What's your SPM lad?

>>167779270
Right around 666, lol
I think it's because I play conquest all the time and I'm always running across the map to deal with backcappers.

>>167779672

I play a lot of domination because I prefer the short games over getting bogged down in conquest or operations.. It doesn't help that I don't enjoy BF1s vehicle mechanics as much as I did BF4s. Domination is a pretty good way to rack up your SPM (also battlepacks and XP if you're in need of that) and to combine playing objectives and killing everybody.

I kind of agree with you because it does bother me when I lose because my teammates clearly aren't even trying to contribute to the win. But on the other hand it really sounds like you're that guy all capsing in the comments the whole match about your "shit team" and sounds like he hasn't had fun since Clinton was president
To that I would definitely be the guy telling you to calm the fuck down and try to have some fun

>>167797496
winning is fun, having a decent even match is fun even tho you might lose, watching some nigger go 45/0 in an arty truck on attack always 500meters++ from any sort of objective when the enemy is using their ressources like they aint retarded isnt fun.
also people typing "shit team" in chat are usually the "i type in allchat no matter who im adressing" kinda people so yeah

>>167809591
10-A hunter. Automatico.

That's about it.

Different people have different opinions on which support/medic/scout weapons are good but they have multiple options with no broken standout.

If I had to remove one weapon from the game for being raw bullshitium broken it would be trench darts for the fighter though.

>>167811541
10-a has been nerfed a million times, dont lump it in as the same tier as the broken ass autistico

>>167803557
Unironically kill people.

You only rack up insane flag points if you all cap, so so long as you're within 1 flag hold of the opponent kills will win you the game faster.

>>167811747
10-A hasn't been nerfed, just adjusted. They reduced the damage per pellet then added pellets to compensate. If you can aim center of mass it still OHKs out to 20 feet and 2 hit kills out to 45.

The M97 is how shotguns should be balanced, the 10-A is still faceroll tier. And the 12g needs a lot of help.

>>167817928
I usually have K bullets along with the spotting flares but the decoys were pretty fun, making it look like we have 3 extra snipers

>>167818228
Infantry/Sniper only difference is one has a scope

Trench/Cavalry fires faster, has alright hipfire and does less damage, two shot kill unless you hit the head.
Apparently the cavalry variant has higher bullet velocity than the trench

What is the absolute scummiest thing you've done in BF?

>>167818580
other than disrupting repairs, what are the benefits of K bullets?

>>167820545
They do actual damage to the Sentry elite class and tear up planes, easy to disable engines and break wings

>>167820545
shooting motorcycles

>>167820545
They actually do reasonably good damage for what they are, given how far the be fired and how easy they are to lead with their velocity and drop. If you use them as the description says and have 3 or more scouts firing at once it's actually cancerous as fuck for vehicles on the map. Light armour/planes get blown up almost instantly. The heavy tanks cannot be effective when they are taking nonstop chip damage.

I think overall when people play 1 properly, the vehicles are all woefully underpowered. In general there is little coordination so planes can bomb infantry with impunity and tanks can fend off that one assault. But whenever a vehicle is actually focused down it just melts. If a squad all fires on a plane doing a strafing run it's done for. A tank trying to fight off 3 assaults at once is extremely difficult when each assault can throw 3 AT grenades in about 4 seconds. Even at longer range, you are looking at 3x17 damage focused ontop a tank and people can fire their AT gun every few seconds.

>>167819035
that is just good tactics, anon

scummiest thing a teammate has done to me in bf1 is jump on top of the AA gun while I'm shooting, getting myself blown up.

Other than that, teammates have been playing fairly nice: medics reviving, supports providing ammo, people spotting.

I expected the behavior to be far worse, even a lack of teabagging going on. Maybe it's different on PC.

>>167820064
>hillbabbys
I'm using this from now on :P

I like it better than the other derogatory names for scouts.

>>167821131
So what is the best loadout for an aggressive scout, who will keep at the distance to spot threats but also help capture the objective.

I usually run the Russian 1895 sniper (6x) and Gewehr 98 Markman (4x)

>>167822217
Literally any infantry variant of a rifle
Spot flare
Whatever gadget you want that isn't the sniper shield

>>167822217
you shouldn't need a scope, if you are so far away aiming is difficult with iron sights you are too far away to be of any use, unless you are a korean pro sniper. Just use whatever rifle you like best, spotting flares and whatever secondary weapon you like. K rounds are only really good if you are using them with your team, they are pointless when you are the only one shooting a tank. If the map is light on vehicles, or your team is doing a decent job killing them already you can use tripwire bombs instead. For sidearm I like the really high damage revolver. it has a round by round reload which is slow, but you can 2 shot people with it and a rifle shot followed by a quick switch to the revolver is an easy kill at range.

