battlefield-2042

[arctic grove]

with most battlefields its not the budget :< its the time

[late whale]

I’m pretty new to battlefield

2042 is my first battlefield and I started pretty recently I play cod a lot and recently started battlefield

@arctic grove

[late whale]

So why is this game slept on and people down talk it, it’s a really good game in my opinion

[arctic grove]

I played this game for like a year after starting day one

[dreamy topaz]

Games only really get one chance to make a lasting impression and that's during launch

[arctic grove]

it wasn't good :<

[late whale]

What about it wasn’t good ?

[arctic grove]

mostly hackers for me, but other than that it wasn't good either since BUGS

also fucking lissiles

[late whale]

Same with cyber punk ?

[arctic grove]

TOR and Lissiles are both fuckin stupid additions >:(

[late whale]

I hope they make another battlefield you think they will ?

[arctic grove]

they already started work on it, and I bet its gonna be worse than this one

[dreamy topaz]

Why does the draugr make a roadkill sound on every kill with the HE cannons lol

[arctic grove]

I'm having a STROKE trying to get attachments for it even with AI since the EMP can't kill (no surprise)

[late whale]

Got to have good faith 🙏 I think they can get it right this time

They have too

[arctic grove]

the next game could be GOTY and I won't buy it

[arctic grove]

man I thought it'd have bombs like the stealth bombers

i was expecting carpet bombing not a single hand grenade

[dreamy topaz]

yeah it's really bad right now but they probably erred on the side of caution and ended up making it weak for release

[stone cradle]

nah EA said this will be the last one, no more after this

ofcourse they are

[arctic grove]

What?

[stone cradle]

If they weren't making a new BF they would've supported this game for longer. only reason they stopped the content was because to put full focus on the next BF

[arctic grove]

you mean getting the shop working day one

[patent pivot]

Nah no

[stone cradle]

they 'sleep' on it because the game only got worth playing more than 2 years post launch

Turns out gamers don't like it when companies ship barebones broken games on launch

[arctic grove]

barebones is a COMPLIMENT

[full burrow]

someone at the office said, lets double the player count, this will make the game 2x better. And then they cared about nothing else

[arctic grove]

all the maps were built around battle royale :<

[mild whale]

is 2042 on Boonty Box?

[patent pivot]

IS THAT A MF FH REFERENCE

[mild whale]

what does MF mean

[patent pivot]

Motherf

Lol

[chilly jacinth]

male/female

[arctic grove]

nice

[arctic grove]

[violet otter]

US 69 vs RU 69 a true battle

[lilac dust]

So youre saying theres a chance we get new portal maps, just no new seasons 👁

Breakaway and Orbital reworks feel great on 128

[arctic grove]

2 of like 9 maps

I really like Redacted, like a Lot

[lilac dust]

Point being. They learned how to make good 128 maps eventually. So no reason not to have it in next game with all the learnings from this game

[arctic grove]

what if what happened to 2042 happens again Haha, all the people who spent like a year learning frostbite LEAVE

[lilac dust]

If theyre not gonna bother with 128 in the next game then it better make up for it by being the most graphically impressive game full of insanely detailed destruction

[arctic grove]

do the jraphics even matter :<

[lilac dust]

For a battlefield game yes. No interest in playing battlebit with those minecraft graphics

[arctic grove]

I mean yeah not minecraft jraphics

but I think the low setting jraphics are fin

[wide shore]

They’re doing 64 next game. And all the proof you need is right in 2042 itself. They made 3 seasons in a row with nothing but 64 player maps. They’re done with 128. Even if some of us think it was good.

[arctic grove]

never found myself thinking "damn I wish I could see that rock better"

the jraphics are fine

[wide shore]

I won’t lie, I enjoy 128 over 64 on every single base map in the game. But that’s because they’re made for 128. But I can definitely tell there was an incredible amount of sacrifices made to make it happen. (That and last Gen holding the game back.)

[lilac dust]

Thats not what i meant lol. I just want BFV graphics in the next game

[arctic grove]

the atmosphere?

[lilac dust]

2042 was a downgrade in graphics and atmosphere

[wide shore]

BFV just had better visuals in general

Not even just atmosphere

But yes. 2042 lacks atmosphere. And even worse at launch

[lilac dust]

2042 feels like it should have released before BF1

[arctic grove]

nah 2042 graphics good :<

[wide shore]

The premise of the story of 2042 really never felt like it through its maps. It’s basically an end of the world scenario but you would really never know.

[lilac dust]

Theyre good but in comparison to BF1 and BFV they are vastly worse

If BF1 and V didnt exist then 2042 graphics would be acceptable. Still looks better than any COD game

[arctic grove]

idk man I think that might have to do with the atmosphere not the jraphics themselves

[lilac dust]

I remember before 2042 came out I was so excited thinking. Just give me BFV graphics and immersion in the year 2042...... and they failed to do that

[arctic grove]

the jraphics don't matter much to me since I'm gonna run all low just for fps

[lilac dust]

Apex and cod are a couple games i dont need good graphics to enjoy

Battlefield was built upon immersion

[arctic grove]

this is truly a eyebrow raising moment since I've never seen running this game at not low

[naive quiver]

This week's challenge is a bit difficult

[pine roost]

what is it

[royal swan]

This bomber needs a buff in survivability

[arctic grove]

thats a neat way to say FLARES

[royal swan]

Straight up

It's a ride or die plane and once two missiles are locked on you're basically fucking dead

[stone cradle]

that's a problem I had

completely pristine and clean

only after the reworks did they actually change it up and add some of that "this place is an actual warzone" aspect

[twin oak]

This is why jammer is an attachment

[wary oak]

I couldn't agree more

[twin oak]

It's a tactical scout vehicle

[stone cradle]

aren't bombers in real life like that too?

[wary oak]

The jammer only stops vehicle based lock ons not shoulder launched AA

[wary oak]

Bombers IRL have flares too

[royal swan]

This thing goes invisible and has a single bomb. bombers are not the same as this Dorito chip

[wary oak]

Another thing they need to change on the drone is the mastery limit reduced from 2,400 down to like 800-1,200 kills. 2,400 kills is a bit too much for that UCAV

[chilly jacinth]

its perfectly balanced

anything more and it would be obnoxious

[wary oak]

"Perfectly Balanced" Yeah 20mm Cannon HE and Thermal Vision that's very balanced

[ebon pilot]

Yeah a wildcat can grab it out of the sky and fuck it with no resistance

[wary oak]

Not if there using JDAM's

plus Jammer

[pine roost]

so glad to see air sup back

[wary oak]

I think you guys need to redo that it's not a bomber it's called a UCAV

Which it's based off the real life X-47B UCAV (Which was scrapped) i mean no disrespect by the way

[pine roost]

I'm going to call it a bomber anyway

cause it bombs :)

[naive ember]

It's not a bomber

[arctic grove]

I have no played the new mode yet so what does the Dorito chip have in store for us

[arctic grove]

Most it can be classified as is a stealth bomber but even then the B 52 stratofortesss kinda steals that title anyway

So it’s a scout plane

What does the dorito chip do so far

[wary oak]

JDAM's, Napalm, EMP, Air-Ground Missile, Optical Camoflauge etc

[spare quest]

explode

luckily they have no flares

[arctic grove]

So basically they turned a super sonic stealth plane into a ground support plane

?

