Playing as an aggressive scout is probably the most satisfying thing to do in the game. It's hard as heck though so I don't do it often but when you get into a groove it's amazing fun.

Play with GAF (PS4) if you can.
It's a bummer they removed the trip mines from the Support class after the beta
PC :/
Bummer.

Team balancing is utter horseshit if you solo queue. I get matched against a level 95, 72, 63 and 53 and I'm the only person above 50 on my team in rush (76). My teammates suck donkey balls every time and I fucking hate that.

Not really what I was going for, but I'll take it. Haha.
I have 140 hours played, am rank 69 and only today got the last class to lvl 10
The grind is pretty intense, but not as bad as say BF3 level 100 colonel, which took me over 1000 hours to hit

Ever since they started charging for the crates my supply has completely dried up. I just don't get them anymore. It went from a couple a day to zero.
I don't think the pay 4 crates is the reason for that. I have only received about 12 crates total in my entire time with the game.
In my experience playing on PC and X1, the steam roll is very much less likely on PC. Happens all the time on X1, rarely on PC.

Probably a coincidence. It would help if I had any idea what you got them for though.
It's random.

Attacking with GAF'ers, learning to bust tanks last night while Disagree Guy was out -

Good fun, can see why people go running after tanks like lunatics!

How? I got all 4 to level 10 in under a hundred hours. I think it was around 90.
Finally got Medic and Support to Rank 3 today. Think I'm going to call it quits there. Don't really enjoy playing those classes and the Rank 10 unlocks aren't really worth it.
Ah but the amount of grenades that people have and the relative ease in which they can be replenished is something that DICE does have influence over.

Yeah. Maybe even less for me iirc. I have 113 hours now and level 87.
All classes level 10 and tanker class.

I got three today with 5-6 matches played. I seem to get them more often when I end at the top of the scoreboard, but there's still a semblance of randomness.
yeah i keep feeling like i get em more when i do well
I know that it is supposed to be random, but my anecdotal experience seems to indicate otherwise, at least prior to the list patch. Prior to the patch it seemed that I was more likely to get a battlepack if I scored top 5 over all for both teams, got on the leader board for "most things", or just joined a game moments before it ended. After the patch it does not seem to be following that same pattern, but it's still early and I don't nearly have the same amount of games since the patch. So far my frequency of getting awarded battle packs seems to be down.
It would be really interesting if the community tracked their stats vs. Battlepack drops to try and look for correlations over a large sample. Have any devs confirmed that it's truly just a RNG and chance, with no other weighting?
The problem is that dive bombing is the best way to get kills so it lead to becoming sitting ducks

Urgh.... trying to get 10 squad suppression assists for this shitty medal is tough... I got one by chasing a squad member around like a creepy stalker on argonne forest and thats it.
A lot of the medals have insanely stupid requirements
Get 5 revolver kills in one life?
Good fucking luck with that BS

Finally had some time today to sit down a play for a few hours. Turned the head phones up and went to war. This game is so good.
I think I found the load out that fits me best. All about that medic life. Just had a game where I went 88-32 with a the most flag caps and a tonnn of revives.
I still only play solo and feel like I have had good success. I'm only a level 19 but I have 761 score per minute and a 64% win rate. Is that any good gaf?

Yeah 64% is pretty good for solo play in this game I'd say. The autobalance in between rounds makes it really really hard to get on any half decent win streaks.

Played Oil of Empires with a friend a few nights ago, defending. So many on our team were sniping from the far back of spawns and never going near objectives, even medics were doing it.
We basically got steamrolled on Fao Fortress and steamrolled until the final base on Suez where we held them back twice (and bloody hell did we fight for it), then we got steamrolled on Sinai Desert and were able to just edge out a win on the final set of bases.
Trust me, the dead guys on this list were snipers too (my squadmate was scout, but was using infantry rifle and attack/defending objectives up close).

It's fine if you're facing the right direction and are on the right angled ground. Otherwise you're screwed.
Though ideally you'd be facing the enemy base to attack/defend it, and a good bomber will come from the sides.

You can choose attack or defend? Welcome back stat padding - always Attack
Maps in the dark? Model 10 is purring at the thought
Had great fun with the Model 10 Hunter again last night. Killed some guys at close/mid distances where i bet they said "wtf" out loud
Then i got on the receiving end in one round and had 10 encounters with one M10 H user and he killed me 8 times. NERF THAT GUN... jk.
Better hit that first shot in a shotty vs shotty dance.
I now really prefer the Rocket Gun before Dynamite. Perfect for taking out snipers long range or people at windows

And planes
And retreating tanks that have made it to "safety" behind enemy lines
Stationary weapons from a distance too, like AA
At first i was "lol, you have to prone to use it? Not going to bother" coming from BF4 where you can fire rockets while runnning but it really grew on me.
Catching a plane is probably not that easy though.

It is surprisingly easy when they swoop down low and go slow. Unfortunately it's not powerful enough to always kill them, sometimes you just do some damage to a wing. Enough to scare off them away for a few minutes at least.
Usually does in the regon of 30-40 damage.
Weird choice for that. Who's gonna choose defend willingly?

People on Reddit lol. People are all like "Stupid. Everybody will take defense on Monte Grappa" lol.
I will always take attack. Way more fun and more points even if you lose.

Yeah man and defense is far too time consuming if you are decent at it.
We held all three attacks on the first sector of Kaiser last night and it took bloody ages.
Attacking you can easily get 50k exp per run. It's a no brainer.
