It’s so annoying that when playing solo you can’t be on a squad with bots. You gotta run every time

I think the first match of the day timer may be tied to when you play because I haven't been able to play for a few days and my timer is at 1 hour

Game fun but janky

I haven't played a Battlefield game since #4 and I'm finding I need some practice with Helicopters. What control style do all y'all use because I am not sure if default is working for me

I always switch to my Xbox controller from kbm when I get in a heli. Also I would suggest you use solo mode breakthrough to practice. The bots never take the heli so you always have it and kills count towards unlocks and those dumb fucks just stand there while you shoot rockets at them. I've got almost all the heli unlocks for all the copters now.

It is now the best battlefield anyone has ever played. In 3 more days we are expecting it to become the best game under the sun in days of future and past. 2 days after that it will have taken over all entertainment on the planet, leaving everyone in a state of unrivaled bliss.

This game feels half done. How do they regress this much when iterating on a mountain of past games. No scoreboard, games breaking regularly so you can't spawn, there's only a hand full of vehicles. It's just so bizarre. Do they throw out the entire code base every time they make a new Battlefield game?

Starting to get annoyed by the drone bomb not doing damage. :mad:

You need all 3 c5 on it and then hit the upper part of the vehicle: tank turret, AA turret, hovercraft rotor or passenger compartment, jeeps passenger compartment.

If you hit wheels or tracks it won't detonate, you might even get stuck under the vehicle. tank body is also unreliable but touch the turret and boom.

Haven't found a way to impact detonate on the Ospreys, I flew the drone into its sides and even the cockpit and it wouldn't go boom. Maybe the engines but those are very hard to hit.

this seemed to help me w/ getting more stable fps

type the following into the console (hit ~) upon game start:
Render.DynamicResolutionScaleEnable true
Render.DynamicResolutionScaleTargetTime 12
Render.DynamicResolutionMaxStepCount 3

you might have to disable the menu's dynamic resolution scaling

putting this in the config file does not seem to work

You can call it "stoop to that level", or you can avoid unnecessary frustration by levelling the playing field until this is fixed. Up to you, but I'd rather do the second, this is a :dice: game, if you want to have fun, you better abuse the jank while the abusing is good *straps more c5 to his drone*

I always hit them from above, sometimes it just doesn't register. Initially it worked every time.

Man the balance is totally hosed in this. Solid lol at anyone who earnestly believe dice balanced this with the assumption that the teams would be organized because absolutely not. This was balanced with bots.

For instance, the AA tank gets a 57 mm gun. Early on I mentioned it either being extremely bad or good. It's extremely ludicrously disgustingly good. It will straight up out dps a tank regardless of what gun they're using. If you get them from behind they won't even have time to fire a second shot. That's just using the main gun. No TOW on the weapon station no AT missile secondary just pop pop pop. All this in a vehicle that can absolutely murder anything that dare make an offensive chopper noise in your area code.

Do it. Make dice see those absurdly high usage statistics.

I got the close combat ammo for the first LMG last night and it actually makes that gun pretty good. It really lowers the time from the first trigger pull to the first shot which was the weakness. It also ups the ammo to double the amount as normal

I was playing with the AK and then svk until I finally figured out which pp gun everyone was talking about, and just lol that thing owns. What need to happen is that everything is brought to it's level, not the other way around, being able to hit people is way more fun.

It also can mount a mortar on the third slot and therefore along with the grenade launcher in the second slot achieves the almost impossible, a vehicle that three whole people can consistently have fun in

I think it's because there's do much new cannon fodder coming in at all time, especially in breakthrough. In older games every player was precious to hold or get a point, here it's 20 people on your side at any given Moment.
