Anyone with an IRNV scope mind posting how it looks now? I read that the dot is now actually visible.

MrLonghair posted:No screenshots since battlelog's down for updating but it's much better. Simple fog and smoke no longer makes your entire view green, the dot is visible compared to what used to be but can still be hard to see - but it makes some sense. I used to be in love with the IRNV, even during daylight, cause it's like legit wallhack. The near-invisible dot and the lack of being able to properly see through smoke were my major gripes. Guess I'll have to unlock it for SCAR!

Re: Dust and poo poo in the air. I'll admit to having snap-scoped at paper/cloth/poo poo flying by more than once because I was sure I saw someone's silhouette run by.

I love AT-mining the poo poo out of the tunnel and seeing jeeps attempt to try and zoom through it.

Also, is there anyone with Nvidia 5** cards that used the Beta nvidia drivers during, well, Beta, and has upgraded since? Right now I'm still using beta drivers and that seems to work flawlessly, but I wonder if there's a possible performance boost to be had. I'm reluctant to, cause I don't wanna fix what isn't broken.

particle409 posted:Same here. So your stats are only saved at the end of a round, correct? Doesn't BC2 save unlocks and stuff like that immediately, so if you leave a round early, you still have all the kills, etc from that round? Sometimes, presumably at deploys, It'll save your current xp/stats/whatever. Keep an eye on the bottom right when you try to deploy (and sometimes it will be actively blocking you from deploying even though 'DEPLOY' is right there and you're losing a point, but hey it's saving!)

Loveline posted:Man the javelin is REALLY disappointing. I mean, like, no reason to carry it at all disappointing. Too long of lock, too little damage (50% will 1 hit incapacitate), and you can't even blind fire you HAVE to lock 1st which consider the time will almost always get you killed. Plus you can still be counter by IR flares/smoke on vehicles. Considering you can carry 10 rpgs with the explosive upgrade and only 3 javelins the choice is simple. Also, there's apparently a range limit which is kind of ridiculous considering this is a long range weapon. On caspian I was maybe 350-400m away from a a spotted tank and couldn't lock. If it was something you could pretty much snipe tanks from across the map then it may be worth it but it really needs a boost. Less locking time and a bit more damage on impact probably boost the range too. Well that's...disappointing. I was really looking forward to unlocking the jav as a more powerful RPG. So basically the advantage is you don't have to 'arc' it with all the disadvantages of not being able to dumbfire/peek-fire/less ammo.

Giggily posted:Yeah, mortars are either really useless or god drat terrifying. I played a round of Bazaar where I was managing to nail people left and right with it. I don't remember what goon it was, but I think I ended up getting a head shot off of him with it at something like 4 meters. Just the potential for random destruction of them is why I like them so much. Wish I could turn them sideways and use them like a rocket launcher, though. 64P Conquest on Seine with at least a quarter of your team being supports with mortars is hilarious.

Rudy Riot posted:Spotting doesn't seem to last more than a couple of seconds - it's gone a lot faster than it was in BC. I don't know if it's because the target is obscured and you lose the icon or it's just on a super short timer now. Your spot icon only remains as ling as you have LoS on the target you spotted. So if you spot a dude running for cover, your spot icon disappears as soon as he's behind cover and you don't have a visual anymore. Obviously this does not work for bushes and shrubs. I'm also not sure if vehicles obey the same rules, because I could swear I've seen jeep/tank spot icons through walls.

ChocNitty posted:Is it true that weapons on the american side and russian side level up separately? Some weapons (Like the starter rifles M4/AK47 or MK11MOD0/SVD) are side-restricted and level up seperately, while some are only class specific (SCAR-H,M249) or unlock-specific (PDW Weapons like the UMP/PP2K) which can be used on all classes on all sides and level up at the same time.

Pollyzoid posted:Good luck with that. My timer was 44 minutes and over an hour later it was still stuck at 16 minutes left Yeah I'm not holding my breath. You would think they'd tier support requests on live chatbefore assigning agents. IT support 101. Can any other Euro do me a favour and check to see if their 'Redeem product code' page is also timing out? If it is I'm not gonna bother until tomorrow, I was gonna get some support unlocks with the PKP but I can just engineer it up some more and check out how bad the Javelin is.

Spawned in a gunner seat again later, pilot promptly flipped the bird upside down and left us both in a fiery ball of misery. Battlefield.

tofes posted:I haven't looked at it yet, but isn't it just damage being measured? You also have to take into account firing rate, clip size, sights, etc It has a smaller clip and 100RPM less than, say, the G36C. Sights don't really come into gun balancing once you get past 10 kills with it. I've been trying to like the SG553, but it just feels like a neutered SCAR. It's got a bigger clip and shoots faster, but you need more rounds on target to actually kill someone.

whatspeakyou posted:The military grade Night Vision I've used on exercises are nowhere near as clear as the IRNV. It doesn't get blurry really if there's movement, but contacts aren't nearly as highlighted and that poo poo is straight useless during the day. The thing is, in the Campaign the nightvision they use on tanks acts like you would expect, and doesn't light up targets as bright as the scoped IRNV.

cknoos posted:More fuel for the "AA vehicles are dumb" fire: That video pretty much is proof that javelins are utterly useless. Rear damage doesn't do more damage than front, even a front shot does the same as an RPG, takes time to lock on/can be avoided, less ammo, AND you can't dumbfire it to clear out a building or shoot just the part of the tank that's sticking out.
