So frustrating to play. Conquest is just full of people sitting in vehicles all game not playing objectives. No medics playing conquest either because the maps are so spread out the guns are useless.
I’m loving operation underground at the mo, and seems to be plenty of medics on there but the frantic nature means most of them never revive people!

The three carbines are great medium range weapons when fitted with a scope. Plus the tromboncino has a grenade launcher smile

Just played a game and a guy on the opposition went 73-0 in a plane. What’s the point of playing when that is happening? There literally no chance of shooting down from the ground as there isn’t enough AA Guns. You get in the air and unless you have grinded the 4 levels and died repeatedly to get the upgraded planes you can’t touch them.

It’s not even about skill it’s about fairness and giving all players the ability to play on an even playing field.

Haven't you used the Fingerblaster rocket launcher? That's pretty good for taking them down!

IM one of them though not sure what my highest killstreak is, i play with another and his highest has been 100 (unless hes topped it now) and yes i was there and saw it or you can check bf tracker.

Its easy to do on the Pacific War maps, flares and 2x 500lb bombs and away you go. When i play with him, we tend to find clusters of people and its a competition to see who can get the biggest cluster.

If your PS4, drop me a request lemming_james and ill show you the ropes in the plane. It does help having a wingman or randoms willing to help out otherwise you just get fked over

Yeah this. Flieger does 90 damage on a good hit.

I'm one of those pilots too. If you're dealing with enemy AA, plus 3 enemy aircraft, plus Flieger it's really difficult to get any real traction in aircraft. But on a map where you're facing none of those it's pretty straight forward to go over 100-0.

Sinced they delayed the 500lb bombs I've gone to the fighter and started using the x8 rockets. It does as much damage and you can actually shoot down fighters without using 600 rounds of ammunition!

Servers are an absolute disgrace. It’s like playing on the internet 15 years ago. They don’t deserve the money people pay to play this game.

They've been having trouble recently (maybe ddos tts again?) Plus providers have throttled back internet speeds. I played last night with Slaney and it seemed ok

I was playing last night with D/L of 40 Mbps and ping of 12ms. It was very glitchy and my guy just won’t run properly! Just about playable but hard work.

Still think this is one of the best MP games out there when it all clicks.

What’s everyone’s favourite map at the mo? If I had to choose one it’d be conquest on operation underground. It feels more manic than the others, but also you see huge swings in the match due to only the 3 bases.
It also stresses the importance of having a range of classes playing.

For me it depends on what the team is like, im not a fan of the massive desert maps (hamada and that other one) as prefer tighter maps.

Game modes, much prefer breakthrough though as people have to play the objective (generally), though Hamada on breakthrough or airborne is very tough if attacking and your teams st

Breakthrough on Iwo Jima I think is my absolute fave, a good mix of everything and usually seems to throw up some good hard scraps. Second to that is the Solomon islands, then Pacific Storm. I don't play the original maps much anymore, aside from Aerodrome and Twisted Steel. I quite like Hamada but lots seem to hate it.

I'm still moaning about not having Strike at Karkand and Ziba Tower but Operation Underground is fun, it can get a bit dull if nobody else is willing to try and move forward though.

I like playing Rotterdam because it reminds me of Amiens and Seine Crossing from BF1 and BF3.

I enjoy most for different reasons though, the only one I find a bit tedious is Fjell 652, especially when the weather effects are happening.

Speed test for broadband is showing D/L 40mbs as soon as I run a test on PS4 it showing 3.5mbs. Modem is 3m away by WiFi (forgot my cable, staying at GF’s)

Any suggests why it’s been throttled so badly?

My son regularly gets scores like this, just dive bombs the top of the beach area using the mini map and pulls up early enough to not get hit.

Unless decent people are in the fighters or flieger it’s easy.

Easy to get shot down though as I demonstrated when I have a go and fly too low to try some strafe action.
