Yeah the flame thrower is kind of garbage from what I hear. In some instances it works really well and other times you'll get destroyed by infantry even when covering them in flames. If I mess with the passenger loadouts I prefer the cannon on the 97. When people hop in my tank and I have that they don't leave till I die lol
And yeah, flanking with the amphibious tanks is a must and makes for some exciting ambushes (unless they see you first because you won't be able to defend yourself for shit with those waves knocking your aim all over)
Are the new tanks especially strong or have they buffed splash damage overall for the tanks recently? I don't think I've seen as many one hit kills by tanks on infantry before, I know they patched the ol' 40-60HP direct hit from launch, but I don't remember german and british tanks being as strong as these new ones.
The Sherman specialized for Anti-Tank Combat is still good for anti infantry. When equipped with Heat-T rounds, RIP other Tanks.
Amphibious Tank Flanks have admittedly fked me up as a Tanker several times.
DICE still needs to rectify the imbalance caused by the sheer existence of planes in the game, where one team having one or two better pilots than the other team pretty much assures the other team isn't going to have any fun due to planes randomly dropping bombs and barrages of explosive rounds on them.
This problem continues to exist in the Pacific maps simply because planes don't feel like they belong in this game, period. They feel completely disconnected from the action until one swoops in, destroys your tank or wipes out a squad with a bomb, and flies off to be a non-issue for the next minute or so.
The fact that this problem got so bad that DICE needed to introduce the Fliegerfaust tells me one key thing: the only way DICE was able to "rebalance" planes in any way at all was by introducing a weapon that smites them out of the sky. And even then, I've noticed the genuinely good pilots having zero issue simply flying a little higher and diving a little less often, making them no less deadly but all the harder to hit.
Something needs to be done. Planes are still far too good in a game where they feel completely out of place in terms of the pace of gameplay.

It's not a slug, it's really a sniper bullet, so switching to it transforms your shotgun into a sniper rifle. Ergo, 75 damage body shot at any distance and garanteed one-shot kill on a headshot. It's not easy to land headshots with it at long range since there's only crappy ironsights but would you manage to land one at 300m, it's still a kill.
it's very satisfactory when you land the headshot kill though. lol
What is a weak spot?
There is turret, engine and tracks for criticals, but do they increase damage?
It's not that big of a deal in my experience. The whole role of planes in a mode like Breakthrough is to destroy enemy armor and fortifications and I think great pilots are fulfilling that role perfectly. And because they are at their deadliest and most accurate while diving, this makes the fliegerfaust a great counter.
On the flip side they could also balance it by making a set number AA trucks, main battle tanks, and lighter vehicles available to choose from so that a team isn't always completely neglecting AA capabilities to get more armor on the field. And then the game designers have a defined scope within which to balance and coordination is enforced by the constraints.
Not sure what the updated damage models are but hits to the back of the tanks still do way more damage than anywhere else. I'm pretty sure hits to the turret from the front still do increased damage as well but it's tough to get a shot off there cause the tank is looking right at you
Personally I always try to flank to the rear with the panzerfaust or in another tank. A couple good shots directly from the back and youll take a tank right out

Bring back being able to kill tanks with a machine gun if you get close enough, like 2142. I know that every robot ever has a vulnerable gooch because of that game.
You can certainly annoy them with a recon anti-material rifle if that's your thing.
Everything about the Pacific update is magical, even the round end music:
DICE, if you're going to add the Eastern front, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it this level of quality. And add Battle of the Bulge, Normandy, Stalingrad, and the Fall of Berlin.

Anybody have any idea when this will go on sale again? I'm patient enough to wait until next month if I have to.
Played it a bit at launch with EA Access, but let my sub run out.

