauchat had some reliability issues in the mud laden warfield that was the time of the day.

mint sable
#

Yeah that mag wasn't a great idea

royal swan
#

I don't think hardline ain't that memorable to be up there, game is more forgotten than that free to play bf that we try to forget

ivory canopy
#

Those issues tend to be exacerbated, especially with the .30-06 rechambering

kindred flint
#

ive been in this match for 5 mins and died to a claymore twice..

mint sable
#

Oh yeah that american version was shit

#

Or so I've heard

#

Wasn't the magazine like

#

Flimsy or something

#

Or bad in some way

hushed cedar
#

Is there any patchnotes which weapons got nerfed or buffed ?

mint sable
#

Yes

#

They're somewhere

hushed cedar
#

For the new season

mint sable
#

P90 nerf

#

Mcs 880 buff

hushed cedar
mint sable
#

No

#

Yes

hushed cedar
#

Ouh thank you 😊

Just got my bearings again in 2042 since I had EA Play for Titanfall 2 and this is probably gonna be my game for when I’m not in Apex (which is for at least the next 5 days as I have Level 109 and don’t want to do the BP grind in that game since I don’t have much I can do

ivory canopy
#

MCS-880 deserved a buff

#

Before 6.0 it was far and away the worst gun in the game. I haven't tried it since but I've faced enemies with it that just dumpstered me

tacit sphinx
#

the issue has always been consistency

ivory canopy
#

On a side note, I'm halfway to the T1 for the RPK

ivory canopy
copper ice
#

The buff was substantial

tacit sphinx
#

when it works it’s a pretty brutal shotgun for videogame standards tbh

#

is potentially able to OHK up to something like 20m lol

copper ice
#

A lot more consistent up too 20m with the buff also

tacit sphinx
#

i put myself through the t1 grind with it about a month ago lmao

#

saw that tweet and was just like pepestarege pepestarege

#

im fine

merry plaza
#

just cant connect the 2042 server

idle lion
#

game is good
sadly it became good too late
so no one plays it anymore

#

basically its built upon lies which explains why the player numbers are shit

I just hit someone with Dozer's shield for 7 damage

ah fuck you broke my finger

Idk what they mean by that either CursedCat

#

Still hate the new map

hushed cedar
karmic egret
#

New map is why locker and metro would suck in 2042

shell ermine
#

They just suck regardless of the game they are in

knotty carbon
#

Hello. Have you noticed how screwed the VHX D3 is? It's incredible what can be killed with that weapon. It is not normal that the AM40 has 26 damage and the VHX D3 almost doubles its damage.

gray comet
#

ez

knotty carbon
#

Friend, the new assault rifle is from another league. It is not normal.

kindred flint
#

linear maps are just trash... 3 lanes doesnt provide actual flanking 90% of the time leo

remote kiln
#

another league of mediocrity yes

#

it ranks just as "good" in the AR league, that's all

#

it loses to the rm68 aswell

knotty carbon
#

🤔🤷‍♂️

#

I think they will nerf it I'm sure

#

Good night

turbid pelican
#

it just needs a slight recoil and spread nerf

warm garnet
#

Wait guys is the reason certain games choose one GPU over the other due to VRAM size?

remote kiln
#

you mean discrete over integrated?

next onyx
#

Maybe I'm not used to the sheer damage the assault rifle outputs.

kindred flint
#

just unlocked the high cap standard mag for the vhx, tried it out for like half a match....its not bad Hmm

next onyx
#

850 rpm knowing what I know from the m16 this is just easy mode.

kindred flint
#

wonder what the actual time difference is between reloads of the normal and high cap...but the 40 round constant firing is pretty nice

brave steeple
#

Battlefield 1 is on sale on Origins

next onyx
#

40 rounder reloads pretty quickly all things considered.

kindred flint
#

(but then again this new map is just a cluster fuck that doesnt actually resemble map/gun balance anyways)

turbid pelican

#

The PP smg with 70 bullet mag is still go to tbh

cedar crystal
#

it’s the only way ur clearing a room of 4 people with one mag

kindred flint
#

im far too lazy to type into google 2042 gun stats

cedar crystal
#

aside from shotguns

cedar crystal
kindred flint
#

but this window was already open

next onyx
kindred flint
#

I did say far too lazy leo

next onyx
#

I'm not trying to dispute i genuinely understand.

