I unlocked the SKS, and it turns out one of my battlepacks gave it the 2x FLIR so I gave it a go. It turns out I'm horrible at it. Is the FLIR a bad idea for a DMR?

Nope it's just the sks has trades accuracy for fire rate. Flir on dmrs is great since it keeps you within the effective range. Its just the sks is a spam dmr so you have to play it that way. Slap on a bunch of recoil reduction poo poo and pish pish pish pish your heart out.

The problem with the FLIR is that on paper, it is the ideal scope.... but in actual gameplay it has problems not evident just from looking at the stats. The actual attachment is big and can obscure your vision a bit when holding / moving around with it, and the actual ADS view is very narrow - it gives you a pretty tiny window of enhanced view and leaves you totally blind outside of it. And, since the scope literally highlights every enemy it sees as a giant glowing white target, the temptation is often to zoom it constantly and use it to spot things... but again, this gives you a nasty case of tunnel vision which can get you killed a lot. And let's of course not forget that if anyone points a laser-equipped weapon at you, you're pretty well done. I mean, if the FLIR works for you, then great. But in my experience it's just not practical.

It is all about your play style, some people are just not dmr/bolt action/box fed lmg people. Just play with guns that are fun to you. Describe your play style and people will have suggestions. This far into the games life it's not worth using a gun you hate. ∆∆∆∆ that to.

Anyone can spam a DMR at close quarters, actually consistently landing shots at a good distance requires some self control and practice.

I've been using the Mare's Leg as an astoundingly lovely DMR and occasionally getting kills with it. I can't say I've ever been killed with it outside of pistol-only servers, so I wonder how surprising that is.

I managed to get an Air Superiority ribbon. I learned during that time that I am hopeless at jets, I'll never get a Jet Fighter ribbon killing other aircraft. Is there a way, with no unlocks, using the attack jet to get 5 kills in a round? I'm willing to be as absolutely cheap and cheesy as it takes. I want my flying jihad drone.

Yup, slow strafe mcrhibs all round on any map with a attack jet and a lot of water. Once you unlock laser guided basicly the same just with rockets. Orrrrrrr cheese the gently caress out of it like I did and land a jet and get goons to jump in front of you, 2 targets + 1 medic gets you a kill every five seconds. I did go back and learn to jet(badly) and helicopters later but that is what I did to get mine. CTS helps with these things.

I heavily recommend cheesing it if you're just after the unlock because you will die to full spectrum skylords from above and people like Chronojam will utterly ruin your afternoon from the ground.

Lanking dam, the resort map, all of naval strike. Cts is mumble and it is amazing for summoning goons. Caspian is fun if your team is dominating, then you can just drive the jet down the road and get dumb kills.

I think the most interesting thing they have there is the fact that the weapons are going to be done in pre-set loadouts. I think that's probably going to work just fine in the end because it sounds like there are relatively few attachments available that aren't scopes (I'm thinking grips, stocks and the like), but it's treading a dangerous line with the morons who obsess over how many unlocks there are in a game and such. Titanfall tried to kill the insane number of unlocks in the game and one of the things people bashed it for was having so little to show for playing over the long term...due to the lower number of unlocks in the face of a CoD game. Granted, BF4 got hit because of the battlepack system and the large number of functionally identical attachments. It's also an interesting choice from the balance perspective. There was a time in BF4 where there were just optimal weapon attachment combos that would poo poo on other concepts due to the high level of accuracy or the ability to hit shots while hipfiring reliably. I don't doubt there will be best class weapons in the least, but when you have a set number of loadouts to balance instead of a dozen or so combinations it seems like DICE won't have to consider how, say, a stubby grip works and what it does to every single gun when they can just adjust the stats of the loadouts like they were individual weapons instead, no need to test each gun when you can just raise or lower stats until they work for that weapon in the overall scheme of things.

I think some of the individual unlocks would have been too overpowered if you could just run them with any setup. Ze Germans have elite units k98s with 20 round magazines. It's something that would be cool to be in the game but if you could attach it to a rifle with a bayonet and a 4x optic then it might be a bit to much. The deep mag is too good at mid rang, optic at long and bayonet up close. None of them are a big deal on their own but if you put them all together it starts sounding a little too good. I'm interested in seeing how it plays out. They did say that there would be customization within the presets though so I don't think that it's going to sacrifice too much depth.

Disturbingly large focus on automatics, are bolt actions seriously limited to sniper rifles instead of as a standard issue infantry weapon?
