Surely you don't get such epic KDR with an LMG?
If you do then by god you are better than I first assumed haha.

Suez map extended, yay.
No HDR, boo.

Outside of a few moments where I felt we needed an extra medic I've exclusively been running Support when we play.
I only use the Bar, no overheat there, just a tiny magazine haha.

I'm with you. In past Battlefields, there was already recoil to control, leading your shots, and compensating for bullet drop. Now there's this bizarre recoil mechanic they added, plus the overheating mechanic after shooting 35 straight rounds or so.

You are so much better than LMG man....
Imagine that? Unreliable guns produced over a hundred years ago....
Nah for real though - it just promotes people sprinting around with SMG/Shotty or sitting from sniper positions with a rifle
Find out these 5 weird tricks that just WRECK LMGs. Support players HATE them!!

Haha not quite. The first three I listed are fine, and the overheating mechanic could be ok, especially if the threshold for when the weapon would overheat took more shots to reach, but the bizarre recoil mechanic isn't a great idea in my opinion.
Yeah "recoil mechanic". It's such a shame that they removed nearly all the recoil from the weapons and introduced that Battlefront spread.

The problem is I always run out of ammo when I'm another class. That's pretty much why I run support. Sad but true.

If we're going to start bringing realism into a Battlefield game, then we have a very long list of issues indeed, my friend.

I can live with the overheating mechanic, though I feel the threshold should be higher than the 35 or so rounds it takes to reach that. But having your bullets fly all over the place until you've held the trigger long enough for the recoil pattern to normalize? That makes for guns that don't perform or feel very good in my opinion.
ShadowsFell

Are we talking about different things? I'm not talking about regular weapon recoil. I'm speaking about the LMG's of the support class specifically. No matter what you do, the first set of bullets (or the set of bullets after the first bullet) fly around very randomly, making it very difficult to hit anyone unless you're at close range. For guns that are made primarily for a mid-long range supportive role, this is not the best idea in my opinion.Yeah "recoil mechanic". It's such a shame that they removed nearly all the recoil from the weapons and introduced that Battlefront spread.

New patch installed, menus are still laggy as hell. Ugh.
Also, I've only just discovered how fun the support class is. Getting silly points from constantly supplying people, and I love setting the bipod up and spraying on fools.

nice. not sure if the changes will make it a good map, but that should be an improvement at least.

Yeah, I also really like the weapon and the latest skin for it is dope as fuck. However, there is no point in using it. The go to weapons for Medic are the Mondragón or 1916. For closer ranges youre better off going the 1907 or 8.25. There are no reasons whatsoever to use the 1906.

Patch Notes, Part 1
https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/58616/battlefield-1-fall-update-notes-11152016DICE said:We’re excited to share with you the Battlefield 1 Fall Update. The below changes are for all platforms unless specifically noted.
General:
OPERATIONS CHANGES:
Going forward we are addressing the balance issues with the Operations game mode. It’s clear that attackers need a boost. To increase the effectiveness of the attacking team, we are increasing the overall tickets for both Operations & Grand Operations. In addition, we are also making it somewhat easier to capture sectors as an attacker by reducing the amount of time it takes to capture a flags in Operations & Grand Operations. We’ve also increased the minimum tickets regained in grand operations to from 30 to 50, as well as increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders. This will give more of a fighting chance to capture the next sector after previously capturing a sector while having very few tickets left.
64 player
Increase attacker maximum tickets from 150 to 250
Increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders after capturing a sector from 2 to 3.
Increased the amount of minimum ticket regained when capturing a sector in 64p Operations from 30 to 50.
Slightly reduced the time it takes to capture flags.
40 player
Increase attacker maximum tickets to 200 from 150
Increased the amount of tickets regained from killing retreating defenders after capturing a sector from 2 to 3.
Slightly reduced the time it takes to capture flags.
CONQUEST CHANGES:
We’ve listened to your feedback in regards to the Suez Conquest layout in regards to balance. We will be adding two more flags to the layout, this should result in one team not being able to capture and lock down all flags as easy as before. In addition, we also noticed that it was very difficult to re-capture flags within the capture areas located in the village areas. To solve this we’ve reduced the capture size of these areas to include less buildings. The result of this should make the flags somewhat easier to capture and make sure that a team that has lost and been pushed out of the villages can easier re-capture them and get back into the fight. In addition, to help a team that has been pushed back all the way to their HQ, we’ve added an armored car that players can use to break out of the HQ and flank the opposing team.
Added two additional flags on the Suez map, giving it a total of 5 flags.
Added 1 armored car for either team to spawn in their HQ.
Reduced the size of the capture volumes on the flags located in the villages, old A & B flag. This is to reduce the amount of building interiors located within the capture area. The change should result in the flags being easier to capture.
You can customize your soldier from within the UI by selecting either the icon on Home or on Soldier
If the squad leader ignores requests for orders the leadership is transferred to another member of the squad.
When a squad member requests an order (and there is no active squad order), the requesting player is added to the want-to-be-leader queue for that squad and a 60 seconds timer starts (the timer is not reset if there are other squad members waiting in the queue already).
When the 60 seconds pass, the first member in the squad queue (the one who requested order earliest) is promoted as a squad leader. If there are other members in the queue after him, the timer is automatically reset to 60 seconds and if the new leader doesn't give orders over that period either, then the next waiting in line is promoted and so on.
If the current squad leader issues an order, then the queue for the squad is cleared.
Equal weather in Rush. Now uses same weather sequence and trigger conditions for both rounds in a match
Changed default player count of operations to 64 from 40

