battlefield-2042

[wintry rune]

Yea i was suprised it was fun to use

Im not that much of lmg fan but i enjoyed it too

[kindred flint]

Why wouldn't it be? Final weapon in the it's going to be broken at launch

[patent path]

it's just a normal lmg

[chilly jacinth]

lgm ar hybrid

[vocal tusk]

It plays a bit like the AK24 IMO

Ive only tried standard and heavy ammo yet tho. Subsonic is usually similar to standard tho, and armored piercing is usually just terrible

[pine roost]

not sure how long it'll take to get but I'm keen to try out the bomber

[hazy shard]

You can access both the bomber and gun in the new mode without unlocking it, also have full access to the attachment’s

[chilly jacinth]

its only 40 ribbons to get

[hazy shard]

West coast US servers are sadly unpopulated for control unlocked :/ keep getting in 4 person lobbies

[sharp drum]

seriously can i get a refund on battlefield 2042 if i have more than 2 hour playtime

[patent path]

no

[sharp drum]

i need a creative negative review idea

[vocal tusk]

Average steam user moment

[patent path]

"2042 is now in a relationship with my mother and I do not like that one bit!"

[sharp drum]

i'm orphan

[vocal tusk]

"I was too stupid to refund a game i didnt like within the trial period"

[sharp drum]

no problem is i did like at the time

[chilly jacinth]

you can still try to get a refund even past the 2hr period

[next onyx]

Dude

[vocal tusk]

So why would you negative review a game you have played, and liked

[sharp drum]

glad its not about money its about sending a message

[next onyx]

This matchmaking

[vocal tusk]

Average OCE moment?

lol

[sharp drum]

because at the time i was smoking

[next onyx]

durr hurr original

no

[naive ember]

Stuck with us bud

[next onyx]

Fucking Steve can't find a game.

[sharp drum]

now i'm a normal individual

everything is fine and healthy with my life

[next onyx]

Guys let's make quick match mandatory and NOT provide a server browser. uwu bad luck can't find a game.

[vocal tusk]

So youre sayng that youre actions while doing drugs are the problems of others

[sharp drum]

i was so high i remember i was only driving air vehicles

[chilly harbor]

So is east coast, I can't even get into any lobby even empty

Just stuck searching

I can get plenty of empty conquest servers thoufh

Lol

[dawn cedar]

its just throwing me into empty lobies also

[vocal tusk]

"My bad decisions have caught up with me, dont do drugs kids"

[dawn cedar]

i think somethings fucked with matchmaking

[chilly harbor]

It's been doing this to me for like 2 days I think it's just cuz the games dead and their SSBM tbh

[sharp drum]

"i was on drugs thats why i have spent 250 hours in this game, ---

i need the rest

[dawn cedar]

i was playing just fine all yesterday

[vocal tusk]

There not being enough players to satify a matchmaker is going to be a running problem from here onwards

[dawn cedar]

20,000 people isnt enough for matchmaking? cmon now

[patent path]

80 ribbons for the new gun

[vocal tusk]

20k now. What will it be in 6 months with zero content?

[dawn cedar]

then the remaining people migrate to portal?

[vocal tusk]

They wont

[sharp drum]

make it 19,999

because i quit

wait do i have link perms

[dawn cedar]

aint an airport, congrats tho

[sharp drum]

Thanks i hope you guys can beat the drugs aswell

[patent path]

I do a little spawn camping

[dawn cedar]

they new jet has the damage profile of the old 30mm's

:^)

requires tons of kills for its unlocks tho

[untold flower]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/cowhidesugar/overview

@glacial quarry

average asian player

[patent path]

there's a weekly challenge that requires the TOR tank but nobody is using it

[untold flower]

(they cant live without cheating)

[kindred flint]

Hard coded?

[dusty sparrow]

How do you evade missiles with the draugr?

[vocal tusk]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dawn cedar]

you dont, its high risk high reward

[willow sky]

thats the neat part, you dont XD

[odd imp]

is it just me or game crashes all the time after the update

[dreamy topaz]

Do the specialists have identical hitboxes? Seems like their models have huge size differences

[chilly jacinth]

theyre the same

[kindred flint]

Dice literally fat shaming??? Time to boycott Sony

[drowsy shuttle]

Are you hitbox shaming some specialists?

How many of you nerds have already t1 the new AR/LMG?

[next onyx]

I haven't been able to use it as much.

[wide shore]

80 ribbons is a lot

[chilly jacinth]

havent gotten it yet

[next onyx]

You get it instantly on control.

[chilly jacinth]

its too hot outside and inside to be gaming

[wide shore]

???

[chilly jacinth]

but ye you can use the jet and lmg in the event mode

[next onyx]

You get it instantly there.

All the attachments.

[hard lagoon]

80 ribbons is a lot especially when you cant even get into a game

[next onyx]

The match making is broken even in the US.

[drowsy shuttle]

What they broke this time?

[chilly jacinth]

i always get sent to high ping servers for awhile after a new update drops

[wide shore]

It’s bugged? Lol

[hard lagoon]

at least you get sent into servers :(

[dawn cedar]

no thats literally part of it

[next onyx]

No it's intentional Poetic.

Plus Arizona this was a few hours ago.

It's really hard to find matches now.

Tomorrow I'll be good.

[wide shore]

[dawn cedar]

i restarted my game and instanty got game

[wide shore]

So you can use them in the mode, but you only unlock it after 80 ribbons

[dawn cedar]

yo the ground radar on the new jet is SO OP LMFAO

spots every ground vehicle in like a 600m radius

[chilly jacinth]

ye

[wide shore]

That’s… weird

How is the new LMG?

[next onyx]

It's an m5 practically.

I need to test it out a little more.

[robust vapor]

happyd0knoise

[dawn cedar]

hard to use on day maps

cockpit zoom is thermal and hard to see on some maps

[next onyx]

It doesn't need a thermal.

The bomber sight should not have thermals.

[dawn cedar]

id highly suggest fighting ai till 180 kills on it for the JCM's

[untold flower]

@robust vapor still playing?

[robust vapor]

testing out the draugyr in solo first

[untold flower]

ok i wanna get some helo kills in

[quaint vector]

Let's Goooo, I can Tier 1 it now..

[lucid portal]

is 2042 worth playing, i have gamepass

or should i play battlefield 1

[dusty sparrow]

How are you already done?

[dawn cedar]

go spot a bunch of shit

for ribbons

[lucid portal]

i think ill just play battlefield 1, it seems better

[quaint vector]

Just played few rounds of Control + BT

[dusty sparrow]

seems like anything else except control counts

dosent*

[dawn cedar]

it does

[quaint vector]

Any official game mode

[lucid portal]

how active is bf1?

[dawn cedar]

this aint tech support lil bro

[lucid portal]

im not asking for tech support, im asking if bf1 is active or dead

[candid fulcrum]

its active

[lucid portal]

ic

is 2042 better than 1?

[candid fulcrum]

well

last time i played 2042 was open beta

so I can't say anything objective

[lucid portal]

which one do you usually play then?

