lmfao at the 20fps ray-tracing part

RTX doesn't necessarily mean "Ray Tracing". tbh doesn't look like there is all that much ray tracing in that demo, just enough to create a better version of ambient occlusion.

the whole RTX On thing is misleading, and market-y, but what else would one expect from video card manufacturers?

This is the first BF in a long time that I have felt competitive in vehicles with even the basic kit. All you're missing is emergency repair and you can get that in one or two games on any vehicle. I recently did the BF4 grind again and that was a nightmare in comparison. BF 5 is pretty bad too before you level tanks and aircraft.

PCs are more than just a video card. That's just usually the bottleneck, but not in this game.

yes, obviously. the guy specifically said a 2080 was not the rec specs for a video card.

Kinda sucks that weapon/vehicle progression is linked to kills specifically, and not XP like it used to be. I can't make progress on unlocking anything unless I get a confirmed kill or destroyed vehicles.

I checked. bailouts did not count towards kills for me (at least in regards to getting vehicle kills specifically).

So all the small bits of damage, or parts destroyed or whatever helpful thing I actually end up doing doesn't get counted unless it's a full kill/destroy

you still get progression for assists right? so even if you don't land the last hit on a thing/person you get something?

Well sure they can. The question is if they want to compromise on things that are causing the bottleneck. Which they probably won't.

The part disabled thing is extra frustrating because whenever I see that, the thing I shot usually carries on like nothing happened

I think it means that, on their end, some part on the vehicle is showing as red on the display. But what does that do? Who knows. When the propellers of a helicopter are showing as red, you'd think you'd start falling out of the sky - but you don't!

Yeah I've never been slowed down when a prop goes red. Sometimes if my heli is on fire, it's tough to get it balanced again, but its usually like 2 seconds of inconvenience before I slam the throttle up and lift out of range of whatever shot me.

The only times I've lost a heli are not coming out of a dive fast enough and hitting a building, landing awkwardly and rolling over, or getting shot by 2-3 rockets rapidly.

Man is it just me or is there a serious difference in maneuverability between the rus Hind and the US VTOL?

Seems like VTOL is always a sitting duck and super easy to kill, whereas a hind can zip out of any bad situation with 0 trouble.

Nobody told this guy that like every shooter has hotboxes that are basically the size and shape of a fridge, regardless of character model.

Yeah, that checks out. The VTOL seems to have much worse acceleration in all directions while in hover mode, making it harder to weave around cover near your objective. Of course, then again it can just enter jet mode and zoom away real quick whenever it wants. I've even outrun a missile once or twice that way I think.

Ah poo poo there's a jet mode?!

Is there a way to control which side you spawn as while playing solo? The game only ever put me as rus so I never practiced VTOL flying

Rusty posted:

It's pretty interesting they can make all sorts of changes to the game with no patching, I wonder if that means they can do gun balance whenever they want as well. If so, please fix ARs.

Patches depend on whether the problem is client side or server side. Client side changes usually require patches, but I guess it's conceivable dice did something to get around that (but I doubt it)

Okay can someone link a guide on how to play spotter in a vehicle? I can zoom, I can hit the radar thing, and there's another deal on there that I can't figure out and also sometimes I got credit for a spot, sometimes I didn't.

DrBox posted:

Grenades also seem to do significant damage so make sure toss those in between M5 reloads. I'm torn on the balance. I like that one guy can't easily spawn with a rocket launcher and blow up a tank from range. Requires a little more team coordination with ammo, hacks or risk getting closer for C5. I do think disabling parts of the tank should be more impactful.

Yeah I feel like the number of shots it takes to kill a tank is fine. It'll get better as people pick up anti armor mines and get better with using hacks, but disabling a tank should absolutely be a thing. It sucks to hit vehicles a while bunch and they carry on like nothing happened.

Also I love the VTOLs in concept as a low mobility gun platform that can switch on high mobility and get the gently caress out, but in execution they are sitting ducks and get blown up far too often.

I think VTOLs should have faster countermeasure cooldowns. M5s are still a huge danger, but you don't get hosed as hard by locks.

Plus there seems to be some kind of bug on PS5 where double tapping pitch down puts them into jet mode, and lol if you're nosed down when that happens.