With no flares

[ebon pilot]

YEA

[wary oak]

Yep no flares either only a Jammer which is a manually activated "Under The Radar" thing

[arctic grove]

Is it at least good ? Like damage wise

Since u can get taken out by 2 rpgs

[wary oak]

But it also has Thermal vision as well and 20mm cannons (HE and AP)

[pine roost]

good to be back. Air sup is just so fun

[arctic grove]

Wait is control just all air

V

[spare quest]

[wary oak]

The JDAM deals a ton of damage to tanks (65 damage per hit) and it's napalm will instakill any person who gets caught in it

[pine roost]

this is air superiority, different mode

[arctic grove]

Want to play it

Love jet piloting

[arctic grove]

Wet

Thank u for teaching me

But it does need flares fr fr what typa bullshit

[wary oak]

Oh and the JDAM can also be dumb fired too

[ebon pilot]

according to dice you're supposed to do thing then die

that's the intended use

[chilly jacinth]

youre supposed to abuse below radar and the invis

to not die

[wary oak]

Yeah then self destruct to stop people from taking the kill on you lol

[ebon pilot]

exactly

i thought i could zook a jet and then i pressed the eject button and it started the self destruct countdown and i was sad

[wary oak]

Same here lol

[dusty sparrow]

How are you suppose to get spot assist in draugr?

[wary oak]

It only states "Kills, Assists and Vehicles Destroyed" in it's mastery unless your talking about a weekly mission requirement?

To get spot assists you have to go into cockpit view then activate Thermal vision and spot all the enemies down below

And yes loona the drone has Thermal vision too by the way

[pine roost]

It’s got a ground scanner thing so that’ll be where those come from

[wary oak]

Oh right forgot about that lol

i use the Invis (CIX Valravn) and Jammer on my drone while using the JDAM

[robust vapor]

bro i'm in your party @untold flower

[untold flower]

i was drying my hair

[robust vapor]

xd

[arctic grove]

Bro showered without the bois

😞

[untold flower]

@robust vapor can play helo?

[robust vapor]

yus

won't get helo so early in control need to get points first :C

[untold flower]

yeah ik

fast game ill play 1 game then i go sleep

[royal swan]

Is anyone actually playing

I gotten 5 different matches all empty

[pine roost]

yippee, got the bomber actually unlocked now

:D

[wary oak]

Congrats now have fun unlocking all the stuff for it.

[pine roost]

already half way through the highest required unlock

[royal swan]

Another empty match

YOOO WHERE THE FUCK IS EVERYONE

WHY IS IT LIKE IM PLAYING A DEAD GAME

[naive quiver]

[wary oak]

Must be your region Observer

If it comes to it go to solo/coop and get the XFAD-4 and LMG that way since the ribbons you earn in Solo/Coop also count towards your progression for both

[royal swan]

My region is North America

[arctic grove]

Mark

[royal swan]

The fuck was that

[arctic grove]

!

[lilac siren]

What's the best gamemode to play to get ribbons?

[robust vapor]

good game @untold flower

[naive ember]

BT

[calm bison]

Simple fix - don’t play Control

[wary oak]

Well if you don't mind attacking AI i suggest Solo/Coop that will be your fastest way of getting ribbons especially Solo/Coop BT

[calm bison]

Conquest Supremacy

It’s also noon on a Wednesday on the east coast

[untold flower]

nah control mm is slow as hell

[lilac siren]

Ok thx

[untold flower]

then it puts u into a random match

[calm bison]

Lot of people still at their jobs

People still at schools

[robust vapor]

bro those AA cunts can't do shit with their lock ons to our helo @untold flower

[calm bison]

Just gotta wait

[robust vapor]

the AIs are more dangerous

xd

[untold flower]

and the mounted aa cannon too

[calm bison]

I just play Conquest and I enjoy it

[robust vapor]

it's literally the same people trying to take us down

[untold flower]

at least he doesnt give up

[robust vapor]

fr

[untold flower]

@robust vapor control mm is so fucked

[wary oak]

Well Dok i think they want your autograph lol

[untold flower]

i dont have this issue with bt

[robust vapor]

ye

i'm much more afraid of RPGs and M5s

[calm bison]

I’m just gonna farm bots with the Draugr until I get what I need to make it work

[pine roost]

honestly you'll unlock things faster in air sup

[wary oak]

After 300+ deaths yep

Because he is using the Draugr and he will be up against jets with AA Missiles

[calm bison]

I rarely play Air Superiority

Conquest is my most played gamemode and will probably stay that way

[wary oak]

Personally i would love to see a Draugr only Air Superiority i think it would be fun as hell

[calm bison]

It’ll be my third jet to get T1, and I’ll have fun doing it

Although I wonder what the kill requirements are for T1

2400 or 1200

[wary oak]

2,400 kills for the Draugr

[calm bison]

Ah

It’ll be a bit

[wary oak]

Sorry correction 2,400 kills, Assists and Vehicles destroyed

[calm bison]

So just

2400 kills

[dawn cedar]

you can only make it work if people are literally blind unfortunatly

[calm bison]

Got it

I mean that’s pretty much how jets work as well

[dawn cedar]

wildcat shoots 2 misisles and you just die since you cant break locks

[pine roost]

aa missiles are rather annoying in air sup, but the kill pace far outweighs regular matches without any unlocks

[calm bison]

Because you’re meant to go into stealth as you’re pulling up from a strafe

[chilly jacinth]

youre not supposed to fly it like a jet

i dont understand why people use it as one

[calm bison]

MFW the bomber isn’t a jet

Those rocket pods look fucking insane

[dawn cedar]

stealth dosnt break locks

[pine roost]

although all you need is to tap an enemy jet twice to disable them, and you've basically won

[wary oak]

Well 3 if you manually reload the AA missiles in the correct time frame (Yes dice i noticed you guys didn't patch that)

[calm bison]

It doesn’t but it stops them from locking on in the first place

You’re supposed to be in stealth mode by the time they’ve already figured out you’re vulnerable

[sturdy otter]

That DFR hits hard new best lmg ?

[pine roost]

at times though I prefer it's 20mms to the other jet's 25s

it just works out well sometimes

doesn't kill as fast, but still reliable

[wary oak]

Which 20mm? The HE? Or AP?

