ShineDog posted:So any faction can spawn any ground vehicle. Is that the same for aircraft? Like, britain will always have access to the fokker triplane and thats not a beta thing? The full game is even better. I'm pretty sure you can be a black German guy carrying a gun that was made in America and sold to Russia and a pistol that was made in Spain and sold to France. Faction specific equipment is a concept more suited to an asymmetrical game than a roughly symmetrical one.

On the ground, sure. But in every other bf game the vehicles were just fighter, strike fighter, apc, mbt, and jeep thingy with a nation appropriate skin on them. It didn't make a mechanical difference, kept things balanced and visually distinct. EDIT - Going into the customise plane menu on the british side, theres actually no fokker shown or selectable, instead you get 3 different flavours of Sopwith Camel. Similarly, the attack fighter and bomber are different. I'm willing to bet it's a beta limitation/bug as present. ShineDog fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Sep 1, 2016 |

There's a Italian bomber and a Sopwith Camel(?) shown in the promo screenshots somewhere, so faction specific vehicles are still in.

Bf4 had major differences in speed and hit boxes as well as turn rate. The guns may have been the same but the vehicles were not. I mean I can see you guys point, but I think most of the variation will probably be paint or something tame like that. I think they feel you have a more immediate need to know what the tank or planes load out is than anything else. And from getting spanked by a tank hunter tonight I would 100% rather be able to id the load out.

I swear I got him 3 times with a shotgun and he still killed me They take significantly reduced damage from bullets to their chest and limbs, you need to use incendiary nades, (to a normal soldier the afterburn is ~40 damage, they'll take about 20) frags or dynamite to flush them out. My opinion is that melee takedowns are the way to go. I've had a lot of success throwing heavy anti tank grenades at sentries or flammenwerfers and charging around a corner if they don't run away. To anyone who doesn't know, bayonet charges are an instant kill but melee weapons vary significantly. The second damage bar in the customisation page is the takedown threshold. A pickaxe or shovel only needs their health to be 80% for a takedown but clubs and the trench knife are lower.

Youtube takes a while to render your video at 1080p unless you've got more than 100 subscribers apparently. It'll upload fine but it'll do lower quality settings first and then jump up to 1080p. If its short, just use Streamable.

The light tank is my favorite vehicle at the moment. I had a round where I went like 35-2 with it. The anti-personnel shot-shell is just so dirty and I love it.

Setting the game to borderless windowed has just about doubled my FPS. If anyone is having performance problems I'd really recommend it. I'm still not getting what I think I should on a 1080, but the game is at least playable now. Now that I'm not having massive FPS drops I'm also having a pretty good time with the infantry combat in this game. I feel like I have way fewer random deaths than I did in BF3 or 4, which is really nice. I might actually buy this game. turn off the TV fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Yeah that is really annoying, like I have played maybe 2-3 rounds if scout or whatever it's called. But drat it really does seem like at least 50% of every team is sniper's just laying in some rocks. It's slightly less annoying now that I can say hello back with the assault antitank gun. But still you can almost feel it coming when you hear the 5 sniper bullet sounds that one of them will get his wish today and manage that "perfect"* shot. *note that perfect shot does not require a head shot or have any requirements other than the

It is very satisfying to mow down hill snipers with the German tank's pinpoint accurate machineguns. They don't even bother to move for whatever reason so I had plenty of time for the accuracy to build up.

As much as I like the new melee system, I kind of feel there should be some way to interrupt the bayonet charge. Had a dude charge into a house I was in. Ran over my trip mine, took a few LMG bullets. But nope he had 1 HP left and made contact so instakill  Like I'm not saying the first bit of damage immediately halt it but maybe have successive damage drain the charge meter also or something? Other than that this game owns.

I wonder what that ft-17 howitzer option is like Tried the howitzer once, it's incredibly lovely. The shell drops like a brick, it's really hard to hit anything that's moving with it and it deals fuckall dmg to infantry. It's pretty good at demolishing houses but that's it. I love that you can drop torpedoes on tanks with the anti ship loadout. I guess they are called land-ships for a reason  .
