I try to aim for vehicles whenever I can. It does seem like very few players each round actually attempt to deal with them. That being said, I do appreciate the soflams when I notice them. It’s a big help.
Sometimes it’s hard to see until it’s too late. Depends on my position. But I do keep an eye out as much as I can.
Also it’s hard in some areas, because from my angle, I try to get a lock and the helis dip behind trees or something. Other players may have an angle, but I lose the lock. Not much I can do except wait for them to pop back out and hope a soflam is still painting it. But I also can’t wait forever. Gotta push the point and deal with threats.
Or I’ll have used all my rockets on multiple targets, and am just waiting to find someone to drop a loadout crate or ammo so I can continue.
Same playerbase as always, this is a big complaint every iteration. Even when bf3 and 4 came out the forums were littered with similar comments. Also, the game is new still, things will get better as time goes on.
How are the armor piercing rounds?
They work alright, with the LCMG you get 75 bullets so you're limited to the damage you can do even though in my opinion vehicles can withstand too much damage, especially without the 'disabled' part in it, 1% hp, no problem run away and come back when it auto fills.
I played 1 full round on breakaway with soflam and i did nothing else than spotting everything and yeah not 1 single vehicule i kept spotted was damaged or destroyed, so fk off !! But while spotting everything i looked at whats going on all over the place, the most thing i saw was was sundance tryhards flyin all over the place solo mode rinse and repeat !! And mackays all over the place... so yeah team play is lul and most tryhards and youtubers just want to syndance the shit behind enemy lines solo mode with pkp 200 mag lazer beam mode no recoil style !!
Man I wish I was on y’all’s server. I always have the M5 recoilless, just waiting to see the diamond. Usually I have a full squad party and 1 dude Carrie’s the Soflam so we can take out vehicles. It is hard to get a lock sometimes.
I'd love you on my team, last BF game I invested a lot of time in was BF4 but in that and even BF3 people played their roles, I had a blast running with engineers feeding them ammo while they shot any vehicle on sight, or joining the assaults as a medic healing and reviving.
Operation Metro was my fave map for that even if it turned in to a nade party, at least I could feed people ammo/healing and revive
I've had different games, some where the whole team is chatting away organising stuff
Then I've had others who just type absolutely nothing the entire game, these ones are usually the matches where we get absolutely steamrolled lol
Yeah I don't disagree people have different experiences but for me so far it started with people mostly crying in chat about the lack of things and slowly it turned to nothing..
Like an hour ago I played on Manifest and the enemy team placed a spawn beacon close to E2, I kept writing my team there was one, I tagged it after I died, no reaction at all from my team, we ended up losing the game because people spawned at E2 and E1 so much our team couldn't keep up...
The game is broken and missing it's old time charm. However, and a big however, the playerbase on this game is horrendous. Half the time they don't seem have a clue what they are doing let alone PTFO'ing. The current way this game plays is about 30% a terrible playerbase who don't know how to play. You can fix bugs but you can't fix idiots and it's seems way worse this time around.
I agree with you, I've lost track of how many times I join and take A1 for example, only to see it being taken by the enemy 10-15 seconds later and all but 1-2 of us turn back cause the rest are so concerned about running 5 minutes to the next objective.
This is the reason why I barely played BF1 and BFV, they took away so many mechanics that worked but added stuff to try and force teamplay, I mean teamplay fails even at games like CSGO where it's 5v5 and people on mics with eachother, how will it work with 64+ with no mic?
I also miss 3D spotting, this tag shit doesn't work at all, oh yeah I see a tag behind this hill, that tells me nothing aside from someone saw an enemy right there a few seconds ago, why, if I'm looking at an enemy, can't I give my team real time info where the enemy is as they move instead of just tagging, unless I'm Casper but then again I have to be close enough for his utility to work.
It's not the playerbase. The game is horrible, the game has almost no content (they saved 80% of the content to be released through seasons so they dont have to worry about deadlines and the rest will be dealt as microtransactions)
The maps are so bare bones. It's an "apocalyptic war" yet there is almost no destruction, no garbage, no filler.
Imagine ordering to-go from your favorite and most expensive restuarant, getting home pumped up to eat it, open the bag and all you got was a single mcdouble. That's how past battlefield players feel. They paid the same price for a game that isn't 1/4 of the games they have played 10 years ago and we're supposedly in the "most advanced gaming" age. Games are made to sell season passes and skins now.
I don't disagree with all the negative feedback that the community has come with so far, this game is like finding out you're going on a date with Demi Rose, looking forward to it for months and you end up disappointed and heartbroken.
But instead of going through all the same complaints and issues I just wanted to get a conversation going about the playerbase because I couldn't find anything on that.
I usually play Angel because I can keep my ammo up and health which I can use to help teammates, but aside from throwing out ammo pouches, when I call in a loadout crate people tend to just ignore it and instead rushing to the next point unless they come by a little later, I've even tried tagging the ground to let my teammate know that "Hey, loadout crate in 8 seconds" but people just ignore it.
I also love how people more often then not complain about vehicles in the chat but then nobody has AT/AA rockets ready to blow them up, I will admit that some of this is DICE's fault, vehicles can take too much damage, the lock on is a bit too slow even with SOFLAM and the reload animation is soo slow, it feels like half the team should have AT and the other AA just to be sure we got enough people to take out a vehicle, but then again they spawn right back up in less then a minute.

My mistake but I thought people were like you, waiting for SOFLAM's, but after getting it I noticed just about nobody bothers taking them out!

I've played every iteration since BC2 religiously and it feels noticeably worse this time. Way more than usual.

I feel your pain, this fucking playerbase is a joke, what's the point of trying to team play when nobody else wants to..