[pine roost]

I used ap for the most part since I was against jets

[wary oak]

I use HE because it's fun and challenging

[pine roost]

he's still good enough against jets to make it a valid all rounder

[calm bison]

Those 25mms are good for air vehicle shredding

Also good for killing infantry

30mm is for bitches

[pine roost]

the 20s feel like a decent midground

[hearty kiln]

I may just try to focus the aa in conquest w either jdams or big bomb and the anti vehicle missiles, that sounds like fun

[calm bison]

Oh I thought we were referring to the fighter guns

[wary oak]

The AGM is not worth it honestly i would stick with JDAM's

[pine roost]

well yeah, I was saying that the bomber's 20s feel pretty good

[calm bison]

AGMs are made irrelevant by rocket pods

[wary oak]

Yep that too

[hearty kiln]

Gotta unlock em today still after work

[robust vapor]

pog game too many FXAAs @untold flower

xd

[untold flower]

https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf2042/profile/origin/DTF_Gram/overview @robust vapor

[wary oak]

I already have all the stuff unlocked for the Draugr

[untold flower]

[wary oak]

Excluding the T1 Skin

[dawn cedar]

if you have someone soflam for the agm's they do fuck tons of damage

[hearty kiln]

Im excited though, its fun to fly and i think if i figure out the defensive mechanics itll hopefully not be too much of a problem with locks 😅

[pine roost]

not as fast but it can still get the job done

[robust vapor]

[wary oak]

Yeah but how many people out there even use SOFLAM's?

[dawn cedar]

i use it on my casper for the jet bros

[wary oak]

Well then your a true legend for us jet players man

I wonder if the JDAM's do double damage when targeting Designated targets.

[dawn cedar]

"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 "

AGM stats for draugr

[wary oak]

hmm seems like the same damage as the JDAM's without designation.

[dawn cedar]

jdam much harder to hit since the bomber view has some wierd fisheye effect

[wary oak]

So i am guessing you haven't gotten the damage numbers of the JDAM when target is Designated?

[dawn cedar]

havnt unlocked yet

[wary oak]

Oh that's right whoops

[royal swan]

offical servers are probably fucking dead in NA

[wary oak]

That's why i use thermal to help see where the vehicle is

[sturdy otter]

using the napalm bomb on infrantry is funny if you get a bunch of them in 1 bomb

its all about calculating the drop once you get it

its awesoooome

[dawn cedar]

thermal dosnt work on napalm till you are 200m away tho

[sturdy otter]

you can zoom in though

[dawn cedar]

ya thats with zoom

it has a smaller rendering distance

unless its a game setting messing it up

[spare quest]

Slowest rocket in battlefield history? The pondhawk is probably faster than the tow now

[kindred flint]

Skill issue, shoot sooner tbh

[sonic bramble]

how are we supposed to get 240 kills with just the cannons of the XFAD 4

before we get a bomb that can actually kill

[spare quest]

play solo/coop and farm bots

[kindred flint]

Play vs bots

[spare quest]

its not worth it

[sonic bramble]

oh god

[kindred flint]

No one cares how you unlock shit

[sonic bramble]

time to farm some poor bots

240 of them to be exact

[spare quest]

Dice cares, they removed the bots filling the server when there are not enough players

Now you need atleast 16 players to start a round

[kindred flint]

Daed game indeed not even the bots want to play

[dawn cedar]

ok, jdam is SUPER STRONG

you just use ground radar to spot all the vehicles and fly 500m in the air and it just auto locks on for you

if you use both, the radar will come up again before jdam reloads

so you can just rinse repeat

[kindred flint]

Wow what engaging gameplay

[chilly jacinth]

people loved doing that in bf4

just dropping jdams all day

nothing else

[torpid wadi]

Tank mains boutta cry

[nova pagoda]

hi all where can i find bf3 free server can i please get a link

[dawn cedar]

its a diff playstyle which is a good thing

i rather farm other vehicle mains

[remote kiln]

piracy isn't allowed here

[sonic bramble]

any way to get only AI in air superiority

[pine roost]

no

honestly base air sup is good enough

most people aren't too good

[sonic bramble]

aight ill try

let the grind start

[nova pagoda]

hi all where can i find bf3 free server

pls

[spare quest]

#battlefield-legacy-titles

[lucid gust]

Does anyone else think that the new stealth bomber dies way too easily ?

[remote kiln]

yes it does, it's by design

[chilly jacinth]

play better

[quaint vector]

New Strife LMG Infantry only..

[lucid gust]

Why would you design a vehicle that is doomed to die ?

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/ArmoredKill/status/1790447821830733896?s=19

[lucid gust]

Well then I guess it is supposed to be a suicide bomber.

[remote kiln]

no lol, you can't eject from it

the draugr will self destruct if you try to leave

[copper fulcrum]

It's a drone, not a vehicle

[calm bison]

A very controllable drone, but a drone nonetheless

[copper fulcrum]

I'm pretty sure you don't talk in the vehicle like you do with other ones

[lucid gust]

You dont need to. The infantry will do everything because they are the best counter

[remote kiln]

well yeah that's literally what's it's there for

it's not a anti infantry vehicle

[lucid gust]

But even still there is nothing you can do if someone decides to lock on to you with an FMX

[remote kiln]

don't be in range, pretty simple

implying that using it is guaranteed death means there's a misunderstanding about the game

[dawn cedar]

dont be in range of the 700m wildcat that locks you in 2 seconds, simple

[kindred flint]

Good bucket gameplay

[remote kiln]

wildcat range isn't 700m, hasn't been for weeks, digressing though yeah you should probably be aware of where it is on the map before spawning in

[dawn cedar]

"should probably be aware of where it is on the map before spawning in" dosnt always work like that, because nobody spots in this game

[remote kiln]

they don't need to, firing means they will appear

[dawn cedar]

not if they are staring at the sky with lockons

[lilac roost]

i dont like the b-2

[lucid gust]

There is probably going to be more than one person carrying an FMX and they xan just stand near to their vehicles and defend them.

[remote kiln]

situational awareness problem, isn't much else to it really

[dawn cedar]

if you say so 🤡

[white dagger]

Easiest task of my life. How to achieve it? Don’t even leave spawn

[remote kiln]

the draugr is deliberately a Vulcan type vehicle you aren't supposed to be anywhere else except near the skybox

[white dagger]

Huh

The fuck do I want in the skybox with my bombs that do 2 damage and a 20mm?

[lucid gust]

But you need to fly closet to the ground if you want to hit any ground vehicle

[lilac roost]

i have 40 hours played bf 2042

[white dagger]

Hunting Birds 101

[reef cedar]

is the kerosene bomb any good?

[remote kiln]

no you don't, they don't have a (limited range) to the ground, you just need to be able to align the target correctly

[lilac roost]

its not bad

[remote kiln]

the draugr is designed after the attack jets in bf4 with jdams, it's not a f35 type vehicle

[dawn cedar]

the thermals have a limited range, dosnt matter if you align correctly any wildcat or stinger will kill you

jdam are also 400+ kills before you get them

[remote kiln]

yeah the thermals have limited range, they do on all vehicles

[dawn cedar]

which is why your skybox method dosnt work

[ionic quarry]

After i fully unlock draugr i finally notice why they didn't gave manpad countermazer

[lilac roost]

which one is better jet......the f35 or su-57???

[ancient cedar]

anyone else having connection issues?

[remote kiln]

again I'm not saying it's good, it's how it's designed

[reef cedar]

do you need to keep a lock with the new rocket launcher for it to track or work?

[ionic quarry]

Wildcat can't kill draugr at all

[white dagger]

Well, if we then go through the math considering that the Wildcat also has a specific range for their stingers, we clearly get to the simple answer that if you are in range for your missiles, the wildcat will be too. There we go, you become a free kill

[dawn cedar]

lol? lmao even?