[candid fulcrum]

I prefer BF1 and BF4 to most games

[lucid portal]

hmm

[naive arrow]

can anyone help me get the clean exit achievment real quick?

its the hazard zone one

[untold flower]

@robust vapor gtg sleepy time

[robust vapor]

same

[wary marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/futurama-bender-bender-bending-rodriguez-madman-hes-a-madman-gif-22638073

[robust vapor]

sh0rk

[slate rampart]

anyone else keeps getting "game ended all players disconnected" error?

literally impossible to play a match at all

[pine roost]

personally, yes. But it depends on what parts of the game you like the most

so, gimme the deets. What does the jet have

[kindred flint]

So 6.6 matches of full ribbons?

[pine roost]

ew what are those thermals

if anything it makes it harder to see

[dusty sparrow]

how about adding so the ribbon progress appears in CQ too?

instead of only in CT

[dusty sparrow]

thrusters

[chrome hazel]

Belt fed m416😂

[kindred flint]

Hey it's been a thing for a while

[dire hawk]

who noticed that there are persistent servers on the new close combat conquest playlist ? (haven't tried normal conquest yet)

[vocal tusk]

they had it for week one of frontlines also. Hopefully working out the kinks for a full all mode integration

No

[arctic grove]

man idk why I’m having a very hard time using guns in this game

they feel so light

[vocal tusk]

Use the right gun for the right map. SFAR for more damage/range, AM40 for upclose/medium...AK5C for a mix.

Barrel and grip also matter a lot for weapon behavior

[next onyx]

No frontlines is back

But its justb

In an obscure tab.

[arctic grove]

I hit the enemy with the hollow fucking purple (Underbarrel launcher)

[dire hawk]

it is actually

[patent pivot]

more like limited time event

[dusty sparrow]

It's in portal mode

[ember field]

how do i get them rocket launcher thingys cuz like i cant do shit against tanks

[ebon pilot]

play an engineer specialist

[naive quiver]

Get close to the tank and place three C5s before pressing the button

[chilly jacinth]

placing 2 c4s on the engine blows em up

[arctic grove]

the draugr is

Embarrassingly weak

I understand balance and all but this thing can’t kill much :<

[dreamy topaz]

the 3p zoom on it is awful

[arctic grove]

I was expecting more of a carpet bomber

[vocal tusk]

Do you have all the bombs and the 30mm?

[arctic grove]

not a Piss Bomb dropper

[arctic grove]

Yuh

The last bomb style is the best one ig

The incendiary one is very mid

For something that spreads fire it sure runs out of fire really quickly

[pine roost]

How does it compare to say, the trench bomber?

[arctic grove]

the bomber from BFV?

Weaker 💀, probably would lose a dogfight against it

[dreamy topaz]

I have no idea why anyone would use this when the jet exists

[arctic grove]

Oh I Still will

I bought this game for air vehicles I was pretty satisfied with the horun and Hannibal until they got nerfed to nothingness

Wdym the strongest air vehicle is a night bird not the Heavily equipped Attack and stealth helicopters

BUT infantry couldn’t really do much against Stealth heli so I ain’t gon bitch bout it :< (LISSIOE EXISTS NEVERMIND)

[sonic bramble]

will AI conquest count towards the Draugr ribbons?

[arctic grove]

no :[

[pine roost]

Bf1

Ye old piss bomber

[arctic grove]

I strongly believe

[sonic bramble]

rip

[arctic grove]

The trench bomber would beat the draugr

[sonic bramble]

how long do we have to earn the ribbons?

[arctic grove]

In a DOGFIGHT

[arctic grove]

forever lol this was the last update for this game

[pine roost]

Well yeah it would, the trench bomber is a fighter variant

[sonic bramble]

on the one hand good thing we have time on the other hand its the last update

[arctic grove]

My apologies I think there is one more event

before this game is dropped :[

[arctic grove]

100+ years of R&D

and it loses a dogfight against basically it’s grandpa

😭

[sonic bramble]

thats

worse

[pine roost]

Well I wouldn’t expect it to do well in a dogfight

It’s not really its purpose, I’m just asking about the potency of its bombs in comparison

[arctic grove]

okay so

It drops ONE bomb

Which is about as strong and has as much range as a HAND GRENADE

[robust vapor]

Hype flushed down the drain

Xd

[arctic grove]

For real :[ I actually re-downloaded for it

[pine roost]

Well I’m glad it’s not overly busted at least

[arctic grove]

make it at least something man

this is like throwing a Hand Grenade in style

[pine roost]

They could potentially give it similar firepower to the trench fighter, that’s felt like the most balanced bomber style weapon I’ve played with

[arctic grove]

The Armor it has

Has a REALLY cool animation

like the panels turn on making it invisible

[pine roost]

Well, time to start the grind to get it

[kindred flint]

im so sparked with joy right now..

[arctic grove]

“Ay boss what bombs do we add?” “Water balloons”

[dawn cedar]

Which are you using

If you are talking about the default emp, then no shit it's an emp

[dusty sparrow]

seem like th e draugr is bugged if you die in 1st person

[fast dirge]

Is there a new event or naw?

[dusty sparrow]

only if you want the new weapon and vehicle

[fast dirge]

Better than nothing ig

[arctic grove]

I’ve tried 1 3 4 not the 2nd one yet since it’s literally Anti Tank missiles

[spare quest]

soon

[dawn cedar]

I've had no issues killing with jdam and napalm

[fast dirge]

Wasn't there an event planned for this month? When does it start.

[spare quest]

June iirc

[fast dirge]

Found the roadmap, it says "May - June"

[dawn cedar]

The agm does 36-42 damage single shot, 1 missile. It's pretty good

[arctic grove]

I just find it weak since the infinite loop of repair and thermal smoke exists

[pine roost]

If the jdams behave at all like bf4’s I’ll be very happy

[green violet]

Are all portal servers down? Been hours now and all servers are 0/whatever players

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/ArmoredKill/status/1790425432791142417?s=19

[dawn cedar]

You can dumb fire them, it's gonna be really hard to strafe into climb to drop the bomb since no target screen

[pine roost]

Ah I’m sure it won’t take too long to learn

[green violet]

Are portal servers working just fine for everyone else

[chilly jacinth]

[pine roost]

And were we right in assuming beforehand that you can call it in through your Idroid… I mean tablet

[chilly jacinth]

everytime he dies to a wildcat he gets a mental breakdown

[pine roost]

Can’t make a video from it

[arctic grove]

“Guys the DRAUGR is insane” video coming up

from jackfrags or someone lol

[pine roost]

‘2042 just added an INSANE new vehicle’

[arctic grove]

“DICE just redeemed themselves!”

