30 hours in and I don't have all of them to level two yet.
But one is at like level 6, and another at 4, so it definitely doesn't make sense for yours to all be at 2.

Yeah, leveling does take a while. I have like 80 hours and my only level 10 so far is Assault. However, I have the level ten weapons for Medic and Support because I got them when they were bugged. These are my scores so far:
Scout: 250,401
Support: 333,339
Assault: 964,729
Medic: 279,026
Pilot: 180,116
Tanker: 441,561
Cavalry: 190,190
Im getting pretty close on Tanker (500K). Cavalry and Scout are 300k, so Im pretty close on those. I think Pilot might also be 300k, I'm not too sure.

Nah. Blimp is by far the worst. Map wide coverage and nothing infantry can do about it.

Sometimes I send my squad to a heavily contested point while I ninja another one. A squad without direction is a wasted resource because they'll scatter.

Is the Sinai Map removed or something?
Haven't seen the map for 3 days in Conquest, playing all day long.

There's a dude 62 and 7 in operations, I'll never get what a person like that can do to stay alive that long. I mean I can be top of the chart but I'll be 45 and 20 or 50 and 25, just insane those types of players
Also playing defense in operations can be won but it can be such a pain in the ass, that second blimp just sucks. I mean it's really weighted in such favor of attackers

Good game guys, it was like playing on easy mode or something with GAF.

I disagree. Well, at least from an Operations perspective rather than a conquest perspective.
From Operations experience, I have no problem attacking or avoiding the Train as a foot-soldier. In contrast, play Iron Walls on the Monte Grappa section when the attackers get an airship. It's a steamrolling nightmare usually unless your pilots are exceptional. Seriously, it feels like 80% of my deaths on that map are from airship guns and another 10% are assisted by the airship.
Haven't played in a week or two. People are still dumbasses that don't know how to use their kit items or space out to spawn faster instead of waiting.
Oh and they think capping one flag will push us forward. Mmmm... no.
Both of them suck to deal with, TBH. Train can hold 1-3 flags. Airship is death from above and your planes have to make like 50 passes to bring it down.
The boat isn't that bad outside of bombardment on Suez.

I've got 54 hours logged and I still don't have any classes to level 10 yet. My closest is Assault at level 8, and I play that class way more than any other.
It really depends on the map, the phase of that map and whether the blimp focuses on the AA at all or if they already got destroyed last round. Sometimes you down it incredibly fast, sometimes you have literally no tools available to do any considerable damage. The phases where you have zero AA guns are really dumb when the other team gets a blimp.

All it takes is one incompetent driver to take the truck and you're screwed.
Is there a way to fix medals not refreshing? This is the third week in a row now where during the reset it reverts to old medals and I don't find out until I'm already entering a game. So I have to reload in hopes it works the next time.
Super frustrating, if anyone knows a fix lemme know.

I think I've yet to play a round where this hasn't happened!
My fix has been to pretend there aren't medals and play without them. Sorry I can't help.

The more I play Conquest, the more I'm convinced it will simply never work in public servers. It's always such a mindless mess devoid of any tactics/strategy.
You would think, for example, that after all these years people would realize that you can win just by capturing the majority of flags and immediately digging in, yet no one ever does this. It's always "capture, move forward" wash, rinse, repeat, even if it means leaving gaping holes in your defense and freely letting bases behind you fall like dominoes.
I'm just so frustrated anymore when I play this game. How can a franchise that has been around this long still have so many players that seemingly don't understand Conquest, or even the importance of defending territory!?

CQ has been glorified deathmatch for a long time now.
I would be happy if everyone just played the flags, period. Some games will have half or more of the team kind of aimlessly wandering around shooting whatever moves without even stepping within the radius of the flag.
Yeah, the amount of time it takes will be directly linked to your SPM. It's probably near 1000 for me in Operations but I play way more Domination than anything and you get like a third of the XP you get in Operations there. In almost 80 hours I have Support at 10, Assault at 6, Medic at 4.5, and Scout at like 3.8. That's a long-ass time to unlock everything. Like.. insanely long.
I definitely feel like it's slower than previous games, but I also feel like there's less to unlock so it evens out. Maybe not having a class level progress bar on the end of the round screen adds to the feeling of it being a bit slow as well.
score/min:
BF3: 663
BF4: 1285 (the fuck?)
BF1: 605

