Yes hehe it's bloody annoying and takes a bit of seriousness out of it. But it does make it clear where to go, I guess.
Is it not factual though? Do you really think that back in those days they called things Alpha Bravo, etc?
It is accurate, using the British Army phonetics from WW1 http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/articles/alpha.htm
I'm sure they were very serious.

The way she says apples does it for meyum The bloke voice over is hurrendous laugh

Definately enjoying it after a shaky start. A refreshing change on some of the maps is that you can flank very well compared to the previous BF3/4.

Im loving it. It seems a lot more balanced than BF4. I never got anywhere on that due to me having a life and not being able to get some of the guns which were just ridiculous. Dont think I ever managed to really do much.

This one I seems everyone is on a fairly even playing field and its all the more fun for it.

im both liking and hating that you arent shown up on the mini map when firing

still not sure if someones and enemy or not, several times theres been a mix of groups or one enemy in a group of allies

still seem to randomly get kia when everyone else around me survives

the big bh of a tank is a monster and needs to be used as a battering ram really in 3rd person view

liking that a direct hit from a tank is now kia for someone

the destroyer is a game changer and needs to either be nerfed or the torpedo boats hurt it more

needs more tanks or quicker tank respawn time

im playing better, better k/d ratio in this than previous version but maybe because im being a tank we?

managed a quadruple kill with the fighter bomber plane using bombs in one hit

the pick up weapons is cod like but good fun when i pick them up

Im still crap, but trying to change the way I play. Dont run and gun like you could in BF4 as youll get picked off by an overpowered rifle. Had me some fun with the mortar last night. You can often get those dug in sniper bds with one or two hits and theyre not expecting it.
They need to address the medic / press revive, but put the gas mask on issue as its stopping me from playing medic.

Must be OK as the missus is reminding me how much time I'm spending on it!

Definitely not. Ive found it a lot easier to make progress.
I almost exclusively use the assault class.

Focus on spotting targets whenever you are stationary too. More often than not you wont be the only one trying to kill them that way and it makes progress a lot easier.

Also tank grenades are necessary - they make light work of infantry parties too.

One of my long-standing Battlefield tactics is to hang around with someone who is fairly gung-ho. They will always stick their head up first to engage an enemy the instant they so much as glance one, you can then spot the enemies who open up on them and kill them while they are shooting at your 'mate'... hehe

"The easiest target is the one who is shooting at somebody else".

I'm pretty sure that's lifted straight from The Art of War.