[robust vapor]

Scamfrags

[dire salmon]

After an unspecified number of hours I finally got support T1
Man I love getting achievements of how much I waste my life on games

[dawn cedar]

Can't wait for the typical hate videos from certain people because those are what gets engagement on YouTube these days

[elder lake]

“2042 is so AMAZING in 2024”

[dawn cedar]

To some people nothing makes them more upset than seeing others have fun with something they dislike 😂

[vocal tusk]

Engagement hate bait isnt a good way to grow as a channel tho. That's why those channels have next to no growth versus what they should have on the platform.

I speak from experience here lol

[dawn cedar]

If 99% of the video is hate but you make a few remarks on something that's good they just spin it as being critical

[spare pasture]

The draugr Is fun

[dawn cedar]

It is, it is more high risk high reward, since it's very easy to kill

[dire salmon]

I still have to unlock it lol

Or maybe I did and I don’t know

[spare pasture]

I think it’ll be easy to kill by normal fighters when it’s not cloaked

[pine roost]

Can’t wait to try out its cloaking

[spare pasture]

Control is still fun

[pine roost]

But it’ll probably take a little while to unlock and there are multiple uni presentations to prepare :(

[spare pasture]

The answer? Become a famous singer in an hour

[dawn cedar]

Takes like 2 hours to unlock

Go Casper and just spam spot people with drone

[spare pasture]

Do you get ribbons for your combat and stuff or just from the normal ribbons

[vocal tusk]

Can probably do it faster if you dont mind leaving the games once you have the easy ribbons

[uneven ibex]

Battlefield (@Battlefield) ✧

Need some time to unlock the new gear in #Battlefield 2042?

You can take the XFAD-4 Draugr aerial bomber, and the DFR Strife out for a spin in Control Unlocked 🔓and Air Superiority 🚁

Check out this week's #Battlefield Portal modes 👇

𝕏 · May 14, 2024, 6:00 PM

[vocal tusk]

Like join and spot as casper, then swap to falck and resupply ...once done, leave round, rinse repeat. Probably take 20-30 mins

[pine roost]

Even though I want to get it done, I’m not touching Casper

[vocal tusk]

Its too easy to not use him hehe

[dawn cedar]

Nah with matchmaking being bugged it is sketchy

Maybe after it gets fixed

[vocal tusk]

I live in central EU, so not an issue thankfully.

Wish this game had region selection tho, it really sucks for some regions to struggle so much

[arctic grove]

2042 is my first and last battlefield

See ya all on frickin Terraria or something

[pine roost]

It’ll get better I’m sure

[arctic grove]

I’ll buy the next one when it’s 3$ on steam

[sullen mulch]

daily reminder Battlefront 2 died because of this game

[sturdy lily]

damn, nobody played the event

i have gone into 4 rooms and it's only me

[plush echo]

We miss easy ones but make these

[dawn cedar]

Bf2 was a p2w nightmare anyway

[sullen mulch]

They killed the game once they removed p2w

[dawn cedar]

Yeah, no way to monetize it anymore afterwards, just ate the cost and moved on

[royal swan]

bruh bomber aint on hourglass

[oak sedge]

Wait I'm dumb, I don't have to get ribbons in Control exclusively to unlock the new stuff right

[stone cradle]

yes

[spare pasture]

Not after 2018

[lament plank]

Ah cool. Control on Arica harbour is super fun when you just allow an AA to sit in the back and mow down the helicopters you put on the map. Funny how they can take helicopters off other Arica harbour modes but then FORGET to take them off on this mode. Love it.

[vocal tusk]

use Lis and kill it fast.

They cant use APS to camp anymore

[lament plank]

Yeeeaaaah they are gonna hit me out of the sky before it’ll get there. And with the anti vehicle missile nerf today good luck killing one. Stupidest nerf. 95% of my time in attack chopper has ZERO GUNNER because no squad mates spawn in it.

Should be reverted to BF4 where if you’re in uncap anyone can spawn on you.

[vocal tusk]

They cant look up, just come at them from high

[lament plank]

Yeah. That doesn’t solve the overall problem.

If all other versions of that map don’t have the helicopters why does this mode?

[vocal tusk]

What versions of Arica dont have helis?

[ebon pilot]

Is the only way to counter a jet sweat a decent wildcat?

[vocal tusk]

Or Lis

[ebon pilot]

Lis can't catch a jet

even full boost it's not fast enough

[chilly jacinth]

you have to catch them in a dive

[vocal tusk]

they can wait for a straife tho, and jets dont have the manoeverability to dodge

[chilly jacinth]

or a turn

aka almost never

[wanton cipher]

can someone give me some begineer tips for a begineer to bf2042

thanks

[vocal tusk]

Or a LATV with AA cannon.

[ebon pilot]

AA cannon is just a minor annoyance

like it feels weird that the soflam rocket combo just isn't viable against a decent jet

[obtuse quiver]

Is there any way to mute this massive nerd constantly yapping in my ear telling me the obvious *** happening in the game?

[chilly jacinth]

yes

[obtuse quiver]

👀 wait how

[chilly jacinth]

do you know how to report someone

[obtuse quiver]

Oh I mean mr.goldfish voice over man 😛

It's cool but like... Omg, it's headache inducing when there's maps with a lot happening

[ebon pilot]

mr goldfish voice over man?

the commander?

it's this one

[chilly jacinth]

imagine looking in the settings for 0.1 sec

[obtuse quiver]

Okay, but imagine thinking people could miss a setting in a list of like hundreds of settings. Anyway, thanks for help (also W game for actually having that option. 🙂 ). 🤣

[chilly jacinth]

its literally the first thing you see when you click on SOUND

[acoustic seal]

its the third option down in the tab...

[obtuse quiver]

🤷‍♂️ well, I still somehow missed it. So what happened did just happen and I am thankful for someone helping me find it. 🙂

[acoustic seal]

so i'm stuck at work, did the mackay changes do nothing or do nothing?

im guessing they did nothing

[ebon pilot]

nah they made it so everyone gets a super high jump

they never saw it coming

[chrome hazel]

What the hell

[vocal tusk]

Someone placed an irish APS at the same time they stood on that spot

[drowsy shuttle]

Do you have to play control to get the ribbons?

[spare quest]

no

infantry breakthrough is fast ribbon grind

[drowsy shuttle]

Oh frontlines is back!

On the other hand Dice making me call rangers like a scrub

[lucid dragon]

Does anyone else play on console, I need to understand if it’s just me who finds playing against PC players to be a challenging experience

On any game that has cross play between console and PC

[chilly jacinth]

me waiting for DICEs permission to shoot

so annoying that you can basically shoot the rpg the instant you change to it

and with m5 you have to wait the entire shouldering animation

[acoustic seal]

i guess you might have a case for other games but the avg battlefield pc player is like, .7 kd with .3 kpm

and the farmers barely want to play cuz the input is still buggy

[lucid dragon]

Fair

I just have an inferiority complex at this point, even if I win over a PC player I feel the innate urge to argue they had an unfair advantage

[kindred flint]

oh my god that gun looks so broken balanced

[lucid dragon]

I’m not good at video games

[acoustic seal]

the best pubstomper i've run into is some guy named teasin on xbox so i'm going to have to call skill issue unfortunately

[next onyx]

Console Aim assist isn't as strong as other titles.

