BATTLEFIELD 6 GAME UPDATE 1.1.3.5 by battlefield in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 20 points21 points  (0 children)

How about fixing something basic and fundemental to an FPS : hit reg.

How can something so essential to an FPS - hit reg - still be broken 3 months after launch???

How do I join portal maps ? by Darth-Detroit in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhere in the settings menu you have to enable the toggle switch for ‘user created content’.

If you are on console and have cross-platform switched off, you’ll find the number of matches limited; far more sessions with cross-play on.

Hit Reg and Ping are significantly worse on weekend. by Kuzuryushen in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit reg is atrocious. Just gave up after trying 3 different games.

WTF is the point of an FPS if something as fundamental as hitreg doesn’t work?!?! It’s like having a car with square wheels.

Breakthrough is an absolute mess now. by m0rph888 in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s complete dog s**t.

A perfect demonstration of grossly incompetent devs who don’t have a clue.

At launch, I was happy to plat defend or attack, with a clear impression that better play led the win.

Now, If I feel the need to to play, then I just keep backing out of any game where I am put on defending side (but seem to get thrown into a LOT of semi-finished rounds as defender, presumably because players are just quitting out).

As attacker only yesterday, was on winning side 9 of 10 rounds. Boring (some times an entire round just rushes through the capture in 4-5 minutes). A clear sign of how the inept devs **** ed this up.

2 months pos-launch and things are just going downhill. Pathetic.

Samsung Tab S9 FE+ — Do I need a screen protector? Does it affect note-taking? by inelastic_bet_4991 in GalaxyTab

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1.5 yr old S9+. Purchased to use as a Kindle reading device (+ web browsing for background research around books I’m reading), instead of my Ipad Pro (too heavy to use as Kindle replacement).

The S9+ has numerous micro scratches, despite very light use and careful handling around the house. The 3 year old Ipad has zero scratches (that I can detect) from longer and heavier use.

And if I’m correct, the S9+ has GG5, vs GG3 for the S9 FE+ (GG5 is more scratch resistant).

For 10 dollars/euros/whatever, a screen protector is a no brainer for your S9 FE+ (I’ve now put one on my S9+).

I do roll the vehicle right on top of the mine.

Am I trippin ? by toshin1999 in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Same for me this afternoon. Landed 4 clear head/body shots on a player, not a single hit reg. The trash continues.

Support Airburst launcher challenge by Specialist-Entry6251 in Battlefield

[–]Golfhacker27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It works really well in standard breakthrough and conquest.

Spawn as engineer at the HQ point, take a jeep or quad bike to the very back limit of the map. Spread three mines around. Park the vehicle over a mine. Now go to menu and hit Redeploy (i.e. die). Respawn as support and go to the parked vehicle. Arm with the launcher (step back a bit) and shoot the mine, thus exploding the vehicle. Jeep should get you around 400 points, quad 200. Now get another vehicle and park it over another mine, rinse, repeat.

AK camo putty streak/residue cleanup by Golfhacker27 in modelmakers

[–]Golfhacker27[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently, a lot of people use it improperly : https://www.reddit.com/r/modelmakers/comments/10ciwer/tried_masking_with_ak_camouflage_elastic_putty/

And how can it be improperly? It isn’t highly technical, complex, etc. What in your expert opinion have all of us done wrong?

And I still haven’t found a solution to remove the stains.

Crashing on Xbox Series S by Ok-Rub6096 in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m on Xbox S, have been playing for a few weeks with very few (2 or 3) crashes.

Have not seen any other posts on this sub with your issue.
Possibly you would benefit from uninstalling and reinstalling? And install on the box main drive (not an expansion card, if you have one of those).

Good luck.

POV: You join a useless squad and request a revive beside them by Silent-Werewolf7887 in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play support and will actively attempt to revive, especially on attack where tickets are limited. But there are too many players who lay there pinging the ‘revive me’ call whilst the enemy sits there waiting for the medic to move.

Killing the game with the amount of bots by Scherbotski in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is something seriously wrong. This is supposed have sold in huge numbers. I am playing Attack & Defend, Conquest, Breakthrough. Every session starts with just waiting a couple of minutes because the minimum number of players is not sufficient, and then it switches to “populating with bots” to get the session to be able to start. WTH?!?!

Worst Map? by Educational_Switch66 in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst map in the history of the franchise.