Yep, my fix has also been to just pretend that BF1 medals don't exist.
That aspect of the game has been a debacle. It is, at its root, an honestly awful concept to have to individually track a medal each week, from a random selection. But then, to add insult to injury, they went and even completely fucked up that system too.
They should go back and look at the BFBC2 pins and insignias system. That one worked perfectly: it gave you interesting things to work toward, but it was completely optional and never 'in your face' about it.
Some flare questions:
1) Is there a limit to how many flares can be in effect at once? I feel like I've shot off flares as either a pilot on the ground or scout and not seen the spotting radius show up on the mini map.
2) With dropping flares from planes, I'm guessing each individual flare has it's own circumference for spotting and it's not just one big one (unless they drop close to each other)?
3) I've never seen anyone use a blinding flare in over 40 hours of MP (mostly Operations and Conquest). Is it really not that useful?

They're meant to help groups of players work together towards specific objectives/goals by allowing them to spawn on each other and talk via VOIP. Unfortunately though, at least in my experience on PC, they're rarely used for that purpose. It's tough to find squads that stick together, attack/defend the same flag, choose classes that compliment each other, etc.
The main basic defining mechanic of the Battlefield series.
You get into a squad (a group of people under a leader) and you as a team capture objectives and/or other goals. When a squad follows orders from it's leader, everyone in the squad gets a lot of points, and the communication aspect allows players to keep themselves alive a lot longer and be able to take down vehicles and control objectives far, far easier than if you were alone trying to do it lone-wolf.
Same for me, game became a lot better by ignoring them.
I get almost as much satisfaction from pinging a lazy squad leader for an order every 3-5 seconds as I would from actually having an objective to play. After I have a few drinks, it's even worse. Woe betide the squad leader who doesn't give me an objective after I'm 4-6 drinks deep; I'll ping you so hard and so fast that it will be like a DDOS for your brain.
I have been playing mostly Operations, Rush and War Pidgeons. At my peak I was sitting just under 1100SPM. Currently it's at ~850 because I have played more CQ alone and teamwork with randoms definitely affects your overall score.
I have rank 10 in all but support where I am coming close to 9 (my least favorite of the classes). I have 84 hours in the game and I'm rank 73.

Man, I was finally able to play with all my friends that own the game, filling up two squads but DICE wanted to crash this party... at the end of every round that we were together it switched one of the squads to the opposite team for balance. 
I mean, yea, we were wrecking some fools, but let us have some fun
It was still fun to play against each other for the rounds in between though, before half of us managed to change teams again, but it did get frustrating after a while. I can't recall if we were all in the same party (how many can be in a party anyway?), but it should try to keep us in the same team, right? Or does the balance always take priority?

The balancing only takes squads into consideration, so with multiple squads you are not guaranteed to be on the same team. But I don't know how many you can be in a party, so maybe it will still try and keep you all together if you all join the same party and then just squad up in the game.

Finally level 10 scout, fuck that class. My spm went from 800 to 695 playing it.
That's an impressively high SPM honestly. I doubt most players are at even half that.
But the thing is, I am not amazing at the game and I'm honestly surprised how people who say they are playing the objective and shit all the time can be around 400SPM.
I have 2.05 in K/D which is above average but not great or anything. I play my class and I go for objectives and that's all there is to it. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯My priorities are pretty much Objective > Help team > Kills
I kill whatever I need to kill to get the objective and I don't care about dying. Statpadding is useless if you don't win. And seeing how I am sitting at 71% win percentage, I'd say that it's working out for me.
Well in BF4 a 900 SPM puts you in the top 10% of SPM for that game and SPM is way harder to come by in this game so you could very well be in the top 1%.But the thing is, I am not amazing at the game and I'm honestly surprised how people who say they are playing the objective and shit all the time can be around 400SPM.

So just assume everyone else is unlocking stuff waaaaaaay slower than you and it should help you understand why a lot of people are saying it takes forever to unlock stuff lol.