It's usually what carrys roller.

[jovial furnace]

Definitely, tho, for me it’s also a skill issue 😂

[merry crypt]

Only challenging when it has to do with precise aim

[next onyx]

Don't feel bad.

[acoustic seal]

snap AA is still really strong, its just not cod autorotation levels of blatant cheating

[naive quiver]

hmm cool

[patent pivot]

More like

[drowsy shuttle]

Lol

[opaque light]

what is this, and how can I get it?

[drowsy shuttle]

By paying

[atomic sluice]

how do i get the draugr fast

[chilly jacinth]

by playing recon and medic

[atomic sluice]

which gamemodes

[chilly jacinth]

getting all ribbons possible for both

then leaving

bt or the event mode

[ebon pilot]

but the event mode doesn't have jets

so the draugr isn't available

[dreamy topaz]

Wow the draugr has no countermeasures at all against incoming missiles

[chilly jacinth]

?

yes it does

[vocal tusk]

Not all maps do, but some have them, its true

[ebon pilot]

apparently every match i played was on the maps without it

[vocal tusk]

Plus you can immediately play it in air superiority, all vehicles are unlocked there

[chilly jacinth]

classic

[naive quiver]

Amex.exe

[atomic sluice]

this shit so grindey

for a plane that aint good from what it looks like

[chilly jacinth]

it took me like 1hr

[dreamy topaz]

What's even the point of the camo?

[chilly jacinth]

to get 80 ribbons

[dreamy topaz]

It does nothing

[chilly jacinth]

you cant get locked on if people cant see you

[dreamy topaz]

I'm just testing in sp so maybe the bots are cheating but they most definitely lock on

[chilly jacinth]

yes the bots are cheating

its effective against actual humans

[atomic sluice]

the new plane is goofy

[kindred flint]

what did you expect

[atomic sluice]

and they removed rush xl 😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

[patent pivot]

jezus

what are they currently doing with the app

[drowsy shuttle]

That was smart release control and frontlines at the same time.. now there's AI constantly in both modes cause player base are split

[chilly jacinth]

both terrible modes that noone should play anyways

[kindred flint]

jfc this team almost threw against bots

57-15 isnt bad for the first match with a new gun..

[placid echo]

I had a similar experience, but I don't know whether I like Belt-Fed or Magazine instead

[kindred flint]

90 standard goes by quick

if my guy would stop lifting the feed tray every time we could knock this reload down more

[vocal tusk]

Its very good with a laser.

Hip fire seems pretty decent

[kindred flint]

i was trying with BCG

and warhawk

[oak sedge]

is it just me or are the servers bad right now

[kindred flint]

the end of my match i was noticing some lag...but didnt see any of the usual icons indicating that and my ping was fine

[azure knot]

anyone got the good hud peripheral/center icon opacity settings

its almost perfect except it will hide teammate dots with the main settings

[patent pivot]

whats the benefit of spring grenade? To damage enemies from behind cover?

[chilly jacinth]

random @ moment

[azure knot]

oh yeah mb

[chilly jacinth]

basically impossible to throw back

and that

[kindred flint]

i was below the breakaway cat walk on the ice...threw a spring up, and then a massive time later saw it come down on the opposite side of me then spring up and explode guess those have no fuse

[dreamy topaz]

Also nope, players can lock on just fine through the cloak

[ionic gale]

There is no reason not to run belt-fed, you have 270 rounds with standard, but only ~130 with both magazines. So even with standard being the best ammo choice, you shouldn't run out, especially since you pick up 45 with every kill and get 180 if you ran over a crate. I did some wallsprays betwen the belts and mags and saw no difference in spread or recoil either. That is just a cosmetic gimmick.

[kindred flint]

that seems like a real lack of ammo for mags lol

as it is 3 belts? also seems pretty low.. i guess with 200 round belts you only get 1 extra but thats 400 still

[ionic gale]

standard and subsonic have 90 round belts, AP and HP have 70. Mags are 21 HP, 31 SS, 31 ST and 41 ST extended.

[kindred flint]

20 round HP mag seems pretty hilarious for.....an LMG thats just a big AR

[dreamy topaz]

I'm warming up to the JDAM, it's hilarious doing 80 damage to a wildcat out of nowhere

[chilly jacinth]

90 round subsonics sounds interesting to run

[dreamy topaz]

So weird that draugr has absolutely no countermeasures against stingers though

you just have to eat them

[lament plank]

Wow I sure love watching my ranger sit there, looking at the guy who killed me, as he reloads his LMG and doesn’t shoot a single shot at him.

[chilly jacinth]

its too busy looking at people through walls

[drowsy shuttle]

Wtf they did to g428?

[dreamy topaz]

it's in the bin, use bsvm or svk instead

[drowsy shuttle]

Holy shit

[lament plank]

If only there was walls, not an open field with bushes.

[chilly jacinth]

theres bound to be some walls somewhere on the map

[vocal tusk]

The bomber basicaly has ECM jammer, you pop it before the lock happens to break it, and stop more locks

[pine roost]

From what Eddie has been saying, it’s meant to be more of a get in, get out type vehicle, to draw a really poor comparison - like the killstreaks in cod. You get in one to focus on a specific target but you don’t go the whole match in one. Not without opposition anyway

[dreamy topaz]

the jammer does nothing to stingers

also nothing to missiles already in flight

[vocal tusk]

Yes, because youre using it wrong, no?

You use it before it locks on

[dreamy topaz]

No, I pop it as soon as I hear the lock-on prompt

not missile incoming like flares

it does NOT prevent stingers

[vocal tusk]

I have yet to be hit by a lock on while this is in use

[pine roost]

It’s just vehicle weapons it ignores

[vocal tusk]

Maybe, thats pretty stupid if so, considering you already have below radar

[vocal tusk]

But...why?

lol

[vocal tusk]

So its just a worse A-10 then

[dreamy topaz]

JDAM is amazing though, you can launch one at a wildcat outside their effective range

all of its primarys suck though

[pine roost]

I’m excited to try out its JDAM

[ebon pilot]

probably why there's only one available at a time

[pine roost]

But the requirement to pre jam and use the cloaking then sort of forces you to time your strafes with the cooldown, which in theory could help with readability if you are an infantry and know the cooldowns

Although I’ve yet to properly play around it. Getting an early night to hopefully get it done tomorrow

[vocal tusk]

JDAMS can be dumbfired also, right?

[pine roost]

What’s that third equipment item?

[dreamy topaz]

they're dumbfired yes but they still lock on when they get close

[pine roost]

Bit like a gbu?

[dreamy topaz]

kinda like the smart rockets or w/e

[pine roost]

How big is that cone of targetting in front of it?

Would it be likely that a bomb aimed at infantry might just veer off and hit a tank

[dreamy topaz]

It probably would, it's also awful against infantry

very small blast radius

[pine roost]

And the kerosine ones?