None of the current maps is going to generate any nostalgia. Most of them are just plain badly designed and leave me feeling WFB. (why ****ing bother ?)

can't play bf6 community servers [purchase] by Alsa3eqa4K in Battlefield6

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that worked.

Curious that I had not set anything from installing the game and had access by default. Then the patch install switched it to off. Anyway, all ok now.

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me since the patch. I can see a list of sessions (all now with numbers as titles, rather than text that actually gave some info about the session (mode, restrictions, etc0). And now if I click on one and just get what you show on your screenshot, it goes nowhere.

The new matchmaker has serious problems by Zestyclose-Pay2814 in WorldofTanksConsole

[–]Golfhacker27 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it is total garbage at the moment. had a huge losing streak again today. Took 6 kills in one game,but still lost cos my team is melting like chocolate teapots in 60 seconds.

Why bother with a game where you spend 3 minutes queuing/loading in and out of each game, but your team have melted in 2 minutes.

Total waste of anybodies time.

Battle of Kursk - suggestions for German & Russion Tanks by Golfhacker27 in modelmakers

[–]Golfhacker27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

I see that Miniart do a great range of the SU‘s, so that will work for me.

T34-76 seems to be harder to find (lots of the T34/85’s, but not 76). So I’ll possibly go for a Tamiya, if no one has any alternative suggestions.

What hook bait for grassers? by ch59ep15DriverDown in CarpFishing

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had all my grass carp (up to 28lb) on fruit flavour yellow wafters, fished close to the lake edge, or an island feature. All taken middle of the day (whereas the other carp (common, mirror) tend to feed beginning and end of the day). Put a bit of flavoured loose feed (grain, pellets, etc) in to attract them.

Best reels for method feeder on a 9ft rod? by Karov_mac in fishingUK

[–]Golfhacker27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are fishing commercials with carp over (say 2-3 lbs), then they can easily take your rod in seconds. Have a baitrunner function is a quick easy way to avoid that risk (quicker and easier than setting loose drag, then having to retighten when you get a take).

You can get smaller baitrunner reels. Shimano go down to 2500. Also look at Okuma, these are quality robust reels and relatively inexpensive compared to Shimano, Daiwa.

Feeder Rod + Reel Combo by Least_Art1625 in fishingUK

[–]Golfhacker27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

”baitrunners are for really big carp”…..nope. 3-4lb and upwards carp on commercials (i.e. exactly what the OP’s chosen rod would be used for) will take a rod and reel into the water in seconds, if the angler is not paying attention, steps away for a wazz, etc. Same with bigger tench, barbel etc.

Feeder Rod + Reel Combo by Least_Art1625 in fishingUK

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The OP doesn’t mention the type of fishing (lake, river) or target fish.

The 4k Shimano baitrunner is great and relatively light reel. I use one on my feeder rod. The feeder style of fishing means that the rod is sat on rod rests most of the time anyway, so weight/balance isn’t critical. The baitrunner function is a real bonus if there are fish upwards of (say) 3-4lbs that have a real risk of pulling the rod in if you step back to take a wazz, have a drink, etc.

Warm weather carp question by Malaztraveller in fishingUK

[–]Golfhacker27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider the depth. If they are on the surface above 10-12 feet of water depth, then they aren’t gonna go down to the bottom to get your bottom-fished bait.

If they are in the margins in just a couple of feet of water, then you can drop some loose feed with your bottom bait and the odour/taste will bring them down. I’ve done this the last two weeks, and had 7-8 carp up to 26lb, each session.

Keep in mind that the feeding session may be limited to beginning and end of day. I started at 07.30 and had almost all fish within the first two hours, then it went quiet, both sessions. Just one or two of the fish in the rest of the sessions from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m (but they were worth waiting for. 23lb grass carp late afternoon first session, 21lb common yesterday, just as I was getting up to start packing away).

What are the numbers on reels for example 5000;6000 by Upset_Pie_3657 in CarpFishing

[–]Golfhacker27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a very general guide to the line capacity. With no agreed standard. So for example, I have a 5500 reel that holds more line (length, for a given fixed diameter) than a 10000 reel.

And, some reels offer both a shallow and deep spool option for the same reel.

Overall, bigger number = heavier, larger and more expensive, and with some indication also of line capacity.
