So I tried to finish out the last ToW tonight but after several rounds of getting very frustrated in not being able to get into a tank and one round where our team was actually too damn good so there were hardly ever any enemy points I gave up and played a few rounds as infantry. People have said it's pretty easy to get on Arras if you are the Germans and you just set on the hit and hit B from a tank but played 4 rounds on Arras and was British every single fucking time because of course I was.
Had a nice moment when trying to destroy a Sturmtiger where I hit it with my one Panzerfaust, then hit it with 2 sticks of TNT but ran out of stuff to hurt it with so I kept behind it and people kept getting out of it to repair and I'd shoot them as they got out until it got onto a point then I called a rocket down onto it.

They're going all-in on the co-op aye? Interesting strategy....
Nah, it's just what one of the developers said before the coop mode came out. Not sure why it was posted with no context.
You don't have to wait on a tank at spawn. You can just find a friendly tank on the map and hop in, maybe get a kill or two as a gunner, rinse repeat. Or look up Squad Conquest in the server browser, 2 of 3 maps have a tank each.
Or do a half-track and sit in the passenger side Gunner seat. There's always half-tracks spawning at the main spawn
I did briefly try in a Half-Track but the only thing I discovered is that they need to use more glue in the paper mache they make those things out of.
Lol that's why you need to stay way back on the hill towards the German spawn. You still may not last long but you'll likely get a fair number of kills. It sucks you have to play it that way but it is what it is.
I'll say I actually like the unlocked tank and I generally hate static turrets. I love that the Gunner has a 360 degree gun to watch your back. I'm reserving judgement until I unlock all the add-ons but so far it's not bad
Playing Combined Arms made me realize how inconsistent the fall damage is in this game. Jump from the bridge on Twisted Steel? You're fine. Jump from a two story building? Dead.
Being a half track on breakthrough is easier than in conquest, the no-go zones let you retreat and fire in safety, and the focused aspect of mainly fighting over two flags provides lots of opportunities for kills, and flanks that help your team alot.
Almost a week, time to bring up issues with this patch, Recon shots have gotten worse, MORE BULLETS ARE FUCKING VANISHING, before it was just the bolt snipers, now it's the self reloading...since i am close to hitting 20 with Recon i will continue to play this shit class, but once i hit 20 i am done until they can fix these fucking issues..
Another issues when i ADS and fire my first shot it freezes the game slightly like it has to load every thing, i have never experience this in ANY BF GAME, at the beginning of the round i have to ADS and fire a shot so it doesn't happen when I encounter an enemy...

Well that was fun, thanks Dice, sheeeeesh having to play against 12 clan members on the same team of Frontline, pugs vs well organized group, hurry up and put rented servers in this game so pug players like myself don't have to deal with this BULLSHIT, wasn't the first time i ran into this shit tonight, I ran from Conquest game where there was a ton of AOD clan members in the server...
Amyone still crashing on PC?
I get weird hitches 3 times in about 5 seconds, then a crash twice today.

Its indeed awful. Its like the sequel to silk road that nobody wanted
I got fed up with BFV 2 weeks ago and took a week off. A week later I dropped in my first frontlines for the ToW. Got absolutely crushed twice in a row. Within 10 minutes half our team would leave each round. Switched to another server, same thing for 2 rounds. Quit for the week. Is even a basic team rebalancing implemented yet? Waited another week, logged on today, took a look at the vehicle centric ToW and immediately logged out. Caught up on this thread and, yup, it's exactly what I would have expected from those ToW requirements. Man I really miss just having players play as they want, and level up and unlocks accordingly without the ToW live game aspect.
I get crashes but only on the main menu. And its not consistent at all. Sometimes its almost immedietly upon loading the game, other times I can sit on the menu for 20+ mins before it crashes.
Why does the beginning of the BFV Legacy Theme sounds like the Mario Kart 64 intro ?
I haven't been able to complete this week's ToW. I'm only short of the last assignment, with 6 kills already.

So DICE reduced the last ToW assignment to 5 kills instead of 20.
Problem is if you had more than 5 kills but less than 20 on it before their fix it now shows as unlocked but the tank itself doesn't unlock.

