"I would say that I was absolutely convinced of the possibility of our making a uranium engine but I never thought that we would make a bomb and at the bottom of my heart I was really glad that it was to be an engine and not a bomb." ~ Heisenburg
The German atomic energy program decided, by 1942, to be entirely focused on reactor development. That book you linked about the 1943 raid makes me chuckle because the Germans had already, explicitly decided not to pursue a bomb program in the year before. They instead were pursuing a modest reactor program that, even if they had the heavy water, would not have been much of a threat.
There just was never a serious German bomb program. At best they got some scientists to speculate about whether a bomb was plausible, then they decided it wasn't and they abandoned the idea.

That would certainly fix the visibility problem. Everyone left standing would be glowing like crazy
99% infantry player, this week tank shit can go fuck itself i won't be doing this crap..i use tanks to spawn on, nothing more..
LOL, n1
Its crazy how so many things go wrong with this game. I cant get back to it, even if it is installed.
Battlefield used to be a good, interesting, addictive game... now it's broken, that made people move to a f2p game.
There is one change I really do like. 20mm cannons do zero damage against tanks. So all the light tanks running around with the 20mm upgrade and AA tanks do nothing against tanks.
Less known != less important.
It might be a reality you dislike, but it's hard to argue that famous battles are a far better selling point than "discover those battles you never heard of" for the mass. And that might matter in a AAA game which sold less that it's predecessor. GAAS most likely mean that it's future content and how much of it we get depend on the game success, based on that it's not in the least surprising that most of us want to see Dice releasing content that will attract players so we get more of that content ( or at least not less ). I for one, know for a fact that at least 3 of my friends who have the game or Origin Access, would play the game again if we saw the release of wake/stalingrad/midway and the like, but don't care at all about the coming Grece map.
Thank you DICE. Better late than never.Also found this. Now this is what I'm talking about. Good move.
Last night played two rounds: Rotterdam and Panzerstorm. Is it me or performance improved? I was able to push settings a bit more and staying with good performance.
Anyway, I didn't encounter problems. Which is weird seeing how many people say they have. I found visibility better, and got much more kills than before. I imagine that most of the problem is in Devastation.
Combined arms sucks though, no matchmaking and my friends are playing Apex lol.
Oh and I destroyed my first plane with a tank!

Finished most of the assignments. I'm on the last one and it's kind of a pain in the ass. You need 20 kills with a vehicle while on an enemy objective, so if it's neutral or friendly contested those kills won't count. So far I got 6/20.
That being said Conquest Tanks is the most fun I had in a while. Since players are trying to do assignments, nobody gives a fuck. Tanks are no longer just sitting back and every vehicle is being used in someway. Also you see the new vehicle balance really come into play. The heavy tanks are actually very good, they can take a lot of punishment now and deal it out. The light tanks role has been diminished since 20mm cannons doesn't damage armor now. The tanks actually feel powerful now and not just points for assault players. Also for some reason I was doing really well, better than I usually do. So maybe the new TTK/TTD helped in someway.
So there was a bright side to this patch.

Even the AP shells? I feel like the AP shells should atleast do some damage since they are a upgrade and are in limited supplies.
My light tanks weren't speced for AP, so I didn't get to try those. However, i'm assuming AP does damage to tanks.
OP

Gotcha. I will check it out the next time I play. Regardless I am glad the tiger tank seems like a beast now.
I'd hazard a guess that Dunkirk hasn't featured very often because:
a. It was a pretty one sided affair kinda like why Pear Harbour isn't in many games, the image of it conjures an army sitting at a beach while a slowly encroaching force is going to wipe them out. Not the most exciting scenario for a game. Could be excellent though, in a single player game trying to make your way through enemy lines to get to the beach.
And b. It's all British personel before the Americans were involved. Most of the games skew americans or show British/Russia engagements into the war after Americans got involved. I don't think we usually see much before.
Dunkirk is pretty big for us though I can't speak for all UK but in Glasgow a lot large chunk of our WW2 studies were spent on Dunkirk and D-Day whereas I'd assume Americans would get similar treatment to Pearl Harbour?
Just a guess.
I'm on that last assignment, have to kill 20 enemies attacking with a vehicle and I am confused.
Do I have to kill 20 people ON an objective? While I am IN an objective? It's confusing as hell. Only managed to get 1 kill so far, from something. :/

The kills have to be with a vehicle in the cap radius of an enemy flag and if the flag turns neutral or friendly it won't count.
That's quite annoying....
Vehicles are awful at just rushing into objectives, they get instantly hammered by mines, dynamite, rockets and everything else the moment they get close to a objective.
So far I've been using the half track. Players generally ignore it because they think it's empty, so just park it somewhere and switch to the inner gunner. The biggest issue are teammates that spawn on it, they'll move it or draw attention to it.
Do they actually play their own game because in Battlefield 5 being in the Cap circle for a vehicle is instant death.
Well, you could center it around the french regiments that stayed behind to slow down the German advance for the rest of the troops on the beach to be able to evacuate. They probably had some hefty desperate fights before getting captured/killed.
I just figured it out.
You DON'T have to be on a point to score the points for the last assignments, you have to kill enemies who are on the objective with a vehicle.