[ionic quarry]

If that draugr player doing some mistake

Yeah even that wildcat has aimbot

[remote kiln]

the sraw no, it doesn't require a lock on to fire

[white dagger]

Mistake=not being on the very border of the map and chilling in the skybox

[reef cedar]

oh, ok

[ionic quarry]

Just do not enter 500m keep threw jdam

[white dagger]

And do 3 damage

[ionic quarry]

Use jammimg system

[white dagger]

Right

[dawn cedar]

you do know that jamming system is only for radar's right

[lucid gust]

and also how are you supposed to drop your bombs precisely if you can fly near the ground

[ionic quarry]

Yeah it can protect lock on from radar

[white dagger]

Yes, do that, get soflamed, become a free kill

[arctic grove]

are you sure lol wildcats be lazaring me outta the sky once I’m in view

[remote kiln]

well yeah as before the wildcat is designed to (nearly) always beat aircraft, that's why it exists, it does not mean the person is guaranteed to die which is what was implied before

[dawn cedar]

wildcat dosnt use radars

[ionic quarry]

Well it can also block wildcat lock on too.

[lucid gust]

but not from infantry

[ionic quarry]

Yeah

And nekimo do you really sure how to use jdam?

[arctic grove]

the wildcat being able to single handedly remove the entire enemy air support is not fun :<

[remote kiln]

yes I don't think so either

[lucid gust]

I agree

[white dagger]

For me personally, the wildcat itself was never the true issue. It is ground stingers, soflam and 3/4 of the lobby playing any engineer with rocket launcher or Lis. Lis has no right to exist or at least to be this incredibly effective against EVERY air vehicle

[remote kiln]

it's impossible to prevent without adding some sort of afk timer for people or removing it from the game, has been for AA in any of the older games

[arctic grove]

The AA bullets are all they need tbh

[ionic quarry]

Jdam has longer range than 500m

[remote kiln]

those (are) AA, soflams directly ties into specifically lock ons

but yes this is the problem with adding these sorts of mechanics to games, it becomes impossible to balance

[arctic grove]

Honestly since we have bomber jet now

[white dagger]

What you mean exactly?

[arctic grove]

I’d like to see more soflam users

[dawn cedar]

jdam also requires 420 kills to unlock

[ionic quarry]

Block the AA Lock from wildcat with jamming, shoot the jdam more than 500m

Go to singleplay mode and unlock it

Its easy with 20mm he cannon

[remote kiln]

soflam designated targets will allow a anti aircraft/anti land missile to instantly lock onto the target compared to the delay there is, it can also lock on at an unlimited distance meaning it's possible to track the target, just you're not able to fire

[white dagger]

Try to pull away or back up, jammer runs out, have two missiles on your a** and become a free kill

[dawn cedar]

you are missing the point, you shouldnt have to go through single player for hours for an unlock that lets you play the game

[lucid gust]

This is why you can barely survive with the new bomber

[arctic grove]

SOFLAM users I love

Because then my specific missiles become anti everything

[remote kiln]

any missile*

[arctic grove]

Radar :<

[ionic quarry]

Well it's your problem didn't think about jammer time and blow radar....

[remote kiln]

radar missile can lock onto soflam designated targets too

well no they used to be able to

not anymore

was patched in season 5/6

[arctic grove]

gang use soflam more your anti air jet will become a Flying Fortress

[lucid gust]

what anti air jet? Do you mean the normal one?

[remote kiln]

the soflams main problem is it removes the entire idea of stealth and bypasses flares, just is fortunate barely anyone actually uses it

[white dagger]

Well, yeah. It’s just that all this stuff adds up and almost anything can fuck an aircraft over. May it just be an LMG with Anti-Material-Ammunition. You sometimes have to dodge quite literally 6 TGMs at once, had that happen before, and at the same time you have one or maybe even two wildcats using their AA gun on you while some ground dudes fire free aim missiles or stinger with their FXM. Oh and yeah, there are other air vehicles as well. So you might also have a jet or two constantly hitting you for 15 or a chopper above your head.

[remote kiln]

lol a lmg isn't going to shoot down aircraft, they deal no damage past 100m

but yes again this is an inherent design issue with the game

not specific AA utilities

[lucid gust]

To me it seems like Dice doesnt care much about air vehicles

[chilly jacinth]

ground vehicles have the same threats

[arctic grove]

Nah stealth heli goated :<

[white dagger]

I know that, but it can yoink the very important 3 or 4 HP that can cause you to die instantly from the next stinger missile

[arctic grove]

Stealth heli dies the moment it’s exposed

not very fun

[remote kiln]

people think air vehicles are bad now, is ironic because they are in the most powerful state they've ever been relative to the games life

they used to be much much worse

[spare quest]

Skill issue

[remote kiln]

selective situations which occur 0.5% of the time do not apply to the point

you can't cherry pick that

[white dagger]

There are specific AA things, that are there for a reason are have their right to exist. But there’s also all the other stuff, like I said, almost everything that can alternatively been used against AA

[arctic grove]

I’d say that too but spawning and having 15 lissiles fired at you is not fun

[spare quest]

Just dodge them

[remote kiln]

if ashe can put up with it, you can too

[spare quest]

Not hard with stealth heli

[remote kiln]

that man has been harassed for over a year

[arctic grove]

THEY KEEP COMING

I WANT TO PLAY BATTLEFIELD NOT HOLE IN THE WALL

[remote kiln]

you are, just they are, in their own way of playing

[white dagger]

Jesus Christ, is a LMG stealing 3 HP off my jet the point I’m trying to make? Obviously not. I know that situations like these are rare as fuck but can happen and I had them happen to me before. So all I’m trying to say is that there’s too much things that CAN be used against AA

[remote kiln]

welcome to a sandbox experience

[arctic grove]

Then you look down to what the wild cat is doing

[remote kiln]

it doesn't help your point, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying it's a bad form of argumentation

[white dagger]

How’s that a thing? Do you remember Nightbird Anti-Personell-Missiles in the beta?

[arctic grove]

And that mf is fighting infantry

[lucid gust]

Lets count the threats:
-Liz
-Soflam
-FMX
-normal rocket launcher
-enemy helicopter
-enemy jet
‐anti air tank
-transport vehicles

[remote kiln]

again

my point is still correct

[arctic grove]

Pre nerf stealth heli :<

[chilly jacinth]

everyone else is dealing with the same threats

ground and air

[white dagger]

Yes, that as well

[arctic grove]

Ground ain’t dealing with much

If it protects you

[chilly jacinth]

brother

[remote kiln]

I am not counting the beta, vehicles were nuked just after launch because people complained about them

[arctic grove]

you protect it

[remote kiln]

heck they were still nerfed right up until season 4

[white dagger]

Let me rephrase my statement then: Do you remember pre season, right after launch Nightbird Anti-Personell-Missiles?

