This feels sort of like BF4 on hardcore mode maybe? I am really enjoying the city map and really hating the winter map so far.

Dapper_Swindler posted:now it just feels like maybe squads do teamwork but the maps feel overly big and empty and you don't have big fights. maybe the final will fix this but idk. These are my main gripes right now,  basing their core gameplay design to something which happens once in the blue moon, which is a squad of random players sticking together and playing as one cohesive unit. And the fighting seem like small scale skirmishes after the chaos of BF1, maybe it's the maps in the beta, the way too long spawn timers, the lack of vehicles, I don't know what, but everything just feels way less epic.

The lack of tanks is definitely weird. There seems to be only a single tank spawn with a huge cooldown on either map in conquest, so you hardly ever see them. Perhaps they expect squads to use the call-in tank more often?

Not gonna lie, it might be a good idea to faction lock the plane resupply points. I don't think its gonna be difficult to camp airplane spawns, especially if you get some alt first.

The plane resupply points are like, two poles you fly close to positioned by the main uncap (dice calls them skyhooks). Lets say a 109 shoots down a British plane, takes a little bit of damage in the process, maybe needs a resupply too. Instead of flying back to its own base it can just do a quick pass over the British skyhook, and climb back into position to intercept the next British plane, since the game does the BF1 thing where the plane spawns in at a preset location and altitude at the edge of the combat zone. Combine that knowledge with the changes to spotting, and the vultching German fighter will know where the British plane is before the British pilot even sees the German. If they were faction locked, it would require the German plane to fly across the map to their own point, giving the other team a little bit of breathing room. This is just based on how planes spawn on Narvik though.

How's the flight model for bf:v? I haven't my first impression is that the planes felt way more like warthunder than the pure arcade flying of bf3/4

Not as floaty or forgiving as BF1. I'm not sure if they brought back the optimal turning speed thing from BF4 that they got rid of in BF1. Your best bet is to just turn as tight as possible without crashing into the ground if you're on the defensive. I've had some luck shaking 109s by flying low over the sea, using the ships to break line of sight. Doubt that would work against a competent pilot though. There is no rear look like in BF1 either, and freelook is still limited to cockpit only. For some reason you can turn your head more in the Spitfire than the 109. I really don't think the FM is anywhere close to being finished, and the broken specializations kinda make things harder to gauge. For example, both the 109 and Spitfire get maneuverability upgrades, leading-edge slats for the former and improved control surfaces for the latter. Its possible that the 109 has a better dogfighting package than the current Spitfires, as both Spits have flares, unlike the 109, which only has an emergency repair and possible incendiary rounds.

I don't know how I feel about the different factions planes not having identical stats. BF4 shipped with the US plane (iirc) being superior to the russian and VASTLY superior to the chinese, and it didn't eally bring anything to the game except unfun imbalance, where you'd potentially be hosed simply based on what team you're on rather than any other factor Like, even after they evened out the plane stats, the simply fact that the J-20 was physically larger than the other planes put it at a disadvantage where, skill being equal, the non J-20 pilot would consistently win the engagement If they're gonna make the planes perform differently, they're gonna have to work really hard on balancing out each ones areas of strength and weakness, because as I see it, the one with superior maneuverability will almost always end up the winner Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Sep 7, 2018 |

But as it is now you can yaw a bit and that's it. Kinda funny how in hardcore flight sims it's easier to keep track of your foe than in arcade shooter like BFV, if the change is by design.

This is probably in part me being a Bad but I feel like it's way harder to get significant streaks compared to earlier games. Not even like, absurd 15 kill things, I really struggle to have fire fights where I'm not killing one guy and dying immediately after. Something about the lethality and the map design coming together.

I think in BF4 it’s possible to free look while still maneuvering if you use the motion controls for free look. Haven’t tried it though.

IDK if it got mentioned but everyone losing their poo poo over Firestorm supposedly being Deluxe only has horrible reading comprehension. You get "THE FIRESTORM RANGER SET" with Premier or Deluxe. Based on their other pre-order incentives, I'd wager it's cosmetic poo poo.

For example, the MG34 was in the first alpha, but isn't in this beta for some reason. Those seem to have pretty incredible firepower when deployed, with the trade-off that you can't use their sights at all when not deployed.

I'm starting to wonder if this is an issue with my settings or if TAA is really that bad. It's very difficult to see anything past like 30m because it all blurs together. The incredibly washed out coloring doesn't help matters much. It's like everyone in WW2 forgot their glasses at home. I'm playing at 1440p and have all the chromatic aberration/dof/motion blur effects off, otherwise everything is on ultra/high (shadows and undergrowth). TAA Low or High doesn't affect things much one way or the other.

I think I’m starting to see why things feel so pitchy. It’s a combination of base bullet damage being pretty reasonable but having a massive headshot multiplier, and recoil being incredibly random. I’ve never played another FPS where sometimes recoil can make your gun go way further to the left or right than it goes up, and (from what I can tell) it’s all random. So the TTK is pretty nice when headshots don’t happen, but people just get deleted when they do, and the super random recoil means it can come down to luck who gets them beyond short range. I’ve done pretty much the same thing to two different guys, erased one in less time than it took to ADS, and didn’t even hit the second guy with 1 bullet when my recoil bounced me straight over him. I hope it feels different with the “less horizontal recoil” upgrade. I feel like I’m always gonna be going for that upgrade if it makes much of a difference. I’d prefer it if the recoil wasn’t so random and the guns were just less accurate instead.

Origin has some kinda refund poo poo if you dont like the game dont they? I usually know within 5 minutes anyway. I can play fortnite on her laptop but only due to the resolution scaling. It actually still looks good with AA turned up and everything else turned down.
