Scrub-Niggurath posted:Attack Planes (all attack planes have a tail gunner with a LMG): I just want to point out that in a trench fighter you're fast enough to pass over a bomber (even catch up from directly behind) and drop your flechettes on him which pretty much guarantees you will at least destroy the engine. 9 out of 10 times I immediately kill everyone in the plane. Doesn't work well if they have a competent tail gunner, but still very satisfying.

Too bad that Soviet trench bomber with a bomb bay full of submachine guns with the trigger mechanisms wired together was from WW2.

This rules, but for some reason in my head I thought of an omnidirectional ball of smgs that was dropped like a bomb and started firing in all directions after hitting the ground, which is somehow only a LITTLE more bizarre than the real idea.

It's weird that even when my team can't figure out which end of the bayonet goes in the other guy I still have a lot of fun playing this. Shotgun Assault is a blast and on Fao Fortress people basically line up for cavalry charges, I ended up with 30 kills in a round from doing that for most of the time and no one had a really good way to stop me besides going prone so I couldn't swipe them.

This, because although the Automatico is a hipfire beast, the SMGs, in general, have negative ammunition, and you basically need to magdump to get a kill (or two, with the MP18). I'm actually enjoying Assault the least out of all the classes.

I get bayonet charged five times for every enemy I kill with one.  90% of the time they get killed within seconds though. How do you charge and survive? It flies against my typical reaction to break line of sight and flank in CQC. I also have a serious habit of shadowing enemy squads for chain stabbing. Do you bait them around corners? Is it worth charging in a active firefight? Does anyone know how people can turn around midsprint and stab you with a charge at point blank range?

I'm actually enjoying Assault the least out of all the classes. I only have about 25 hours in this game, and like 23 of them are assault. I just can't get into any other class. Sniping is super boring and I haven't unlocked the infantry or carbine guns yet, I don't like the LMGs on support, and I like medic but just not as much as assault. I really love just loving up tanks though. Nothing makes my day more than tearing down a landship all by myself. And I really love hurling gas grenades in and then going to town with the shotgun. Any time fog descends on a level I just start rampaging, it's awesome. I do wish they'd fix that loving grenade delay bug. I've died more times than I can count because I threw a gas grenade and forced someone out of position, but they charge me and I'm just impotently mashing my fire key while it does nothing. But yeah, the SMGs are fairly garbage. I play with the 10-A hunter mostly, but I swap out for the MP10 Optical or whatever sometimes. It just feels so week, like it takes a solid 2 seconds of firing to take someone down. I obviously haven't used the Hellreigel but I've been splattered by it enough to see how good it is.

I don't know how or why but my ragdoll attempted atmospheric flight without the assistance of explosives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3NmS3c5OwM Yorkshire Pudding posted:And I really love hurling gas grenades in and then going to town with the shotgun.

SMGs have roughly the same max damage and falloff as carbines from previous games however. The controllability of the MP18 and the vertical recoil on the Automatico make it really easy to score headshots. As for your purposes, the Hellreigel is unsuited for gas mask use. The hipfire on it is worse than the Automatico or MP18 by a large margin.

I love all these class/weapon posts that people are making but because I've not levelled anything yet, there not of any use to me. Is there a Reddit thread for weapons/classes that have all this information in one place so I can refer to it when I actually do level up? All I see on that loving subreddit is a bunch of multi-kill gifs.

All I see on that loving subreddit is a bunch of multi-kill gifs. Honestly you get enough warbux to buy anything you want, just stay away from factory variants. Everything not labeled "factory" is a sidegrade for the most part. As an example I thought the Mondragon Storm owned bones until I got the M1907 SL Sweeper and now I switch between the two. It comes down to personal preference. One thing I will say is check out all the gadgets up front and buy whatever you might be remotely interested in there. They're cheap but for me they have a bigger playstyle effect than choice of gun.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Yeah I almost always see seats open on the dreadnought because it sucks rear end and gets blown out of the water almost instantly by torpedo boats that it can do literally nothing against. Last page but whatever, I found it super easy to kill all the torpedo boats as long as I was keeping super vigilant about spotting them in the distance and unloading on them with the AA as soon as possible. They die in no time with the AA guns; if you keep them spotted, all you have to do is shoot below the red dot since you can shoot through the ship. As for the shore guns, I'm pretty sure they die instantly to the ship guns if you hit anywhere close to them, which isn't hard consider you just point and click on a map and it takes like 8 seconds to adjust and get another one out there. Now the hard part is that this relies on actual brain filled pubbies in whatever other slots on the ship that you aren't in. If you've got a lovely driver, chances are that he doesn't even have the ship angled/close enough for you to shell anything important. If you have bad AA gunners, you probably have two torpedo boats point blank on you killing your poo poo and if your main guns aren't doing anything, you're probably getting killed from the shore.

You like stabbing people to death in a shootmans game, albeit with your Bayonet? Because if you play with it a bit the Scout is pretty much the best for that. Shoot a spotting flare, see where people are and maybe set them on fire with it. Run up behind someone and stab them. See multiples? Shoot a blinding flare, set them on fire, shank their disoriented asses. But yeah, I totally feel you on how fun Assault is. I'm coming to like Medic and Support better now that I got a few tools and weapons I can work with. But there's a reason I'm level 3 rear end and only level 1 anything else.

I feel like this is heresy, but I usually don't play with a bayonet attatched exclusively for ~*~fashion~*~ reasons. I hardly every get a successful charge and I think they look dumb, so I just stopped using them. I do want to get the sweet Bedouin dagger though. I got a couple skins for the Gewehr and I want to unlock something I can use medium-long range with. I prefer something without a scope but with decent range, are any of the infantry/carbine guns like that? I'd like to play scout more like a marksman than a sniper, IE good decent-long range bolt-action rifles, but not sitting alone at the edge of a map waiting for people to run into the open.

It is hilarious how many pubbies don't seem to get that toe to toe melee range is a death sentence with the sentry kits. I've killed at least five Flametrooper guys by more or less grabbing them and stubbing them in the gut as the flames engulf us both.

On that same topic, what are the things that level up the Scout class specifically? For Assault I know taking points and (maybe) killing vehicles, and Medic and Support get points for healing and reloading/repairing stuff. I assume Scouts get it for spotting and...flaring people maybe?

Check this site to compare some guns you might think about buying, just pay attention to fire-rate since it's not so apparent on the layout:
