[QUOTE=Araknid;51252315]What's the auto revolver and russian lever skins look like?[/QUOTE] I have no idea about the russian because i am still waiting for the MP to actually recognize me having 100% completed the campaign. But the revolver skin is pretty neat. It is gold, with engravings shaped after a card game theme, probs poker. I plan to make a full video once the unlocks are actually there

I really like the glitch where you put on gasmask and its fiter doesn't show up and you get a clear screen

Is it not possible to change loadouts and buy weapons in the main menu?

[QUOTE=Pandamox;51242916]the problem with flak cannons is their damage combined with the fact that it completely nullifies your ability to fly. lower one or the other, because right now a handful of hits from that and an attack plane is dead, and it's incredibly easy to hit an airplane because as soon as you hit it with one they just fly straight because the game literally takes away control from the pilot until they stop getting hit[/QUOTE] Just found out today that [b]anything that damages a plane takes away control from the pilot[/b] this means you can shoot an smg at a plane that is flying towards you on the ground, and they will lose control (from any damage they take) and just fly into the ground. this is a huge oversight and ridiculous

Patchnotes will be available [URL="https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/categories/battlefield-1-game-updates"]here[/URL] once they're available.

Two bugs, or issues I've noticed so far. 1) Using a mortar, or any map weapon emplacements not being able to rotate them. 2) Running, walking, driving, shooting and dieing in.. I guess slow motion? However no one else is "stuttering" or having the same effects.

Yeah, nah, fuck behemoths. Rolling a team for most of the match then losing narrowly because the enemy team got a mobile death fortress is dumb as shit. The train and dreadnought make flying anywhere on that half of the map impossible and it just rolls around grabbing points at will. Gifting the enemy team with a victory because they were getting stomped so hard is the opposite of good gameplay design and I'm already sick of it.

Would you rather the winning team gets an even bigger advantage leaving the losing team with even worse odds?

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;51252390]Anyone else getting wonky mouse controls from changing the process priority to high?[/QUOTE] Yeah that was also a thing in the beta. You have to set the game to just above average to get the FPS boost while still retaining smooth mouse control. [editline]24th October 2016[/editline] Still don't like how Dreadnoughts are behemoths. Would've been a lot more fun if both teams can simultaneously have their own Dreadnoughts that are slightly weaker than the behemoth Dreadnought we have right now.

Battlefield 1 starts using between 70 - 90% of my CPU after playing a while, game's freezing. Anyone else with this problem?

Don't know how true that is though.

I've played a whole bunch of conquest and I really can't recall any instances where the losing team starts to win because of their behemoth. The dreadnought and blimp can't even cap objectives, and the train is very easily destroyed by putting mines on the tracks as well as just generally being an easier target for AT grenades and such. Battlefield has always had a problem of one team getting absolutely stomped and you really can't fault DICE for trying to do something about it.

Hell, i no joke solo'd the blimp on Ballroom Blitz with the AA on C, you just gotta take out the turrets first. The only exception to this is the Dreadnought. Thing is too fuckin' tough because the AAs take everything out, so you have to rely on suicide runs. One game of mine on i think on Fao just got to the point where people would stop running along the shore and ignored the bugger until the game ended, we couldn't touch it otherwise.

In Operations mode, the behemoths are massive game changers.

Dreadnought is an issue? For me, it's usually taken down fairly quickly with these seaside fortress cannons I'll be frank, I think the zeppelins and battleships and trains are working for me - usually me and my team are doing well enough that we rarely get to see these monsters on our side, but when enemies get them, the game ends in a 100, 50 ticket difference. Sometimes it's literally a fight to the very last ticket - and even if the balance was brought in kinda artificially, these fights make for far more enjoyable experience than an outright stomp from either side. Even if it can sometimes feel that the game turning from a stomp into a close fight cheats us out of a 1.5x xp bonus. Maybe the bonus could be tweaked - rewarding both teams for fighting to the end, and not only the victorious one.

[t]https://jii.moe/EJf0HJvyz.png[/t] is sniper glint different or just me?

[QUOTE=RautaPalli;51252735]The blimp can capture objectives, but yeah, in 27 h I don't think I've seen even one game where a behemoth has turned the game around.[/QUOTE] I have several times. It just depends on how good the driver and gunners are and how well the team can take advantage of it.

[QUOTE=Wulfram;51252822]I have several times. It just depends on how good the driver and gunners are and how well the team can take advantage of it.[/QUOTE] The pilot has to immediately take out the AA guns or it will die quickly

Every time I try join a US server I lose connection after about 2 minutes. Ping is around 200-250. Only US servers have this problem for me, wtf

[QUOTE=Nexosz;51252744]Dreadnought is an issue? For me, it's usually taken down fairly quickly with these seaside fortress cannons[/QUOTE] The dreadnought is rather useless in my opinion. I've never seen it do any use before.

When I was commanding the dreadnought, I turned the game around with it. It might be different in any other circumstance, but in this case the game depended on us winning the fort, and with my team spotting I was able to lay down fire that killed multiple enemies with each shot, clearing the way for them to take the fort.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;51252862]When I was commanding the dreadnought, I turned the game around with it.[/QUOTE] Your lucky the enemy team didn't immediately camp the dreadnaught with torpedo boats. Had our dreadnaught get destroyed in under 2 minutes because nobody on the boat could kill the torpedo boats
