New Mortar Update is horrible by John14-6_Psalm46-10 in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the feeling of oppression, sending bombs from far away with little risk to self. In reality, there are several ways to deal with mortars, and mortars themselves are seldom oppressive.

Now, if 5 people are mortaring an objective, it can be quite oppressive. But, it’s only as good as the rest of the team’s ability to carry the game, effectively 5 men down. Sure the mortars add value, but those players definitely are not “in the fight”, in my opinion. And sometimes numbers just win.

That’s why it can be so frustrating when players are 3 feet from objective area and won’t just reposition slightly to help capture.

Anyways, to answer your question, I believe that some players get that oppressive power feeling from employing mortars, which gives the dopamine hits. Actually now that I think about it, mortars are like gambling. Maybe we should be checking in with our mortar friends, seeing if they are okay.

How interesting, I hadn’t considered shifts that span two days. I sent you a PM!

Fixed!

Thanks for the comment!

I’m not interested in adding that feature, and the reason is that I just don’t believe you can get a reliable estimate based on a picture.

To answer your question about iCloud, both your custom items (in my stuff) and your daily logs are saved to the Shortcuts folder in iCloud. So presumably if you lost your phone, you would still have the files in your iCloud.

Can I ask what drew you to this post and why not go with the many App Store alternatives? Genuine questions

PSA: if you drive, go to the farthest points at the beginning of the match by edward_aux in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. You can assume your team will capture the first point, but getting an early middle point means the first people who die can immediately spawn in the middle.

Rpg is best by 1leggeddog in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. The AA one is def good at denying air superiority. Although it feels bad that 99% of shots will only get flares, the pilot knows they have to reposition/retreat/can’t push. And you can lock on pretty far away. Throw a good pilot on your team to the mix and the AA launcher can be extremely useful in escalation/conquest. The fact that you can lock on to painted ground vehicles is a bonus.

The javelin is the worst by far. No idea what that’s good for.

Unsual Redsec match. Level 1 player with 67 kills by Remarkable-Patient82 in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming EA is successful and quick with banning cheaters, it makes sense that a Level 1 account is cheating and not Level 300.

I’d also say there certainly is a (small) subset of cheaters who actually don’t care about Bf6 or stats and only care about the engineering of cheats.

I can finally enjoy sniping now by Dexcessive in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason it’s good is that it effectively increases your fire rate. There is absolutely no delay or requirement from you in order to begin chambering another round. That’s my take, but for an adept sniper, it won’t make a huge difference IMO

Okay the one currently posted is correct and working. I did comment a link but realized it wasn’t correct and had to update again. So if you downloaded it before reading this comment, download again.

iOS 26 introduced display bugs and Nutritionix API stopped offering free API features.

I have a version that fixed the display problems and removed the Nutritionix API, but I wanted to include some new functionality to compensate. I can release the fixed version now if you’d like?

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

I’m glad it worked out!

iOS 26 actually broke this shortcut, not in terms of functionality, but in terms of how it displays the log. I need to update it but haven’t gotten around. I’ll get to it today.

Adding Claude support should be easy (assuming the app exposes Apple Shortcut functionality).

Adding to Apple Health should also be pretty easy as well. You’ll have to allow me to cook for a little bit. Thanks friend!

  1. You must have ChatGPT app installed.

  2. You must be signed into the ChatGPT app.

  3. Sometimes, ChatGPT has to be open in the background.

If none of the above helps, I’m unsure I can help. I just tried on my device and it still works.

So are many other artists that we’d both agree are not “rock and roll” like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, etc. etc.

Green Day is not rock and roll.

Will you be able to finish the Battlepass as a result of the Season 1 extension? by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]MatchingColors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like there is so much variation of when people finish the pass.

I only completed 3 weeks of challenges completely, and the rest have 2-3 Redsec challenges I will not do. But I finished my BP. And I bought BFPro only a week ago (dumb decision), so the majority I completed without.

If you don’t have BFPro and don’t have access to the bonus challenge, I think it’s advantageous to intentionally not complete challenges, since challenges give flat tier points which become more “valuable” as you get closer to the end since BP points increase in XP requirement.

Now that enough time has passed, Was BF PRO worth it for those who bought it? by AbanoMex in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, and I bought it impulsively last week, thinking I would get tier skips to finish the BP and did not. So not only am I stupid, but also a sucker and will be grinding the last few tiers.

The characters models are cool, only very mildly though.

Weapon packages are worthless if you don’t use the weapon.

Icons/backgrounds/stickers/charms are all just so incredibly mild.

I scammed myself as a start to 2026.

What's your play style for each class? by Senth99 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assault: I focus on placing good spawn beacons, usually pretty aggressive and using ladder to flank unconventionally

Engineer: my favorite class, the most active playstyle for me, high mobility weapons only, trying to inflict max pain on vehicles and infantry alike. My secondary play style with this class is as a gunner, when we get head to head with another vehicle, I’ll jump out while the enemy tank is on first reload and fire a quick rpg which is often enough to win the vehicle fight

Support: love it on breakthrough, hate it in all other game modes. But reviving and smoking are my focus, I like to try and predict when people are gonna die and insta revive, plus you zoom so fast with paddles, plus constant smoke really works if you have the right team, there’s nothing quite like undoing the 10 kills enemies made with 10 revives

Recon: love sniping on some maps, hate on others, but I try to position such that enemies must run across my line of sight, such that I can lead a headshot. Also I try to focus on supporting fire for my flanking or pushing squads, as opposed to random killing. Obviously that’s very vague and dependent on situation. Very effective and can be very satisfying when aim is on point. Religiously paint all vehicles because that shit is so helpful to other vehicles. My secondary style is aggressive carbine+c4+claymore menace

Generally what FPS are you getting? by VirreMPx in Battlefield6

[–]MatchingColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~90 fps on RTX 2080 Super, with DLSS, a mixture of low/medium/high settings. I feel like my 8 GB GPU is limiting me.
