Battlefield 1 |OT| Make War Great Again

Why even say this. Pretty much everyone can agree that playing solo sucks a lot of the time yet you still feel the need to chirp UKGAF because they play together? Should everyone just play solo and suffer in unison? It's not some exclusive club (anyone can play with them) and they're all pretty nice people in my experience. As much as I love complaining about randoms (seriously I love it) playing with people that actively want to win is way more fun.
Low Weight or Suppression for the MG15 and the Storm variant for the Madsen are what I prefer for those guns.
For the MG.15 I prefer the storm. I tried the low weight (one with bipod and no scope?) But after the storm I found using it running around slightly off, having the bipod was great though.

I agree. I play with these guys sometimes and they are a fantastic entertaining group of people.

So what's a decent SPM? I've put in 15 hours and my KDR is slowly inching up to 1.0, but I'm always just middle of the pack on the scoreboard.

I don't know if this is a BF thing or what, but my gosh it's annoying when your teammates don't play their class and/or ignore objectives. You'd think the defending team in Operations would be filled with guys defending the flag points, but you'd be wrong!

you have to quote to see it. Regardless what system are you playing on?

I think earlier in this thread I mentioned that only the AA loadout is worth using. But lately, I've been using the default variant (Howitzer, maybe?) and found it to be quite excellent at knocking out vehicles, BF1's version of a tank destroyer. Especially on maps with long sight-lines like St. Quentin or Sinai, you can help out your team tremendously by forcing enemy tanks to withdraw and repair even if you don't manage to destroy them outright.
Vehicles have actually been given more importance in this game than the last few Battlefield games, with maps having clear open sections for vehicle gameplay and the vehicles balanced so that they are not as worthless and easy to take out as BF4.

Logged into the BF1 companion site to create a new emblem and noticed that I have 48 service stars with the heavy tank. XD
I think I need a break...

Don't understand this mentality at all. If winning is "everything" then you need to squad up in a coordinated group (like we do in UKGAF) and if you can't take some pride or enjoyment out of your own performance then you shouldn't play this game (or any team based game) solo queue as it's only going to bring you frustration and misery.

I haven't bought the extended yet, still stuck on the mondragon storm bc I got the Mexican camo lol
I also really like the cel-rigotti optical actually.
Auto-loading regular is kinda trash though, fast ttk but you have to reload between each kill. I don't have the extended but I'd recommend that over the two others.
Edit: Also I asked last page but didn't get a response. Is the infantry or carbine variant better for run and gun scout? I hope the new DLCs add more scout gadgets, I don't really like any of the current ones tbh.
Ahh ok. Thanks!

My apologies to UKGAF (and others); I went over the line. I've just been frustrated because it seems like every time I join up I'm paired with people who have no interest in doing the objective, or no idea how to do the objective (did the game just get a discount or something? Lots of new people in the last week), and I'm always up against teams that are so well coordinated they end up spawn-camping us into oblivion. But that's no reason to lash out against guys that like to play together. I'm sorry for acting like a jackass. My buddies all bailed on me to go back to Battlefield 4 too. I'm going to have to find some people to play with on the regular, because being in a good squad is a jolly good time.

Don't feel bad. ~90-100 hours of playtime here, and the only behemoth I've driven is the dreadnaught. I drove the train back in the beta, but that's it.
If I get behind the wheel of the zeppelin, our team is probably fucked LOL. I didn't even have any idea what I was doing with the dreadnaught. I feel like it's incredibly hard to drive behemoths to begin with because people spawn in them so damn fast.
It really sucks that you can't even practice with them offline or in an empty server. DICE seriously needs to bring back the Test Range.
How do kills actually get calculated towards the score in conquest?
Just had a game on Suez which we lost, we held 3 flags to their 2 for 10 minutes of the match solid but the points gap just stayed around 30. Surely holding the more flags we should of caught up even if slowly.