[dreamy topaz]

Also not great, a bit better against infantry but does literally 0 damage against armor

[pine roost]

And what about those equipment slots? The last one looks new

[acoustic seal]

if long survivability is a problem, it's probably balanced like shit and needs to go back to the drawing board

but we knew that from the concept so

[pine roost]

At least it ain’t no muramets

[dreamy topaz]

the jammer is new yea, it's basically an on-demand below radar

[pine roost]

I mean the other one

The CIX thing

[dreamy topaz]

that's the camo, makes you invisible but can't be used if damaged and won't stop lock-ons

[pine roost]

Oh I assumed it would be a default unlock

[dreamy topaz]

it breaks immediately if you fire or get damaged too

[pine roost]

How good is the cloak

[dreamy topaz]

the other two suck so it's the best option, good for sneaking up on armor

[pine roost]

I also can’t stop thinking of this guy whenever I hear its name

I’d have more questions but honestly they’ll be answered when I just spend the day trying to get it

Got too much of a headache to do it today :(

[dreamy topaz]

jets are still much better but there's something hilarious about deleting a wildcat instantly with jdam + HE cannons

[vocal tusk]

I wonder can the JDAM lock onto designated targets with dart pistol

[next onyx]

It's a soflam so it can.

[vocal tusk]

lol, that has some meme potential

[kindred flint]

about 38 ribbons in and i want to uninstall myself already this mode is horrible all over again

[dreamy topaz]

you don't need to play a specific mode

[kindred flint]

i want to abuse the lmg

the fucking matches just coming down to that 1 last point at the end makes it so annoying

when your team can go from holding it all down and then suddenly forgetting how to play...and arica final point being absolute shit

[wary oak]

I bumped into a bug with the XFAD-4 when you change the loadout of it in the vehicle selection the camera goes beneath the map when you spawn in with the changed loadout and the camera doesn't follow the plane only shows the camera being underground but i did find a work around though just go to collections and change the loadout that way so it doesn't bug out the camera. I hope this has already been mentioned.

Xbox Series X by the way

[acoustic seal]

i'm supposed to get kills with the tor tank but i'm 3 for 3 on some idiot immediately spawning in and shooting the secondary gun at something it can't damage

locking vehicles is toxic tho

[pine roost]

Looks like the bf4 bomb strat could be rather effective with the bomber, those 20s look solid

[wary oak]

plus the fact the Draugr has thermal as well

Thermal Vision

[patent path]

#general message

[pine roost]

That’s not pretty

[lament plank]

Great. Attack chopper is now useless because oh boo hoo competent gunner pilot teams could kill vehicles to easy. But now solo pilots can’t kill anything. Great job dice.

[pine roost]

Made me type in general for the first time though lol

[dusty sparrow]

Also happens if you crash while sitting in the cab view

[chilly harbor]

anyone figure out the stats for the new lmg yet?

[kindred flint]

it kills

[chilly harbor]

[next onyx]

From what I've gathered it's a stock standard m5 with lots of range.

[chilly harbor]

wait bruh how does this shit have less players on steam rn than squad

LMAO

[next onyx]

290 ms ttk means that it won't kill as well closer up but it had the range to back it up.

Bit too beamy though.

[chilly harbor]

?

[dusty sparrow]

Howdy

[acoustic seal]

🤷‍♂️ game sucks man, it went from 120k at launch to 2k just 3 months later

[chilly harbor]

yea honestly i got on to try the new lmg

i unlocked it

wound up quitting before finishing 1 game

lol

[acoustic seal]

worst part is that people are gonna be saying it was an underrated masterpiece within 2 release cycles

[ivory canopy]

I won't

No matter how good this game got, it peaked nowhere close to BF1

[robust vapor]

i hope the cam bug gets fixed man

annoying

[chilly dove]

Are they going to make the new stuff eventuallly unlockable without playing control?

[pine roost]

Yup

[chilly dove]

It says any official mode upon further reading. Going to try a Conquest 128

[wicked marsh]

The new bomber is nice and all, but I feel like once a AA spawns or simply infantry you have 0 chance of survival even with mates, you cannot properly attack if you cannot do shit, like it needs some basic sort of counter measure otherwise I doubt its viability would be great which would be sad as the vehicle is a really nice concept. Not gonna lie I fully get why u dont give it flares but atleast make it so u cant get locked in the off radar mode (which btw ends as soon as you shoot so it would legit only allow entries without getting perma locked). BF42 is full to the brim with all sorts of explosive spam, you have to atleast give it some sort of counter measures :/

[chilly dove]

Ribbons on any mode. Slower but confirmed. Thanks

[next onyx]

I gave my feedback towards that. I don't mind what they're trying but there should at least be SOME option to limit a guaranteed hit.

[robust vapor]

the AV cannons are underwhelming tho

[next onyx]

The 20mm ap?

[acoustic seal]

maybe he's aware there shouldn't be a jet bomber in the game and is just trying to limit the damage it can do lol

[robust vapor]

ye

[patent pivot]

I'm thinking about using the crossbow as mortar

[next onyx]

I feel like 20mm AP is meant to assist not directly kill.

That's the gist from my experience flying bombers

[silk roost]

If you’re an Xbox with someone, please join control unblock on board

[next onyx]

It's not the mosquito MK FB VI's 6 pounder.

Which by the way. It'd be really funny if they gave the bomber a 50mm cannon.

[dreamy topaz]

No reason to use the 20mm AP when the JDAM is the main damage against ground armor and keeping the HE actually lets you kill infantry

[robust vapor]

emp is surprisingly strong

[next onyx]

I don't think the bomber should stay in one place for too long.

Especially with how its countermeasures work.

[robust vapor]

yeah it's a vulture playstyle

[next onyx]

But then again I guess you should go hit and run with the 20mm he on infy you see.

[dreamy topaz]

the 20 AP is too weak to do any meaningful damage to ground armor and for some reason way more inaccurate too

HE lets you dogfight when needed, kill infantry (since stingers are your main counter) and still is enough to 100-0 a wildcat with the jdam

you'd think the AP at least did more damage against other aircraft..

[next onyx]

Ap rounds can soften up armour making it easier to kill them with the bombs.

[patent pivot]

I'm guessing this new plane is not remotely to gunship

[acoustic seal]

it's a fat, slow jet

not even slow, just fat

has the turn radius of a brick house

[limpid pond]

Hey but at least brick houses survive tornados

Ya know what I mean

So it shouldn't die to a tornado right?

[next onyx]

Today I just learned that only squad leaders can call the ranger in.

[robust vapor]

💀

[royal swan]

man this bomber is easy to take done. mf got no flares, 2 missle launch

and it's dead

[dawn cedar]

bro never got farmed by bomber / attack planes in bf1 and it shows. or played when bomber gunner had insane splash on it

not to mention the best weapons locked behind dlc

[ebon pilot]

what? bullshit

[royal swan]

BF1 still peaked

[ebon pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/i-dont-believe-you-lies-liar-gif-18627726

[reef cedar]

how do you get the drone? I don't see it in the battle pass

[ebon pilot]

you need to get ribbons

click on Control Unlocked

[royal swan]

you can get ribbions on any mode

including coop

coop works i did it

[ebon pilot]

yes but the control unlocked screen will show you how many ribbons you need

[reef cedar]

oh so u don't need to play control unlocked to get ribbons to count for the drone?

