I'm almost level 10 in Tides of War already so it should be no issue to hit max. Challenges are not glitched so I earned the gun earlier. Wish it didn't need a bipod as I don't like that mechanic.

So, uh, where are these 5 stationary weapons I need to build? Most of them are already built when the round starts.

On aerodrome (conquest), there's one between A and C and another between B and C. Both stationary turrets are facing towards C.

A way to check to whether a stationary weapon is near is if you bust out your fortification tool, the symbols will appear on your minimap (this works for supply stations as well).

I definitely don't get how the paradrop perk for the Blenheim MK I is supposed to work.

Nobody (except squad members) is spawning on my airplane to paradrop into the battlefield.
And when I have a squad member spawning on my Blenheim as the turret gunner and he decides to leave my airplane, it's the classic exit animation which takes a few seconds to jump out of the plane. Nothing special.

I though this perk was going to transform my Blenheim like the airplanes during Airbone on Grand Operations... It would have been so cool.

I guess this game is on 50% sale if you own a previous title. I *just* bought the game from Best Buy, so that's sad.

I'm enjoying the game because it's fairly addictive to keep everyone alive. I still disagree with the disemphasis on vehicle combat to prop up soldier combat to compete with CoD. BF2 was the last real BF game.

I absolutely love Dice shooters. Gameplay/visuals/sound. All top notch, every single time. But god almighty, they're so hilariously bad at things like tracking challenges, working menus, UI... etc..
Every damn time. Same with Battlefront.

Hoping there's one of these huge half off sales for the PC version at some point soon. Itching to jump in, but I can't afford another full-price game this month.

The Last Tiger is easily the best story of the bunch, until they force you out of the tank and saddle you with more stealth bullshit. I don't get it.

Worse the challenges are bugged. Specifically reach AA undetected and don't repair. I did both of these but the game doesn't seem to think so. Googled around, doesn't seem to just be me.

You only have to stealth if you're doing the challenges.

Speaking of, my game crashed while I was going back to get all the letters and now I've collected all 6 yet it shows 4 out of 6 in the status. I tried going back to pick them up again and they're not there. Anyone else run into this or a way to fix it?

I was going to ask if you tried a restart Hjod but did not want to be that dick asking did you try a restart. Glad it worked and next time I will.

So I just want to clarify something. For whatever reason I thought Tides of War was a new gameplay mode. Is it really just these specific assignments tied to other already existing modes? Or is there a new gameplay mode I have not discovered?

Haha, I should have tried that before I complained to be fair.

I don't think there is any other game modes.

Liking the medic changes. Feels like I can toe to toe enemies and win, which means I can revive my team.

Kind of a shame that this game shipped in the state it's in. So many bugs and new ones popped up yesterday with the newest patch. Clearly, the game could have used about 3-6 more months in the oven. I think the game would have been huge in March (assuming BR would have been ready from Day 1). They had so much negative word of mouth coming out of the beta and from people that played it early with EA Access/Deluxe editions that it killed their success at the official launch. Hoping the game can recover and slowly start growing the player base, but it's got a ways to go. Game looks and plays awesome when you're not being handicapped by weird bugs/issues.

Are my squad mates and I the only ones NOT encountering more crashes and issues since the patch?

We have finished the Tides of War Assignments, and absolutely LOVE Panzerstorm... Fantastic map!

This. Haven't seen any acknowledgement of this. Needs to be fixed asap, and week one needs to be extended.

So doing the Honoring the Past assigment, I've killed probably about 50-60 people with the Gewehr M95/30 while defending objectives and its not counted one.

Have I got to be inside the objectives for it to count? I've been covering with a sniper and picking people off from distance.

Did they re add the reloading animations on stationary weapons? I was using one of the cannons on the new map and it was playing a reload animation between shots again and was so surprised to see it again, as I thought they were removed permenantly.

I've been doing much better in combat, when necessary, as a Medic.

Also, nobody is taking health pouches from my Medical crate :( I want to complete that Tide of War chapter event challenge..

Well first, that's not my point. And second, why wouldn't you go for the challenges?

Really what I'd like to say is that I don't understand the creative roadblock which led to so many Stealth challenges in an Arcade style WW2 shooter. Stealth challenges are for Splinter Cell. I probably wouldn't have minded a Stealth challenge or even two, but they fit multiple across each War Story and it just seems uncreative given all the other things you can do on these big open story maps...

Looks like the patch completely wiped my progress in the second War Story. I have been taking my time with them (obviously) and was probably at least halfway through the 2nd one. Went to play it just now and it took me back to the very beginning. That sucks.

How are you supposed to deal with AA tanks playing like artillery? Can you deal with that? It's absolutely infuriating and makes me want to quit.

On breakthrough Hamada, I decided to just spot all game. They never made it passed the first objectives. I don't think they knew what was going it. It was funny just watching a bunch of people die that I spotted. I think I killed like two people just because they stumbled upon me. We got top squad and I got +10k just from spotting lol.

That's a very nice skin, but man that's a pretty big FU to deluxe and standard edition owners.