[arctic grove]

That’s how I’ve gotten my best games :< but sadly I’ve only telepathically communicated handful of times

[dawn cedar]

infantry players when they have to deal with vehicles in a battlefield game 😠

[remote kiln]

yes

[lucid gust]

You are dealing with like 1000 different rockets if you dont stay far behind(at least my experience)

[white dagger]

That was the strongest form of the Nightbird

[remote kiln]

the tldr is people are missing the point when talking about AA, it's a inherent flaw with this game's design for rock paper scissors, power creep begs more power

you add a controllable TV missile, you add 2 forms of counters to vehicles

repeat ad infentum

[arctic grove]

Controllable TV missiles is such bullshit

[normal sundial]

Its only bullshit because there are no limits on them

[white dagger]

Those missiles don’t do any good damage now. Also, let’s talk about the fucked up flight assist for Nightbird. You can’t aim well on controller while this flight assist is still broken. You just can’t. Making the Nightbird even worse, especially for controller players

[arctic grove]

the attack heli in portal could 2v1 the vanilla one 😭

[normal sundial]

it was fine when it was one per team (on the attack heli)

but when you can literally have dozens of TV missile infantrymen its a hellscape

[white dagger]

What two forms of counters are we talking about here?

[patent pivot]

jeeZUS

[arctic grove]

Your heli becomes a super maneuverable boomerang the moment more than 4 lissiles come

[patent pivot]

EA app is having a stroke

every reboot, you are either not signed in or agree to TOS

[white dagger]

Most importantly it turns into a grave most of the time

[ionic quarry]

@white dagger well flight assist has bug it is automatically turn on when you press thrust key(lile W/S)

[white dagger]

Yes it’s just broken

[arctic grove]

LEGIT like THERE IS NO ESCAPE

[ionic quarry]

Do not press W or S while you are aimming something or less angle than 30 degree

[dawn cedar]

cant even strafe with a jet vs a half competent lis player

[arctic grove]

I be rifle aiming so I’m fine

[ionic quarry]

There is no option right now.... sadly

[arctic grove]

nyooooooom

[white dagger]

Even if you do somehow survive this hell of TGMs, say hello to the Wildcat, the 5th Lis missile, some random with a RPG, some dude with a Recoilless M5, some dude with a tank, some dude with a flak or some guy sitting on a 60mm

[arctic grove]

The heli needs a controllable missiles:(

[white dagger]

Oh yea, forgot about the Soflam+Recoilles combo or just some guy with a FXM and a dream

[arctic grove]

AND A FUCKING BLUE LIGHT FROM ACROSS THE MAP

[ionic quarry]

Idk when DICE fixed heli's flight assist it broken more than 2 years ago lol

[chilly jacinth]

its always funny watching heli and jet mains coping

[white dagger]

And of course, could also say hello to 5 barrage missiles from a jet, a jets gun, a big choppers 3 anti-vehicle-missiles and the gunner or the transport with some guy who knows how to shoot

[arctic grove]

Need me my 100-0 Killing Machine

[white dagger]

It’s quite literally impossible to achieve this on controller

[arctic grove]

Wdym your controller doesn’t have the windows key

[pine roost]

Thanks for helping spread the message blackangel, at this point i'm just losing my marbles

[ionic quarry]

Well i also dont like heli but the fact is flight assist is broken more than 2 years

[torpid wadi]

When you’re used to being able to strike down god himself being touchable does feel like a huge nerf

[ionic quarry]

And it need to fix

[arctic grove]

Alr gn gang

[white dagger]

Yea no shit. I can angle myself downwards, throw the controller out the window and this fucking machine would still slowly force itself in an upright position. It doesn’t matter what I press or don’t press. I just can’t aim properly

[pine roost]

join the club

[arctic grove]

can’t even leave spawn smh

[pine roost]

it's almost the only thing left on my list of things i wanted to see changed at some point

[white dagger]

And the pullback from the assist isn’t even linear, it gets stronger the more you angle yourself in any of the directions

[white dagger]

My man

[pine roost]

and the fact that the seasons are ending soon isn't giving me much hope that they'll be willing to pull it together before major updates stop rolling out

[remote kiln]

I was primarily talking about ground primarily, smoke/auto repair etc

[white dagger]

That would be… not great. Can’t even fly the bird properly with this broken assist being a thing

[white dagger]

Ah I see

[pine roost]

it's just funny to me how the attack heli works like a dream. going from one to the other induces some major whiplash

[white dagger]

In what season did they even fuck that up? I still remember the good old times in the beta and pre season where I could fly that thing quite well

[pine roost]

the very first update of season 1

[white dagger]

aww man

[pine roost]

so I've now had this name for what, 3 years now

[remote kiln]

jets do technically have 2 counters with low radar, just it's a passive

[white dagger]

But they seemed to have fucked that up pretty good huh

[pine roost]

I read that in yes man's voice

but so many other changes have been evidently because of player feedback, this was one of the main things brought up in the heli feedback thread, with a direct response from eddie because of it, so it must be a far more complicated mess to fix than we anticipate

almost everything else since has been adjusted

[chilly jacinth]

is flight assist even needed

[white dagger]

Oh my man Eddie. This man… his latest posts are, well, hard to swallow

[pine roost]

it can be useful for newbs who don't know how to orient themselves upright, but it's just a handicap for anyone worth their salt

[ionic quarry]

Well i'm sorry to saying nightbird main player. Actually i don't like nightbird shit that scout heli mobility getting increase since BF2, right now in BF2042 it become UFO shit. But this can't be reason that broken flight assist still keep going more than 2 years. It need to fix before they closed live service.

[spare quest]

no

[white dagger]

It is not at all. If you sit in a helicopter you are either gonna fly that thing or bury it in the ground. A mechanic that is slowly angling your chopper upwards when you don’t touch anything is not helpful on the way to the ground

[patent pivot]

FUCKING 300 KILLS for explosive tip??

they're bat shit insane

[chilly jacinth]

for the ghostmaker?

theyre not good

[kindred flint]

High kill req are just made to keep you playing

[patent pivot]

Too bad the whole game doesn't meet my expectations

[kindred flint]

This isn't an airport

[fiery shoal]

thats really not a lot though?

[patent pivot]

[primal hemlock]

Battlefield 2042 having issues on PC today?

Seems like I've unlocked everything with all attachments suddenly and customisations not saving

[sour meadow]

is there a reason why no one is playing control even though the new stuff is locked behind it

i just played a round that was 9v5

it was so boring and unfair

[naive ember]

Battlefield never gets boring, it's just you

[ebon pilot]

im at the office srry

[dusty sparrow]

the draugr is quite fun with the homing bomb which can 2 shot almost everything

[midnight plover]

I don't understand why the platoon/clan system was removed from BF2042?

[rigid charm]

Yo this event dont pop? I cant find people playing this thing

[still vault]

When they removed Battlelog for Battlefield V back in 2018 I imagine platoons were not utilized by the community anymore to any significant degree.

[rigid charm]

does ribons from other modes count for this event?

[sour meadow]

this has to be why no one is playing control

[still vault]

sure

[rigid charm]

do they count?

