Man this game is so buggy. After dying and reloading a checkpoint, Kovic is now a Smurf.
Yeah, my game is doing some stuff like this. Mainly ground textures, though.
I get that a lot on some maps, ground textures coming and going.
Are the tanks you're shooting at being repaired? A rear hit with an RPG nukes half a tank's health, so it takes two hits to kill if your target isn't being babysat by enemy engineers.
Something else is going on, a rear hit on me easily takes 30-40% of my HP.

C4 BEATS ALL.
Nothing better than creeping on a tank and stickin it to dat ass. I seem to have trouble remembering that thing called "Minimum Safe Distance."
I mean, who the hell has time for that?!
BOOM!

Sweet, now I can wait to join a full server. Then, I can finally get in and crash!
A for effort, Dice.
I installed that when troubleshooting for crashes a few days back. I installed it as well as an old directx 9 redistributale just in case (aware it's running dx11)...
Still have stutters occassionally, however if you see my other post it's evident it's not utilizing free gpu power for consistent high frames, it's only using high gpu usage if you crank all the settings up max or enable vsync. That's obviously a big factor for stutters and big framerate dips, as it'll dip from 100fps down to 50 and you look at msi and realize it's only utilizing 51% gpu then within 2 seconds it jumps up to 100% gpu usage when you need all the power to maintain fluidity it's not delivering it consistently.
Gpu usuage fluctuates wildly unless vsync or crank those visuals max should you have a beefy card.
The stutters I get are server side massive latency issues/lag, though not on all servers. It's just a sloppy release which is Dice.. Game is fantastic but it's clearly in need of some quality assurance.
link?
Seems weird that they prioritized joining server queues over all the crashing... Unless I'm reading wrong.

Probably an easier fix.
It's the server-side patches, was on my server's control-panel page.
They were probably working on both issues simultaneously.
One might be easier to fix than the other. So while one guy might be cracking out that fix another person did this.
On the grenades topic, I find the V40 Mini much more enjoyable than the standard Frag. Started using it after laughing at people flinging a grenade from way back only to see it land straight on my face. Also the fact you have 3 instead of a single Frag makes a world of difference.
The incendiary seems good for area denial but I didn't notice much damage from it. Also I swear it blinds more than the friggin flashbang lol.

Your doing something wrong as it doesn't take that many shots to take out a tank.

Here I was fighting to get to level 10 so I could play Commander Mode on mobile/tablet. And then I realized that the damn app isn't even out yet.
Anyone else thinks the AC 130 is useless?
It moves around too much to hit a mobile target consistently and the damage isn't large enough to make it worthwhile. Between the reload time and the time it takes to aim accurately for a 2nd shot the Tank you aim at might already have been repaired quite a bit.

Yep, stuttering is back for me, too. Sigh
5120 x 3200 downsample.
i love you.
Yeah I've been using the mini after swapping between the rgo and incendiary. Just have to aim differently with the mini. Would've been cool if there was a lob button.
I don't think I've had full on kills with the incendiary unless they were already down on health.
Ah ok, well good to hear.
Now fix the damn stuttering DICE.
It must have something to do with DirectX.
The 105mm gun is good, the other 2 guns seem useless. It's also a friggin sitting duck now, no more AA gun. The most infuriating thing is the limited fire arc and how quick your target gets out of your line of fire. It's especially damning with the 105.
Makes a huge difference.

Just beat the campaign. Gotta say I actually enjoyed it. Doesn't hurt that they give you incentive to beat it for MP unlocks but still. Not bad.
Really starting to enjoy this game. Was a little uncertain when I first got it and almost went back to BF3 but fell in love last night playing with some buddies. Just bought premium.

So, how is the class balance in comparison to BF3?
I always disliked how competent the Engineer was at infantry combat. Engineers always felt too well rounded for anti-tank and anti-infantry combat.
I liked it better in Bad Company 2 where the engineer had a silenced SMG. It was near impossible to go toe to toe with Medics and Assault classes as a result, but boy were you great at destroying tanks.

Yes.
Engineers start with an smg but unlock carbines (for all classes) very quickly, I haven't looked at the SMGs ever since. But their anti armour capability is diminished compared to previous games.

Even downsampling can't save those phone/power lines
BF3 was like that too. BF4 seems worse in this regard. Seems no matter what I do, I can't get the jaggies off of those lines HAHA