[royal swan]

yeah

[reef cedar]

cool

[royal swan]

40 ribbons for drone

[reef cedar]

ty :)!

[reef cedar]

oh sick

[royal swan]

which can be done in 3 matches if you get near max ribbons

easy was using Rao first then falck

[reef cedar]

why rao?

was planning on doing casper

[ebon pilot]

when you hack someone with Rao it spots everyone in a radius around them. then you just pull out a gun and kill them

so now you've done combat, objective, wingman, and recon ribbons

[reef cliff]

Buff 60mm flak pod against infantry and ground vehicles when?

[next onyx]

Flak pod is solely meant for air vehicles.

[reef cliff]

It says it's suppose to be also effective to infantry...Description is a lie it seems.

[acoustic seal]

descriptions are ALWAYS wrong

they're written by people who don't play the game

[reef cedar]

mmm

[reef cliff]

I wish I can ping the person who wrote the description.

[vital quail]

40mm cannister probably better for helis anyway

[next onyx]

It was originally super good against infantry yeah.

But it was broken.

[reef cliff]

I don't know why they nerfed in the past.

[acoustic seal]

that was jeep flak, or were they both like that?

[next onyx]

Flak pod they're talking about flak POD.

[reef cliff]

60mm flak pod

[next onyx]

It was absurdly broken.

[reef cliff]

They need to revert those nerfs.

[acoustic seal]

N

fixing flak vs infantry is one of the few things they got right

[reef cliff]

Biggest cap I ever seen.

[next onyx]

You weren't there when it was busted.

[acoustic seal]

you must not have been there when the jeep flak had a splash of 10m

[reef cliff]

Thats why I need to see it pre patch. Jeep?

I'm talking about the ebaa wildcat 60mm flak pod.

Bruh

[acoustic seal]

there's like a 99% chance they had the same issue and i just dont remember

because this is dice and they don't learn

[dapper glen]

Is anyone else having the issue in air superiority where they aren't hearing the bullets from the new jets hitting your own jet?

[next onyx]

Basically it was very easy to clip multiple people with a single pod. The instant kill radius was small but due to its velocity it didn't require much effort.

60 MM mortar is a nuke all in all though due to its low velocity and range it's better balanced.

[strong snow]

[wicked marsh]

Read my message I said I understand that but there is a major difference between "not encouraging long survivability" and standing 0 chance (taking a jet slot + cooldown) for 20 seconds of actual pvp experience

Playing it in 128 player conquest esp on open maps is basc an impossible task unless ur going for a 5 kill round

And thats def not the point of a strategic bomber

[wicked marsh]

Its in all modes as far as I am concerned

[granite island]

The new jet is funny

[calm bison]

Haven’t got my hands on it yet

[frozen loom]

Maybe that's why my game crashes after the splash screen.

🤔

[ebon pilot]

HMMM

[frozen loom]

Hmmm indeed.

Oh nice. I made it past the splash screen.

[next onyx]

It'd be really cool if the MG could benefit two classes.

[patent pivot]

forget about that

bring back restrictions

[ebon pilot]

hell nah

[ivory canopy]

I agree tbh

Even though we probably wouldn't agree on exactly what gets restricted.

Option 1:
Assault: ARs
Engi: SMGs/PDWs
Support: LMGs
Recon: DMRs and manual action rifles
Any kit: shotguns and carbines

[ebon pilot]

wow you really want people to play mackay

[ivory canopy]

Option 2 simply swaps PDWs/SMGs with carbines; a la BF3.

[next onyx]

Mackay isn't that good anymore. Thank fuck.

[remote kiln]

^

[ebon pilot]

ok you want people to play Zain

[remote kiln]

funny people were calling this patch bad for destroying him

[next onyx]

Zain isn't THAT bad.

He's more useful for blowing people off of rooftops.

Nowhere near as powerful.

[ebon pilot]

perseverance trait gives me dopamine

[dawn nacelle]

Anyone have an easier way of doing the ranger dmg mission?

[calm bison]

I do think they overstepped the nerf

But I think a better way to have fixed Mackay would’ve been to completely rework his gadget

IMO he should have a placeable grappling hook/zip line similar to the ones from Hardline

Not an original idea but it would improve his dynamic IMO

[patent pivot]

somebody should make them play hardline and collect data

[calm bison]

Great idea

[patent pivot]

I have a bad feeling their latest update to the app broke the login

[ebon pilot]

that's cool but something to remember: hardline zip lines can only be traversed downward and you can't use any weapons while riding them

this balances the mechanic because it means you can't completely invalidate map design

meanwhile, 2042 zips can be traversed upward and you can do whatever you want while you ride

so now mackay can place map design breaking zip lines that anyone can use

[calm bison]

Then just make it a placeable grappling hook

And players have to manually climb it instead of just zipping up it

[ebon pilot]

maybe a deployable rope ladder. If you want to break map design you have to get directly under and climb the ladder manually

[calm bison]

Now that’s an idea we can work with

[kindred flint]

that would get them killed so easily...i love it

[calm bison]

You wanna break map design? Cool. Enjoy being vulnerable for a little bit

[kindred flint]

dont think dice ever considered their pet specialists breaking anything about the game

it was just a whole bunch of "ohhh yeah thats bad ass put it in!!" so thats why we got poison nades, anti vehicle nades..that recharge, invulnerable shield, grapple hook that recharges too quickly and shoots too far

[ebon pilot]

poison nades?

[kindred flint]

wasnt that sundances third?

it wasnt emp

[ebon pilot]

no that was just another EMP

[kindred flint]

oh shit

...wait was emp nade in the game at the start

[ebon pilot]

yes

[kindred flint]

so yeah 1 character having recharging anti vehicle 2x nades + scatter for infantry was a tad broken let alone the spawn high, zoom across the map shit

[next onyx]

Those anti armour grenades were more annoying than good to be honest.

[next onyx]

My favourite part of the strife is that when you load a mag in your character remembers that it's a mag not a belt.

Even though both the belt and mag go into the same spot.

[topaz field]

[topaz field]

mackay is perfectly fine i have no issue

[chrome hazel]

is it me or is the strife op asf?

[topaz field]

nah PKP and RPT still OP loll

[chrome hazel]

im getting two tapped by the strife tf

[topaz field]

maybe the enemy is prone

[chrome hazel]

nah

[ebon pilot]

the strife reload animation actually looks good

[chrome hazel]

dude has magnetic bullets

[ebon pilot]

really snappy

[chrome hazel]

shits fuckin irritating

[dawn cedar]

the more i play with the new jet the lack of counter measures really is irrating lol, i thought the stealth was gonna be a toggle so you can actually evade wildcats staring at the sky 24/7

cause if you get locked its just gg

[azure knot]

hovercraft nades are funny

i cleaned out some sniper nests on the new mode

[reef cliff]

where poison nades in bf-2042?