ivory canopy
#

Oddly enough, the VHX actually has a slower rof than rated in-game

next onyx
#

Yeah it's pretty uncommon for them to do that.

kindred flint
#

isnt that what they did with the type 2a? LUL

turbid pelican
rotund kite
#

it's just funny that it doesn't matter if I mark "keep me signed in" or not in EA app 🤡

next onyx
#

He's too lazy.

kindred flint
#

finally someone that gets it

turbid pelican
ivory canopy
#

BF2042 in-game ROF stats don't really match what's actually prevalent

gray comet
#

Damn

#

6x thermal looks good on the SVK

kindred flint
#

Dices explanation of the short barrel will never not be funny though

ivory canopy
#

It's really weird.

turbid pelican
ivory canopy
#

Yeah I'd expect a rough estimate since you can't really get an exact number.

kindred flint
#

irl damage stats are way more impressive

ivory canopy
#

But it's wild that the M16 (rated at 800) actually fires faster than the VHX (if only just)

dapper bone
#

Hello there guys. Iam pretty new to 2042 so i Wanna ask what specialist would you recommend for new players. Or if you think that Dozer is good option to main.

next onyx
#

Mackay or falck.

#

Dozer's flak jacket is invaluable.

remote kiln
#

tbh I wouldn't say mackay

#

if you suck at gunfights you will do bad with him

elder palm
#

I can't use a rocket launcher and wingsuit anymore what a shame

remote kiln
#

Paik probably

next onyx
#

However general combat wise Mackay and falck are your easy go to's as they provide the most opportunities.

elder palm
#

At least I can still use any weapon

dapper bone
#

I tried to play Recons but my controler aim is bad.

slate viper
#

need sqad mates on PC

next onyx
#

Ah yeah.

elder palm
next onyx
#

Use pp29. Lower your dead zones to 5%.

dapper bone
#

And i wanted to play Dozer because of cosmetics 💀

elder palm
#

Wait

next onyx
#

Haha dozer is a chonker.

remote kiln
elder palm
#

What does it mean by Year One pass?

#

Do I have to buy something additional to unlock the rest of the specialists

ivory canopy
#

The first four seasons are free

remote kiln
#

the year one pass means you unlock content from the first 4 seasons

ivory canopy
#

You gotta pay 1k battlecoins per next battlepass

remote kiln
#

you can unlock the specialists for free, no content in the game is pay to win

kindred flint
#

dozer has so many good shield cosmetics though dude

ivory canopy
#

But if you've played the game enough during those seasons and had one battlepass, you should have enough to buy the next

next onyx
#

Honking chonker.

elder palm
#

It's just that one of the operators had elite edition under him and I thought I had to pay extra to unlock one dude

remote kiln
#

no, that's a skin

ivory canopy
#

nah the newer specialists are free

#

The cosmetics you can earn in-game

#

or buy them

#

if you really want

elder palm
#

Ok

remote kiln
#

the cosmetics for the elite edition cannot be earned ingame

elder palm
#

So like bf5

dapper bone
remote kiln
#

they are exclusive to it

elder palm
#

Wait if the past battle passes were free can you still get them?

remote kiln
#

they were not free

ivory canopy
#

I wish DICE would reconsider their decision to stop at 14 specialists.

elder palm
remote kiln
#

they were only "free" in that you got the paid battle pass for the gold and elite editions

#

there are separate tiers

ivory canopy
#

I meant, if you had the year 1 pass

elder palm
#

Oh

elder palm
#

I'd assume

ivory canopy
#

It feels so weird that assault and recon get four specialists while engi and support only get three

elder palm
#

It's a lot easier to model a new tank than get someone to mocap

remote kiln
#

the free tier for the battle pass has the base items such as vehicles and weapons, the paid one has all the cosmetics and xp boosters

