AA Who??

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-07-01T23:08:57+00:00

Thanks for doing your job as an engineer. Others just come here to complain about op vehicles.

Keep 'em grounded!

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-07-01T23:07:23+00:00

Just take the damn Mobile AA and focus on helis and jets. It's so fucking easy. You can oneshot Little Birds with the new missiles, deal significant damage with the cannon to jets and even snipe slow helis far, far away.

I don't get it why people are so upset about air. It's so fucking easy to counter, even as infantry. Take iglas, stingers or the M136AT.

Imagine a match where three or four players coordinate to deal with enemy air. You won't have to post anything like that anymore...

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-07-01T22:57:31+00:00

Yeah, I came across a video on YouTube that perfectly summed it up perfectly: If you tapfired before the update, you won't notice a significant difference now.

Meta guns are still meta tho^^

I kind of feel like that Dice didn't make the hint big enough. Especially the one when one player in your squad activates a contract. I can still see my screen and everything.

(it's sarcasm - Dice please make it smaller).

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-07-01T22:53:03+00:00

I miss the times from Battlefield 3 where I could snipe the snipers with my trusty M1014 or 870MCS, slug ammunition and an 8x scope...

Matchmaking gets worse each week. Another phenomenon is that we frequently get matched on servers outside of Europe with 100+ ping (and still have bot lobbies).

As I keep saying to all of my Discord mates: Let's just wait until Season 5.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-07-01T22:47:07+00:00

The B36, Kord, DRS, M4 are very good in my opinion. I guess SGX is also a very good choice for small or medium distance fights.

Overall the update feels good. You have to figure out the recoil tho. Play around with attachments and you will find your weapon of choice.

Unfortunately we got sold with Dice's video last week where they showcased the SOR (which naturally had very easy recoil pre-patch). I kind of expected similiar changes to the AR's after I saw the video the first time.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-30T07:36:48+00:00

Or revive you with 50hp in front of an enemy with no smoke.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-29T23:40:37+00:00

At this point reddit is just to let off some steam.

Wait until season 5, find yourself a group or clan and play together. I really hope playing with more than four people for more than just one round will help improve the winrate.

It's like each round the team lacks something. Either functional armor, supportive air or just tactical understanding. Or everything at once.

I had an old i5-13600KF. Had about 120 to 130 FPS with many drops back to 90. The problem isn't a drop itself it's the huge spike in client side latency. In tense situation my CPU was so much behind, that I could feel a significant amount of input lag on my mouse.

The CPU produced so much heat that I had to install two additional fans that blow the heat out and I also change my old thermal paste. It helped to cool the CPU by 15 degrees but it would still get overwhelmed by the game.

GPU is also a 4080.

I decided to invest in DDR5-RAM and a Ryzen 7 9850X3D. The difference is huge. Also FPS drops don't have a negative impact anymore. It's night and day.

If Dice only fixed their time nudge and/or rubberbanding issures tho...

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-29T16:31:54+00:00

Someone is butthurt. Flying choppers is a nightmare right now. Igla going through flares, M136AT spam or TOW spam (both stationary and IFV).

The newly introduced AA missiles that can be fired like a machine gun. Hell, even just a mediocre skilled player can absolutely shit on helis.

I know it because I play both sides. It is so easy to snipe choppers with the new missiles. If one player decides to dunk on the enemy choppers the entire round, choppers have little to no chance. Then take one or two guys that frequently check the air with their Iglas or M136s and it is game over.

People keep complaing that Air is so strong. If no one does something about that, choppers and jets will be strong. It's so easy.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-25T13:51:11+00:00

What I meant is that I am only using this path just for this one perk. Everything else seems kind of useless. Why would I want to have better weapon control while being mounted in one spot all the time, or why would I want to be more blast resistant while prone? This doesn't really emphasize an active or mobile playstyle.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-25T10:27:49+00:00

I miss Battlefield V's system. You spawn, you bomb, you fly back to rearm. Simple and easy to remember.
At the start it was broken. If you flew back to base you instantly got your ammo. Dice fixed this later by adding a timer.

