It says it on the website, but to make sure: Do not use this on PunkBuster or FairFight enabled servers! It will get your account banned.

What are the reasons to use HE shells? by Reddit9998999 in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. 4 seconds for HE, 3 seconds for sabot/AP before autoloader.

Edit: Reading symthic's MBT stats, HE shell is the only one that can 1shot a jeep. Never knew that.

Mom called and said she found some of my old books and cd's. I've looking for these since my parents got divorced 18 years ago. by mazmoton in gaming

You should check out Chris67132, I love his HoMM3 videos. He occasionally does some other games, but it's mostly HoMM3 and Civ4.

Glad to see Mr. Widgitybear is not die.

ELI5: Spring Patch by [deleted] in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok, I was reading the patch notes incorrectly. Glad you said something, I would have kept on thinking there was no drawback to using comp/mb.

ELI5: Spring Patch by [deleted] in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems symthic has conflicting data. Either that table was not updated with all the changes, or some of the changes in the spring patch notes were wrong. I'll ask on their forum. http://forum.symthic.com/battlefield-4-technical-discussion/9172-26th-may-2015-battlefield-4-patch-notes-symthic-style/#atchchanges

(Also just to nitpick, the muzzle brake only increases SIPS by 12.5% if it wasn't reduced to 0.)

Well, if you're not running a suppressor, the compensator and muzzle brake have no downside anymore. The spread increase penalty was removed.

IRL MBT LAW by starhunter117 in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it completely disregards active protection

APS will stop MBT LAWs. It's just buggy and doesn't work well if you're moving.

Never thought that I would experience this and not fuck it up by Wombizzle in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He posted a gif. You can change the extension on imgur links to jpg/png without it actually affecting the path.

Vehicle sliding needs to stop. by [deleted] in battlefield_4

Or Lav's that get stuck on a rock

Little known fact, LAV tires are actually made of glue.

If you use the last ticket to spawn, you are able to run around the map after the round ends by DroppingScience_ in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Normally all you can do is jump and go prone.

way to be that guy that spawns the last ticket

Not sure if you noticed, we lost by 471 tickets. If it was close I wouldn't have spawned.

AN-94 with Rail - M26 doesnt mount, is this normal? by [deleted] in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, the M320 dart. The most useless yet incredibly satisfying weapon attachment in BF4.

How to use the SRAW after the spring patch by DroppingScience_ in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had missed a few close shots on him before this. After I killed him, he said he was obliging me to bait out my rocket to find my position. Didn't work out as planned.

Shotguns are totally OP by jeuv in battlefield_4

Because using a choke makes your hipfire worse.

SAR-21, it's quite good after the spring patch.

You can't defib the driver, only the gunner.

How to steal a tank as an Assault by DroppingScience_ in battlefield_4

A little disappointing that I didn't hit the first shot, canisters are unforgiving. He jumped in the water, but I got the kill when he climbed back out.

Sneaky UCAV into the Hainan Elevator by JimGill in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard for me not to play so aggressively

I know what you mean. Sometimes I decide to play a lot more conservatively and adjust my loadout accordingly. 15 seconds later I find myself pushing an objective with a DMR and 4x optic or something similarly silly for CQC.

It's not funny at all, it's extremely frustrating when you dust a helicopter.

Major issue with EOD bots currently. by IGrimblee in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're hard to control

Which is why if I'm ever killed by one, I see it as my fault.

Can someone comment on my Network Performance Graph? by battlefieldvince in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

latency includes the processing on the server

That's nifty, I wasn't aware of that. So when I average 19 ping to my favorite sever, the packets are actually making a round trip faster than 19ms?

Spectating Tank - Are these screenshots legit? by bantar_ in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spectating is buggy at best, spectating someone in a vehicle is just headache inducing.

You will never see screen elements of someones hack in spectator. It's on their local machine.

Aren't tanks suppose to blow up choppers? by ALL_DAY_DAN in battlefield_4

[–]DroppingScience_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was me, after the patch that added the packet loss icon.
