H-hi I'm a gamer girl and I'm kinda new to the battlefield franchise, I got into it with Battlefield 1 because my black boyfriend said that there were black soldiers in BF1 and that finally videogames were recognizing the hard work blacks had done in WW1.

What I'm trying to say is that I'd like for someone to help me learn how to play the game and get good at it on PC? I am kind of afraid of joining the mumble because I don't want to get bullied (I know everyone is basically a beta angry mysoginistic nerd in there).

Anyone wanna be my friend and help me learn battlefield? ^__^

Why are people playing BF4 when the BF1 beta is still going?

>>153957781
Two well-coordinated assaults could probably take down a tank on their own (if coordination ever happened) but for one guy nah, it's impossible unless the tank driver is completely blind, deaf, and braindead.

>>153958086
He probably plays against tanks playing in first person.

>>153958226
He probably exclusively plays tanks and has no idea how hard it is to kill them as infantry in this installment.

Classes are pointless, tanks are too op. The rocket launcher is only good for killing people. You can only use it exposed out in the open, it's a joke. It does no damage to tanks and you have to be out in the open to even use it. Sadly bf4 is way better than this game and going to the past was a big mistake. We went from jets to playing with sticks

My main concern is that there's so little situational awareness
Spotting last 1.5 seconds, the minimap doesn't show audio, And the map has so few choke points.
Everyone seems to be getting shot from behind

Jesus

>>153970721
This, a billion times. Said it in one of the earlier threads. No positional spotting from unsuppressed weapons is a huge mistake and takes away a pretty giant skill that people familiar with the franchise have developed over the years. It's not like they slowed the rest of the game down by that much when it comes to player movement, so the only thing you can do is run around like an idiot looking for a fight, hoping to get the drop on someone.

>>153970721

It has more to do with evaluating when to push and when to hide. Anyone can tell what direction the gunshots are coming from but seeing 1, 2, or 3 enemy doritos on the minimap making those gunshots will change how you approach the situation.

In BF1, you have no information to evaluate on the minimap, pretty much ever. Fucking. Boring.

Why is the attack plane so good?

>>153985557
Because no one uses fighters.

>>153985664
The fighter's guns aren't nearly as good as the attack plane's, though. You're bound to kill pilots with splash, while with fighters, you kind of have to hope they won't bail out early, unless you're close enough to roadkill them as they eject.

Question: How do you get to be on the armoured train?
It seems like it's always the enemy team that gets it.
I don't think I've ever once been on the team that has it.

>>153989157
after a certain point in the game the losing team gets it, enter it from the spawn screen. it just gets filled up super fast. Get the AA gun if you can, I think it's seat 4. You can obviously shrek planes, but it also has splash damage and no drop so you can get infantry very easily also. It does reasonable damage to light vehicles too. Shit gainst heavy armour but normal the entire train will be shooting at them anyway so they don't last.

Fighters can easily nuke Attack and Bombers with the Rockets or Trench Fighter before they even know you're behind them.

>>153983182
machine guns get more accurate the longer you fire them.

>>153990491
I'm having great success with this in the beta, but you are wide open when you line up the bomb, depending on how they are flying. In a lot of the planes I've downed lie this I could've been quite easily killed by a rear gunner. Meta shi like this is going to be figured out pretty fast. I've said it before but I still dread when people start using K rounds to full effect. Squads could be easily getting cross-map tanks kills.

>>153966880
Wait a second. Isnt that avatar from one of the sims games on the GBA? Bustin out or was it Urbz?

How to you rank up Assault the fastest? Im tired of people not focusing the god damn tanks and I want the AT Gun so I dont have to run 2 ft from them to lob AT grenades.

>>153991083
Yeah, I guess the Trench Fighter guns against planes are quite risky, but rockets still work really well. I expect the MG to be buffed anyway, because right now it's just piss poor and dogfights with it take way too long, considering the enemy can have 3-4 planes up.

>Games lasting 20-25 mins longer
>much more Tug-of-war ticket wise b/w the two teams
>the train is actually a key component of the comeback

But seriously though, a good train conductor can keep A,D, and G capped for the entire duration of the trains lifespan. With competent teammates that actually push the other 4 points while the enemy is focused on the train, it's actually a major key to victory when your team is behind. I've played a ton of games where we were behind 50-100 tickets then finished out on top 300-295 etc etc

Something tells me tanks aren't exactly the most balanced in this.

