Krinkle posted:In the beta I got murdered by k-bullets, when I was a passenger in a vehicle, and I swear the vehicle itself didn't die. Is there not a way to snipe people out of tanks with k-bullets? Or was I just wrong and the vehicle did explode and I remembered wrong? I've been aiming at window slots for no reason, i'm afraid. I've slashed dude to death with the saber in the open top scout cars. Your just really unprotected in those things, gotta go fast.

I'm so glad DICE finally figured out how to do attack/defend maps right. Operations are SOOOO good. Even if you're on an idiot attacking team you're more or less guaranteed to make progress (you better take the first sector when you get a free zepellin) so no matter what you're not just camped in spawn by the defenders. And the objectives being capture points instead of magical MCOM terminals means the defenders aren't allowed to just camp one point or the other. Sure you probably won't win one map with most pubby teams, and good loving luck winning both, but you'll at least make enough progress to have fun.

No I mean, i was in a heavy tank or one of the rotating turret light tanks, completely surrounded by metal, and a k-bullet killed me, the gunner, and not the vehicle, I think, can that happen or did I remember it wrong?

Yeah they can do that. K-Bullets are great for disabling and shooting certain points of vehicles.

Yeah, I think there's certain fun and useful utility to being able to arm/disarm MCOM as you can sneak around flanks and then arm it and run away causing their front line to collapse back to the MCOM allowig your team to push their poo poo in, but it would honestly be a nightmare in 40/64 players as you could just infinite mortar it once it's armed, or even visa versa. So I think the capture method is probably for the best and fits the player/maps well. Really my only issue with Operations is that you effectively only have 4 maps (and really just 3 because gently caress Mount Grappa) because the second maps are so rarely gotten to and then it's pretty janky once you do get to a second map. They should have just went with one map, they're long enough as it is. I wish I could play Amiens and stuff way more  I'm getting a little tired playing nothing but Fao, Ballroom, and Kaiserschlacht ad nausea

Would be nice if they dropped the super-fancy voice-over and videos and just had them in reverse mode (or scrambled with the 3-map one). But, well, DICE really wants us to tell us a story about WWI when everyone just wants to shoot mans (or me: giggle as I throw I mean the voice overs and such are incredibly pretty and well done but...they're not why I play the game and they kinda impose a tough framework to work around. Also, am I the only person that when the announcer says "objective Butter" I start thinking she's mispronouncing "Beta" at first? My brain always goes "Objective Buuhta, no wait she said Butter" Edit: also I have way too much fun whenever some attackers take a bunker and I just chuck a molotov inside.

I think that's the 5th game where I've had someone on my team get control of a behemoth and just....sit there, almost always with the train, is there something about trains that make people stupid? Is it coated in lead armour and it's leaking through the monitor.

I'd qualify that with "past 100 yards", but last night there were some close-up shots in Amien that had me screaming WTF. The big blocky front post doesnt help, but I can usualy get past things like that (hello BF4 M60) I have problems with that gun too. Going from the SMLE to it made me feel so inaccurate that it made me just go back to the SMLE.

Snuffman posted:Any tips for a medic just trying to get 5 kills in one life with the medic ribbon? If you want to play conservatively, try to stay a short distance away from your teammates. When they engage enemies, look for a flank or an opening to pick off the enemy damaged by gas, nades, etc. Especially medics that come in to revive. Quite often they bunch up for a frag nade as an added bonus. Using an optical sight is probably ideal since if you sit too far back from fights you might be shot by snipers. You could also pack a shovel/pickaxe/hatchet and run around looking for trouble. It's possible to get away with murder when there are no flares to deal with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMzFFDp2txw I posted this before but it's great to keep yourself topped up as medic in the same vein it is to be a support with gas nades and good hipfire pistol.

The one downside of operations is that AA emplacements can be permanently destroyed. I get why, but it leads to air shitters killing all of them and then jerking themselves off over how amazing they are. Anything that enables pilots is bad.

As someone who loves the attack plane with ground support kit I wholeheartedly disagree. Air power is totally loving OP but it's offset in the early game by how stupidly powerful AA is. In the mid to late game AA will be sparser and so if your own pilots can't hack it in the air there's always the AA car. The issue with air power in operations is IMO the zeppelin.

Not saying that they should instantly respawn, but being able to blow up AA emplacements permanently, often before any enemies can spawn remotely near them is unbalanced. AA is powerful, but there are a lot of ways to approach an emplacement without the gunner seeing you or without having enough time to react.

It's not too bad since you can still shoot down planes with other ground weapons, mounted machine guns being particularly good but even suppressive Support weapons will do a number on them. It's nothing like modern-era Battlefields where jets could zoom around with impunity because the AA was easily avoided/flared.

It's nothing like modern-era Battlefields where jets could zoom around with impunity because the AA was easily avoided/flared. No wonder Hitler lost it dude lost 80% of his company in <3 months. quote:During the war, Hitler served in France and Belgium in the 16th Bavarian Reserve Regiment. He was an infantryman in the 1st Company during the First Battle of Ypres (October 1914), which is remembered in Germany as the Kindermord bei Ypern (Massacre of the Innocents) because approximately 40,000 men (between a third and a half) of nine newly enlisted infantry divisions were killed in 20 days. Hitler's regiment entered the battle with 3,600 men and at its end mustered 611.[5] The regimental commander was killed and thereafter they were known as the Regiment List in his honor. By December Hitler's own company of 250 was reduced to 42. Biographer John Keegan claims that this experience drove Hitler to become aloof and withdrawn for the remaining years of war.[6] After the battle Hitler was promoted from Schütze (Private) to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal) and assigned to be a regimental message runner.