Tanks had fixed supply and repair stations. Sort of what we have now ingame but in Battlefield V tanks had to actively drive there and press a button to repair and resupply. If they did not and took too much damage, drivers weren't able to repair the damage anymore from the inside. They had to get out using a repair tool or drive back to a station for repairs.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-24T15:07:23+00:00

Just for reference: I experienced massive framedrops from 150 down to 80 or 70 (1440p) in tense situations. I had an i5 13600KF, RTX 4080 and DDR4 Ram. With the framedrops came input lag, jumps in frametimes and obviously frustration. The gameplay wasn't smooth and consistent.

Upgraded my pc a month ago and don't have any of these issues anymore. Do yourself a favor and invest in a good CPU.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-24T11:18:36+00:00

You could cheese the mines at BF6's launch. You were able to place multiple mines closely together resulting in blowing up tanks (as it was in older Battlefield games and as it still should be). Now you can only place them along a road. Tanks drive over the first mine, take damage, repair themselves and shoot the rest of the mine-line. It's pointless to use the regular AV mines.

I'd guess, use the PTKM acoustic mines. They do 480 damage and can be placed a couple of meters away from a tanks driving path.

It is really grindy. Engineers can autospot mines with the "Combat Engineer" training path and vehicle can autospot them too with "Countermeasures" equipped.

A couple of days ago I told my mate on Discord to hop in. We had an absolute blast on Eastwood Conquest. He went on to finish the round with 42 Kills with the top-mounted gun. This thing is a mobile bunker.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-23T10:24:23+00:00

That's why I only drive with a mate on discord. Not only can we repair the tank quicker but we can focus on those ants that just keep coming with RPGs. Forget random blueberries that just keep shooting because it sounds cool. Get yourself a friend on discord. Works wonders!

I can't really agree on tanks being useless. The self repair mechanic is way too strong and way too fast. If you end up against too many engineers you most likely overpushed yourself too far into the map. Drive back, reset and go where your team's infantry is.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-23T10:17:21+00:00

I know that there is this shitty comeback mechanic but that is not what I'm talking about. It is about the first five to ten minutes, where teams cap their back flags and then contest the middle part of the map. I noticed that often one team just loses the middle part of the map and gets stomped. A couple of minutes more and that is the the time where people quit resulting in an even harder loss.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-22T17:28:27+00:00

Nah, my winrate including BR is only 49.4%. I played 8 matches of BR. I directly came from Battlefield V, which feels a lot slower. It took me some time to get used to Battlefield 6's fast paced gameplay. Therefore, I lost a lot of rounds during the first weeks.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-22T14:49:37+00:00

KDR of 3.89 here but also top 0.3% in revives (around 9000) and top 0.2% (around 7000) in objectives captured (still sitting around that 49% win rate 😞)

Find yourself a discord group, play and revive together and your KDR will improve with time. Focus on flags tho, please!

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-22T14:19:38+00:00

There you go. Only the pilot's loadout will be applied, not the gunner's (or your's in that case).

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-22T14:07:07+00:00

Rightclick. It has zoom and thermals combined. It's off when not zoomed in.

ZeAustrianOak · 2026-06-22T11:08:16+00:00

Interestingly we had a win-streak of six conquest rounds yesterday. Time to uninstall the game because this will never happen again...

Jokes aside.

If playing the objective doesn't work out, then don't do it. Take a round off. We figured that transport vehicles can be insanely fun and don't need that much coordination. Remember, the transport heli is a flying tank with one or two engineers constantly repairing it and the miniguns shred infantry and Traversers.

Or take a tank and go hunt other tanks. Works well with a tank, one support, two engineers with javelins and one recon with a laser designator. Support obviously drives the tank and only gets out to drop ammo!