>>167818389
Russian Cavalry should be in the medic class.

>>167822438
for infantry variants, what magnification is best, and does FOV affect it?

All my years of always maining the DMRs in battlefield games is paying off, the medic rifles are fucking awesome. The M1 in BC2 is still the best one though.

>>167823129
I usually use 1.5x or 2.0x, There's an option to make FOV not change when you ADS somewhere in the settings I think

>>167823404

>>167823742

>>167824315
>>167823742
BF4 had more players online nearly 2 years after release (150k) than BF1 does right now(120k). Hardline had 220k players at peak and that plummeted within a few months, there are only 3k people playing now between all platforms. 4 was a game that had a lot of regular players, whereas Hardline was flavour of the month and 1 seems to be surviving mainly on new players for now, you don't see many with a relatively high rank. We might see some spikes when DLC drops but I think 1 is slowly going to drop players too without many regular holdouts. That's why there is much less discussion happening. I'm actually looking forward to Battlefront 2 even though 1 was a shitshow. if they fix the shitty hero system, get rid of the fucking horrendous card system, add more then a couple of maps and give weapons actual variety that game could be unreal. 1 just had so many bizarrely imbalanced design choices.

I think the zeroing is off for the trench bomb targeter, I rarely get good hits when I use it. just guessing using the chase cam is much more accurate I find.

weapon skins are cancer. wasting my precious dev megabytes on cosmetics rather than making more fucking weapons to use.

>>167832427

>>167837030
>selb marksman
>best gun in the game

>>167837030
>topfrag even as medic

what did you mean by this? Medic is easy to get kills with, I usually do best with medic because at mid-long range nothing stands a chance.

>>167837030
Use the Autoloading 8 .35 or Selb 1906 if you actually want a gun that pays dividends when mastered. The Selb 1916 is a piece of shit because even at its max potential, it has an awful real ttk. It isn't even the best ease-of-use medic gun, that title would go to the Mondragon Optical or 1907 SL Trench if the sights on both weren't utter garbage.

>>167837387
except midlong is dominated by the ultra lowdrag, 800m/s bullet velocity low skillcap single-action rifles of the scout class. the only reason why you aren't getting absolutely buttraped by them is because diced significantly shrunk the head hitbox so you can no longer fire in the general vicinity above the shoulders and headshot

>>167837708
>except midlong is dominated by single action

its not though?

I haven't played BF1 in ages, is it true that they removed the ability to bomb planes with the trench fighter's bombs?

>>167838930
you can do it, but it does shit damage

the best way to onebang planes now is with the bomber killer rockets and that requires way more skill than the cheesy trench darts

>>167839015
well, that's gay. bomber killer is shit against inf. guess I'm not reinstalling after all

>>167839106
>airchav mad he can't cheese his peers and shit on infantry in one package
why am i not surprised

>>167839165
it's more a matter of the machine guns being a complete joke where rear gunners think they are hot shit for outdamaging you while they are missing 90% of their bullets

>>167795109

>there are people itt that dont have the Phantom achievement and DICE camo for bf4

Lmao do you even autism?

>>167839285
they nerfed the rear guns' damage and buffed the damage of the fighter machine gun as well as increased its overheat threshold. bombers also take additional damage vs fighter machine guns

you can definitely down bombers and attack planes with just your guns but it's inefficient with a back gunner because you have to keep your distance and harass them in multiple passes. attacking in a perpendicular angle with rockets is the best way to obliterate them

the seat swap trick is no longer viable with the power balance shifted to the fighter but with a dedicated gunner, one fighter will have some trouble

and that's fine, you shouldn't be able to easily beat another plane 1v2 with a loadout geared for ground attack. if you pick the loadout meant for air attack however, you can easily obliterate them even 1v2. that's good balance

>>167839106
it only takes two full bursts of the main gun to down a bomber. trench guns are still supremely powerful against infantry, bomber killer is only good if you want to go purely anti air and only monte grappa has enough planes to bother with that.

>>167839285
only if you approach from directly behind. to take down bomber I usually come in from the rear at about a 45 degree angle to the side and above them. it's still easy to lead your shots, but now the rear gunner has to lead as well. any sort of evasive movement will throw their aim off but the bomber is so huge it doesn't matter for you.

Honestly thoguh like 75% of the time I just fly directly behind bombers and attack planes and their gunner still can't hit me.

>>167840674
Then people must really be awful bad. I don't do planes much but whenever I jump into a gunner seat I just murder everything flying around me.

