Added! I'm "NSA".
from what i understand is the only way to do this is through the bf1 website or the companion app.
Not really. I don't consider 2 in K/D to be especially great. It's above average, but the other guys I play with are sitting at 2,75 and 3,5. That's what I consider a really good K/D.
And my win percentage is because I play with a good squad who also plays the objective and we have a good class combination, which means we more often than not win the game because no one else gives a damn about it. Not playing conquest does a lot to your win percentage because you are less dependent on the rest of your team to actually win.
Me alone is not an amazing player, but in a good squad where everyone plays to win and not to get a bunch of kills I excel. I have the heavy tank to thank for like 0.5 of that K/D because people don't know how to kill tanks and that doesn't really require any skills at all, just some common sense to stay alive.

600 700 800+ spm seems way high. I am not the best player by any means but in a good handful of operations I'm placing top 3 with 25 to 40k scores from playing objectives and my spm is a bit over 400. However what could be an issue there is I played a ton of tdm at the start, like a good 50 hours or so... Just to get in and get familiar with everything, that might of fiddled with my spm average. I need to check and look for an operations only average spm.

All it takes is a bad team and a good tank driver on the other side (amplified if he has a guy who isn't using Support for spamming mortar but wenching the tank from behind. That RPGs are alot weaker now, Heavy tanks have 360 degrees coverage from dynamite suiciders (if the tank player is good people will stay inside it), you can't solo blow up a tank with dynamite (which is also alot harder to use), people don't know that manually blowing up a AT mine does 3x times the damage of a dynamite bar (and you also place them ALOT faster) and all the other AT choices are short range doesn't help. Also the MG on the back of the heavy tank has TWICE the firepower of every other one and a narrower field of fire, often charging the side seems more effective (high chance at least one of the MGs is distracted or unoccupied).I'd love to play on those servers where people don't know how to kill tanks
Heck, I got a 25/2 KDR in a match by driving around an abandoned Artillery truck from objective to objective and using it as a close/medium range assault gun. Even outmanouvered a heavy tank and blasted it to death from behind, was hilarious.
Artillery truck is amazing if you don't waste it on sniping from spawn and you know about how switching to the MG instantly cancels the artillery-shell "cutscene" (so you can do productive things like shooting people with the MG or driving around or scanning around you with the TPS camera - same with the Mortar Landship btw).
On a related note: Probably going to switch my Assault's light AT grenade for a smoke in the future, combined with AT mines I should be able to solo Heavy tanks much easier if they can't see a thing.
Also Medic HE grenades are surprisingly effective for blinging tanks, they almost deal the same damage frontally as AT rockets and also are ALOT deadlier against infantry and more useful than the default "anti infantry" noobtube grenade. They are also an excellent solution to to AT/AA trucks, Armored Cars and Cavalry (two hits is enough if you hid centre/rider's legs and above) and are great against Bipodders and Snipers now that destruction is back to BC2 levels. Sucks that you have to switch out the srynge or Health Kit, never considered non-equipment slot paddles in BF3 broken or and issue and it promoted revives/team player (srynge is already situational as hell playing with randoms now that they introduced the skipable death screen).

You can't solo blow up a tank with dynamite..... are you for real?
I destroyed 12+ tanks/vehicles on Oil of Empires defending.... Dynamite + Anti-tank.
I've got a mate who regularly damages and then hijacks the tanks using only the hammer.
Anyone who says you can't solo a tank full stop is just plain wrong.

Out of curiosity mate, is that tank that is just a big rectangular bucket the best tank? Landship, or whatever? That's the one everybody seems to use.
Ragnar Blackmane

I was talking about soloing a tank by just using dynamite (BF3/4 style) instead of having to combo it with AT grenades or the AT rocket gun which is alot less safe or reliable (especially if you are NOT playing in a co-ordinated team/squad like you are doing all the time, time for me to get a mic ^^).
You can literally oneshot a Heavy tank by placing 3 AT mines next to it and shooting them once. There is even a gif on Reddit of someone doing that to kill TWO heavy tanks right next to each other by placing the charges inbetween.
Heck, you also place the mines faster (no throwing animation) and even if you get killed by doing so you still have a good chance that the tank will drive over the mines and kill itself by accident or that they get chain-detonated by another explosion for the same result.
And yes, I know what I am talking about, I have pulled that off and it is my go to way to kill tanks with assault now if I can't get rear shots with the AT rocket gun (still the safest way, you even two shot light tanks that way).
Disagree Guy

Horses for courses mate.
Sometimes they all have their pros and cons depending on what you need them for.
Yeah that's fair enough then. Thought you meant one man killing a tank with dynamite wasn't possible. I nearly spit up.