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

Yea

remote kiln
#

for the better of the game

#

lol

#

it was a unbalanced mess

ivory canopy
#

But the good news is you can unlock the SPH and pwn infantry

#

Its blast radius is insane

remote kiln
#

not as good as it used to be

elder palm
# remote kiln for the better of the game

Is it better balance this way? Probably yes. Was it really fun? yes as well
At least they kept the weapons being able to use with any class that was one of my nitpicks of prior battlefield games where I had to use weapons I really didn't like

ivory canopy
#

No, but still good

elder palm
#

God I hated the sights and battlefield 5

remote kiln
elder palm
#

If I have an lmg which I'm supposed to sit down and has long rage why did you give me a site that barely is able to see anywhere and why is the iron sight the most zoomed in

remote kiln
#

it was boring and stale and ruined any fun aspect after 10 matches of dopamine

remote kiln
#

the same thing you're saying, the M5 launcher

elder palm
#

Also are botd filled in with people or is there always bots

ivory canopy
#

Also, Angel AA silos were a thing

#

Ask me how I know

elder palm
elder palm
remote kiln
#

yes AI is filled in with players, they are in the game in servers which don't max their playercounts

#

if someone else joins they are removed

ivory canopy
#

Prior to the class rework that limited launchers to engi only, you can use one as Angel

elder palm
#

I played this game a whole lot after lunch on Xbox One and now I have a PS5 and trying the free version and it looks amazing and I love the 128 players

remote kiln
ivory canopy
#

Angel can spawn that loadout crate, which basically means infinite ammo for the AA launcher

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

THAT WAS SOMETHING! RIGHT?! 😄

ivory canopy
#

Well, yeah, because how are you gonna get the crate through the roof of the building?

elder palm
remote kiln
#

the RPG was tuned down too

elder palm
#

Then what's the difference between the two

remote kiln
#

they are functionally the same, the RPG does more damage to heavy vehicles

ivory canopy
#

I once had a match before 1.0 where I ran an Angel silo and killed like 10 air vehicles

remote kiln
#

the M5 has a slighter higher splash radius

ivory canopy
#

I got the highlight for vehicles destroyed

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

Mind you, back before 1.0, everyone was playing Angel

remote kiln
#

you can't have them be too different from each other otherwise there's no point to use one

remote kiln
#

but you need some sort of difference

remote kiln
elder palm
elder palm
#

Are we getting any more new content after this update anyway

remote kiln
#

no they're actually caring about the health of the game

#

which is good

ivory canopy
#

Grapple means fuck-all in the face of infinite armor packs (which got removed in 1.0)

remote kiln
#

as far as future seasons... probably, but no direct confirmation yet

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

Wake Island 2042

remote kiln
#

no idea lol

#

nobody does

elder palm
remote kiln
#

except DICE anyways

#

all we know is it's a new gamemode, that's all

elder palm
#

If they stop working on this game the only thing I could hope they would be working on would either be a new battle front game

#

Or if my dreams came true a Warhammer battlefield game

ivory canopy
#

They should at least maintain it

remote kiln
#

there is no new battlefront game being worked on

ivory canopy
#

Keep a regular gamemode rotation

remote kiln
#

the next title is a battlefield game

elder palm
#

What could they possibly make next

#

Other than maybe a battlefield 1 sequel

remote kiln
#

a new battlefield? like they've been doing for the last 20 years

ivory canopy
#

Battlefield Vietnam 2

remote kiln
#

the campaign is being led by Marcus lehto the creator of the halo franchise

elder palm
#

(it'd be kind of cool to see Kaiser righ into a bf game)

nova idol
#

So this map is like a spooky genetic experimentation facility? I dig it

elder palm
remote kiln
#

and the multiplayer is being made separate, there's a lot of resources being injected into the next game

warm garnet
nova idol
#

I hope you all realize that specialists are here to stay

elder palm
#

What are your guesses on what the next game is going to be?

warm garnet
#

If one has more dedicated memory doesn't that effect which one the game utilizes

remote kiln
# warm garnet Yeah

discrete is chosen over integrated as it's more powerful, not necessarily the VRAM size, it's a factor, but it's not a overall decision maker

ivory canopy
elder palm
#

I doubt they would do another modern military game or at least near modern

ivory canopy
#

I actually didn't mind the specialists thing

remote kiln
#

it's not coming next year that's all we know

warm garnet
remote kiln
#

the game is in a preproduction stage currently

warm garnet
#

I literally can't play lol

elder palm
ivory canopy
warm garnet
#

My Integrated has slightly more VRAM

#

For some reason

remote kiln
ivory canopy
#

It has an integrated, but does it have a second GPU?