Instead of ??? for future, should be Soon.
This is so true
That has got to be so annoying. How do they not test that? Like yesterday, I'm getting huge flickering after a death, as others have noted too, happens frequently (base PS4) and I have to click to the Deploy screen to protect my eyes, and this has been a thing for nearly a week? Why???
Did it give you the ToW XP as well?
I don't think it granted the 30,000 XP towards my progress either.
I have about 112 hours in this game so far, but I think I am now at the point where I need a break. For me, it's the progression system that has got me bored. I don't feel like I am working toward anything I care about. Gunplay is fun and all that, but that's not what is going to motivate me to log in as much as I have been. I may pop on here and there for some battles, but other than that, I don't see any rewards I care enough about to give me that battlefield progression/reward gratification feeling I have had with previous titles.

And Squad Conquest is gone. There was 1 server last week in each of NA and Europe. Now there are none. Someone got paid to decide to remove a fun mode from the game.
Squad Conquest sucks, sorry for those that enjoyed it. If anything you have my support in that they could just up and replace shitty Domination with it permanently. But endless and scatterbrained game modes is not what Battlefield needs at all.
All these game modes and none of them really feels that good. As in the gameplay and maps were designed around trying too many modes and ended up not being that great for anything.
I'm not on board with the attrition backlash popping up in this thread lately. That system is good, it just needs more support from the game to not feel so stupid. Attrition is a bit pointless when if you run short of ammo you'll just YOLO suicide with a pistol and spawn again on your teammate in the same spot.
Oh, and with the new decoupled free-look while flying... uhhh DICE it's time to support headtracking (TrackIR) already. Adding regular joystick mapping during BF1 was a nice and much needed touch, but it's time to go full PC.

It actually felt like Squad Conquest was the mode that everything was designed around. Good maps, all the weapons worked at those ranges and you weren't totally sunk by the usual BF random shitty team mates.

IIRC i saw a comment saying EA rep or someone said to give it a day (haha...) to sync.
Regardless DICE def need to step it up with bug testing...
Holy fuck lol. But hey, at least you'll probably be able to buy it with company coins later!
Damn i think I have like 7. Will see if it unlocked when I can play again.
Hah. I have 3. I'm actually completely shocked that a stupid bug like that didn't just fuck me, glad I turned off the game the other day when I did.
West coast servers are generally always full or have one or two with a que. Seems like there are less west coast servers than east coast. So that's probably why they are nearly or always full.
I don't think it sucks, but it's not why I play BF. I don't play BF for small game modes. If I wanted that type of experience, I'd play CSGO, CoD, Quake Champions, and etc. BF to me is about large scale warfare. A lot of vehicles, players, and huge maps. You are just a cog in the war machine. There are plenty of FPSs that do small modes right. However, there are few that do large scale right. So I'd rather have large scale modes, which is what BF has been about since its inception.
So the update didn't change much, you can still do assignments in combined arms, also stay alive daily was completed in combined arms hahahahahahahaha...
Recon is really a shit class, but then again Dice don't give a fuck, have yet to fix the vanishing bullets or even took a good look at how bad this class is, BF1 snipers were all max damage, i have had players take 1 shots close range from Bolt sniper and live, BF3/4/1 players died close range with 1 shot....fix your game man sheeeeesh...

For the new operation, its airborne (night?) on panzerstorm, breakthrough panzerstorm, rush arras and last stand (tie) arras
Yeah, something like that. I hope there is a 24/7 server for it. Having to play the other GOs would suck considering the length of the games.
FUCK THIS SHIT
As reported here, I also had just 6 kills in the last assignment. I was looking up to complete it and unlock the tank. So now I have nothing to do AND I got no reward.
This is the first time I feel like this after an update. Seriously.
Like being a BFV fan is now being a WWE fan. You know it SHOULD be better, it has everything, but somehow always has a way of dropping you.
But I keep coming back, damn it.

So I noticed that on Twisted Steel Conquest some times the Germans seem to spawn a few people on D flag at the start of the game. You notice that Germans start capturing D, G and F long before any of the Allies get to A B or D.
It's rather annoying.
