No matter how many times I requeue I keep getting these maps, wondering if the other maps even have breakthrough on them. I've had some very fun matches on Breakaway. Running across the ice to cover or running along the bridge to try and get to the oil rig is intense. Or just drive a tank across the bridge.

Skyarb posted:Crazy that this is the most broken bf to date. The weapon bloom, the still lagging vehicles and controls, the mouse deceleration, all the spots on the map that have invisible walls, smoke grenades blocking grapple hooks (and sometimes bullets according to some accounts), occasionally spawning as an enemy visually despite still being on the same team. Not to mention how completely and utterly incompetent the UI is. Squads are busted, there isn't really a score board and even without the plethora of server issues it takes way too long to get into a game. lmao not even close

Boris is great for defending. The turret is another thing to shoot at and it spots enemies. Casper is great for recon drone shenanigans or simply spotting for your team. You can also really annoy enemy tanks with the EMP shot.

That's what I mean by why bother he just isn't as good as other specialists that have a similar play style. And I'd much rather have a turret that can act as an early warning system, tags enemies with a wallhack that let's you see them through walls for a few seconds or in the most hilarious cases, actually kills people. Specialists: more options are good! e: watching the turret shoot at people as they are parachuting in from above will never get old. That alone is a huge boon for defending a point.

Has anyone put in some work with the lever action rifle? Not sure what niche this is supposed to fill since it seems to be worse than the SVK in every single way. It shoots way slower, has a longer reload and becomes a 3hit kill at long ranges. The slow rate of fire is absolutely brutal. The only thing it has over the SVK is that it has no bloom or deviation while you are moving either with ADS or hipfiring. The bullet will go where your crosshair is. But that isn't nearly enough to make up for everything else unless you are some sort of headshot god, and even then the SVK is accurate enough at close range that I have hipfired my way to victory against people who jumped me. I wasn't sure exactly how Dice planned to balance this gun against dmrs and slug shotguns. I don't have slugs on the shotgun unlocked, but I assume that is worse than the SVK or lever action. But at least with a shotgun you can change ammo type on the fly so you aren't completely hosed at close quarters. Mr Luxury Yacht posted:While it's pretty Battlefield to be able to drop vehicles on top of buildings, it's a nightmare for balance. If you are defending on Hourglass breakthrough and manage to get a tank to land on point D1(top of the skyscraper), I don't think it's possible for you to lose at anymore. Or maybe even without the tank. You can only get up there through the elevator(lol) or with some ziplines. It's also tall enough that you can't fly a drone up there to blow the defenders.

Mr Luxury Yacht posted:In that case with DLSS enabled I'm getting regular 45-55 FPS with Ryzen 3600 and fast RAM when anything action is going on in-game on medium at 1440p. If perfoverlay is to be believed if not for my CPU I'd be getting 100+ fps. What total dogshit. Apparently Origin has an fps counter(application setting -> origin ingame) too and the result is something between the cpu and gpu counter.  It was consistently at 198/199 at the menu screen while the cpu fps would fluctuate a bit so who even knows. Or you can Geforce Experience and see what that shows.

Perestroika posted:I do have to say, some of these breakthrough point placements are very silly. The rooftop ones on Orbital and Kaleidoscope are functionally impossible to capture for the attackers. They should change it so the defenders have to defend the point but also the building itself. Yes, the attackers should be able to destroy the building and then capture the rubble. Levolution is back baby! e: or have the tornado spawn on the point every single time. Throw those defenders around for a bit

Booyah- posted:has anyone found use for the level action? just seems like a sniper with slightly better rate of fire, but the SVT does that even better as far as I can tell Besides looking cool, no. It's basically SVK > dmrs / sniper rifles >> lever action > shotgun with slugs. Compared directly against the SVK, the lever action has worse rof, damage and reload speed. And the SVK is accurate enough with hipfire that you can do better with it than the lever action at close range. Not quite sure how I would even buff the lever action to give it a niche. Maybe give it enough damage to 1hit KO with a chest shot out to like 10m. Might be OP, but considering how slow the ROF is if you miss at close range you are dead anyways. Or let it shoot frag rounds / exploding bullets because if you are gonna suck, may as well be cool while doing it.

Combat Pretzel posted:This game is odd. Too much vehicular combat. And the imbalance between weapons that need unlocking. And the RPGs don't come without enough ammo considering the amount of tanks and vehicles there are vs. how much rockets it takes. You can't really solo tanks anymore unless you use c5. Get a squadmate to help you. Or somehow get 3 rear shots on them. The LCMG drops down to 18 damage at 50m and beyond, so it takes 6 bullets to kill at that range and beyond.

Consequence of everyone being able to grab a launcher I guess is that they aren't very good on their own. The LCMG and PP both start at 26 dmg and have 18dmg at 50m

Also for spotting / early warning against people trying to parachute into whatever position you are holding. Combat Pretzel posted:I figured the green circle on the ground would be the range, that’s why I was wondering. The green circle is for Boris' passive, which is supposed to make the sentry better. I haven't really paid much attention to what it does though since I am never that close to the sentry.

veni veni veni posted:yeah, but that is in the tank slot and unlocks at lvl 50. My point is that the HC is too powerful for a transport, which is something you should be able to spawn whenever. And just making the HC suck by nerfing it is a lamer solution than just making people use it in place of a tank. The main issue with the hovercraft is not that it's too powerful. It's too powerful to be spawning all of the time. The Bolte is in the transport slot. efb