[next onyx]

Yes

[rigid charm]

god bless

jesus where the people playing

cant find a BT game

[sour meadow]

thank god i don't have to play control

[rigid charm]

i dont even remember wtf is control

lol

[sour meadow]

small conquest but the points change positions during the match

it's fine but no one is playing it

[rigid charm]

just put redacted in this event thing dude

they need to put CQB maps on this events

metro, redacted, locker

[vocal tusk]

No they dont, control wouldnt work on redacted

[rigid charm]

fuck control mode

make other event

just dont change move speed and shit

[vocal tusk]

Right, have fun wth that

[fresh lintel]

Yeah lets bring back the robot mode. 🙂

[rigid charm]

good cqb map, lots of tickts, normal move speed. fun

btf what studio is working in the next bf? and they are good?

[fresh lintel]

People probably grinding out Frontlines or Breakthrough so they can get the Draugr and Strife.

Then again Infantry BT is broken because I keep getting lobbies with me myself and i

All modes do

Ribbons are just shit you get for playing the game. Reviving, healing, repairing, resupplying, killing.

BT and Frontlines are good for ribbon farming since its short compact high action lmao

[rigid charm]

dude NOTHING is popping right now wtf

does portal maps count ribons for the event?

daum

[flat saffron]

can you play bf2042 with characters from bf3 bf2?

[fallen gate]

Is the bomber in BT?

[rigid charm]

GOTTA DO THE LITTLE EVENT

ops

[lilac dust]

Assuming ribbons count from any mode so that's probably why

[rigid charm]

excluding portal, just checked

[calm bison]

Hey for all Xbox players

Is anyone’s status being weird?

I get into games but it just says Battlefield 2042 Xbox Series X|S

It doesn’t update to the map or location I’m playing on

[rigid charm]

dude matchmacking is fucked

[calm bison]

Yes but other people have normal statuses and I’m trying to figure it out

[fallen gate]

Once your In the bomber and that wildcat locks on. You’re done for. Bomber has weak countermeasures. I’m pretty sure they don’t even work 😒

[fresh lintel]

I wouldnt mind if they just got rid of snipers for the next title or made them pickups only in the middle of the map or something

[fresh lintel]

They dont. The Draugr has no counter measures for the lock on. You need to use the cloaking to get a drop on the Wildcat to even survive.

[vocal tusk]

Incorrect, it has a jammer that stops vehicle lock ons, but it needs to be used before missile fire

[fresh lintel]

Sounds useless tbh

Because they still have missiles on the ready instead of being on cooldown. Which is ideal.

Now you just say "Lol no" and deny a lock? I'd rather take the cloak and kill them before they kill me

[next onyx]

It stops vehicle lock ons.

Pretty much below radar but above.

[ebon pilot]

but not infantry locks

[next onyx]

That's below radar.

[fresh lintel]

Yeaaah i'd probably stick with the cloak

[next onyx]

To be honest its jammer should prevent locks but not divert missiles.

[vocal tusk]

Thats what it does tho, no?

It does nothing if the missile is already fired

[next onyx]

I mean all missiles.

Infantry locks plus vehicle locks.

Not just vehicle locks.

[vocal tusk]

Yeah, its a weird choice for sure.

[next onyx]

Hell stealth mode having that function I think would work better as you can't attack with it on otherwise you break the coating.

Exacerbate the hit and run style.

[vocal tusk]

Even a reverse of the stealth heli would not be too bad. AKA...you enter stealth mode, but can only use guns and not bombs, but cant be locked on lol

The guns arent all that powerful

[next onyx]

The incendiary bombs are fucked last I heard.

Just no guns at all. You shouldn't be able to get free damage on tanks with the 20MM AP without them knowing.

Hell I don't even agree with its bomber sights having access to thermals.

[fallen gate]

Makes sense, then what is the point for adding the jammer?

[rigid charm]

this 2 last maps are ass man 😭

[calm bison]

Yeah i think the latest update broke some status features

At least for some players

[pine roost]

Those ap rounds do considerable damage, like almost 40% consistently in one run. Combined with a JDAM at the end is killer

And according to some folks in a dogfighting discord I know, there’s been a bug that’s made jets far more susceptible to disables

Which explains the two tap wing knockouts

Though not 100% certain

[next onyx]

It's exactly the mosquito MK FB VI situation where you need that runner up fire to kill the tank.

Sure the 4000lb bomb can take out a tank from 100 to 0.

But it helps to soften them up.

[pine roost]

bout half way to getting the jdam so I can give it a proper try

although I'm liking it's playstyle for the most part

[dawn cedar]

I got the jdam now

The only way to play the draugr is to fling them across the map like a cruise missile

From skybox

Stealth should have been a toggle like chopper

Also if you get hit once you just lose all control in a dogfight

[remote kiln]

https://fxtwitter.com/BFBulletin/status/1790863676716597445?s=19

[spare dust]

It's killing my 16GB RAM

[short forum]

honestly I hope that all weapons from portal are added to all out warfare as a "thanks for playing 2042" thing.

[ivory canopy]

I'd suffice with a great chunk of them

[stone cradle]

I wonder to what extent will Motive continue supporting the game

[short forum]

yeah it would bump up all the weapons for All out Warfare, would love to use the M95 Sniper in AAW

[short forum]

hopefully into the next game

would think it would be a waste to not put all the Portal guns into AAW, even some of the WW2 guns would do nicely.

[ebon pilot]

whew good thing I have 64 gigs

[dreamy topaz]

You are pretty much dead as soon as someone pokes you since it gets systemic damage so easily

zero chance of recovering unless you run systemic repair, but then you'd have to forgo your only countermeasure

[dawn cedar]

yep, and they have zero turning, so if someone hits you from behind its gg

[dreamy topaz]

JDAM is also not as good as my first impressions led me to believe, it gets countered by both APS and thermal smoke (unless you dive REALLY close)

still great for deleting a wildcat but a tank should never be hit by one with how long the jdam cooldown is

would've almost preferred it to have no lock-on so they don't get a notification

[ivory canopy]

Here's my list
P38

Thompson

StG 44
AN-94
G3A3
SCAR-H

BAR 1918
M249

M1 Garand

No 4 rifle
M95
M98B

SPAS-12

Partitioned according to which section of weapons they'd go to

If not any of these, at least give us, like, two more original AOW weapons

[midnight plover]

I see okay I wasn't sure it just sucks not being able to represent

[plucky basin]

Alive game

[dreamy topaz]

Oh wow the camo cloak isn't even actual invisibility, just a slight blur

[pine roost]

Yeah the disable system is bugged at the moment, only takes a couple points of damage to trigger, that isn't intentional

[topaz field]

The new jet only works on certain maps?

[dusty sparrow]

On those maps where there is jets enabled

[dawn cedar]

theres 1 or 2 maps with jets that dont have it

[dusty sparrow]

Fair enough

[royal swan]

So NA servers are still fucked

[dawn cedar]

been playing fine all day in NA

on 128

[royal swan]

I can't get a server it keeps kicking me out

Player disconnected, can't load persistent servers

Bunch of horse shit

[balmy zenith]

These new modes are really breathing life back into these games

[patent pivot]

Don't get too excited

Frontline is the only mode to return

The rest are original modes

[balmy zenith]

I really am liking the stadium tdm

[patent pivot]

Eh not really

Spawn point is shit

[dawn cedar]

Can you just let the dude have fun ya Debbie downer

[pine roost]

wait so what maps can the bomber appear on again?

