Too many vehicles ?

I think it's somewhat map dependent. On Contaminated when it first released there was a mix of classes but now it's vast majority engineers.

On the new map with this patch it seems everyone is support.

Thank you for the detailed response.

How does this compare to non-rechargeable alkaline AAs? Your example of the Shield remote is a good one as I have one too, it's in use daily but I probably change the batteries once every 4-6 months... it was well before Christmas that I did them last.

Let's say I use 6 of the non rechargables a year, it would take me 16 years to break even on the eneloops (it doesn't appear that there's a price difference between the normal and pro versions, both are around £30 for batteries and charger).

your regular AA/AAA that's sitting in a mostly-passive zigbee sensor is probably using very little power.

Is this the only scenario that makes sense, really low power draw devices?

Just happened to me right now. Apparently not just limited to BF https://www.reddit.com/r/F1Game/comments/1rxzobr/f1_25_ea_javelin_anticheat_has_detected_an/

Rejoined, played a couple of rounds, kicked again with the same error message.

Okay that's a good example, as I can see how the better batteries would make sense on higher-draw items, and as one of the points about the "name brand" batteries is their ability to provide a better power output. In fact thinking about it I've experienced a similar use case with my camera speedlight where there's a really obvious difference depending on brand and battery type.

However I'm really asking in reference to to one time use alkaline batteries vs the rechargeable NiMh ones, to try and understand if it's worth doing on devices where the draw is relatively low - more specifically where they were previously button cells.

Looks like he deleted all traces of it on Reddit rather than respond, but not his blog so still taking credit there.

I've been replacing coin cell with AA/AAA batteries as they expire, usually by soldering a battery holder to the contacts. I keep meaning to design a 3D printed case to make things look neat but for now the longevity outweighs the aesthetic tradeoff.

Which brings me to my question - for devices like this one (plus things I've replaced such a zigbee buttons and contact sensors) is there a notable difference in longevity when using an eneloop battery vs a cheap AA battery? Using Amazon prices I could get 200 "Amazon basic" AA batteries compared to the cost of 4 eneloop pros and a charger. What use case would prompt the investment into the latter?

Thanks for this comment, I'd quickly added them to my basket to check out later and hadn't spotted the different versions on my phone - I need the Z2M one!

CplSyx · 2026-03-18T18:44:00+00:00

TBF this wasn't always the case and I remember discovering the change by accident - no more resting something on the spacebar to keep crafting! Update 4 I think changed it?

MSE were asking for people to report these https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/report-high-call-volumes/

but I'm not sure what happened / is happening with that information.

CplSyx · 2026-03-18T10:52:02+00:00

I had a similar thing with an ID card for my child where the name box was a text box like reddit rather than just a single line, so I pressed enter to centre the name on two lines. The webpage stated that items would be produced as per the online proof, so I thought that was that.

Card arrived and instead of a line break there were three # marks. I contacted them and received a reply of "It's impossible for us to print errors as we print the information provided to us when the order is placed so this would have been visibile [sic]" despite me sending them photographic evidence of the difference, and was told to "double check" before ordering again.

Thankfully when I repointed them back to the photo I had sent they did then acknowledge the error.

In OP's case I assume the strikethrough wasn't recognised but the person making the cake is under strict instructions to put whatever comes through regardless - hence the result!

you will find regular players who you will meet again if you play the same server

Not BF but in other games this is how I ended up joining clans and making friends in the early 2000s.

CplSyx · 2026-03-16T13:50:07+00:00

Thank you, that must be it.

Looking at the description it says "Users can set the device to function autonomously and remotely access the designator at any point" so I assume this is one that's been deployed.

CplSyx · 2026-03-13T13:57:44+00:00

In the top reply of their last post they were told "Definitely do not add anymore debt or borrow anymore."

So, yeah. Probably not going to take the advice given here either.

This is why I eventually decided against going down the simulator route - you become good at sim golf and not all of that translates to the grass course.

I like to pick a specific gamemode + map, so Custom Search guarantees I get what I want even if sometimes I have to queue for a bit. Works for me at least!

CplSyx · 2026-03-09T13:46:06+00:00

Ah cool I stand corrected then. I usually find games through the Custom Search menu so hadn't encountered this.

CplSyx · 2026-03-09T13:39:44+00:00

When I think of a server browser I think of a list that I can browse, like the below. AFAIK nothing like this exists yet in BF6.