remote kiln
#

close it first obviously

warm garnet
#

Still didn't fix it

#

I tried nvidia control panel as qell

#

Tried using a separate display

#

My only option RN is to limit VRAM cap in bios and see if that'll help

remote kiln
#

that.. doesn't make sense, does your laptop have a MUX switch?

ivory canopy
#

There should be a way to change which screen the game displays on.

warm garnet
remote kiln
#

a automatic switcher for integrated and discrete GPUs

warm garnet
remote kiln
#

if not then the settings won't take effect

#

you need to disable the integrated GPU

ivory canopy
warm garnet
#

When I do that my laptop runs like shit

#

And b42

#

Runs like shit

#

4 fps

remote kiln
#

what is your discrete card?

warm garnet
#

And it still uses more CPU then GPU

warm garnet
remote kiln
#

and your internal?

warm garnet
#

My Integrated is amd TM graphic

#

I have a amd Ryzen 5 5600

#

And Radeon*

remote kiln
#

the 5600 has a APU with more memory, your discrete card doesn't have enough VRAM to run the game

#

which is why it runs bad

warm garnet
#

I see

remote kiln
#

the 3050 ti has 4GB of VRAM, not enough to render the game

elder palm
#

Damn

#

That's actually crazy

remote kiln
#

not as crazy as you think

elder palm
#

Why is NVIDIA so hesitant on vram

warm garnet
#

Rip

remote kiln
#

because it saves them money

#

tldr

#

is the reason

ivory canopy
#

I ran the game on a 970

elder palm
#

I know

ivory canopy
#

This was a while before I got my 3070 Ti

warm garnet
ivory canopy
#

It had the FPS of an anime

warm garnet
#

Grantee the 970 has more VRAM then the 3050 to

remote kiln
#

970 is more useful than a 3050ti

#

it is a waste of metal

warm garnet
#

Wow I want to return this laptop then lmao

elder palm
warm garnet
#

But it runs all my other games almost perfectly

elder palm
remote kiln
#

it's a laptop "discrete" GPU

ivory canopy
#

I mean, the game did run. But only just.

elder palm
remote kiln
#

the 970 didn't exist in laptop form

#

so it's more powerful by default

elder palm
#

Oh it's a laptop GPU that explains everything

warm garnet
robust vapor
elder palm
#

Pesent

robust vapor
#

Not a good idea to play 2042 on a laptop tbh

remote kiln
#

not everyone has money

#

don't do that to folk

elder palm
#

Peanut

robust vapor
#

I mean yeah but just 2042 mostly

remote kiln
#

hardware is expensive it's not cheap

warm garnet
elder palm
#

Peasant

warm garnet
#

On the amd graphics

#

And I've seen benchmarks with people using my same exact laptop

#

And theirs uses the discrete graphics

#

So like I don't even know anymore

remote kiln
#

it's not a same comparison you can make

elder palm
#

Well

remote kiln
#

it doesn't matter if it's the same laptop

warm garnet
#

Same exact CPU and GPU tho

remote kiln
#

that doesn't matter

elder palm
#

I don't think PS4s are very expensive you can get them for $150

remote kiln
#

your utilisation and software will be very different to everyone else

elder palm
#

Might be able to find an Xbox One for less

remote kiln
#

so it's not going to be the same

ivory canopy
#

My rig is a Frankenstein's monster though.

warm garnet
elder palm
#

I'm going to get a PC soon I got $1,000 worth saved up

ivory canopy
#

Two GPUs, 64 GB of RAM, liquid cooling. It's clearly overbuilt.

remote kiln
#

you're much better off getting a PS5 than that laptop by cost value, but if you don't like consoles then, you'll need to find something else

elder palm
#

My ancient ass laptop is sick of age of mythology

elder palm
remote kiln
#

a lot of stuff

ivory canopy
remote kiln
#

virtualisation etc

ivory canopy
elder palm
#

I don't know what that is though

remote kiln
#

different strokes for different folks, but dual GPU tasks are a niche area

#

not for the common person

elder palm
#

My extent of PC knowledge is how to get 3ds Max working

remote kiln
#

common ones are rocM and CUDA programming and/or other related things

frozen loom
#

I'm finally in the game.

elder palm
#

Oh so we got a smart one here

remote kiln
#

AV1 acceleration etc

frozen loom
#

😄

ivory canopy
remote kiln
elder palm
remote kiln
#

the deeper you go the more they'll be confused

ivory canopy
#

Many CPUs today are capable of virtualization so it can do the double lifting.

elder palm
remote kiln
#

hardware and software is something you can spend years on and still know next to nothing on things.. speaking from experience

ivory canopy
warm garnet
#

@remote kiln so the issue I'm having is from my end?

