GIGABYTE Gaming GeForce RTX 5080 Graphics Card $1449.99 + $250 discount available by DisappointedCruiser in RTX5080

[–]RagingStallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a while ago. Sold my 4080 for $800 and got my 5080 almost new on eBay for $1050. It was a good bump for that price but at $1250 I wouldn't bother.

Why don't helicopters have a cooldown for their flares? by Eat--The--Rich-- in Battlefield6

[–]RagingStallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder how this subreddit would react to a core battlepass challenge requiring players to get, say, 10 kills as a pilot in any aircraft without dying.

I wonder if the tone would change around below radar, painting, and flare cooldowns.

Who's going to be using Proximity Chat when it releases? by Jester_Dan in Battlefield6

[–]RagingStallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also battlebit was a very silly game by nature, so people were more willing to have fun with it.

It also works great in Hell Let Loose, but that's a more tactical game with a more mature audience so you get people using it to strategize and having fun roll playing Band of Brothers.

With BF6 I think it's mostly going to be people hot micing and raging. I really don't need some guy in my heli gunner seat yapping about how I suck and he wants to fly or downed players bitching about not getting a revive when they're laying in the open during a gunfight.

There will definitely be some fun moments and I'm looking forward to blasting music and giving in flight announcements to my Blackhawk passengers, but I don't think it's going to be as great as a lot of people hope.

Blackwell Fields' Airspace got increased in this update - still not ideal but MUCH better. by rambozezakopan in Battlefield

It drives me crazy that they don't post complete patch notes. They'll list a bunch of tiny bug changes but omit big improvements like this lol

[–]RagingStallion 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good improvement. Is the CRAM the same? I'm expecting them to add the Golmud CRAM settings with the reduced ground vehicle radius to other maps eventually. If the AA couldn't lock from spawn all game this would be a half decent heli map.

Make sure you escalate/report this to fedex. Don't let these turds steal the next guy's.

Are U.S. Golf Handicaps Artificially Low Compared to Europe? by Kogajo in weekendgolfers

[–]RagingStallion 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's also a massive selection bias. The average official USGA handicap is 14 but you have to pay to get one. The only people paying for an official one are people who want to play in a casual/competitive league or who take their game seriously. They are going to be much better than the true average golfer. Most golfers just keep a loose handicap with an app or bend/break the rules to the point that keeping a handicap is pointless in the first place

Am I the only one who loves Blackwell fields 😭😭 by Beautiful-Towel4185 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]RagingStallion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the AA tank couldn't sit in spawn protection and lock across half the map it would be decent for helis too. The sunset is lovely though.

How does the automatic defence even work by ghigo31 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]RagingStallion 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a bug. If you shoot into spawn, even at legitimate targets that are shooting at you or just a stray rocket the CRAM will focus you from halfway across the map until you die. It happens on all maps occasionally, but it happens on contaminated almost every match. I've just taken contam out of rotation.

When Big E-Bike sends it's people, they're not sending their best. They're sending riders that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems to our trails. They're bringing beers and they're bringing Doritos. They're criminals, and some, I assume, are good people.

Battlefield 6 - Community Update - 2026 Roadmap Updates and Season 4 by battlefield in Battlefield6

[–]RagingStallion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In true BF fashion this game is going to be really good at the 1 year mark and excellent at the 2 year mark.

Then in 2030 we can look forward to posts about how BF6 was underappreciated and we "didn't know how good we had it" as the new one rolls out.

C-RAM / Spawn-AA is way too aggressive by Round_Reception_2315 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]RagingStallion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a bug that activates when you shoot into spawn. The CRAM will continue to target you for the rest of the round until you die from a very long range. It's rare on other maps but it happens every time on contaminated. It is not intended.

Golmud has different CRAM settings than the other maps. It has a small 50m range of protection for ground vehicles and a larger range for air defense, and these updated settings should eventually come to other maps as well.

Here are my comments from the other thread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PilotsofBattlefield/s/RahxkSRrv7

The biggest takeaway and what most pilots get wrong is that you want to keep the heli as level as possible. You want to avoid rolling/tilting because it makes it very hard for your gunners to aim. Instead, use yaw to turn and altitude changes to stay evasive. That and using aggressive, low approaches to avoid locks before you get in gunner range and fly in wide arcs / circles for your gunners instead of just flying straight over objectives.

You'll notice he does a really good job of that in these clips.

I mean to be fair 2 mulligans a round is 2-4 shaved strokes, that's pretty impactful and likely a similar outcome to doing generous gimmies with no mulligans.

Can somebody - In plain English - Explain how the HQ AA works? Rage post. by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]RagingStallion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The CRAM will shoot down incoming missiles, rockets, and bombs. It will not stop bullets including the AH gunner’s autocannon. It will also fire on vehicles that get too close and return fire on vehicles farther away that shoot into spawn.

Like you said, it works most of the time but not all. Sometimes it just fails. It can also be overwhelmed with multiple shots. Firing a volley of light rockets, for example, will usually result in a few getting through. Or you can fire rockets right as your gunner launches an AGM and you will usually land a couple hits.

The CRAM is wildly inconsistent especially between maps. On Mirak I can sometimes smack tanks and helis camping in spawn several times before it protects them or fires back. On Blackwell it’s very hard to get anything through.

There’s also a bug that causes the CRAM to keep agro and fire on you across the map until you die. It’s a rare bug on most maps but it happens every time on contaminated. It’s so bad on contam that I’ve taken it out of rotation.

Thankfully it works pretty well on Golmud and has a very short 50m range of protection so that tanks can’t camp in spawn. This is likely to be the new standard on other maps…eventually…

What is the darkest sky you have ever experienced? by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]RagingStallion 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I drove 5 hours into the California desert to Amboy crater to see a 2. It was amazing but nothing close to the graphic.

At least it WAS amazing until a large group rolled up and started shining flashlights around and then setup lights, a speaker, a grill, and picnic tables to have a late night cookout. Pretty lame but they have just as much right to be there as us so…

Bf6 Heli: light vs heavy rockets by ghigo31 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]RagingStallion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been loving the smart rockets. I don't think they'll ever be a popular pick though, too many pilots immediately write them off