Dice/EA please buff 60mm flak pod to do a more damage on infantry and armored tanks and destoryable walls/things.

[next onyx]

ok

Claymores are dummy powerful.

Jesus christ.

[ebon pilot]

claymores are FUNNY

[vital quail]

First squad 2 recons pass

Join second squad and 2 more switch to recon too

May as well play solo at this point

[wide shore]

New LMG just has no recoil. Kinda fw it

[lapis whale]

which one is it again loll

[wide shore]

The DFR Strife

[ionic quarry]

UAV Bomber AGM is OP with sofram

lock on range 970m, 1.5 sec time to lock on
Tank - 84 damage (65 damage front)
MAV - 65 damage (56 damage front / 91 damage back)
Wildcat, browler, Transport heli - 88 damage every side
any othter vehicles(air too) got 1 shot kill

[untold flower]

@robust vapor

[royal swan]

Jets with radar missiles when they see the no flares Dorito chip

[hearty kiln]

Its an interesting plane but will take a while to get all unlocks

[next onyx]

:)

That's all guns done.

[frozen loom]

Just in time for the game productions' end.

[dusty totem]

That looks pretty cool

[next onyx]

It's super clean.

[dusty totem]

Yeah it is. It's too bad 42s shutting down soon. Just pray that the next battlefield will be better

I worded that incorrectly

[next onyx]

Game is done yeah.

[dusty totem]

It's not shutting down. It's just the final season is ending

[queen violet]

. Next battlefield. Lmao. We will have unicorns in the next one

[next onyx]

Enjoy it until the next one come out.

[dusty totem]

Hopefully not

No more new content is basically what it means

[next onyx]

I am curious.

[queen violet]

All we want is 4 class system. 20 more maps. All male soldiers

[dusty totem]

20 is a big ask man

[next onyx]

LOL

[dusty totem]

And all male soldiers is crazy

[next onyx]

Get with the times.

[queen violet]

These new devs. Cant even make 1 map

[next onyx]

What you impose on yourself you shouldn't on others.

Ehhh this dude's a weirdo.

[queen violet]

You are

[next onyx]

Yeah loops I'm hoping the best for the next game.

[dusty totem]

Greatest comeback

[next onyx]

But

[queen violet]

Read your profile. Der

[next onyx]

Honestly I just want something playable.

I'm a little too uwu quirky for ya am I?

[dusty totem]

Yeah that doesn't bug tf out on release

[queen violet]

https://tenor.com/view/windowlicker-gif-9231948

[dusty totem]

Embed failure

That gif is kinda crazy ngl

[next onyx]

Anyways haha

Oh yeah

[robust vapor]

I could've joined you yesterday @next onyx

[dusty totem]

Game is too expensive man. I know I'm stingy but damn I don't feel like paying 40 for a game

Outrageous to even think about charging 70

[robust vapor]

Just wait for great discounts bro

[dusty totem]

Yeah that's what I do

[robust vapor]

Battlefield games are less than half during them period

[next onyx]

Oh yeah?

[robust vapor]

[next onyx]

Play Terraria Euler!

That's a good game to give a go as well!

[robust vapor]

I was trying out the draugr

[dusty totem]

Yeah I got it for like 14-16 bucks

[next onyx]

I got it for free on PC.

Thankfully.

[robust vapor]

Kerosene bomb is good on control

[next onyx]

I can't even play control.

[robust vapor]

War criminal moment

[next onyx]

This region is dead.

[robust vapor]

Xd

Ooof

The jdam is good if you like sky camping

[next onyx]

Jdam I'd use cause I like traditional bombs.

[robust vapor]

After a couple of seconds it locks

No counter from direct drop above

Except aps

💀

[next onyx]

By the way. Have you used the MG Dok.

[robust vapor]

Ye

It's lit

[next onyx]

E

Yeah it's fun.

[robust vapor]

Haven't unlocked everything yet

Probs tonight

Bipod is viable I think

[next onyx]

I just use stubby grip.

[robust vapor]

I felt like the worming is good on it

^

With the accuracy compensator

[robust vapor]

Silencer + Rifle Mag + Lazer for CQB

Pretty versatile

[sour meadow]

i haven't used the new draugr yet but i've seen gameplay

idk how the AA counters work

i've heard that only vehicles can lock on but infantry can't

[robust vapor]

Harry Potter and the Invisible Cloak

[quaint vector]

DRAUGR is shot down very easily, it has no counters against AAs

Eeven if you activate the invisible thingy, you'll get locked on

[next onyx]

Think you may as well play aerial superiority and just dog fight with the 20mm AP's.

[robust vapor]

Flareless vehicle

[sour meadow]

at least it's easy to take out

with all those guns it looks like infantry hell

[robust vapor]

But b0mb tho

[quaint vector]

I don't mind not having flares, but it should have at least a bit decent AA counter.. 👀

For example, if you activate the invisible thing, you'll not get locked on for like 5 seconds

[next onyx]

It'd be nice if the jammer prevented lock ons for the while it's on.

[sour meadow]

i hope this isn't like bf1 where they made the muromets super strong right when the game's life ended and never went back to balance it

[next onyx]

But it can't divert missiles.

[robust vapor]

Murometh is superior

Despite the slow speed

[quaint vector]

Muromet was something when it was released...

[robust vapor]

BF1 isn't a horror game

But it gave you jumpscares

Out of nowhere you get cluster bombed alongside your platoon

[quaint vector]

Bring back Platoons in new BF...

#DICEpls

[sour meadow]

so the Draugr is easily killable and easy to use?

[quaint vector]

Yup

You'll not survive for long time

[robust vapor]

I should do a draugr service

[sour meadow]

dunno how to feel about that

[robust vapor]

100 boins if you need air support just call d0k

For the entire match

[sour meadow]

it's not like dice to make something super strong and weak at the same time

[next onyx]

They really had to make a conscious effort to balance this vehicle.

[sour meadow]

guess that's why it took 2 months

[next onyx]

I feel like it's been like that for more than that.

[sour meadow]

non nuclear emp bomb

this implies that nuclear emp bombs exist

where are they

[low timber]

Nukes produce an EMP effect

[sour meadow]

i wanna see nukes in bf

i just need to see how they look in Frostbite

[low timber]

Battlefield 3

[sour meadow]

eh wasn't a good view of it

[wicked shell]

seeing that swap from belt to mag when having to reload in a hot area made me happier than it should #asdesigned
(also saw someone say AP ammo is usually not worth it, should be fairly decent on the DFR tho 👀)

[upbeat sand]

Ea did another BFV

whoop whoop

[spare quest]

I really need to try a full stealth DFR build

[upbeat sand]

With how 2042 is ending content and the ceo of Ea saying that the next game is "going to be a something something bla bla word about good experience" 3 years after the launch mmmmmmmmmmmmm I doubt it

I would probably had more faith if it was 2 years later

In 2026

So dice gets more time

But since 2042 is ending content probably not

[elder lake]

Trust me you don’t

[next onyx]

I had some monkey bastard mag dump my tank multiple fucking times and it got really annoying.