#

Not with the game itself?

remote kiln
#

correct

elder palm
remote kiln
#

the discrete card doesn't have enough memory is the tldr

remote kiln
#

and your APU GPU isn't powerful enough at all to run the game stable

#

so you're in a catch 22

ivory canopy
#

Mind you, I'm no computer genius by any means. I just read a guide, played around with my rig configuration, and once I was for sure it was gonna work, I wiped my computer and committed to it fully.

elder palm
#

Remind me of that feature on the PS3 3D TV that allows you to play co-op but both players play full screen with one person with a different set of glasses allowing them to see a different image

remote kiln
elder palm
remote kiln
#

virtualisation takes up memory

#

which is why it's there

ivory canopy
#

The RAM is split half-and-half between the host and VM

#

My CPU utilization is split 3:1 favoring the VM

remote kiln
#

because you are separating off segments with virtualisation you cannot pool together the entire amount for both

#

is the long and short

ivory canopy
#

and yes, I get near-to-native performance

remote kiln
#

well you can, but it's hacky, and prone to corruption issues

ivory canopy
#

I did quite a bit of experimentation with it.

warm garnet
#

Could a 1650 run the game then?

ivory canopy
#

Tried switching which GPU goes into which slot

remote kiln
#

no

elder palm
#

@remote kiln
We kind of got carried away here but I asked you earlier what would you like the next battlefield game to look like?

#

I'm interested to see what other people would like

remote kiln
#

er I mean, I have no idea, I care more about the current game being stable than what the next game could be

ivory canopy
#

I'd like to see it have a shitload of content. Maps out the wazoo, weapon options galore, etc.

remote kiln
#

modern, as far what I want

ivory canopy
#

But that said, I expected this of BF2042, and look what we've got

remote kiln
#

@warm garnet what's your budget for a laptop? I'll give you immediate recommendations or you will be here for hours

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

The game released with 22 primary/secondary weapon options.

#

and 7 maps

#

BF2 had more weapon options at launch, and more maps (I think).

elder palm
remote kiln
#

they definitely are

warm garnet
#

I think I just fixed the problem

elder palm
#

I think battlefield 1 handle this the best in terms of how different each weapon was

ivory canopy
warm garnet
#

Oh my god im crying

#

I changed the Uma memory to 2

#

Now the game is using my nvidia processor

ivory canopy
#

But you'd think a sequel to BF4, which had over 100 primary/secondary weapon options, could up the ante on that front...

remote kiln
#

sorry to cut it short and I mean this in the nicest way possible but you didn't solve it

elder palm
# ivory canopy Yeah that's understandable.

I played battlefield 3 for the first time recently because I heard it was a lot of people's favorites and for some reason I had access to all the weapon I really cannot tell the difference between every single of the like 15 assault rifles

remote kiln
#

you are VRAM limited and this will occur again

elder palm
ivory canopy
#

Yea

warm garnet
#

I gotta test it out

ivory canopy
#

What sucks about BF4 is that you need the DLC just to unlock the additional weapons

elder palm
#

Fun fact but battlefield 4 was supposed to come to Wii u

remote kiln
#

yeah sorry to be the bearer of bad news my guy I don't mean to be but best you know

elder palm
#

But they couldn't do it due to limited ram

ebon pilot
warm garnet
#

I just want to run the game without a minimized window with bad quality

robust vapor
#

You gotta know that Deco is doing his best to guide you through

elder palm
robust vapor
#

I mean I got some almost futureproof shit

arctic grove
remote kiln
#

there's nothing I can do to solve this

robust vapor
#

And currently my specs do work fine

remote kiln
#

it's a hardware limitation, I'm just trying to make sure he doesn't get false hope

arctic grove
remote kiln
#

it'll be worse after

robust vapor
#

^

elder palm
remote kiln
#

solvable with a PC probably but laptop is a no go area for a solution

#

only option would be buying a external GPU, and those are more expensive than the laptop he has

ivory canopy
#

BF4 definitely had a fair few weapon pairs that felt nearly the same. That said, some nice standouts available.

