Holiday mission no 2... 100 vehicle destroyed in 3 days for a rare tank skin.

I've had the game a year and havent reached 100 (normally play frontlines) so i'll give that a miss!

New maps on monday though!

Finally gave in and bought it in the sale for the PC. Last BF I had was BF Vietnam.
So far I've noticed no squad play, no one spots and I'm pretty sure I've pant weapons.
The weapons are mostly pants, it's 1916! That's part of the fun. As above, there aren't really any super-duper weapons which give you a massive advantage, you can unlock a decent spread of things very quickly, and all the better for it. For example, my fave medic weapon is the Rigotti trench which is one of the first things you unlock, I'm now level 90-something. And I'm quite fond of the bog-standard lewis gun for support.
The hellreigel is perhaps the exception.

2 of the 4 new maps are released today for premium users. Played them in the CTE and the one with the controllable destroyer ship is cracking.

Shame the grappling hook melee is just that and not functional.

I like the new maps, lots of cover, narrow sections that create points of conflict, large flag areas, mixed terrain and actual new looking scenery rather than a copy / paste from older maps. Obviously there is some reuse but the maps feel new rather than just a rehash.

The one by the coast is a dream for pilots at the moment as nobody seems interested in the AA guns and everyone is gathering around the flag in big huddles ready to catch bombs smile

The only downside is that 50% of the players are level 120 (probably higher now) so it's a bit of a bloodbath.

Wasnt a fan of the new maps on Monday as like with every update, it seems to take 24 hours for the hit detection to sort itself out for me but liking them now. Not sure what theyve done to the Perino MG but its a beast now and on Itchy Bum fking devestatiing

Theyve also made the rear gunner seat on the attack planes less potent so itll be interesting to see how good some of these level 100 pilots cope now.

I don't have a head set but am getting frustrated by people not giving squad orders!

(I might buy a head set if I get some friends!)

new medic gun, didnt like it at first but fk me is it OP. The fedrov before it can out snipe a sniper and im finding it more accurate at distance on full auto than single shot - probably as the rounds rise up so get the hits that way.

New support MG is a beast as well

Not unlocked the assault class guns but they seem OP as well

Not got premium so haven’t played any new maps... but I did come across a happy moment today...

Realised I didn’t have aim assist on and probably haven’t for a very long time when I went to turn it off earlier... and found it already off... means my KD isn’t taking as much of a hit as I thought!

It's definitely the one to try and get the two aeroplane kills unlock - the one with the optics is like a super sniper rifle.

2 remaining turning tides maps out tomorrow.

Interesting for them to leave it so late considering the final DLC is just around the corner.