Pretty much. Unless you want to go solo in a light tank, the Landship is just plain inferior to the heavy tank in almost all situations.
The Landship has less HP and armour, completely relies on being fully crewed with competent side gunners (and for some reason randoms absolutely NEVER join or spawn on Landships, hilarious considering how fast the party busses fill up) because the driver guns are so weak, has huge deadzones on the sides and rear that the Heavy tank doesn't have and the Assault version with 5 seats is simply a joke because the Heavy tank does that much, much better even in the default non-flamer configuration.
Only sucess I had with the Mortar ship was slaughtering infantry attacking the last Sinai desert operation objectives through the open (mortar + instant switch to MG for constantly shooting)... and that one doesn't have any abilities (like smoke or instant repair) whatsoever. Meanwhile the Tank Hunter Landship is pretty horseshit against infantry (and you even sacrifice the MG for it as the pilot!) and still not as good as a cannon against tanks (though theoretically a fully crewed and competent AT Ship could solo any heavy tank hilariously fast, even if nothing else) and the novelty of sometimes being able to bling a plane for 35 damage wears off fast. Buying the AT Ship for 250 bonds is by far the biggest regret I have after playing the game for 35 hours online.
DICE really needs to reconsider what niche they want the Landship to fill, right now it feels like a wierd in between choice between the far superior Light and Heavy tank that doesn't serve a purpose besides sniping infantry in the open (and every other tank can do that too). It needs some serious buffs and refocusing.

As you say about the spawning - When you've got a full squad the landship is great for armoured transport. Especially on levels with large landscapes or alot of sniper points.
That being said - there is no better feeling than blowing up a tank and watching the killfeed roll in because it's full

That's the heavy tank. They all have their strengths and weaknesses.
Ragnar Blackmane

Yup, but the Heavy tank can do that too (though it's more about ignoring the helpless snipers) and no one wants to be the driver while heaving the seat with the least firepower. If people bother to spawn as tanker they want kills and not having to rely on most likely incompetent side gunners (if someone actually fills those seats at all) to do the job. I honestly can't recommend anyone to spend that many war bonds on a single, questionable unlock that all the Landships are right now if you can buy much better and valuable stuff instead (like equipment or guns or a good side arm ... or the Heavy Flamer tank). Do that when you run out of useful stuff to unlock and are drowning in bonds, by which time the Ships will hopefully have been buffed and people bother crewing them.
Disagree Guy

About warbonds.....
Since unlocking the Model 10 and the Revolver (Gasser) I literally haven't spent a single warbond.
I'm level 54 I think.
Enjoy your last days of freedom boys. Rumour has it the Model 10 nerf drops tomorrow....
A sad day

I had fun with the 10A factory and that was good enough, Hunter gets a deserved nerf. That's life. If anything you can show anyone you are a great player even without using the overperforming flavor of the month gun.
Disagree Guy
Member
Yeah I'll check the patch notes post-nerf and see what's up.
Most likely just use another shotty or switch to M10 slug.
I consistently get top end of the leaderboard - never normally lower than 5th. Like 80% win ratio etc... I'm confident I'm good enough haha. Never got ridiculous KD but hey, that's not my job.
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.

Thank you for making me feel bad for what I thought were pretty good stats.
Some of the stats I'm looking at from other players are insane. I mean, how does one do this:

No stats for Vehicle Destruction. I am not a happy man.
If they recorded that too I'd be right up there I'm sure.
Lol my KDR is always around 1.3 or something like that but my score per minute is like 800+ or something
Nearly hit 17 service stars on the M10. Booyah!

Damn, I wish I could look myself up on that site. I'm super curious to see where I stand. I should be pretty high up. Site couldn't find me though, says console players are only partially available.
Remember that if the enemy team isn't full and you're team doesn't have too many fewer members, you can switch team in the last second. It's a bit silly but it works. The main stat for BF games is the SPM stat though. Since teams are so large, the W/L-ratio is sometimes a bit arbitrary.

