I presume there's a world of people who compare this stuff to boost their egos but it's never been something that's bothered me unless I have to do something very specific for an unlock.

That said I do like to rank up and that's usually my incentive to keep playing, of course everyone is level 50 these days so it's not an issue.
Yep, used to play with some until they disappeared to play the fortnite type game. Very rarely would they venture out of Conq .

I much prefer the game mode where it can go either way but it is a long game and if the sides arent even, its pretty ste. Dont get me wrong im not fussed by k/d and will rush to the front but it starts to grate if nobody else is.

Was playing with some the other night on mic, they was 'laughing' at me as i havent unlocked/got past level 13 sniper yet - not my style of play so doing it all now

V1. 16 out but refusing to download on PS4 so unable to use any network features of the game currently, presumably server overload as it only came out at 10am.

Edit: working now, it's 6GB!

Release notes:

https://games-guides.com/battlefield-v-patch-notes...

I've had a few weird new bugs over the past hours, one where you can't see ahead of you in one of the tanks unless you use the external view (a lump of tank that doesn't exist blocks your vision) and another where I couldn't respawn after being killed. I could constantly skip the revive but it just starts again. One time I could use weapons, build defences etc but seemed invisible to the enemy. Oddly the redeploy option also disappeared from the game menu.

This weeks ToW assignments look quite tough - in the sense that lots of them seem to rely on luck.
Still, I wont be too bothered if I don't complete them - the blurb says that the weapon you win was considered crap in the war, and was replaced by the PIAT (which we already have access to)…. hardly an incentive to use it!

Yeah, a lot of this weeks ToW appears to be firestorm related and I’m so shockingly bad at it I think I will miss out a lot this week.

Are the rest of you playing this game on console or PC? If the latter are you using origins voip to talk to team mates or something like Skype?

Yeah, I noticed things like "get x kills with civilian vehicles in firestorm, on a Tuesday, between the hours of 8am and 10am while playing as sniper" or some such...

Im playing on PC, and chat to my mate on Discord.

I still play BF2 regularly. I did buy BF4 and WW2 but just couldn't get on with them TBH.

Back to WoT later smile

It's an absolutely awful weapon to use against tanks as it's intended but a great one-shot soldier killer that makes a great noise.

I took the bottom path to unlock that needed no Firestorm, fairly easy if you stick to assault and play the tank maps.

Been trying that but having no luck, that coupled with having one of those days being a bullet magnet is giving me the rage so I decided to leave it for today

I unlocked it quite quickly and the path is easier than you think some of the targets are squad related.

The hardest one I found was engine disable... if the tank explodes it doesn't count. I fluked the turret one straight away, but seemed to take age. As above play the tank battle mode as an assault or tanker.

New gun is savage against soldiers, it needs to bipodded to aim down sights and strangely it's a sniper class. But... one shot kill to the body up to 100m. Decent against half tracks etc but yep useless against tigers.

Think tank hunter kit from bf1

Feels like a nice place to go on holiday but it's not a great BF map, unless I've missed something amazing in the limited amount of games I've had on there.

[quote]unlocked the boys gun as well, makes a love sound but so OP
OP on soldiers, absolutely pointless on the thing it's actually designed to shoot, hoping the level 4 customisation that lets you have better bullets makes some difference but suspect I'll swap it out for a proper sniper rifle once I have that.

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

The new challenge is up, set on the new Greek map with only one Firestorm element that's a bonus challenge rather than one you need to do in order to progress.

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