robust vapor
#

Desktop GPUs are big chonky wallet size

#

To plug an external GPU tho

elder palm
#

@warm garnet
Wait I actually know a way to solve this problem of yours

remote kiln
#

they're not the discrete GPUs you're thinking of

warm garnet
#

Kinda

ivory canopy
robust vapor
#

Oh so it's not what I thought

remote kiln
#

PC discrete GPUs use the PCIe interface, these ones use the I/O slot (aka USB)

elder palm
robust vapor

💀

arctic grove
#

“Less is more” isn’t real when it comes to video game content tbh and I’ve always said that, it’s not like 2042 ARs aren’t largely similar as well besides the SFAR and rm68 just being…. Objectively too good

ivory canopy
#

I find the RM68 to be great

#

But I feel preferential to the AM40

elder palm
remote kiln
#

the game is fatally flawed with it's content amount by its own design, it'll never be solved, but that's where we are

next onyx
arctic grove
#

I don’t play tf2 so I can’t personally say much about that although it’s definitely balanced around a different design

ivory canopy
#

All my RAM slots are filled.

#

SCAR and M16 feel great but the VHS is growing on me.

gloomy wyvern

#

By the way.

elder palm
next onyx
#

How's the m1 working out for you?

remote kiln
#

I'd love to use my own machine but I'd be unemployed instantly if I tried

vague horizon
#

is breakthrough dead or something cus theres no way servers arent filling up properly with a bunch of people on rn

remote kiln
next onyx
#

I dunno where to ask in regards to M1 but versus a work laptop. How does it stand as one?

austere finch
#

every time I try and press play on battlefield, it keeps validating and I can't play the game

gloomy wyvern
remote kiln
#

as a work one it's best in class for price

#

for laptops anyways

next onyx
#

It's ARM therefore power efficient as fuck.

remote kiln
#

isn't due to ARM

next onyx
#

Well it isn't inherint.

#

But I mean.

#

I've heard it's super efficient.

remote kiln
#

the SOC is custom designed by apple is the reason

next onyx
#

I wonder if ARM motherboards will be a thing.

remote kiln
#

ARM don't make hardware

#

they provide ISAs for CPUs and GPUs

next onyx
#

One piece hardware then.

#

Goddamn tired.

#

Does the VHS remind anyone of the MTAR in a way?

remote kiln
#

it wouldn't be in their interests to design a motherboard architecture even if they wanted to anyways so meh

elder palm
remote kiln
next onyx
#

Nah 2042 MTAR.

#

A full sized Tavor would be cool to see though.

remote kiln
#

that MTAR yeah it feels very similar in design execution

frozen loom
#

Irish + VCAR is so good in the new map.

er if you don't have the afterburner then you need to disengage where possible

most jet pilots are ass so there's certain stuff you can do to lose them on your tail

delicate fulcrum
#

So you’re telling me I engage for only 2 seconds at a time, then all other times I just what run away?

remote kiln
#

no, you need to adapt to using your afterburners as conservatively as possible

#

you'll be too used to using it for everything

#

use your map and situational awareness to know when to use them, e.g. if there's aircraft such as a jet or not, and prioritize accordingly

elder palm
#

I was only ever good at piloting in battlefield 1

remote kiln
#

jet dogfighting is much more than "who shoots who", map knowledge and team positioning are critical

#

just going in blind to kill the other pilot will end up with you getting slaughtered by an attack heli anti AA or something else more often than not

warm garnet
#

Ultra settings with dlss quality I average around 66-80 fps

#

shrug I'll take that

delicate fulcrum
#

The method I usually go with is I know for sure, if the other pilot knows what they’re doing, you both use the afterburner the moment you get in a turn fight, do of course try and get the better turn to start the engagement.