>>153997080

>>153997080
I hate all the faggots who come with "le use teamplay against tanks xdd" when the AT options simply suck dick.

dynamite doesn't stick to the tank and slowly detonates one after another. if the tank isn't an oblivious retard standing 2 minutes in the same spot he just rolls away and kills you. thanks to maximum 3rd person fov every tank sees you running at it anyway

AT grenades have a fucking awful throw range, it's like they are paper floating through the air

AT mines disappear on repsawn, fucking epic

the rocket gun requiring the bipod to be fired is awful and it forces you into extremely vulnerable positions. firing at the tracks doesn't even disable it's mobility

quick repair skills on some tank loadouts that immediately heals 30hp and removes mobility disables

I love winning in battlefield, but the game suck giant ass dick if you're losing. Because then you know it's going to end up with you being forced up a corner like a giant dildo being shoved with a jackhammer in a tightly closed ass.

It boggles me how this game can be so unbalanced at times and yet have such good gaming mechanics with guns, melee, and specialized equipment. The only complaint I have for 4 was the tanks. 1 seems more balanced but I don't know why I can't find close matches.

>>153997080

There are cheaters in the game. Just yesterday I fought some dude on a horse with 0hp. He kept riding off to F.

What's the difference between trench, artillery and experimental?

>>153998827
yhea, and they almost always plays as scout so running through uncovered area makes it seems as if Dice is making a comment on the futility of war

the best way to deal with the train as a foot soldier is just to pick assault and mine the track. Mouthbreethers will run over the mines every time.

>>153999234
Trench is better for hipfiring, artillery allows you to shoot at distances better, experimental has a different fire mode (burst MP18 instead of full auto)

>>153999516
I think I'll stick with artillery then, ty.

>>153992129
this desu the train is so dangerous that when it comes sometimes I will devote myself to destroying it. lay mines/bombs, train blows itself up, suicide, repeat. usually takes 3-4 lives to get the HP down to around 20% and when it's that low often everyone in the train will just bail out. if you let the train run amok it can lock down almost the entire map

With dynamite you have to get close.
You'd be leaving your effective range to dynamite, then moving back to effective range.
Assault is centred around close range so it makes more sense for them then it does Support.

>>154004061
C4 worked fine as a support gadget in BF4.

>>154003947
Suppression is just visual now and has no other effects.
I hope they bring back the old suppression effects, it would give the MGs more usefulness.

>>154004098
MGs now fire slower and significantly less accurate.
Start out with high recoil then get progressively more accurate upon continuous fire.
BF1 isn't BF4, things work differently and classes have some pretty dedicated effective ranges.

>>154004619
Well if not dynamite then support needs some kind of additional gadget to make them more useful and versatile. A mortar, for example. It could have smoke shells as well as HE shells, which weren't outright deadly but whose main benefit would be destroying cover and a suppression effect on enemies the shells land around.

>>154004835
I agree.
Mortor semi-confirmed in one of the trailers.
No idea how it works since there's still so much unrevealed.

No it's not. Unless you use a bipod you probably won't be getting enough rounds on target to suppress them fully. Try using a sniper rifle yourself while being suppressed it works the same as the previous games.

I didn't record that video, but I fly a lot, usually have like 50 ping and it happens literally every round to me.

It feels like the tails of planes have some fucked up hitbox. It also happen that I pump a load of bullets into a plane's tail and it only does like 10 damage.

>>154006660
? you get suppressed you get more sway to your weapon. I don't know the specific mechanics of it but that's the general effect of suppression in all the recent bf games.

>>154006275

>flying attack plane
>getting chased by stunt plane
>pilot is shit enough they can't shoot me down but just slightly good enough to stay on my tail
>fly around evasively for fucking ages

ugh, it's the same as in 4 flying the attack planes and being chased by a shit stealth jet pilot.

If the rocket gun could be fired while crouching it would solve a lot of tank problems. give it a bit of sway or some shit, but being forced to prone is just begging to get sniped or killed by the tank

>>154007325
You can kill the bad ones by switching into the gunner seat. They always fly into your plane and get stuck, where you blow them up instantly.

>>154005798
That tank hunter plane is best plane
It requires skill to hit other planes
It can be used effectively against infantry and coupled with the bombs it does respectable damage to tanks
I think ive killed one landslip straight up or at least severely disabled it in one strafe with 2 canon hits and a good bomb drop
That thing is the only thing I like in bf1 so far it takes skill and is rewarding

Dogfights in bf1 are pointless anyway
Turning radius and speed the dogfighter will woin 100% of the time, it can just outrun every other plane too
Dogfighter>attack>bomber
Attack and bomber are better if you have a defensive gunner to kill those dogfighters be cause they can subsequently be used to help with ground targets

>>154007484
I tried to do that and the plane fucking nosedives for no reason
Like instantly points down and hurdles towards the earth instead of gliding
I'm pretty sure that's what happened at least

>>154007325
This, when I'm in an inferior plane I just try to hover over an AA gun over a friendly owned flag D,E, or C but no one ever fucking hops on to help

>>154007151
Aside from sway:

In BF3 you couldn't regen health while suppressed, hip fire was harder and after the 1.04 patch recoil and spread was increased.
(although they lowered it later)

In BF4 they added not being able to be spawned on someone suppressed.

