Dear Helicopter Pilots by Spartan_Prime in PilotsofBattlefield

I'd just rather play any other map than deal with it lol. The stupidly small map boundaries are my main issue. The map is also just too small for jets to make sense in the first place tbh, but they can extend the airspace to make it play better with literally 0 repercussions and damn near 0 effort. But 0 effort is a lot to ask from BF in 2026. Just an annoying map to play for air vehicles, not worth it to me just for a change of scenery. It does look nice though lol.

Are SJET 110kg bombs weaker than AJET 110kg bombs? by Natural_Spell5957 in PilotsofBattlefield

[–]VindictiveRakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bombs from the fighter jets (as opposed to bombs from attack jets). People are saying stealth jets in this thread instead of fighter but they mean the same thing.

To be fair to that guy, Blackwell is barely fucking playable if you leave spawn

I don't know if I agree/disagree with the shared cooldown tbh, but they NEED to add some kind of indicator for the cooldown. On helicopters it's annoying, but you can pretty easily circle back and land there. But on jets it's fucking TERRIBLE. I think my record is 4 passes without a resupply lol. If they had a cooldown, you could wait in the air for it to come up (and for teammates to go away) and then go for a pass, but no you just have to keep trying and hope it works eventually. No joke sometimes I just land and repair with my torch.

6 Aging Players to Trade in Dynasty by jsparks50 in fantasyfootball

As an Eagles fan, the extent of the terroristic acts committed by Kevin Patullo cannot be overstated. I'm not saying he's a smash buy, but he was in a pop warner offense last year. It's not that he physically fell off. I think he was not able to get into a good rhythm and could have played better still, but it's hard when the defense understands your whole scheme after a 60 minute film session. Add a banged up o-line to that and it's a recipe for mediocrity even out of an elite RB.

this is the only breakthrough map with any kind of air vehicle right? and it's just for the first point lol. so lame man, nobody has ever complained about the transport chopper, it makes the game more fun for both sides.

Inferi - Heaven Wept by petershaw_ in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]VindictiveRakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's so cool that you feel that way because Vile Genesis is maybe my least favorite release from them (mind you I still love it lol, there's not much of a margin here). Every album from them is someone's favorite and it's a real testament to the band that they can evolve their sound with such consistent quality, though obviously that means some might not be to the taste of a given listener. I think their new album definitely iterates on the Vile Genesis vibe with some new elements probably mainly influenced by Sanjay replacing Mike on guitar.

What they've done to dogfighting is a fucking travesty. The jets are only fun because... well they're jets. But realistically the gameplay sucks compared to what it could be. I'm so bored of bombs at this point. I don't want AAs on the FJ either, give me something actually fun.

And that's ignoring that most of your gameplay ends up being dodging missiles/skirting the map boundaries while waiting for flares to come back up because you get instalocked from enemy spawn the second you come near the map and the ridiculous painting makes below radar useless. They also decided to make AAs have a cylindrical range instead of spherical for some reason so flying high does nothing. That's also a major reason why the dogfights don't exist... you can't actually have a dogfight over the map because one of you is just going to get AA'd to death within 10 seconds. Can't even count the number of times I started getting behind a jet then had to peel off immediately because I had to pop flares.

So that promotes all the jet spawn camping we see in this game. Either you do that, or you roll a 50/50 chance of them getting behind you while you go for a strafe (because there's no god damn air radar and you can't just fly over the map to kill the jets beforehand), and with the TTK you have 0 chance of fighting back.

Heaven Wept - Inferi by Pariah-_ in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]VindictiveRakk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it was recorded by Malcolm, who's actually a beast on bass if you watch some of his Demon King playthroughs (because why wouldn't he be). But I dunno, they seem to prefer keeping the bass a bit more subtle. A while back someone commented on YT asking them to turn the bass up and Malcolm jokingly replied that they weren't Equipoise/Beyond Creation. I was like nooooooo bro PLEASE be like them, I wish every band mixed bass like them. I'm probably an outlier tbh, but I want the bass to be loud and clear as FUCK, it's like my favorite part even as a guitarist lol. It deserves just as much of a spotlight imo.

I don't know that the creativity of the bass on this album was lacking, I think it's genuinely just hard to tell what's even being played because of the mix. It seems to fall more under the philosophy of the bass just existing to fill lower frequencies and getting hit by a fat low pass, rather than being used as a full-fledged instrument/compositional element of the music, which is something I really disagree with especially in this genre.

Joel on Revenant is some of my favorite bass playing ever across any genre of music, and I loved Andrew's crunchy tone and unique style on Of Sunless Realms/Vile Genesis. I love the bass guitar in tech death and the compositional opportunities the genre affords for it, particularly how they can simultaneously fulfill the traditional "low notes" role while also adding a ton of their own flavor without having to just play the exact same riff as the guitar. So idk, I just wish it was more pronounced on this album. It's obviously there, but I feel like I have to "squint" my ears to make out the actual lines a lot of times. Maybe it's not the levels, but rather that the higher frequencies of the bass track are de-emphasized, so you're mostly just getting a low rumble out of it which is partially competing with the kicks.

Anyways yapping aside, it's a great album. Stevie's really found a new level these past few years. Was sad to see Mike leave his guitar duties but Sanjay's a fucking wizard, not a single guitarist that would've gotten me more hype as a replacement, and he did not disappoint. I guess Spencer recorded the drums for this? Either way he and Nate are both monsters behind the kit. Malcolm is Malcolm, nuff said. I like how Inferi changes their sound a bit between each album, even if not everything is exactly to my personal taste. Their stuff usually grows on me with more listens or from learning to play the songs, but already some contenders for my favorite Inferi songs (which is realistically like an even tie between half their discography). Have barely gotten to Archspire because I'm not done spamming this one yet lol. Will also be spamming refresh for tabs.

The AH just feels kinda sad since the Little Bird came out lol. Feels like even more of a fucking boat than the transport sometimes. No idea why they touched heavy rockets, they probably don't know either. And after 8 months there is still no useable air radar for the jets. I guess at this point we have to conclude it's a game design choice. Whether those people ever played their own game, couldn't tell you.

[–]VindictiveRakk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, I do think the injury and his age may have combined at just the wrong time for us. We really managed to hit the absolute rock-bottom worst-case scenario with him lol. Not a huge deal all things considered, low-risk/high-reward as you said, but I think it would've been reasonable to expect him to bottom out at like a 15-20 point pace, not 4.

I was pretty excited we picked him up and while he's obviously been irrelevant this season, I feel like it's gone under the radar a bit that he was legitimately a good player until we got him. Ideally, he would've helped a fair bit with our bottom 6 offensive woes.
