The Balkenkreuz used by the Wehrmacht and the one seen in the screenshot isn't the same as the Iron Cross that you linked. The Iron Cross predates Germany. The other does predate the Nazis, but was only used by the Luftstreitkrafte during the last year of WWI, and then exclusively by the Wehrmacht.



Here's a plane that has the symbol most associated with the Balkenkreuz. This relationship between the two insignia is why the Bundeswehr chose the more traditional Iron Cross.

I bet y'all 50 bux that the "V" is going to stand for something stupid like Battlefield: Victorious

Also, tickets in the clip are counting down, so hopefully that means proper conquest scoring this time.

Yes but I was referring to the Balkenkreuz which I imagine is not at all popular in Eastern Europe (except maybe in the usual gross fringe neo nazi groups) but said symbol complies with German 'yo gently caress the swastika' media laws.

Battlefield Victory will be the drat name because it is an iconic phrase used by the Allies in said war. Suck it down Axis.

Ah, gotcha.

Most people seem to think they are pilot goggles though, or possibly a paratrooper.

So, this leak (that seems to be substantiated now) came along with: https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/01/new-battlefield-2-follows-call-of-duty-back-to-world-war-ii-this-year/ and https://venturebeat.com/2018/03/05/battlefield-v-details-campaign-co-op-and-more/

There might be a special mode that runs squads of players through “randomly generated Conquest missions."

Also possibly the ability to go prone on your back.

Yeah I just....you know what, I’ve been lying this whole time: I know nothing about the upcoming battlefield games *winketyfuckingwink*

Think sandbags and ammo/health stations. That is what I’m guessing because I certainly don’t know for sure!

I’m guessing, based on it being a new game and they want to try something new, that squad mates can revive squadmates, regardless of class. This is just speculation ofc.

BF1 has animations for entering vehicles. How could DICE evolve that for the upcoming games, you think?

Agreed. Couldn't you play 128 default in 1942 and change a string to allow 255? I wanna do a 30 kill bombing run.

Mods for bf2 (Forgotten Hope and Project Reality) have 100 player servers as standards. Pretty sure they sometimes bump up to 128 for events.