Yeah, it sucks because I really like the Selb 1906. It takes three shots to kill someone, so lets give it only five rounds per clip. Great idea DICE!
As far as I'm aware, kills don't count. It's the respawn that uses a ticket so it would seem from what you're saying that your team were dying and then respawning at rate greater than the other team (enemy medics doing a good job) so much so that it was enough to negate the ticket bleed from your extra cap.
That makes sense as the kills were pretty similar between the 2 teams. Some mean medics on their team.

I'm pretty sure they took our capture point ticket bleed entirely.

This is why DICE needs to return to the old system of ticket bleed, i.e. holding a majority of the flags completely prevents the enemy team from gaining any points from them. I still have no idea why they decided to change it in the first place.
I wish to the lord of the skies that I was a decent pilot. I can destroy infantry v infantry but I can't pilot to save my life.

It's super easy compared to past BF games. Is it a control issue? You can adjust quite a bit in the settings
I can control the planes pretty well, it's just a lack of experience. I don't use planes because I know I'm more effective on the ground which keeps me in a loop because I always like to be as effective as possible therefore I'll never be good at piloting.
I'm sure if I practiced I'd get good at it but I just can't commit to it ):

Finally used the the crossbow. I liked it a lot. Especially good for clearing the trenches on Suez operation.
That's probably one of the dumbest design decisions they have made in the series, and that's saying a lot!

Madsen MG kinda sucks, kicks like a mule and doesn't have the damage or magazine size to compensate for it. Benet-Mercie is still my favorite LMG

I'll routinely have at least a 10/1 K/D ratio when I play with Cavalry on maps like Suez or Ballroom Blitz. Just played a match on Suez where I was 25/2 all kills on Horseback.
We controlled the game from start to finish so I didn't have to worry about getting off my high horse so squadmates could spawn on me.
Just dominated on horseback, running through the hills hitting whoever came my way with sword.
It also helps teammates out because I'll have opponents shooting at me giving up their location.

I don't know how you do it, man. Cavalry is beyond broken. Gets stuck on everything, sword never swings on the side you need it to, rears up seemingly at random, refuses to leap over objects it should easily be able to...
What sucks is that when it works, it's super fun and effective. The OHK sword slashes are awesomely satisfying, and the AT grenades are super fun to use. I really hope DICE gives it a complete overhaul so that it doesn't feel pre-alpha compared to everything else in the game.
A friend told me on PC with KB+M, Cavalry doesn't control that well. And that kind of makes sense without analog sticks.
It works pretty well with an XBO controller IMO. Movement and being able to dodge and weave while being shot at are the most important aspects of Cavalry
It seems like sometimes a lot of sword slashes do not connect. And if you swing while running over an opponent it almost never runs over the opponent. Whereas if I'm just galloping and I run over an opponent I'll get the kill for the run over.
Its something that happens so often that instead of swinging right when I'm about to run over someone, I just run over them.
And yeah, the animations and physics of a horse jumping over a 8 foot wall are hilarious.

add me if you want to group up. I'm also sick of getting gang raped in operations though i do manage to get lucky and get put ok the side doing the raping from time to time.
I said this yesterday, they need to give a 25% bonus for every battalion you take out. At least this way if you lose a 60 minute round you get a 1.5x bonus for putting up a fight.
They only reason i stay in games is so that i dont get put in another blowout. It takes forever to load these maps.

Damn, that could very well be it. I hope they improve it soon because right now it handles like crap on top of all the bugs/glitches. It's so freaking fun though when it actually works like it's supposed to. I hate that it feels so utterly broken half the time.

An example of what I mean when I say swinging right as you run someone over doesn't register. Happens all the time. I cleaned up after that though.

People are hating on the Huot? I just unlocked it have used it for about two rounds. It seems like a realy solid gun, with the only downside being a low clip size. Is there something I'm missing?

So the game artificially the match and it still counts as a loss? The game hasn't started yet, but if you leave that's a loss too? Are you fucking kidding me Dice?