[chrome hazel]

This

[patent pivot]

Upon spawning, I got C5

fucking joke

[chrome hazel]

Half the spawn points on that map no matter the mode spawn me right next to the enemy or infront of their barrels

[patent pivot]

yup

[chrome hazel]

Can’t spawn on a objective that’s being taken partially because you’ll spawn right next to them LMAO

[patent pivot]

why not SLIGHTLY further away from it

[chrome hazel]

Put you right into the action

[patent pivot]

tell me how previous BF did it

[chrome hazel]

Sike half the time it spawns me so far away from C1 it’s pointless to even spawn there

Like they already took C1 and E1 by the time it took me to spawn there

[patent pivot]

kek

[dark stirrup]

can I do AI matches to gain the past battlepass weapons

[remote kiln]

yes

[calm bison]

So I tried out the new bomber

[ivory canopy]

Just unlocked the DFR

[stone cradle]

how is it

[calm bison]

It’s tricky

[ivory canopy]

Yea

I'm also switching to mags as soon as available

[next onyx]

It's pretty good.

[south cosmos]

new drone can be unlocked with ribbons from any official mode right?

not just the death from above one?

[acoustic seal]

it's the g36 of lmgs, meh damage and meh rof but has subsonic + suppressor for some reason

[next onyx]

You should try to get your head around using the belt primarily and using the mags in the middle of a fight to complement it.

Its a super accurate MG and honestly my favourite.

[ivory canopy]

I'm not liking it so far

[next onyx]

What part feels off?

I've already given back feedback on which ways it could be improved.

[ivory canopy]

Could be that I lack accessories that I have for everything else

[next onyx]

Yeah you should farm bots and get what needed.

[ivory canopy]

Fuck bots

[acoustic seal]

it fits a niche, it's just a niche that nobody was really looking for

off-radar lmg?

[ivory canopy]

Just unlocked the Bravo optic for it.

[acoustic seal]

why *do* you check the feed tray on a reload anyway?

did the pocket gnomes put a spent case under there or what?

[next onyx]

You should ask katilio then when he's here. He doesn't exactly work on animations but he should know a bit.

[royal swan]

20 more tiers and I'm done

So close

[next onyx]

You gonna try the mg observer.

Before you shut off.

[royal swan]

Mg?

Machine gun? You mean the dfr strife

[next onyx]

Yeah

[royal swan]

I tested it. And it's aight

[ivory canopy]

I gotta admit

Adding the Bravo optic has made it much more tolerable

[royal swan]

I'ma grind that bomber again just to get some survivalability

Devs did a terrible job making this plane

[acoustic seal]

i think it was intentional, the state of the game would be so much worse if it was actually good

[royal swan]

Honestly just give it flares just to make the Missles piss off

[acoustic seal]

reddit thinks flares are mean :(

[royal swan]

Fuck reddit

Give this weak ass Dorito chip some damn flares

[ivory canopy]

This tbh

[royal swan]

The poor bastard about to be AS by jets with radar missiles

[acoustic seal]

god, now i'm imagining the bf1 muromets with jet speed and flares

yeah it's better off being a shitty paper plane

[royal swan]

Really can't compare this potato chip with the cancer in bf1 even with flares

The amount of options you have to take them down is enough that they are less than a threat and a sorry excuse for a plane

It needs flares to be fair for those who pick it

[ivory canopy]

The mags definitely help the DFR tbh

[royal swan]

It's really annoying that the bomber upgrades require high amounts of kills

Like ridiculously high that it can possibly be a bug

Or another brain dead decision by the janitor dev

Seriously dice can't help themselves, they gotta make the worst updates possible for the end of the games life cycle

[next onyx]

They intentionally balance it in a way so it won't be busted and people still find a way to rag on them. Alright.

[royal swan]

And like how they balance things it was shit

[chrome hazel]

Hmmm

I lost all interest in grinding for anything new besides the new gun maybe

[royal swan]

Even enders a person who would bitch about something like the bomber has stated they made it way underpowered

Same with many other bf content creators.

[acoustic seal]

i say it's a pretty good change in direction considering that they were previously releasing new stufff that was broken overpowered every time

[royal swan]

And I say it's another example of how out of touch the devs are

[acoustic seal]

the cav is still disgusting but people just accept it as a fact of life now

[chrome hazel]

Slide cancel YY masters

[royal swan]

The cav is alright

Best transport vehicle but not extremely busted enough that it's nearly impossible to kill

[reef cedar]

what co op conquest maps can spawn the drone

[acoustic seal]

bro your CDS and automatic incendiary launcher????

[reef cedar]

i don't even see it in Flashpoint

[royal swan]

Smoke the incendiary

Use mines because transport vehicles would go in predictable locations to spawn troops

And like any vehicle barrage it with rockets

Or get close and c5 it

Transport drivers are usually dumb and like to be stationary

When it comes to vehicles like the cav or mav it's only threatening if there's a team alongside it

[reef cedar]

plz

[acoustic seal]

are we pretending i can carry 6 smokes and shrug off cds or what

"place mines 5 minutes ago" is not an answer either

[royal swan]

Dice hates the solo mindset

[chrome hazel]

Gotta be a team player

Or someshit

[royal swan]

Vehicles in their eyes should never be soloed

[acoustic seal]

they were perfectly fine with people soloing tanks until it was pointed out enough times that sundance bombing is free 🤷‍♂️

[royal swan]

Unless you are talking about the new bomber, only exception mf can be soloed so damn easy

[chrome hazel]

Idk I like solo tank

I always been a solo tanker

[reef cedar]

what maps can you spawn it in

[acoustic seal]

and now crawford carries 6 rockets because ????

[reef cedar]

perk

oh wait

idk

[chrome hazel]

💩

[royal swan]

Right now as I remember it's renewal, spearhead, manifest, orbital, discarded, and exposure

[chrome hazel]

I just wanna go back to stadium breakthrough

[royal swan]

Dice likes to be out of touch alot.

[reef cedar]

thank you!

[chrome hazel]

Walking anti armor

[royal swan]

Even with 6 rockets you can't solo much

[acoustic seal]

out of touch with what, their idea that vehicles shouldn't be soloed or your idea that vehicles shouldn't be soloed?

[chrome hazel]

Solo infantry

[royal swan]

Dice likes to have this teamwork system that doesn't work at all, they like to make things take longer which is just more annoying than anything else, and they hate it when people are soloing vehicles way too fast.

Cav was a example of a anti soloing vehicle with it's anti personal nade launcher

The nerf to the c5 count on most classes except engineers so assault wouldn't easily kill vehicles

Adding aps upgrades to vehicles

Removing Sundance grenades and nerfing Mackay so much that it's just better to remove him

[chrome hazel]

McKay is a redneck

[royal swan]

I can go on

[calm bison]

But he’s Canadian

That doesn’t track

[chrome hazel]

Those exist wdym

Redneck Canadians are a thing

[calm bison]

Never heard of them

Granted I am American but still

[chrome hazel]

We have them over the border …..

[calm bison]

Either way shoutout to DICE for overstepping the nerf to Mackay

[patent pivot]

feck

[calm bison]

I’ve switched to Dozer for the time being

[patent pivot]

has frontline always been on one map ONLY??