In BF1 it's hard to tell exactly, but others have said that most of the old stuff is gone and I don't really notice any extra sway.
Hard to know when there's just speculation but that's what I heard, just going by what the majority have said.
Don't really snipe so I haven't really seen it for myself.

>counterknifing is gone
I'm getting BC2 PTSD from these panic knifes.

>>154007551
I thought so too but the ground support is more flexible. You can quite easily shoot down any other plane in one burst and it's much easier to tag dogfighters than using the tank rounds. The tank rounds are satisfying to use though. If the other team is really raping us with armour I'll use tank rounds just for them, but usually groundfighter is the best.

>>154007790
The sway is about the same as in prior games, I was sniping today and noticed it.

>is it worth picking up
I don't know, it depends. After 85 hours of gameplay I think it's safe to say that I fucking despise absolutely everything about this game, except for the single player mode. Then there are people who say how it was an awesome Battlefield and shit like that. Personally, I think it's utter trash and easily one of the worst Battlefields ever.

I just don't understand the thought process behind it.
Is it just to cater to political correctness? Is it so the 5 black dudes who are gonna play this can "relate" to their nameless soldiers who will die in a matter of minutes?

It's The Great War, you can't just decide "Oh also half of all the soldiers were demi-baddragonasexual" or "Half of the soldiers were actually black in this european war! How progressive!"
I know I sound like an autistic fuck, but you can't make a game about a historical event and blatantly change things about the event to fit your views.

>>154010946
I played long enough to unlock everything for all the classes because I wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing out on something fun.
I was really misguided by all those people who kept saying how awesome it was. I really tried to like it.

Also
>thinking 85 hours is a lot
I also have 646 hours in DotA 2. It was even worse with that game because I actually enjoyed it during the first 50-100 hours and I couldn't give up on it easily afterwards as it became progressively shittier. At least I haven't touched it in 2 years now.

Nope. Complete failure at BF4 riding on that old ass coattails of being someone's rep bitch back in the BF3 heyday. The only thing he's been right about in the past 3 years is that BF1 is going to be pretty fucking bad.

BF Youtubers benefit from the fact that Battlefield isn't a competitive game, so they just hop servers until they find a bunch of low rank idiots to rape and make an epic commentary about with things everybody knows anyway.

just downloaded and got the beta working
are snipers intentionally bad in this game, or is there some mechanic that makes it exceptionally different to how BF3 (my last BF game) works?

Pro-tip you don't need to account for bullet drop.

Snipers are pretty much the easiest shit in BF1

>>154022183
are you serious?
working out bullet drop was the most fun part for me in BFBC2

still, i'm trying to aim a few inches above, a few feet above, and directly on peoples heads, and even when the sniper is steady it's going left and right. so what's the deal with that

even the PC playerbase seems to be woefully aggressive towards snipers though, in just one game at least 5 people had some shit to say. not sure if it's worth it.

>lob a beautiful AT grenade right at a passing armored car

>>154021698
>Battlefield isn't a competitive game
Technically it is, it's just that nobody has ever paid attention to the competitive scene because DICE doesn't support it or really market it beyond some lipservice ESL stuff.

It's basically always had an underground comp scene filled with a few dozen people around the world that know more about Battlefield than all of the youtubers and their subscribers combined.

>>154024637
what do you need? it's the easiest sniping battlefield ever had. bullet drop is pretty much nonexistant, the bullets fly quick and the effective ranges of most other guns can't compete with you

Honestly the lack of fast vehicles like motorcycles makes a,g and e just really boring. Capturing a and g especially gives you such a ticket advantage because no one on the enemy team wants to invest 5 minutes getting there and getting out again.

The good is that everyone plays the objective now

The bad is that no one fucking revives/resupplies, and I need ammo if I have to play assault

>>154028314

It's the fact that vehicles explode on their own at spawn for some fucking reason

But that's wrong. Snipers are still just camping in the desert and tanks are still just killfarming without capping flags.

The sandstorms are kind of neat but every other weather effect is just fucking annoying and wreaks havok on my framerate.

Also some times you can't even shoot because there's some stupid rock or wall behind you which messes with the prone.

Reminder that the Battlefield 1 open beta ends on Thursday, September 8(two days from now).

Why can't I check my XB1 BF1 stats online? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah I heard that's it's a 6 month old build.

I'm not against weather effects but they shouldn't last this long. Once there was a mist that lasted for like the whole match, it's bullshit.

Seriously considering buying this instead of getting a prostitute this week.

People just charge at tanks as if they might just get ignored or something, I have no idea. I feel like BF1 has a lot more new players to the series in it than any other BF beta I've played before.

Getting the longer shots on the light tank is so satisfying since the drop is so huge.

Reminder that BFBC2 is the best Battlefield and you should be playing it.
