OH FFS i've spent 2 days trying to get my team / find something to tow and get a 1000 points on firestorm to get past the challenges. Why is it so hard
Do panzerstorm on breakthrough as attacking, drag a cannon to the lower slopes so you can pound the side. Most tanks will leave you alone unless you fire on them, pound the buildings etc.

The i found the following 2 challenges hard as kept getting the engine as opposed to the turret then couldnt get the engine when needed to and kept blowing st up

Boys toy gun - So the armour piercing rounds actually means the gun doesn't do any damage to the tank it seems.

The fkers have also removed a game mode i like to press the new map on us

Can't remember it's name but it's the one where the action can flow either way as you fight over 1 point then plant 2 bombs

yep, front lines has disappeared.

no, panzerstorm is still in rotation.

As for the new sniper rifle, not sure if theyve nerfed it in the update but i seem to shoot through people and not get any hit markers etc

I thought you could at one point unlock a TOW Gun by using CC but they seemed to have put a stop to that.

Was playing around with the boys toy last night, so the armour piercing rounds currently dont do any damage to the tanks, but will damage a half track. However, APR rounds will take out a wall with the resulting explosion. So its kinda nice on Breakthrough where some snipers hiding in a building and boom, no more building.

Shame its just so slow to reload and not seeing used as much anymore

Does anyone know what the 1gb update did as from a quick search, it just mentions it being firestorm related and the boys toy being able to damage tanks with APR rounds (though APR rounds do less damage to buildings it seems)

I have, dont mind it but last night was super laggy though. Firing off flares with animation only to get nothing and still show 2 flares in supplies, bit of rubber banding etc

Dont think their doing the big known battles but concentrating on the smaller ones that arent widely reported on. They should do Burma though

yep, all my games over the different servers was around 70 ping, nobody in the room was below 70

most of the servers are dead

theyve made game mode of the week and existing game mode, why dont they just leave it as what it was last week (forgotten the game modes) and stop dicking around with it

how can you play with a ping so high?

ah the conquest servers where in Germany earlier, lowest ping was 62, most around 90, 1 in the 300's

Im guessing their closing servers down as the games losing popularity.

New maps for the squad conquest only, last weeks sniper rifle isnt available to purchase with the ingame credits you win per round

I've only seen a very small part of the map so far but it doesn't quite seem to force everyone into the same bottleneck like Metro used to - not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Liking it so far though.
theyve added some flanking routes which seem to be unprotected as everyone just likes to cluster in the main area it seemed.

totally I don't like paying for things unless its the likes of maps.

I cant get a decent gun in "Assault" I use a varied amount in firestorm - come to use them in other multiplayer modes and find them crap
or your playing style is different to whats 'required' in the other modes. The turner smle, stg 44 and the 1-5 are all good assault class guns

It would be nice if they put a little effort into reducing the number of hackers in game first. The game often feels like the team with the best cheater wins.
not sure what platform your on but on ps4, you can tell who the mouse + keyboard players are, then the modded controller lot followed but us mere mortals but yeah, coming up against a non normal controller player is annoying.

New maps are 'lovely' but im finding in their attempt to make it so 'pretty', the game suffers from moments of 'lag' spiking and watching people run at a distance is akin to Super Mario of the 90's running about.

Theyve also removed the bomb aiming recticle on the new map planes (which now have 6 levels as opposed to 4) so it seems getting a bomb strike is near on impossible now. If they are in the other maps, it shouldnt be too hard to level them up.

Also the 12g shotgun seems to have had its power upgraded and is now a 1 shot kill gun.

So figured out the Pacific planes, they're dive bombers (forgot the corsair was a dive bomber).

Unlocked the incendiary bombs and spotting flares, devastating on Iwo jima