[chrome hazel]

You from the D?

[calm bison]

Nah. From Florida. My dad is from Detroit tho so a lotta love that way

[chrome hazel]

Ah explains the pfp

nice

[calm bison]

Hopefully we’ll win our Thanksgiving game this year

We’re playing the Bears

[patent pivot]

anyone know??

[chrome hazel]

POV: us every year

[chrome hazel]

Not to my knowledge

[acoustic seal]

the mackay changes are big brained, they want to annoy the fuck out of aggressive players until they quit the game

little timmy two thumbs hiding behind an irish shield is the audience for the cash shop anyway

[calm bison]

25 seconds for a grappling hook reload is a bit much

It should really be like 16 seconds

Hopefully DICE releases a hotfix/micropatch that undoes some of this cuz Jesus

It’s bad

Also I ran into Enders during a match today

[acoustic seal]

if there was no ulterior motive then yeah the changes shouldn't have happened at all, there's no point in making it annoying to use if you're going to keep the grapple function completely intact

however, they're now explicitly talking about "slowing the game down" in the notes

[patent pivot]

you think they should reduce out of bound timer?

[acoustic seal]

timer is fine, maps need stricter OOB lines

discarded needs to be 1/4 as wide as it is now

[patent pivot]

and also expose enemies that are OOB?

[acoustic seal]

oh you're talking about spawn peeking

spawn peeking is barely an issue tbh

[patent pivot]

eh no

just them flanking OOB

in redacted

[acoustic seal]

that's also rare enough that i don't think it's worth touching OOB mechanics

pretty much every other map needs to be 1/2 or 1/4 as wide as it is now, at least in bt

[patent pivot]

still cant believe explosive tip is 300 kills

[acoustic seal]

conquest is cursed i dont touch it

[patent pivot]

ok

[reef cliff]

The arrow of the explosive tip hiting the player should do 100-120 damage at max damage range's, before the arrow explodes. Also buff bolt rack max damage range to 10m at least smh.

[reef cliff]

Dice is going to hate self resupplying and self healing then.

[ebon pilot]

technically you can't solo everything if you're a support

you still get fucked by vehicles

at launch it was different

[royal swan]

they did that with the class system update, everyone used to have access to ammo crates and medic crates

oh and then they reworked them so the ammo crate couldn't stack supply you

[dawn cedar]

ya because you would just play angel and swap and swap back for vehicles

which i mean i guess you could still do, but before you used to soflam and then kit swap to a m5 to 1 shot aircraft lol

[reef cliff]

Tbh tanks in bf2042 where very balance Aside from those f'ing irish aps things that blocked every rocket.

[dawn cedar]

Very balanced

tanks 1 shotting you from the literal other side of the map

:^)

[calm bison]

They changed it so the trophy systems no longer block AT weapons

[reef cliff]

I know that already.

[reef cliff]

Then don't camp then smh.

[dawn cedar]

nah, before tor nerf, it was literally if you had the audacity to fly you get spawn killed

[calm bison]

The EMP bomb for the Draugr feels kinda pointless?

[acoustic seal]

the few times i've been in tanks, the first thing i notice is that they control like absolute shit

[reef cliff]

Depends on what air vehicle you use.

[acoustic seal]

turret slow and has weird inertia, acceleration of a brick

[calm bison]

Turn on DeSync turret and hull rotation

If you haven’t already

[acoustic seal]

there's no way that fixes the mouse control for tank turrets

[dawn cedar]

i think the attack chopper and gunship are the only ones that didnt get 1 shot

[calm bison]

I wouldn’t know I play on controller and the inputs can be tricky sometimes but you get used to it

[reef cliff]

When will certain air vehicles get a longer flare cooldown. And a shorter play area so they can't escape the map and heal out of sight.

[acoustic seal]

stop using the stinger stop using the stinger stop using the stinger

god gave you infinite regenerating tv missiles on infantry for a reason

[dawn cedar]

that one shot the nightbird, which is what the complaint is about

[reef cliff]

Good luck using tv missiles while getting shot from every angle...Nightbird does need a little buff though.

[ivory canopy]

I 1HK'd a nightbird using the CG launcher once, maybe twice

[reef cliff]

At least it does not get oneshot by the ntw-50 🙂

[ivory canopy]

True

[lost sail]

Ketchup is liquid made from a fruit and is 20% sugar, making it a sports drink

[calm bison]

Ketchup-flavored Gatorade

[jaunty vigil]

i feel like its more of a smoothie

[reef cedar]

pretty much, yeah, just get kills with the 20mm he
haven't tried ap yet tho

480 kills for the camo or whatever is crazy tho

[arctic grove]

I don't see myself using it once I get the Kerosene bomb

even the AGM is useless

you only get one so its even worse than using a jet

the CIX VALRVN is pretty cool, but its just worse than Flares

[sonic bramble]

Only one? Not two?

[arctic grove]

yup :<

[sonic bramble]

so worth grinding 240 kills with underpowered cannons and no countermeasures for

[arctic grove]

the EMP is like aim training till you unlock the better bombs 😭

[turbid monolith]

Anyone wanna play? I’m on Xbox

[sonic bramble]

at least I’ll get a hell of a lot of aim training

[pine roost]

Honestly, just get it done in air superiority

Took me less than a day to get everything

[arctic grove]

if you hold deaccelerate on the Draugr and hit the ground you don't die :<

[pine roost]

Cool

Though I’ll admit it’s especially painful what with the disable bug right now

It’s got a much higher potential concentration for kills when you don’t have most of the anti ground stuff

[arctic grove]

it need counter measure

once 2 missiles lock on you're dead no surviving whatsoever

[pine roost]

If it has flares then it’ll just last forever

As a compromise they could consider making the jammer potentially block infantry locks too, then the thing still maintains the same strafe pacing but countermeasures aren’t as reactive

[arctic grove]

me when the stealth bomber doesn't have any stealth

[dawn cedar]

Already lasts forever if you just cruise missile the jdams from spawn

[arctic grove]

NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

[pine roost]

Ain’t no fun though

[arctic grove]

the JDAM is nice

[frozen loom]

I just did this a day ago.

[dusty sparrow]

Atleast it can one shot unarmored vehicles

[chilly jacinth]

only in battlefield moment ™️

[brave scarab]

yo guys is bf 2042 similar to bf V ?

like open map nd sheit

[karmic egret]

uhhhhhhhhhhh

sort of????

[brave scarab]

ik its like more futuristic

ive seen some gameplay so

[sonic bramble]

i mean

its a battlefield game

not too many ways to innovate

in terms

of map design

[brave scarab]

k

[stone cradle]

Quite different in feel

The launch maps are much larger

post-launch ones are much smaller and more focused and only support 64 players instead of 128

[naive ember]

Skipped bf v

Won't touch it

2042 is a good welcome back to BF game

German there's Ein, Eine, Einen.

Like that actually gets me.

I stopped learning German because the service I was using fired its staff and replaced them with AI so I've forgotten the lot of it.

[brave scarab]

[brave scarab]

jawohl, herr kommadant

[next onyx]

Affirmative from what I have gathered.
