Heavy tank for me, just short of my 10th with 998 kills. 298 kills for the Frag/Stick Grenade, love that thing.
Ya I saw the messages pop up from people saying they were having trouble even seeing the party. I didn't have any of those problems though and it allowed me to attempt to join on you just fine. The problem was your game filled up and nobody left I guess haha.
It's really tricky going from the Autoloading to the Selbstlader and I haven't used the Autoloading anywhere near as much as you. Whenever I'd just calmly place my shots people would drop like flies but as soon as I started hitting the fire rate cap every single shot except the first one would miss even at close range. I feel like once I get used to it it'll be really good.
Yup frag nade is really good. I'm up to 65 stars (heavy tank) and 6.5k kills. People get pissed off instantly when they see you with 10 or more stars for whatever reason.

You say spawn camping I say - they have a massive wide area and boats and tanks and a dreadnought....
If they can't even break into our territory then two things;
A) They aren't good enough
B) Oil of Empires is a terrible map
I think I got my friend addicted to the MG15 low weight. That bipod.

Ill still play, i played BF4 over 200 hours. But ive never gotten everything as fast as in this game before.

Yeah the 4 DLC's will apparently add a load of new weapons etc...
I'll be surprised if they don't increase the level cap too. Especially with so many people nearing level 100 this soon after game release. Double xp too.....
A bit like the Mondragon that you have to control your shots more then. I'd be fine at range but attacking/defending on flags majority is pretty close range so I'd find it hard to be calmly placing my shots!
Ouch, I think I would hate you on as well if I came across you in a game haha! I'll have to stay below 10 stars now somehow.
I say.. spawn camping should NEVER be encouraged or excused. That's awful. Ruins the fun.
Play people straight up.
Haha, nah man keep at it. Don't let some haters bring you down for being good at the game.
Or two charges.
True, but it would be far too OP if they did that. You'd need to cut the damage to 20 a piece or something. Which is totally doable.
Or insta disable when you get hit with a charge, though I could see that being really OP too.

I recently unlocked the martini as well. Nonetheless I did terrible with it :/
And does anyone tend to play X country using X weapons? For example whenever I am on the German Empire, I tend to use the Mp-18 and Luger.
Agreed. They are pretty strong so giving two would be OP. I also love blowing up houses with those limpet charges.
Kinda. I like to play as the Germans whenever possible because I like their uniforms, weapons, and language the best.
Also if you're one of those people who made it so all the factions speak English, just uninstall the game. We don't need your kind here.

I dunno how they greenlit dreadnoughts. Ridiculous.
They should have half the health they currently do and only be usable for one sector in Operations.

Well that post was about yesterday! I am going to be on today, I think.

At first I had no idea what you were talking about, then I saw "Operations" at the very end and was like "Ah.... now it makes sense." Because in Conquest, Dreadnoughts rarely do much of anything. I feel like I've died to them maybe a handful of times in ~80+ hours of play.
I don't know why behemoths exist in Operations to begin with, considering how tiny the playable area is.

for the last sector in operations, behemoths def shouldn't be deployed. Besides that, I really do like the behemoths.
My main problem with them is that you've gotta risk your life to do like 35 dmg to a tank that can easily insta repair, turn, and blow your ass up. Seems like a LOT of risk and little reward to take an entire slot in your arsenal. I say increase damage or provide two for 40-45 dmg total. If you are able to run your ass up on a tank, you should be rewarded.

I get 38 damage against heavies with them, seems pretty good to me. Heavy tanks and landships shouldn't be able to insta-repair, though, getting a track disabled by a limpet charge should strike fear into the driver's heart and not be something to shrug off by pressing 3 or 4.
Is it 38? Wonder if it matters where they are placed.
I'd agree if they put a limit on how long you're disabled though, like in BF4, instead of being permanently disabled until you repair in some way.
The MH takes some getting used to, but it can be such a beast, albeit a bit inconsistent at times.

Man I love Operations. I'm lttp between the backlog and waiting for the Pro.
I haven't defended yet so we'll see how long I dig it.
So I'm playing as a Medic and I'm only level 12. I'm still using the same gun I was given in the beginning. What guns am I looking to try and which to avoid.
There are more guns right?

I love the Mondragon Storm or the Selblaster (sp) Marksman for Medic.

You have to spent war bonds to unlock them, as you level up your class, you gain accesses to more weapons. A good thing about less weapons (compare to bf4) there is more of a balance. Frankly I haven't found a weapon I hate and can perform well with all of them.

Thanks for the replies. I'll spend my first war bonds tonight for some gear.

I unlocked it last night as well, and while I felt like I was doing really well with it, I still did not match your experience with it lol. Good job!
Yeah, you have to time the shots correctly with the Selbstlader and stand still, too fast and the bullets start coming out at 90 degree angles, but you can get away with some movement at short/medium range as long as the timing is good. The accuracy at range is a laser, I out snipe snipers all the time. Between that and the mag capacity it's my go to medic rifle.
If the map or situation are going to require more CQB then the Autoloading is where it's at. Fantastic gun for making the medic playable up close.

99% of the time they don't make a difference. The team using them already lost.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the superweapons in general. Just bring back ticket bleed so the opposition has a serious chance of staging a comeback.
Ticket bleed makes comebacks feel much more rewarding and skill based.

This deflection mechanic is really starting to get on my nerves. I understand shots grazing off if your shells are coming in nearly parallel to the target, but when you aim near center-mass at a heavy tank with an AT gun and two shells in a row bounce off and do 3 fucking damage because the turret happens to be slightly sloped, I want to scream.

Yeah it looks great on the Pro.
Some of the medics might not have the revive kit equipped.

How do you level up a class fast?
Yup agreed. What does this add to the game? Coming from someone who lives in tanks.

I still wonder if the revive icon shows up if the medic doesn't have the syringe ( revive kit).
Edit: PTFO, spam medic packs and ammo packs, spotting fares. Also be in a airship, train, battleship as that class. Same goes for taking them down on the AA gun, field gun, etc.

Hmm I might have to test that out with a friend.

Not sure I'm proud of this, but the other team didn't seem to want to kill us. We both had a heavy tank the entire round. I don't know the other dude, total rando.
Again, I've never seen that. The minute I'm in a tank the expendables are on me instantly

Let me know. If I play tonight, I will also test this out.

I think it was a Thanksgiving special. You had to play three separate days between November 15th-25th and win a game of Operations. The dates might not be exactly right but I think these were the requirements.
