What's everyone favorite support gun early on?

Benet Mercie is a fantastic gun. Looking forward to trying a BAR later on, but until then this gun is incredibly versatile and can handle any combat situation well. I love it.

Lewis guns are poo poo (sadly).

I'm still not fixed but the most effective thing for me was changing my res in game from 1440p/144hz to 1080p/60hz and then locking my variable FPS in the user.cfg to 60. This at least makes the game playable without nausea inducing FPS shifts. Also, for some strange reason the game seems to run better by selecting a graphics preset (high, etc) after resetting video options.

That's the frustrating thing and also why I assume this will be patched. People with same or worse specs are having no issue at all.

Because it bears repeating, a step by step guide on how to beat "All of Austria in a bunker":

1. Blow the doors away. Dynamite, limpets, rocket guns, AT grenades. Hell, on some you can park a light tank outside the entrance and shell the door.
2. Throw in smoke. This is important because blinding the defenders by flooding the bunkers with smoke makes it very hard for them to grenade-spam the entraces without accidentally blowing up themselves.
3. Throw in some frags and/or dynamite.
4. Just loving Cadorna it. Rush through the smoke en masse and clear out the place in an ugly brawl. Medics and Assaults are the key here.

Needs a bit of teamwork, though. Us Mumble Goons have been pulling it off regularily by now.

This only works on the door that isn't a 90 degree turn. The area outside is also small enough that you can only get a light tank in that position.

The way I got melee kills was by running scout with smoke grenades and the blinding flare. I spammed them into a point before bayonet charging and then running around swinging my club until I got three kills. It took one game to get it.

Another way to kill all of Austria in a bunker is to just spam the poo poo out them with incendiary grenades, and if you can post a support with an MG15 on the offensive side of the murderhole you can usually secure a healthy amount of kills on the guys watching the door before they get you.

These stupid medals are awful. The support one requires you to get 10 suppression assists and resupplies, but squad suppression assists and squad resupplies apparently don't count? Cool. And it's really hard to get 5 kills in one life as a support when grenades and mortar kills don't count.

No it doesn't, nor does it in any game right now. DX12 and Vulkan are more about developers having direct control than fancy new effects.

You mean user.cfg? Yeah, I've tried that with various settings and it's helped a little but even locked at 60 I'm still hitting 30 fps sometimes. On some maps my guess is my average fps is in the 40's.

Oooh, what's this now?

I noticed my i5 3550 (which I admit is an older chip but still pretty fast) is maxing out its cores.

Also, is DX12 going to give me any performance improvements on a GTX 970 over DX11? Cause I'll just go back to DX11.

I'm usually #1 in every match I play so I get a lot of points, and it only took like 5 or 6 hours of grinding with the automatico, so yeah

e: also if you steal a vehicle while spawned as a different class you get score for the spawned class, not the vehicle- so if you're grinding something terrible like support, just jump into that perfectly fine tank that's just a little bit on fire and boost your class score a ton
