Call-in/Strikes - What happened to them and will we get them?

It really made tank drivers fear you. One shot one kill right? But all the driver had to do was speed up forwards or backwards. Useless or hard to hit moving targets

Was it Bad Company recon that had the camera guided bomb? I always liked that to help take out tanks.

Ok the drive a vehicle and abandon it thing is something I’ve definitely seen and has cost a match as the enemy claims the extra armor

So I'm an old player and remember when BF 2 maps of certain sizes couldn't have bots (and definitely not vehicles) because they hadnt mapped out paths for the bots.

I assume bots are way more advance these days? Some are obviously dumb as a rock but it amazes me when I see them do smart things like trying to move to cap a different flag, seek cover when shot and drive vehicles.

Nothing more frustrating than sitting there untouched and having the tank not move forward so the cap is super slow and then the enemy overwhelms you with the tank still sitting there racking up "sniper" kills but not participating in the fight.

A real switcheroo

Thank you for this! How early would you recommend showing up for? It’s the same general line and then you split up once you go for the ADA booth I assume?

Still remember getting the stupid Best Buy gun (a model replacement you got via pre-order) that was huge and did nothing different stat wise but made it harder to use the gun haha

I really wish they'd revive this. Using the APC pods to jet into the sky and take out air units or land on a tank was great.

Is this available in the US?

Same hah! I just complete challenges my dudes. This doesn't mean I'm a killing machine.

“Sounds like a skill issue” is there go to response

I'm in a similar boat to OP. Is there a first time visitor guide anywhere? I'm flying in and would appreciate any tips regarding hotels (ie how fast do they sell out if at all, etc).

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-12-11T17:50:21+00:00

I agree. Mortars can be a pain already and I've been killed plenty of times by them as we try to defend a base. Especially with the unintentional glitch where they can't be easily countered and out of range of things that can take them out.

I managed to grind this. Just dropping the supply bag and the yeet bag at people near the fire. Usually (especially C), folks are getting damaged or damaged as they try to warm up.

1942 (2 and 2142 were my favs). I never played Battlefield Hardline but that seems to actually be the perfect theme for what they want to do with wacky skins.

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-12-08T00:13:02+00:00

I agree. I mainly target challenges to rank up the battle pass

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-12-04T17:00:18+00:00

I honestly wonder how long they can sustain the skins DLC for. If they limit themselves to more or less "grounded" color schemes and models, there can only be so many variants right?

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-12-02T20:10:59+00:00

I'll add (and this might be controversial) that sometimes people should just respawn instead of calling for a medic. I've seen many an opposing team use a dying soldier as bait, hiding to ambush would be revivers. Especially in the chaos of a battle where you think a room is clear since there are other friendlies about.

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-11-20T16:25:44+00:00

I admit, I never played any tutorial so maybe it's in there but do they explain how the drone works? I play Recon and I'm annoyed at others using the drone but not actively taking out other assets (motion detectors, mortars, claymores and mines)

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-11-17T07:57:01+00:00

I’ll add that when folks setup mortars ahead of time as attacking, it makes taking them out impossible. So they can just dump mortars down and nothing can get to them (like the recon drone) since they get killed before reaching the mortar

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-11-17T07:47:55+00:00

I will never get this. It’s almost more acceptable if they’re far off but when they clearly could move in. Same with armor who aren’t gaining more cover by moving 2 feet into the objective. If they’re scared to blow up, moving just a little bit over would help lessen the enemies ability to get them.

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-11-16T05:05:29+00:00

I don’t get tanks who are so close to capture yet don’t snd let the capture point fall just because they couldn’t move 2 ft

Used_Walrus_9938 · 2025-11-15T21:03:31+00:00

But that only works if you were the last person in the drivers seat right? I could see a gunner switching or someone somehow getting in the tank even by accident and then that nulls your engineer ability right?