But my only issue is what to do when you’re waiting for it to recharge. Is it better to use it in bursts, or wait for it to full replenish. I need to wait for one of the big dogs like Silk or someone to make a video on it. I’m hopping on an air superiority portal server rn just to give it a go.

remote kiln
#

yes you need to use it in bursts

#

you gain tighter turns from burst usage than full draining, and the other guy will by default behaviour use it all, so you gain the advantage

delicate fulcrum
#

So you’re saying once you start the engagement, don’t use it all up? Just use bits at a time to remain with boost always in the tank?

elder palm
#

This turret is useless what's the point of having it if it doesn't even do anything and the buff of standing beside it barely does anything and it kind of goes against the whole idea of a turret. if there's a person near it and I have to be near my turret I might as well shoot him and kill him much faster

delicate fulcrum
#

I get what you’re saying actually

remote kiln
arctic nest
#

alr so whats the secret to playing this game well? because u can literally engage combat from across the map. theres almost no skill involved, besides controlling the non existent recoil

remote kiln
#

so when you burst you get to stack those

#

not many folk are aware of that, it's a bit strange to get used to, but you'll get it eventually

#

the aim of the game with dogfighting is attrition, not trying to kill them immediately, keep that in mind and you'll win engagements more often than not

do you not have smoke grenades?

i dont know how to get them

i just

and get squashed everytime

remote kiln
#

I assume you've just started playing, play as support and recon, it's unlocked at level 1 and is the default grenade for it

remote kiln
#

blindly running in and shooting doesn't work in battlefield, you'll need to learn about different engagement opportunities

#

terrain and cover are critical, you won't get away with just being able to laser people point blank like in COD

ive officially quit mw2

and

battlefiled i just redownloaded earlier today

#

played like 3 games

#

won once

urban skiff
#

Honestly the ttk is faster in 2042 then it is in mw3 beta

remote kiln
#

if you don't want to die behind walls, then play modes with low playercounts like TDM where the tick rate doesn't deviate, but it's something that happens in all games unfortunately

#

not something you can avoid entirely

delicate fulcrum
#

Here’s what I found:

434kph - Afterburner max speed
391kph - No afterburner max speed
324kph - Turn Speed afterburner
254kph - Turn Speed no afterburner

If you want infinite boost you’re gonna hover around 265kph, boosting a bit then waiting to refill again what you just used.

Found a good middle ground is holding about 280kph, you can get two and a bit full spins in before running out of boost if you try to maintain that speed.

If on console atleast, I noticed using hold instead of toggle for the boost was useful, allowed you to easily pulse the boost and not need to let go of the throttle each time to deactivate it.

Standard issue or high power for the gew

remote kiln
#

err

depends

untold nova
#

I wish there were a definite answer for these things, it’s not like MW where there’s a single setup for each gun

remote kiln
#

well that's why you've got the attachment system

#

adjust to different engagements

#

only thing you don't need to care about is using suppressors they suck so you can avoid those

untold nova
#

Really?

#

Did the update nerf them that bad?

remote kiln
#

they got changed in season 6 and are terrible now so unless they get changed again you can avoid them all

#

or unless you're specifically using subsonic ammo the heavy suppressor can be used

#

but that's the only situation

untold nova
#

I’ll avoid all of them then except maybe the wrapped on the acw cuz it looks cool and recoil is fine

sage totem
#

honestly 32 v 32 was better

#

64 v 64 is just ai

remote kiln
#

I'd say you're compromising your weapon but if you want it for looks fine by me

untold nova
#

Meh

#

Bullet velocity on that gun doesn’t really matter for me

Anyway high power or standard for the gew on redacted

#

shame acwr doesn't have subsonic ammo

#

redacted high power

untold nova
#

Vertical or horizontal recoil compensation

#

I forget the pattern honestly

remote kiln
#

always vertical compensation

#

One more: am40 or gew on redacted

remote kiln
#

again depends

#

if it was locker it would be the gew for everything but redacted not that simple

copper fulcrum
#

Do you wear depends?

remote kiln
#

gew for most situations I suppose works more

untold nova
#

Yeah hipfire is better on the am40 but the gew gets more headshots

remote kiln
#

the issue is the flag layouts means there's extended distance engagements in certain sections for redacted, just be wary of where you're engaging from

untold nova
#

Got it

#

Also now that suppressors don’t matter I’m gonna use high power on the gew most of the time

#

If I want fire rate I’ll use the am40

remote kiln
#

they don't matter for now, just be mindful that it could change very soon

#

I'd be surprised if it doesnt

ok so

best settings for controller

aim assist tuning under the settings

it's less than 96 hours since it was added so there's no optimal one right now, battlefield 3's curve though was well overpowered so probably that

Reclaimed, while being a good map
