[QUOTE=JesseR92;51012521]Is there a way to increase the sensitivity on controller I cant use a keyboard all that well due to physical limitations,and the base sensitivity is beyond sluggish.[/QUOTE]
under basic controls you can adjust the stick sensitivity for both infantry and vehicles
also how do you shake a tail in a plane? I've figured out in a bomber just pull up and slow down and they'll overshoot. but in an attack plane or dogfighter it seems kinda impossible to lose a tail once you have one.
[QUOTE=usaokay;51012590]What are the prerequisites for the armored train to spawn?
Cause it spawned about 30 seconds before my team was about to lose.[/QUOTE]
I know one thing that will cause it to spawn is if one team takes all the points. I think normally it spawns if one team gets a certain number of points ahead of the other team. Im saying this because I've had really close matches where the train didnt spawn at all.
Some aspects of the game are ridiculous and need to be completely changed
There's a lot of upgrades that are just Better. Period. than other things. There's no trade off to use one item for a bonus in one area, but lose a bonus the other item was good at. In fact almost everything is an upgrade rather than a side grade
What's the point in using any sniper rifle that has less than 100 damage when all the other stats are the same. What's the point in using the default gun on the fighters when the heavy guns are just better. I feel like there's going to be a 'best in slot' for everything and after 3 days it's all anyone is going to use because there's no point in gimping yourself
Time to Kill severely needs a rework. In Hardcore mode this won't be a problem, hopefully, but if you're within 25 meters or so, and a guy bayonet charges you, you may as well get ready to spawn because you're done. If you have the armored up 200 round machine gun kit and decide to camp the PoD of a room, you're not going to be able to kill anyone faster than they can bayonet charge you and instakill you.
K Bullets are useless against tanks, and too powerful against cars. They should make them penetrate and do damage to soldiers inside, instead of damage the tank, and only shots against a critical component against a car should do any damage to it
Tanks also need to get a nerf to damage vs infantry after about 60ish yards. People are getting in them and just sitting way back and sniping with them, going 60 and 0, and there ain't dick you can do about it. Again, in Hardcore mode this probably won't be as big of an issue when people don't have glowing emblems over them from being spotted
Anti-Air guns need a nerf also. If you're in a fighter/attack plane and start getting hit by it, you most likely won't escape it before you're destroyed, and it shakes your plane as if you collided with another plane with each hit. The AA gun on the train basically keeps the air space for the majority of the map off limits. I would be happy if it was just insanely inaccurate. It's ONE Anti Air flak cannon, and it's WORLD WAR ONE. Flak Cannons in WW1 were almost useless and regular machine guns made for better Anti-Air, but the one in game here is like a god damn CIWS

They'll probably change it in later patches, I remember there being the same thing in BF4 (flash hider for example)
It's a fun game. The flying is top notch.
The novelty of the infantry game play is dying quickly for me, though.
It's essentially playing on a bf4 server with DMRs, PDWS, and snipers only enabled, with some LMGs sprinkled in.
The over-abundance of automatics is sort of annoying.
Turn a corner at C, get wiped by smgs.
Walk out anywhere remotely open, get spammed to death by a medic's DMR.
Would have been much more interesting if boltguns were the centerpiece, I think. Have the Enfield have quick cycle so its still sort of spammy, have the mauser have a slower cycle but more power, 1895 could be a bit in the middle, something like that instead of what we have now.
welp
BF:H sucks, uninstalling.
Got a question does calling in artillery when defending on rush actually do anything? I haven't actually killed anything when I do and even when I'm attacking I don't seem to see anything targeting us. How does this work?
Finally reached my beta goal of getting all my classes to rank one. Also finally got a chance to run around in a Light Tank, got 28 kills defending C while taking barely any damage in the last probably seven minutes of the round. Fantastic. Gonna get nerfed hard.
Xfactor got shat on hard:

From what I can tell and have heard elsewhere artillery in any form is not in the Beta. Not sure why. This means that, amongst other things, calling in artillery in Rush does nothing currently. This also means that when you are retreating as the defenders in Rush the attacking team isn't getting shelled like the announcer says they are supposed to be.
I know I'm playing Battlefield when I'm the only one trying to take out a tank and getting blown to shit after disabling it.

Isn't Xfactor one of Lvlcap's cronies of ascended Call of Duty players?
[QUOTE=usaokay;51013078]Looks like the huge rock only reachable by plane is the new sniper camping spot.
Needs to be a bit flatter like Siege of Shanghai's rooftops so it would be easier to deter the snipers.[/QUOTE]
Easy, just add dust or haze like siege of shanghai
Or remove parachutes... we didn't really use them in WW1 anyway.
I imagine the the rage would be apocalyptic. :v:

Battle of Jutland or Gallipoli please
any idea what the patch added/changed? also, does anyone know at what time the beta ends?
The guy who manages the servers at DICE needs to be shot
Who in the name of hanging Christ thinks it's a smart, intelligent idea to set up ALL the Asian servers in fucking nippon
Set up one or two servers in Singapore/Vietnam for fucking christ's sakes my god it's not that bloody hard
[QUOTE=Jetpack Bear;51011407]Id like to hope they'll extend the beta but it is EA after all so eh[/QUOTE]
This is the longest beta I've ever played. Most last for only a weekend.

All snipers deserve this
Oh man just spend at least 10 minutes in a bomber as the front gunner and got over 32 kills just spraying that sweet autocannon at the ottos.
A well coordinated bomber team can be glorious, especially with that OP front gun.

Most of the DICE announcements are cryptic as fook:
[url]https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/29619/battlefield-1-open-beta-pc-update-090716#latest[/url]
Latest patch, no patch notes, what more can I say?
Some folks boasted improved performance, others complained about the old ones yet again.
The alpha and beta have been a clusterfuck of issues and I'm afraid that anyone preordering will once again be DICE's little beta-testers.
Imagine this: beta testers paying Dice to report/fix bugs :D
BF4 all over again...

Seems like planes and tanks have red outlines when spotted.
I find it weird that the flametrooper absorb damages from gas grenade even though he's wearing a gas mask.
Tank hunter variant of the Landship is the most amazing thing ever. All it needs is a co-ordinated crew and you can take out the enemy behemoth stupidly fast.
[QUOTE=Why485;50996395]It takes a while until it clicks. I would say to slow down and move through the map more methodically and slowly. You could also try to focus on defending instead of just attacking everywhere, because you'll be more aware of your surroundings than an enemy that's running into a new area. There's a weird sort of skill that comes out of learning to spot dudes and guess where they're coming from and that only comes with experience.[/QUOTE]
Nothing fucking works when everyone on the other team seems to know exactly where you lurk, can shoot you through solid objects, can shoot you from halfway across the map, from awkward angles where their player model isn't even looking at you but from their POV they're looking directly at you. Defending somewhere never works cause you're stuck in one position praying someone wanders near you and even then odds are I dump an entire mag of rounds into them and do nothing while they fire 2 or 3 rounds and kill you with no problem, regardless of their weapons. Or they still manage to get the jump on you and kill you from some awkward place. This game seriously pisses me off.
I'm haven't had issues with snipers. I tend to hang around C and D since those are probably the best spots to hold.