>>167842292
>Then people must really be awful bad.
yes, that's the battlefield audience nowadays

>>167822217
For long range the Gewehr 98 really is the best, due to its fast muzzle velocity. The "fire rate" values don't really matter much on the single action sniper rifles. The only reason to take the Russian 95 is if you're engaging within its sweet spot consistently.

My favorite aggressive scout rifle is the SMLE Infantry. The carbine is technically better but I dislike the target shooting sights (called optical in-game) and for me the SMLE is THE gun of WW1. Also because it has a 10 round magazine and the closest ranged sweet spot.

Flare gun is the best scout gadget, and I like incendiary trip bombs because they're a multipurpose tool. K bullets have limited use but if you attack a vehicle's weak point you can disable it with one or two shots, for example a side gunner on a tank. Disabling tracks takes too many shots and assaults and supports are better at that sort of thing. Sneaking up on a tank, dropping a tripwire bomb then setting it off is a good way to harass a tank, even though the risk is very high.

It could easily be, if you mastered the timing of it is what I'm saying

3 hit kill, can outsnipe shigs very easily, fuckhuge mag that you can kill way more people with than the majority of guns which require a reload after 1-2 kills

>>167837387
other classes should clearly be getting more than you if youre actually doing your job and healing/reviving. I like most medic guns but that + the ridicilous gas spam means you shouldn't be top fragging as medic unless you're playing with total shitters

>>167865857
see, the rof is so terrible that you won't win a 1v1, let alone a 1v2 or 1v3 against equally skilled players. a large magazine is irrelevant when the gun itself gets shat on by almost every other gun

mastering the auto 8 .35 on the other hand, lets you beat every other gun 1v1 except the autistico in close to medium range, and the auto revolver beats the autistico so you have every engagement under 47m covered

the mondragon is the gun you want for longer-range engagements, not the selb 1916

>>167866989
im not even the guy youve been talkin to but saying medic can only topfrag if everyone else is bad is just blatantly false and dumb

>other classes should clearly be getting more than you

Still don't agree with that. I'm very rarely so busy being a medic I don't have time to shoot, that's only when I'm the only medic trying to heal and revive like 10 people at once. You can throw pouches while moving and you only revive when safe which usually means getting a kill or two on whoever it was that killed your teammate. The way people can choose not to spawn and just wait for a revive now makes this all much easier too.

I just use the factory rigotti too. I've use DMR type weapons way more than any other type in every BF since BC2 though so I'm really used to their playstyle though.

>>167884694

BAR is bae though I can't justify using anything else

>>167907150
I only use BAR on smaller maps, or if I only play around parts of maps with confined spaces.

I just love using bipod/scopes in these games. Leading shots by several meters on infantry running in the open, firing full auto but still having every shot land on target is satisfying as fuck. Suppression means even at super long range it is extremely difficult for a sniper to hit anyway and you can just chip away at them only hitting 1 in 4 shots. The bipod/scope version of the BAR is too unweidly for run adn gun use, but merci can make it work.

>>167906179
I haven't checked the case for BF1, but in BF4 you really needed premium to make the good emblems. But yes, the actual emblems themselves are made using a small selection of shapes. it's cool what people can do with it. I have the artistic skills of monkey though so I just steal them from other people.

>>167904205
Sounds ok. if there are another 3-4 DLCs of this size perhaps 1 could end up being a full game. if I wasn't so worried about the playerbase dying I would quit for 12 months and come back once a bunch of DLC is out.

what a fuckugly gun

>>167902157

I think it will be balanced similar to the DMRs. 42-33 or so damage per shot

Think a 20 round mandragon sniper that needs to fire 3 rounds before it can get long range accuracy

Even a 3btk at all ranges wouldn't be OP as it would still be around what the BAR pulls off at long range while killing around as fast as the benet in cqc

>>167908006

>BAR telescopic is unwieldly

While mostly true the gun is probably the best of everything support has if you are good at managing recoil. Bonus points for learning to use it now since storm variants are catching nerfs soon and it will likely be best BAR variant

As much as I enjoy using the fighter I think the buff was a bad thing. It did not matter the guns were weak because you are so much faster than the bomber and attack plane it's only a matter of time before you shoot them down anyway. You are never at risk of being shaken off. it makes it boring because even 1v3 in the fighter, if you are facing off against attack planes you can still crush them all.

They should've not had a fighter at all. The attack plane could've been the fighter, with anti armour, anti infantry and anti air loadouts. Give the bomber one super heavy loadout, standard bomb loadout for inf and armour, the firememe one and one support loadout that has a large variety of drops like gas, smoke, mines, flares and even pouches.

