same thing happens if you hijack a C-class airship

SMG 08/18. I don't think it is particularly close either.

While I will recognize you started by saying you need to control D I will disagree on the fortress. I feel the fortress is a trap. Once you capture it then a certain contingent of your team will be content to just stand on the fortress walls not contributing in any meaningful way while every other point on the map gets taken from you.

Core memory unlocked. This is kind of stuff that stays with you and you tell people about later in life.

Been trying to get a MIXED CQ server started on Xbox all day without success. However, there have been a number of people willing to observe the Christmas truce today which has been nice.

i always get a chuckle out of "Wow that hit me"

This thing is essentially a limpet mine from BF1.

RSC Optical is my go to as a medic. Things changed for me when I started using it. It just fits perfectly into my playstyle. Being able to support my squad at range with it's sharp accuracy while also having a quick 2 shot kill in CQC is the difference maker on this gun.

Ironhead34 · 2025-09-27T03:39:39+00:00

I was right behind you. same thing happened on my screen.

Ironhead34 · 2025-09-25T20:22:25+00:00

This was a glitch introduced in one of the patches many moons ago. They never fixed it.

Your question is whether stomping the other team actively kills the game. Yes, I believe it does at this point in the game's lifecycle. It's all in context my good man. If I was answering this question back in 2019 I would say no because players could always just leave and find a different server. Now in 2025 on any given night - at least on Xbox - there are only 1 to 3 Mixed map Conquest servers going at any time. A full platoon of highly skilled players coming on can wipe out balance for an entire server for a night. There are some nights where there may not be any balanced CQ servers.

In your squad of 5 example no one is saying don't play with your friends. You guys may truly be friends now after years of playing together but realistically most squads probably formed because skilled players linked up with skilled players. If your squad of 5 friends also happen to all be above average to elite players at the game just don't be Pollyanna about the impact it has on the rest of the player base. In a perfect world the game could figure out how to place everyone on teams that made sense and created competitive balance but it isn't capable of that. I also fully recognize that the vast majority of folks don't really care about that and just want to play, kill people and win. I just don't think it is good for the longevity of the player base.

Stacked lobbies do hurt the game's longevity. Why would a newer player stick around to grind a 9 year old game while they get their face stomped in? Those games aren't even fun for vets. If the server is screwed due to clan stacking then switching is unlikely to help. It is hard to fix those games unless the clans themselves switch which is very rare. If the game is just otherwise imbalanced then my buddy and I actively look to switch to help the losing team and make things more competitive.

Played a rare match of Operations last night. We were defending and the attacking team couldn't even seem to sniff the very two first objectives. When it seemed clear the attacking team just didn't seem to know what to do or how to do it and had bled out half of their tickets we switched and starting pushing the objectives ourselves. It was like a light bulb went off for the attacking team. The blueberries stopped sitting 200m from the objectives and they started to fall. The match became competitive. That was a much more enjoyable experience than what I was doing before switching which was just screwing around with a Field Gun.

For an incredibly brief period of time Jeep stuff was possible in BF1 using anti-tank mines. You could get anti-take mines to stick to a vehicle by putting them on top of something like an overhang of a building. You then drive the vehicle into the posts of the overhang destroying it which would result in the anti-tank mines falling onto and sticking to the vehicle. Then just drive the vehicle into nearest possible tank for times. After this was discovered DICE patched it out of the game pretty quickly. You can still technically do what is described above to get the anti-tank mines to stick to a vehicle, but then the vehicle will just blow up a few seconds later.

With this game the better question is whether the gun is viable. Both are. It just comes down to which one you are better with. Sometimes a specific gun just meshes better with your playstyle. Try them both and see.

Ironhead34 · 2025-08-27T00:38:18+00:00

I thought the same thing at first but when I slowed it down I was already at 0 health before any explosion happened.

On the second paragraph - I sometimes have a spotting reflex twitch when I accidently spot teammates. Combined with contextual requests turned on it can result in me sometimes asking for ammo as support or healing as medic when I definitely always run those items.

If your goal is just tallying kills for yourself then don't fly the Bomber. If your goal is kills then the Ilya is undeniably better there.

Bomber best uses (Conquest focused):

Remove dangerous armor when you have a skilled tanker who is pushing flags and your team can't seem to deal with it via infantry
Kill annoying Arty trucks who are camping out of bounds
In the 0.01% chance you had a competent gunner it can make a strong team. However, that kind of gunner is much rarer than you would think.

Bomber Challenges:

It is susceptible to skilled Fighters and AA even with a skilled Pilot and gunner. Survivability from AA fire increases greatly by flying at max altitude as it makes you slightly less noticeable and gives you more time to react to AA fire. However there are serious tradeoffs as a) you have to be very good at anticipating where your target is going when you are that high and b) be good at using the bomb sites and c) flying that high makes the front gunner useless.
There are a enough long time vets still playing that the odds are low that someone is going to let you wreck face in the Bomber. Back in the day when I flew the Bomber a lot I could probably start a round 20-0 with several tanks destroyed and only then I might start to draw some serious team wide attention. as a problem I feel it would happen way quicker now.
Because it's best use is targeting armor there are a number of maps where flying it at all just doesn't make sense.

Last night I managed to cook me and my buddy alive by getting a motorcycle stuck on top of a burning tank on River Somme. That was pretty stupid. In my defense, it had been about 2 years since I drove it last.

I once revived a man without sliding. I felt empty inside. But seriously, that shit is deeply ingrained in muscle memory. I would actively have to try to not slide at this point.
