sweet mother of God.... you can get kills with the Gas Mask and Trench Periscope

Can confirm my mate has done this.

If you are right next to an enemy (ie inside them) putting on the gas mask was doing 45 damage.

Thanks all for the replies. Will try out some of the suggestions.

I'm pretty proficient with Support and have identified good positions on the maps for Attacking and Defending. Also spot a lot as I know it assists the team.

Will just have to practice more with the Scout class I think.

I know 1+ K/D ratio is not impressive, some matches mine is much higher but I said this just illustrate I'm not a total idiot!!

Personally I'm very happy if my overall KD is over 1, which it currently is, just.

Posted a few pages back, but easy to miss.
A mixture of a couple of open maps and a couple of indoorsy grindfests by the sound of things.

Wouldn't worry about K/D i never have on battlefield and i wont bother on this either, i know its positive though!

Regarding Scout, if you don't like it don't bother. I just have to get assault to 10 now but everyone plays them spraying there noob cannon hellriegald thing so i tend to be useful as Medic or Support which i enjoy!

The Hellriegal is currently the only level 10 weapon worth working through the classes for (maybe the Martini Henry but less so after the nerf), so it's hardly a 'noob' cannon (that would be their accompanying AT rocket gun)

I know, i have all but that unlocked at rank 10. Its just all the assault weapons are spray and pray up close so i tend to take the piss out of the users but you cannot deny its got some epic stats.

I'm sure it will receive a nerf in the future, the day i reach Assault rank 10 probably!

Feeling a bit guilty towards a pilot on my team who I stole 3 kills from today - was in the middle of a reload when the bomber came into sight so I tracked it in the hope of being ready in time and got lucky for a change.

Just before this I'd put about 400 rounds into the top of the hill doing suppressive fire so we could try and take "D" so it was nice to get some actual kills.

Edit: Thanks for the "thumbs down" whoever it was, there goes my hopes of being a YouTube millionaire

More details just released in fact:

As well as the new maps, a new game mode which sounds kinda fun, new behemoth, new elite class.

Never have I loved and hated a game in equal amounts as much as this one.

Love

- Maps are incredible. Great variation and the detail is superb.
- Good range of vehicles
- Love the sandstorm/fog that occurs really brings a new challenge mid game
- Decebt variation of game modes

Hate

- Massive issues with lag still. Sick of pumping full clips into people and then they turn round and kill me.
- Above happens yet I get killed with one bullet constantly.
- Kill wes. I am an objective based player and will try to win at all times. Meanwhile some tt is going 14-2 and I'm getting murdered.
- If you get in a tank/plane at least be useful. If you are st stay out of it.

Overall I am enjoying the game but it has its frustrations. If anyone wants to play with me I can promise imma good bullet sponge whilst capturing bases. Ruskie2703

I agree except this....

How can you get good unless you play in the vehicle in a game situation. (Though pointing the dreadnought at land so 1/2 the weapons are useless was pretty dumb and annoying)

Like BF4, there needs to be a training area/missions etc.

Finding flying on the XB1 controller difficult.

I agree with this 100%, I used that to "hone" my flying skills in BF4

I know what you are saying but I know for a fact I'm awful at flying and no amount of practise will help!!

You guys can always fly in the campaign if you're not confident doing it online.

Problem in the campaign is that the flying controls are simplified (the rudder control is removed) meaning you can't yaw.

In MP the controls are as you would expect, although did take me a long time to set up.

I was absolutely useless with flying but after a few hours of trying can now hold my own in most dog fights and quite easily pick off players and defend objectives. The medium weight aircraft with heavy machine gun and grenade bombs is by far the best all rounder.