Your worst haha, 1.85 for me which I think is my highest for a Battlefield game.
SPM is currently at 914 which is easily my highest.

For real when I top the game with you and Fatty in the team I get well pumped.
Like "Cam An!"
Jeeezas.
If you had that sort of KDR on this battlefield the rest of us would just all roll medic to keep you alive and support to keep you stocked. Imagine one dude at the front with 7 little minions behind him hahaha
Lol who am I kidding - it happens already

I'm honestly happy with a KDR of anything over 1, hence why I play Medic. If you can't hit much, it's always nice to feel like you're at least able to help.

The FAMAS on Battlefield 3 was an absolute meat grinder man haha. The good old days when the Assault Class had the best guns and the medic capabilities.
Ouch, not sure if I could cope with that drop. Felt bad when my K/d dropped below 3 on BLOPS 1 after being above it for majority of the time played.
You'll have to try hard to keep it above 2 for the next Battlefield then!
You've definitely been on a run recently helping us steamroll the opposition, I often start off slow and have to spend the rest of the match catching up to eventually overtake.

First game syndrome for me. Always do poorly on first game. Oil of Empires is definitely my favourite map - defending - for taking out vehicles. I can wrack up so many....
I do love attacking Iron Walls too. I couldn't believe it when we white washed Kaiserslacht only losing like 50 tickets....
Always end up in the top 5 at least though

Everyone I know that's over 3.0 KDR on console uses vehichles except Fizzer. He is the only one I know that mains infantry and has over a 4.0 KDR. Anything over a 2.0 KD is really good on console especially if they mainly play infantry. Now PC on the other hand a 2.0 KDR isn't that impressive at all.

You guys have crazy score per min, always in top 1/4 in conquest every game and still only 424.9.
I had a pretty slow start in BF1 but I'm heading towards 4+ fairly quickly now. Airships are still the bane of my existence though. I played a solo Operations match last night and simply out of revenge I did nothing but work the AA gun when the airship was up. It was pretty boring but I had to do it. I'll never forget that round with GAF where I got insta-nuked every single time I defended the objective. I've never died more in a BF round than I did that game.

We won though. That's the moral of the story haha.
My boy Nitro usually sits on the AA blasting down the zeppelin. It's a thankless job and he normally gets a crappy score for it but.....
we win though
Also I saw you get like 30 kills and no deaths.... that's just insane

Conquest is by far the worst mode for SPM. It's why I don't put much stock in the stat. The time you spend running long distances between points is almost meaningless, and drastically reduces your SPM.
Rush is the best mode for SPM.
Disagree Guy
Member
Yeah man I hate conquest.
I've pretty much exclusively played Operations so I'm quite happy with my SPM
Edit:
Just checked manually and I'm in the top 300 for Model 10 Hunter kills
Just on PSN I'm in the top 70 - Eat my lead
Dynamite I'm in top 100 too - Tanks weep in fear
Also in the top 500 for Assault class
And I've played 21 hours

I hate losing way more than I hate dying. I haven't been part of a GAF loss yet so it's been pretty fun.
We should be able to donate points to teammates. Anyone that shoots down an airship is a saint.
edit: 137th in limpet charge kills. Haha, 49th on PS4.

Anyone know if there's a speed difference for the different melee weapons? I know they're all OHK, but perhaps one of them does it 0.2 seconds faster or so?

It's one of the best Domination maps too. I think it and Amiens are the top 2.
Disagree Guy

Yeah there is mate. Check the companion app on the web.
All the knives are faster than all the clubs. I think shovel is the slowest but most powerful.
Yeah we haven't lost in 24 games now mate. That streak....
That's why I am going to look into competitive leagues.
It's certainly one of the most chaotic. Biggest problem playing the medic class is people are dying in difficult to reach areas. By the time I get there and they respawn, I'm usually fucked with a needle in my hand.
Does anyone else play Domination?
How about that Fao Fortress balance. You're pretty much guaranteed to get triple capped if you start as Brits. I've seen multiple 100-0 games on that map. It's so bad.
I think you'd probably do well but how would that work for Operations? Finding 40 people per side would be rough.

I play Domination all the time on my own before all the guys come on.
I've been 100-0'd on that map before. Was infuriating. Spawned way behind the castle with no quick way in.