>>167920306
Everyone will just switch to the storm variant. I have no idea why auto trench is getting nerfed when every other nerf is to storms.

What do you even do all match, fly around and wat for an enemy bomber plane to spawn?

>>167929834
They rape blobs of defenseless infantry with darts and sometimes murder other aircraft.

Try it sometime, just fly over some contested cap point and fire darts. Collect 3+ kills.

>>167929834
You can absolutely shit on infantry. Almost every single use of trench guns you make you can get a kill. Every second time your guns reload will be enough for your flares to reload, so a point can be spotted nonstop. If you know the layout of maps well and were infantry tend to group up it's not hard to get triple or quad+ kills. Any 1v1 against an attack plane or bomber is a gimme if you aren't an idiot taking on their rear gunner. It's much easier to gank AA gunners on the ground because you are faster.

I think point C on empires edge conquest is my least favourite point to cap in the whole game.

>>167938952
The tip of the front post is where the bullet goes, there is a bit of spread with medic rifles though so at longer ranges you might not hit. Also bullet velocity is fairly slow so even at mid range you have to account for that and lead your shots. In other words, practise.

>>167939241

Would you recommend using the iron sights or buffalo sights?

Just thinking about it, at least on conquest there really isn't a great deal of good places to put a beacon for the majority of flags.for most maps the central flags are always sort of in the open, buildings are often full of fucking scouts anyway too. a beacon would be only good for backcapping. still would make me actually consider playing scout though.

>I base rape in the scout heli with a repair bitch

Not even talking about that since literally any bum that knows how to the keep sticks can do that. I'm talking about attack helos.

even with all the added gizmos, the attack helicopters were a complete downgrade from BF3. On Golmud Railways for example, as a pilot I had to spend so much looking for the armada air vehicles and ground AA's that it was nearly impossible to focus on tanks for more than a minute at a time.

I would have rather had gunners flares than all the crappy optics.

>>167976347
You can't rep in the air anymore, it does fuckall. You have to land for reps to do anything in BF4, and I play solo.

And the attack heli is the strongest vehicle in BF4, while in BF3 the strongest vehicle was the Jet.
Golmud is a bad example, as it's literally the worst map for helicopters. Because there's little cover. Still the attack heli in BF4 outranges the MAA, so you can actually kill it before it can even hit you. The magic of TV+TOW.

Just git gud lad.

Nah m8. AA-tank and LAV with APFDS rounds were the best vehicles in that game

>>167977316

they're not allowed to patch PC without patching the consoles as well

Waiting on teammates to revive like

>don't get a battlepack

What the fuck is the point of the 12G and who would ever use it?

You can't one shot somebody even if the muzzle is literally touching them, and the quickness of the followup shot is irrelevant because the recoil is so high.

>>167983378
fire rate my dude.

>>167983481

What's the use of the fire rate when your followup shots are going 2 feet up in the air?

>>167983540
no use, just fire rate my dude. shoot fast ask questions later.

>you don't need to be a better shot, you just need to fire MORE BULLETS!

>>167983684

I'm somewhere around 85 kills with it and I have not found the fire rate useful. Once I get my service star I won't use it again unless I go for the other two variants somewhere down the road.

>>167984004
It really is the most useless shotgun out there. The backbored is the best out of all of the 12 gauges, but if you're going for shots fired the extended gives you a few more bullets.

Honorable mention goes to the trench shotgun sweeper, because a fully auto pump shotgun in WW1 makes a ton of sense!

>>167984830
the M97 was amazing because of that though, just hold the trigger and pump the action until everything in front of you is dead

>>167984830

I was using the Hunter, which I guess is the worst.

On this weapon discussion note, why does the 12g extended have the worst recoil of the bunch when the extra weight on it should cause it to have better recoil than the other variants?
Also 'low weight' variants are stupid

>>167984928
Slamfire is a completely different mechanic than full auto.

>>167985512
Low weight was dumb until they gave them bipods in the fall update. They really do go from quick to ADS meatgrinders to stationary lasers well now.

>>167985852
I understand that, I don't know if the guy I was responding to does though.

>>167986003
I'm just talking about the thought behind it, "low weight recovers accuracy faster"
Why would it do that, if it weighs less it should be bouncing all over the place and recover more slowly.
The laser effect is a bit annoying when they kill you from 150m away though

What can I do to have some fun in this game?