I still can't believe they made us wait like 6 months for the first map DLC for this game. Those were dark days.
How thankful I am that Wake Island is coming next month (even though I want it now). Seems Guadal Canal is the rumour for early 2020

Holy shit. Guadalcanal for real? I loved that map in bf1942

I kinda want to assume black Friday, so in like 2-3 weeks.
Follow-up to my own post. Was randomly browsing through the BFV subreddit and found a post showing the SAME HACKER IS STILL PLAYING lmao. It's been almost 2 weeks now from my post. Not even my video is enough evidence 🤣
Do I need fingerprint DNA or something? 🤣
It happened! It happened!
$15 used on GameFly if you're on XB1 or PS4. No sub required.
I was playing yesterday on EU servers and on my team there were maybe 2-3 people at or above rank 40. Most everybody else was around rank 15-30. On the opposing team there were 5 players above rank 100 and the majority where at or above rank 50. We got slaughtered.
It is extremely frustrating that there isn't any matchmaking. It makes me want to never play the game again. Dear Dice, how f*cking hard can it be to do some basic matchmaking? You've been in this business for years. The correct number of people were in the game. It can't be that hard to adjust them automatically when they are so visibly unbalanced.
It is also frustrating that there is no way to report players that are almost certainly cheating. Or is there and I just missed it?
I got the game last week for 15 Euro on sale because an electronics store is getting rid of their physical game selection. I've already put about 17 hours in and I really enjoy a lot of it. I am pretty confused why there are so many modes that are very similar but maybe that's just how Battlefield rolls. I saw someone in this thread mention that they think squad Firestorm should be put into rotation and I agree. That would be fun.
I am excited for the possibility of the Russians later this year. I like that the next game isn't coming until 2021 and I hope a lot more is planned. I'll keep playing probably. Custom servers should be a lot of fun.

Get one of the fighters with the spotter flares and fly high spamming those for points. It's a default unlock for both German and British fighters I believe.
Randomly downloaded this from EA Access since I got a free month. Played a couple of matches and I enjoy it. It's been a while since I've played a BF game, but maybe it's since I played two of the Pacific Theater maps, but they were intense and massive. Only thing I don't like is the building mechanic for control points, seems pretty pointless so far.
What's the issue? I personally have no problem wrecking shop in a tank or killing them when need be outside of the occasional way back campers
I'm really dreading the lunge mines being added. As if Assault players weren't bold enough about rushing my tanks with clumsy AT weapons like mines and dynamite, now they'll have a tool designed around it. Not to mention my team's Supports tend to be more interested spamming bullets downrange with an MMG than they do repairing me.
I've gotta get my Sherman to rank 6 before the week is out, or the struggle will be really, truly real. That flamethrower pick gimped my build completely.
I repair tanks either way, but I just wish I could call out to them with commo rose
Right now is a really good time to jump in. Game can be had for cheap. It's not the best Battlefield but there are some pretty great maps now and the Pacific update is really good. Game still has issues but no one else makes games like this.
No doubt. I gimped my light tank builds with the howitzer and it took me forever to get up to 6. I will say the Sherman all right side upgrade is beastly. I expect it to get nerfed. I'm destroying opposing tanks with the heat T shell
No, all updates are free! The base game and all of the additional maps released in the first year focused on Europe. The Pacific update released in October and has new maps, weapons and vehicles focusing on the war in the pacific.The next map releases in December, it will be a Wake Island remake.
I would imagine that most of 2020 will continue to focus on the pacific and then year 3 content will probably be the Eastern Front.
May sound dumb but how much of the game features fronts that Canada takes place in?
I'm not too familiar with Canada's role in the war. But Canada is definitely not one of the nations you can play as. Only England, Germany, US and Japan right now.
No, this is the right time to jump in. If you started then you would have had far less content than you do now and the game was far buggier and janky than it is now. Just building shit and putting down your bipod were exercises in frustration. There were visibility problems out the ass since they didn't have the rim lighting back then and even then the progression system was a good bit worse since spending cc was good way to get locked out of it because it was so hard to get back then.