[robust vapor]

💀

[naive ember]

Pretty sure we are going to get official 128p BT and rush full time

Which was awesome

[remote kiln]

the next game started development long before now lol

they don't start production when a game ends support

[wary oak]

I do hope they enable full progression on all modes when S7 ends

[spare quest]

I know what i'm gonna do later

[next onyx]

You'll catch MPAT to the face little german boy.

[pine roost]

Hol up am I right in hearing that you can use the bomber in air sup?

[next onyx]

Yeah

[pine roost]

Mmm

Decent way to level up then I guess

Though it won’t get me any further towards actually unlocking it

Haven’t watched much gameplay of it yet, can it be called in through the tablet at all?

[next onyx]

You pilot it.

You can't even leave it.

It'll self destruct.

[robust vapor]

Ride or die

[slate jolt]

How is the new bomber?

[robust vapor]

Good and bad

[slate jolt]

Let me see.
These days I can't play battelfid 2042

[pine roost]

I mean since it’s remote controlled, can you spawn it using the call in tablet and transfer the camera to it while still being alive?

Saw it was in the ‘personal’ section, not just ‘jet’ so I wondered if it behaved differently

[next onyx]

No it's a jet you directly control.

[pine roost]

I know you directly control it. Basically what I’m asking is, can it only be spawned from the spawn screen

[next onyx]

Yes.

[pine roost]

Alright

Cause since they mentioned how it’s remote controlled (disregarding the fact that you are manually controlling it), I’m envisioned that to mean it could be potentially called in through the tablet, your body stays where it is but you get in the drivers seat

oh, I guess enemies are invisible today

[spare quest]

not only today

[slate jolt]

Wat?
What?

[pine roost]

idk, that's just how I pictured it when I first heard of it

[iron pagoda]

is there any fast way to get 80 ribbon to get DFR

[spare quest]

infantry breakthrough

[iron pagoda]

what to do to get ribbon

[spare quest]

start spotting with caspers drone to get intel/wingman ribbons, when done switch to falk and just kill/heal/ptfo

[iron pagoda]

wow thanks

[upbeat sand]

i mean since the development is usually 3 years which seems to not be great going i dont have full confidence due to the 2021-2024 development cycle

i dont actually think they start development at right after

[pine roost]

Oh yeah these guns are fun on the bomber

[remote kiln]

they do..

we've known this for ages lol

[iron pagoda]

i think it only counts heal

[spare quest]

heal/drop ammo boxes for logistic ribbons

[iron pagoda]

the event ribbon not the ormal one

[spare quest]

what?

[pine roost]

Do the ap 20mms do more against jets?

Honestly can’t tell

[true nova]

this bug exists since day one

[pine roost]

Air sup is just swatting flies lol

[frozen loom]

https://tenor.com/view/swat-go-away-shut-up-haganai-gif-11914870

[pine roost]

Honestly from what I’ve seen the draugr seems pretty balanced

[pearl ridge]

Listen I know I’ve said a bunch of times that I hate Control but I can’t even get a match in it

And I think it’s because literally everyone is fucking around on that stupid CQC playlist on the three worst maps in the game

Those braindead corridor maps are legitimately bleeding this game dry

[real willow]

anyone using 13900k+4090 PC? May i ask what's your average fps on 4k-auto setting?

Looks like 106 fps.

[stone cradle]

yikes, those 1% lows

[frozen loom]

[real willow]

huh...🤔 I remember few months ago was able to get 200 but now 100-110

[chilly jacinth]

you can get 200 while looking up into the sky

theres 0 chance you got that consistently during gameplay

[stone cradle]

[pine roost]

I’m still not a fan of how little damage is needed to knock out a jet part

[frozen loom]

Auto setting could mean it set it to low settings.

[real willow]

LOOOL for some reason the auto setting suddenly decides to set all things to “ULTRA”

no doubt why I am getting such fps drop

[pine roost]

And again I’m reminded of just how bad the nightbird feels to control :|

[frozen loom]

It could alternate the settings dependent on the current situation.

Like the auto setting on YouTube videos.

Goodness me please can they just fix this thing, It’s been 3 years…

[azure knot]

they were cooking up something fierce when they made the strife

i feel like im playing with a maxed out WZ loadout

[stone cradle]

they cooked the hardest just when the game is about to stop getting more content

[azure knot]

70 round armor piercing mag hows that against a jeep or atv now

[pine roost]

Gotta say though, the jets do feel better with their yaw buff now

Taking out helis especially feels much better

[arctic grove]

hello fellow battleFailed 2042 enjoyers

[arctic grove]

wdym night bird is very easy to control

responsive and fast

[pine roost]

The flight assist

The physics behind it are fine, but I’d rather not have to wrestle with the system

It’s just annoying when the others helis don’t have it, and it’s been a recognised issue for years

[untold flower]

@robust vapor

[arctic grove]

can you do this in other modes

[next onyx]

Yes.

[arctic grove]

thank you way

[pine roost]

Also why is it that people in air sup choose to use nothing but lock ons when their heli can just shoot me for more effective damage

I can just flare and punish them, snipe the driver cause they never move

[arctic grove]

idk about "people"

since mostly air sup is filled with 99% bots

[pine roost]

This one was all players fortunately

Though I can’t tell since most just don’t know how to fly anyway

[robust vapor]

boss i'm at school

This is you.

The desk.

[arctic grove]

foqin adorable

we need air superiority but like old eras

[frozen loom]

That's the first time I seen it spelled that way.

[mental delta]

DOk still in school WTF ?

[arctic grove]

guys conquest doesn't have draugr or something?\

why does conquest not have draugr wtfrick

[chilly jacinth]

it does

[spare quest]

Not all maps have jets

[arctic grove]

its not on hourglass

[spare quest]

True

[arctic grove]

what maps have draugr? (ai killing attachment unlock time)

[robust vapor]

Spearhead

[chilly jacinth]

are you playing 64p conquest?

cause i think every 128p map has jets

[brittle otter]

What do yall preffer 129 or 64 conquest??

[remote kiln]

128 is a dead gamemode, 64 always

[late whale]

If it was dead nobody would play it

[remote kiln]

I mean dead for not coming back

[late whale]

Ohhhh

[remote kiln]

it (is) dead because half the base maps aren't designed for 64

but 128 is impossible to balance and causes massive performance degradation for players, it's not worth it

[arctic grove]

what do you mean I need to RUN 300 meters to find my next enemy

[remote kiln]

not, balance, for weapons, or utilities

for the maps

[late whale]

It’s still fun

[arctic grove]

map too big

[remote kiln]

design implementation for players is different to that, they were before

[late whale]

They have the budget to fix it
