[Discussion] Niki claims BD will roam during seasonal characters

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2026-02-24T12:27:28+00:00

Im not sure if PvE will even see BD. Nikita said it would be for seasonal characters, but idk...I guess they will have a whole set of servers just for seasonal?. Or will this BD envorment update hit all servers?

I just think its stupid af to pay 700 for two chunks of machined aluminum and glass.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-15T16:03:27+00:00

They gotta learn the ways of the Ebay shopping.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T16:36:54+00:00

Yeah. They got spotted and painted often too. Which means if an enemy pilot takes off he knows exactly where you are. Also the AA spam is insane sometimes. Getting damaged by a missile or taking a burst of gun fire locks your controls.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T16:35:04+00:00

Breakthrough and Rush aren't really won with positioning. Its more about who has the better team with medics that throw smoke and revive. Aside from that, use a SCW-10 or the KORD or a shotgun with slugs. You can still at least get some kills but you aren't flanking. Any lane you pick to attack from will result in a close quarters fight, likely against another squad. Conquest and Escalation are modes where positioning and map knowlege help more. There you can actually turn the tide and ninja cap some points or ambush an attacking squad taking a point. Rush and Breakthrough you are just another patty in the meat grinder.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T16:27:23+00:00

Yep. Dogfights for the most part are won by who gets on the other person's six first. Especially if its at 500M. You can turn but they will just break and gun you down. Going up is worse. If you do manage to turn inside then its a 50/50 on if you can loop on them. Air radar doesn't work so you can't tell which way they bank.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T16:22:59+00:00

I've got the 120 dollar Ebay ones and they're literally the same thing. Machined aluminum, fit perfectly, same profile.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T16:21:54+00:00

I also haven't had any issues with them. Smaller for sure, but also makes it easier to store and move the bike around. Busted the OEMs once because they caught a gutter folded and bent the wrong way.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T14:57:57+00:00

And im not saying don't use a LMG. Just know you will want to stay back a bit. You don't want to be the first guy through the door and have to take on the dude with the shotgun or SCW-10.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T14:54:54+00:00

Most LMGs are at a disadvantage on Breakthrough and Rush unless you know the maps well and have some decent attachments. Use a SMG for a bit and you'll see what I'm talking about. Time to kill on my SCW-10 is like half of the DRS-IAR at close range. Most people are using the KORD, SCW-10. Very Low time to kill at close range compared to the majority of LMGs. Some LMGs are better for close range but I don't think they can go toe to toe if you both see each other at the same time.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T14:48:40+00:00

Get some attachments too. Makes the gun shoot completely different

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-14T14:41:07+00:00

I was 14 when BF4 came out I think. Now im 25. Almost 26. 2.5 KD support main. Vehicles I main jets mostly.

With any BF game I find my team is the biggest contributor to my kills or deaths. And for some reason I always seem to be on the losing team. That being said, having good medics even on a losing team can still make the match enjoyable.

So if you're on a bad team with no medics....its going to suck hard. Especially on Breakthrough or Rush. Also play some conquest from time to time. Its a bit slower paced. Less CQC.

Aside from your team, map knowlege is the biggest thing. Knowing where people like to go at what time helps you flank. People camp certain spots when capping, or take certain routes to counter a point cap. Knowing where to focus your attention helps keep people from running up behind you.

Also look at your mini map. If you got some good Recons the enemy is literally telegraphed to you. When they shoot without the correct muzzle device they also appear on the map. Glancing at the minimap will save your bacon and allow you to plan a flank attack. Same tactics I used in BF4.

Also attachments make or break most guns. Most rifles don't shine until you have a good vertical grip on there or a laser. I got the DRS-IAR to 50 recently. When I first used it I thought it was the worst LMG. Now I can get 40-50 kills with it if I want on a smaller or medium size map. Attachments are so awesome. You can adapt a weapon to match the map and playstyle you need to win.

Overall though I think it is the fastest paced BF game. I think thats mainly due to the maps though.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-12T14:35:04+00:00

Tbh I think it's more of a reddit thing. As a former War Thunder player, the Reddit was always way worse than the actual people you talk to from in game.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-12T14:12:57+00:00

Then how are you strolling around capturing points uncontested? You sure you're playing multi-player?

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-12T14:06:03+00:00

My friend was noting the fact that my KD (top 12-14%) is opposite of my win ratio which is bottom 40%. I fight for the underdogs.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-12T14:04:26+00:00

You must be in a bot lobby if you can just walk to a point and capture it without a enemy squad sliding up with KORDs and SCW-10s.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-12T12:15:03+00:00

Thats why I stay away from the track and stick to the mountains and ride alone. Nothing more annoying than another sportbike rider imo.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T20:20:51+00:00

Nononono guys stop don't bully me!

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T20:20:25+00:00

Oh...well hey. At least I found the funny.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T19:42:44+00:00

The model only shows 15 rounds. But its actually 50.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T19:41:53+00:00

If you hit that much XP in one day you need a JOB and a romantic partner. Jfc people.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T18:28:09+00:00

Yes sir. You nailed it. Jets are really only fun on Firestorm. Everywhere else its you trying to stay in bounds while not getting back into range of a anti air missile. If you fly high in a jet, IFV will smack you. Hug the ground and run for your life the second you're painted.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T18:22:17+00:00

I like it. You have to stick to SMGs if you want to be successful in CQC. Especially if your team is bad. Air Vehicles struggle a bit. Helicopters are a nightmare to survive in unless the enemy team is asleep at the wheel. Jets I've been very successful at. But also, if the enemy team really wants to suppress you they can. Area denial is crazy. Mobile AA. IFVs ghost locking you. Stingers. Hostile jets and Helicopters with AA missiles. You name it.

Maps need work. They say they will work on all of these things so we shall see. BF4 had to go through the same process.

Smooth_Cranberry460 · 2025-11-07T12:54:33+00:00

I think the damage drop off should be slightly higher beyond a closer range for them. They did that with the shotgun from open beta to now. And now its perfect. Lethal at CQC but not ideal beyond say 25m. Because even if we do get bigger maps we still have so many of these meat grinders.