GAMEPLAY:
Weapon Balance
Light Machine Guns were less attractive than other weapon classes, we have given them various forms of adjustments to make them more viable mid-range weapons.
Increased LMG and SLR bullet suppression at medium range.
Increased aimed accuracy of support machine guns.
Decreased Lewis first shot recoil multiplier.
Decreased Huot first shot recoil multiplier.
Increased BAR M1918 horizontal recoil.
Low Weight machine guns now also gain accuracy faster during fire.
Added bipods to Low Weight LMGs.
Reduced effect of recoil direction slightly and made it scale correctly with recoil modifiers like bipods.
Adjusted accuracy values of SMGs and LMGs in customize to better represent differences.
Hellriegel now overheats a little bit slower and has increased horizontal recoil.
Slightly reduced Mle 1903 reload time.
Reduced deploy time of Mle 1903 and Repetierpistole M1912 and sped up the deploy animation for a higher energy feeling.
Slightly reduced the rate of fire of the Russian 1895 Infantry and Sniper and made the time when you can fire again more readable.
Changed damage multipliers for buckshot to be more consistent. This will eliminate some unintentionally high and unintentionally low damage hits.
Gadget Balance
Limpet Mines are now indestructible until they detonate. This prevents other players from “stealing” the Limpet Mine with explosives. The Limpet Mine is intended to be timed detonation only.
Increased number of magazines for gas and incendiary Tripwire Bombs to 2 to make them more attractive over HE Tripwire Bombs.
Mortars have had a balance pass. Players now have to pick more clearly between slow, accurate fire, and rapid, inaccurate fire.
Mortars now require a time after deploy before they are fully accurate.
Increased the inaccuracy penalty for firing multiple mortar rounds quickly.
Reduced the max damage radius of Support Airburst mortars. Mortars will need to land closer to do their full 65 damage.

Frag:
Decreased time until explosion after collision from 1.1 s to 0.7 s
Added minimum time of 1.0 s before it can explode after firing

Reduced blast radius from 7 m to 6 m
Increased minimum time before explosion after firing from 0.3 s to 0.75 s

Are they trying to help Ukps4gaf win even easier when attacking? Have to go flawless on all maps now haha.
Will make it a bit tougher though when defending against decent opposition however.
Increase attacker maximum tickets to 200 from 150

I know the winning will be easier like hell attacking but god damn.... the defending. Kaiserslacht last night is the closest we've come to losing a defending game EVER. Second sector of the second map.
I have a feeling we'll be finding more of that.

It's an impressive and very much needed and appreciated patch!
But, the game both pre and post patch has been nigh on unplayable thanks to constant lag (PS4). My system remains on a wired connection, but since last Friday I've basically been jumping around the map like an idiot. Some servers are better than others, but ultimately it's making the game a chore to play.

Sounds like the low-res pixel bug has been resolved with a minimum dynamic resolution scaling value.

I'll go out on a limb now to say that UKps4Gaf will not lose an attack ever....
We normally white wash every map anyway so with all these buffs it's gonna be a bloodbath
I am not too happy with the update.
- Already got two "server disconnect" error in a 45 min period. I wasn't able to finished none of my ongoing matches. Never had any issue before.
- The medal system continues to suck big time.
- Is it just me or they nerf the "A shotgun model"?

Some really nice changes.
This one is great: If the squad leader ignores requests for orders the leadership is transferred to another member of the squad.
When a squad member requests an order (and there is no active squad order), the requesting player is added to the want-to-be-leader queue for that squad and a 60 seconds timer starts (the timer is not reset if there are other squad members waiting in the queue already).
When the 60 seconds pass, the first member in the squad queue (the one who requested order earliest) is promoted as a squad leader. If there are other members in the queue after him, the timer is automatically reset to 60 seconds and if the new leader doesn't give orders over that period either, then the next waiting in line is promoted and so on.
If the current squad leader issues an order, then the queue for the squad is cleared.
Being as how I often play by myself and get stuck with leaders who don't give proper orders or orders at all, this makes me very happy.

Yeah, I highlighted those changes further up as well. Now you'll only be stuck with no squad orders for a maximum of 60 seconds until either you or another requesting squad member is promoted. This is a great change.

Just seen this;
If that's a stealth nerf I will scream and scream until I'm sick
Oh wait - I think it just fucks the hip fire nerds.
