I had a good few games last night, one of which ended up with squad I chose (of randoms to me) being number one in every category which I've never seen before. Fao fortress is now a favourite map.

It's a team helper as a bloke on the opposite side couldn't bring his tank into the fray as i had him and the other chap in a heavy tank pinned back. There's almost zero bullet drop on it and most tankers panic when taking 1 hit and retreat.

Never use the landship but today found a use for it

there are hacks for counsels too im you know where there will never be a online game on any platform without hacks

Just been watching a video about the Spring update, seems the time has come where DICE are about to nerf anything of any interest in the game so that everything is gash. I really wish they would stop doing this with every battlefield - they killed BF3 and 4 for me with this.

Aircraft will take more damage and deal less out. Less tanks on operations. Frontlines limited to 40mins.

As long as they nerf the hellriegel I'll be happy!

Frontlines time limit sucks. I quite like winning at the end of 70 minutes.

In the day and age of everything being unlimited, I just don't understand why they can't offer an unlimited server. One setting to not have a time limit. But no, they limit it, like the cretins they are. They will probably bring it back to big hype later on when they need to get people more interested in the game again.

Theyve completely taken the teeth out of the fighter. Still managed 53-0 on Operations but it's now almost impossible to play the objective with it other than dropping flares. It used to be that you could almost hold an objective until your squad arrived, but now it takes a battering from absolutely anything and you might as well be dropping tennis balls on the enemy now - eleven passes on the same target before I started getting any kills. The reload time is now so long that you're essentially looking for either an assist or to finish someone off at best.

Ah well, thats aircraft ruined. At least tanks are still a bit useful.

The only positive I can see from the update is that they have stopped grenades bouncing back at you if a team mate is stood anywhere near when you throw one - apparently now anyone on your team within 10m becomes a 'nade ghost and they go straight through them.

But they have nerfed the 'nades so maybe it doesn't matter.

Question:

I recently put BF1 back in to my XB1. Haven't played it in a while and I noticed there and new weapons in each class. I don't have the DLC (They shall not pass), are these weapons available for me to unlock?

If so, do I need to select a weapon to unlock like a medal selection?

Thanks,

Rogue86

Not that I noticed last night - nerf/buffs seem to be mainly in favour of anti-aircraft.

I play as medic mainly. So this update is great cause I can spot bodies and tell them I am en route to revive. It's quite frustrating risking your life to revive and they skip as you arrive.

Cant say i had that issue last night, each pass resulted in one kill, didnt manage to find clusters of people to see if that had been nerfed but planes are more death traps now and it takes alot more skill to dogfight