Played some combined arms lol gonna abused this shit until they fix it got few gold parts thanks dice

Good to know. I keep driving tanks up in objective areas :lol
One of the worst post lauch support ever in terms of fresh content. They still fixing the bugs that are supposed to be fixed by release. We are still not completely out of the beta stage. They make "new content" like coop with brain dead AI that nobody wants and the whole tides of war bullshit is just a rotation of different game modes. With the release of APEX, i have no desire to play this game anymore and im one of the biggest BF fan, i played and loved almost every BF title. I even remember playing EOD BF1942 mod on a freaking 56k internet. This franchise needs a huge break
Checked in the for the first time in weeks.
Feels like a skeleton crew is all that's left working on the game. Honestly seems they simply don't have the resources/manpower to do the fixes/additions the game needs.
Also in 5 rounds played, 2 had cheaters bragging in the chat how easy it was to get around DICE's anti-cheat while getting 40 kills in ~3 minutes.

Fixed that for ya.
Premium did nothing but split the community base.
With BF1 the dlc drops were Mar, Sep, Dec/Jan, Feb. That was one map pack in the first 10 months. I felt a little ripped off paying near launch in full for content that took so long to arrive, and was half dead within weeks anyway due to the splitting of the player base.
It doesn't feel like we're behind schedule getting maps yet, the problem is going to come when we do start getting them. I'm not sure if more than one map for Greece is even realistic, but less than four is going to go down like poking a bear with a stick. The quality and type of map is going to get an undue amount of scrutiny as well.
OP
OP
Depends on the Greece content. If it's just a single map, than I will begin to feel that way..
Since it was announced no Premium I've always expected the map content to be about 25% of the what Premium was, so about 4 maps total in 2019 maybe early 2020 and that's all.
I rather have that than what we have now which is nothing
Haha yeah. You can actually use specializations so it's more useful as a training ground than the actual training ground.
There is a glitch where sometimes (seems random?) your combined arms stats count towards your multiplayer stats though. Avoid playing until it's fixed if you care about preserving your "real" multiplayer stats. Or play it a ton and enjoy your new pro-level stats? Lol.
I swear half the rounds I played today only half the people were playing, the other half were waiting in the spawn menu trying to get a tank.
Also, I swear to god the half track is made out of paper mache. Got lit up by a f'ing AA tank and destroyed in seconds.

I was excited to see Tank Conquest or whatever it was called, until realizing it's just the name for a server rotation of CQ maps which have tanks. So even though it's tank week in ToW, it still takes forever to spawn into a tank. But hold on, some of the ToW objectives can be done in any mobile vehicle, and I see a few on the deploy screen at our spawn, and... no there's none there once I spawn in. I know that's an old issue, but come on, how hard can it be to fix? Don't show vehicles on the deploy screen that aren't there!
Yup, my kd is now 7 to 1. Crazy.
Unfortunately, this took the challenge of increasing my kd legally all for not.
Maybe I'll check out Combined Arms for the Mastery Assignments. But I don't want to "screw up" my K/D.
Urg, I guess I'll stop playing it until it's resolved. I like following my stats and how they ( usually ) increase over time.
Didn't realize co-op actually impacted MP stats. I don't care about my stats but I do care about finishing these stupid assignments. I have no shame, I don't care about getting them illegitimately. Assignments blow.
You and me mate. I'm still a bit optimistic about the new content, since Premium took long to bring new stuff too. However, even though I know that for a lot of people Firestorm is the "make it or break it" moment for the game, to me the Battle of Grece will be our first real look at what the ToW Live Service will bring us in terms of new content. If it's good, then I'll stay optimistic
Somebody that's smarter than me please explain this:
Why does a live service game, that needs to be sustained with paid cosmetics, still not have an option to do so? .... 3 months after release...

They might want to avoid the bad PR of people going "how dare they microtransaction when there is still x bug/problem from the release" and/or want to do it further from Apex release and at/around BfV BR release.
I think "get past the bugs phase" is a little of it, and the PR hit of offering MTX at launch, but we're well past that now and it's really surprising they haven't been in for a month or two. I doubt it has anything at all to do with Apex.
