It's still easier to eat a bullet in order to resupply than it is to get any pubbie to a.) play Support and then b.) realize that he can drop ammo for someone other than himself. It's still Battlefield! :allears:

On a serious note, it's surprising how well this game performs. I should have expected that, what with BF4 running shockingly well and all, but yeah... it's smooth as butter in even the busiest of scenes. There is some input lag that I haven't quite traced down yet. I wonder if Vsync is defaulting to on despite my turning it off.

It's probably because support is a bit poo poo. All their guns suck, and they only have 2 gadgets: tripmines and ammo.

Should give them dynamite and anti tank mines too. And maybe a gun that isn't terrible.

I've taken to playing The Mad Bomber as assault just sprint everywhere and throw that dynamite cuz you throw it far and it at least the size of old c4 I'm not bigger.

If you get an extra second you can toss and blow one up on someone who turns a corner and spots you. Or hide or chase after groups of oblivious enemies

I find the sideways w/e magazine support gun is really really good. Feels like a m240b with the bipod.

Also idk why people don't heal or resupply. You can toss those things like 50 feet AND they home in on who you through it too

The breakthrough variant of the A7V is where it's at. Only 4 seats, but the side gunners have HMGs, and the rear gunner has two HMGs. The front gun has canister shot, and you have the insta-repair ability.

Yea, that one(M1909) is definitely the least bad support gun. The Madsen MG gun is also decent, but goddamn the vertical magazine is so loving obnoxious as it obstructs your view. I don't see how anyone can use that poo poo.

Tossing down an ammo or medic crate is awesome. Free points!

Playing support and actually giving ammo to teammates is a guaranteed way to get my lovely fly-by-wire rocket from Secret Weapons of WW2 picture to show up at the end of every match. Sometimes I will play an entire round just running around and pressing Q because you rack up points stupidly fast.

Man, what am I doing wrong with these guns? They all handle like dogshit and seem to take forever to kill people. Like I'm sitting there bursting people from 100 meters with the LMG and I'm getting like 7 or 8 hit indicators and they aren't dying. I do pretty well with the Assault weapon in close range, and the sniper rifles are nice at a distance, but what is the trick for actually killing people at midrange? 99% of the time I'm just pinging people for measly damage and then I get gibbed by a tank I didn't see.

Even knowing that you're supposed to sprint to activate charge I still have plenty of moments where instead of charging I just flail around like an idiot. Not sure what's up with that.

Don't burstfire the LMGs, they get more accurate the longer you fire them.

You aren't doing anything wrong, support guns are just bad. They get more accurate as you fire them, but all of them have tiny magazine(30-45) bullets except for one with 100 rounds. They also take 6+ bullets to drop someone once they start doing min damage (~25m or so) and fire relatively slowly.

At close range you get stomped by the assault class, at mid range you beaten by medics and lol long range. poo poo, I bet most medics will out shoot you at close range too.

While messing around with machine guns I found that there isn't much damage degradation at range. With the benet mercie I was stomping everyone but recon at ranges 150+. Does not help that none of the starting guns have bipods though.

They really need to give a class other than assault anti-vehicle weapons, or give assault some options besides SMGs. The AV rocket really requires you to be far away from an enemy tank because you need to go prone to use it, but the SMG doesn't really work for medium-long range combat at all and it's awful.

If i ever get a light tank I immediately rocket to the top of the board.

I feel like since it has a rotating turret it is much better than the other tanks maybe minus two good tankers manning the big guns on the landship coordinating with the driver

I think they need to focus on keeping the game servers from randomly dropping people first.

It's fair to say other classes need AT-Weapons however once everyone gets the AV Unlock it's going to much more difficult for tanks to do anything.

Idk bout crates yet since the first time I tossed a hp pack I literally watched it fly up and off like 45 feet to the guy who I tossed it too at the very rear end end of ranged. It followed him all they way to where he was.

Yeah someone these guns I get it it's alt WW1 and we still have vertical loading magazines but goddamn there had to have been a way to not have that trash your gunside of your screen

I'm now pretty convinced support is actually the best class in the game, mostly because the MG15 suppressive is insanely strong and resupplying nades and AT rifles is extremely good. It's viable all the way from melee to sniper range. I'm fairly sure it will get nerfed. 169 kills in under 2 hours with it.

As far as vehicles, always use light AT grenades. They are almost as strong against infantry, and they do good damage to tanks. A support can keep a squad chucking grenades at a tank and it's actually pretty balanced. The key to taking on vehicles in this game is to use all the resources you have (at rifles, fixed guns, TNT, mines, AT grenades, light AT grenades) and gang up on them. It's not really viable to 1v1 a tank, but 5v5 a squad isn't completely hosed by a tank if they play it smart.

i just scooped up all the tank variants off the career site so its still works though when i check the guns for classes they had some new symbols by them denoting what rank you had to have that class in.

didnt matter tho since i unlocked all that poo poo last night before that i guess idk beta who cares

e: how may of us are playing rush? i'm not im a bitch rear end conquest player but i heard it was good and also i feel like i would like to have an opinion on it since well i assume i'll get another survey email at the end of this bitch

I think that one might not be in the game. It spawns the default tank when I have it selected from loadouts. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.