>hillniggers camping the points in conquest
>retards manning the behemoths on operations
>automemeicos everywhere
>conquest being huge circlejerks because of bad map design and retard teams
>morons that pull light tanks and arty trucks and camp on one side of map being totally useless
>airplanes are untouchable bc bombers blow the AA guns and nobody can get an AA truck because point above

I don't want to be a shiggy but it's so much fun to countersnipe

My girlfriend didn't text me back so I'm drinking and playing BF1. Surely she isn't cheating on me right lads

>>167988472
use infantry rifles and countersnipe, its more rewarding and you'll get points for spot flare and being on objectives

>>167988584
I just can't get good with ironsights, what's the best zoom?

>>167988856
max or 1.5x
what gun do you like to use?
If you're countersniping the G 95 probably isn't the best idea

>>167989020
G98 or russian 1895

You should be fine then, both of those rifles have high velocity rounds and flat trajectories
Just spot the lens flare and change your zeroing if necessary

>>167988472
Kill the hillniggers with your gas mask. It's a thing, look it up.

Well, it looks like Dice's ideas for the French DLC melee weapons and elite class actually all come from a video Forgotten Weapons put out in February of last year.

what the fuck were they thinking making the darts reload time so quick?

>>167992236
it's going to cop some nerfs soon I can feel it. By far the most powerful single player anti infatry vehicle in the history of battlefield. Even moreso than the little birds since it's so much harder to shoot down.

No gf>girlfiend who cheats on you with niggers

This coming update better have more server stability because I'm sick of getting kicked out of 45 minute long operations right as we're about to win.

>spawn as cavalry class
>jump off horse
>I'm basically a scout who not only has insane amounts of health and two light AT grenades, I can also heal and resupply myself
I don't get it, it's basically an elite class you can just spawn into and I don't recall anybody complaining about it

>>167994132
it's like they are encouraging people to do it as well, the gear you get while actually on the horse is rubbish.

>>167994132
The gun's nothing like the scout version in terms of damage curve, but yeh it's tons of fun.
Best melee weapon in the game too.

How do i stop dying to automaticos?

They should remove the AA's on the spawn, as well as the one on the nearest flag to spawn. Then include an spotting based auto AA in the spawn. People still unironically try to switch seats to shoot down planes on their tail and it's really difficult to shake a tail.

>>167994926
Start running with a 10-A Hunter

>>167995538
heres a better solution

ready for it?


>remove all planes

game just improved immensely for literally 99.9% of the playerbase

>>167996157
But how will I go 30-0, highest vehicle destroys and 100 spotting flare assists in each game?

>>167996342
Ground Support attack plane?

>>167998190
and get shot down straight away by the enemy fighter

Just got this game desu. Best class? Haven't played any BF games since BF3.

go easy on me

>>167975675
the aa mine is an exploit in and of itself because dice forgot to give it a deploy time so it fires almost as soon as you put it down. i don't use it as a mine but rather like a manpad - i only deploy it to shoot down helicopters in front of me and the only time they can ever dodge it is if they're already using ecm to block some other guy's manpads. it's especially funny when i'm facing off those scout heli whores janking around close to the ground and get blown up by aa mine + smaw combo

with the manpads buff, they deal 40+ damage and heavy disable helicopters for an easy smaw kill. they lockon and fire so fast upon deployment that virtually no one can react to it in time

>>167974129
>Kharg Island
>Caspian Border
>Operation Firestorm

I miss those maps ;_;

>>168000027
Best class? I dunno, depends on the map and your team. But just beginning the game, it doesn't hurt to start out with medic.

Don't get too concerned with leveling up any class past 3, none of the level 10 guns are worth the grind.

Have fun and ptfo!

>>167977534
Only if the gunner and pilot in the chopper are on point and surprise the MAA. In the 800 hours I played BF4 I recall only one pilot/gunner pair that could do that regularly and I remember them because they would always play the same maps and absolutely rape everybody the entire game even when people tried to focus them. 30mm can shred a chopper in seconds and a well timed active protection is all you need to negate the TOW, at least saving your life from the TOW/TV combo. If the map is really tight Zunis are an even better choice because they knock the chopper around as well as causing damage.

The active missiles have infinite range and it's very easy to tag a chopper. Just sitting in the open is going to get you crippled by the TV missile but if you play smart the MAA is always a hard counter to attack choppers.

>>168001189
Best BF map was the rush map that started on the mountain and after capping the point you jumped off the helipad. The whole team freefalling with choppers nosediving next to you was cool as fuck.

>>167995538
Is it easier to fly on consoles or pc?

>>168001682
I was more of a conquest player but rush on Damavand Peak was sweet.

>>168001756
Consoles for sure. If you do have a current gen console the controllers are plug and play so just use them when you fly.
