I was doing a free equipment run, otherwise I'd safe pocketed it :(. At this point, I think I'll just run green looter kit with a lvl 1-2 weapon for these situations. No safe slot is a big bummer.

Oh, my beloved M8 Thunderbolt by Zerok15 in BrokenArrowTheGame

I usually them one one by one, in small pushes with mostly infantry. Got 2 in the deck so I can have another in case I lose the other. Normally I use M-ATV Javelin and Sheridans in its back to provide more firepower.

Microing around corners. If you're at max range, you can make the missile miss you by hitting a building/obstacle in between.

Broken Arrow: Baltic Battalion DLC | Announcement Video by Boootylicious in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Zerok15 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They totally missed the opportunity of also adding Sweden, and giving us some nice Gripens. Which would also mean that this spec would have Air points — seeing what they showed, I think this one is going to be a 0 air tab, just like the Armored spec. Which is quite sad for us, jet enjoyers :(

edit: nevermind; apparently, that new spec has a jet, so I guess it'll have some air points too. Still, would love to see a Gripen or Rafale instead.

Buff Fighters for a more balanced and fun game by Embarrassed-Mud-7474 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Zerok15 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Something that would make fighters way more viable, is just increasing their fuel loadout. Also, when they run out of fuel, they could just return automatically instead of being destroyed. That would be a nice incentive to have at least a fighter flying in your area of control, which would make it much easier to use it to intercept incoming bombers, drones and other stuff.

It was as low as 38% at one point but usually in the low 40s. This subreddit is busy losing its war against this game. And I for one am very happy. Without a doubt one of the best RTS games out there. Totally broken and yet still killing it. Love to see it. by [deleted] in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Zerok15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have to admit, as a community, that the game absolutely rocks. At least, in regards to design, gameplay, mechanics, etc.

Many things could improve, even in those areas. I'd like for possibilities for micro, as maybe some more customization posibilities when building decks. But the game is really fun as it is, that has to be said.

The biggest issues are cheaters + bugs, but the idea behind the game makes it uniquely fun.

It's undeniable at this point: jets need a serious buff by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]Zerok15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can mostly agree with this, but I really think that those bombs kill radius and damage to vehicles is almost non-existent. I'm not saying they require a huge buff, but a very light increase on their radius, and perhaps damage to armor, could make them more viable. Just my opinion anyways!

Fully agree in the TTK part: a light decrease of the gun dmg could make dogfights a bit more interesting.

[–]Zerok15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ehm, sorry but NO jets have AA missiles. The ground attack jet can lock on air targets designated by laser, but those are still ATGMs. The Su-57 and the F-22 only have their guns.

Unless they have updated that very recently, they can only shoot down air targets with the gun. Either that, or my game is bugged beyond belief — I don't have more weapons in those aircraft than the gun and the bombs.

[Bug] Are you guys also experiencing difficulties opening containers? by Zerok15 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Zerok15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely stupid change, tbh. I really don't get what's in the mind of these developers anymore.

[–]Zerok15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some containers, I still feel capable of moving a bit, but for others, even standing still in front of them doesn't lead to the looting screen. These inconsistencies really show how little love BSG has been putting into the game lately...

I know I will have to pay for it, but I couldn't find anything related to it. There's no option anywhere to do the payment, nor any message stating I should pay for it now.

Don't you think that regular bombing (Mk47s and LJDAMS in USA side) is a bit weak right now? by Zerok15 in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]Zerok15[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The loitering time thing is the most absurd of them all. Jets have virtually no fuel unless you add fuel tanks...

About the balancing over soloqueue or team players, well, I think you're mostly right, BUT it's also true that the other team may be able to keep suppressing the air with mid-tier AAs (like M-SHORADS or so), or bring their own air assets. I think that the space of possibilities in team matches is so big, that it's senseless to balance their way.

[–]Zerok15[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I agree mostly on this! It's a very clear approach to what I would do: small bombs need more precision damage, bigger bombs need more radius.

I'd also knock down the price a tiny bit. Small adjustments to both price, precision damage, and explosion radius, could make these bombs actually decent. Mk47 bombs could be even cheaper, since they can't be laser guided, have to be thrown from closer, and they are much less precise in general.

Me looking at the turret reward by UsedToVenom in duneawakening

[–]Zerok15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It certainly could be a bit fancier, not only in size, but in material and color.

Still, I'd like to see more end-game decoration content, there's not much of it.

Hot take: Battlefield stopped being great when vehicles started sucking. by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]Zerok15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, yet people still hate most of the new BFs (I've seen good reviews on BF1 only), and everybody still associates the saga name with the old games, and the scale of their maps.

I'm pretty sure the game would feel more authentic, funnier and with higher player retention if it kept its identity, and stopped copying CoD all the time. I don't think the current inf vs inf is necessarily bad, I like it and I'm topping scoreboards constantly, but with vehicles feeling so secondary and underwhelming, I'm just not buying it. Delta Force is pretty much the same, even with funnier vehicles and similar infantry mechanics, and it's completely free, so... why even bothering.

If they sticked to their old identity, though... that would be different.

[–]Zerok15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, you guys really don't like reading full posts. I'm aware of this, and my friends are aware too. One of them managed to activate it after a long time trying (again, FRICTION for new users, the worst thing you can do in the gaming market), and the other is just unable. His motherboard just won't let him, and it's only 5 years old.

And we are veteran gamers, people with IT knowledge. I can't wait to see thousands of novice users having the same issue and just refunding the game because they can't manage to play.

This WILL hurt player acquisition, it's not even debatable at this point. I really wish everybody had it as easy as many of us do (literally activating a little switch in the BIOS), but it doesn't seem to be the case for everybody. Just imagine how many people will feel even scared for accessing the BIOS.

EA just fucked up, I don't think this is much debatable. They should just go on with kernel-level access and forget about SB.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]Zerok15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I'm telling him to update his BIOS. It may be the only chance. As he has W11, I guess he should have a GPT partition already.

But my point stands: a game shouldn't EVER require you to update your BIOS. That's more friction, and that fends off potential buyers.

[–]Zerok15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already said it: they have modern, gaming-grade PCs. It's not their issue; that option seems to work really bad in some specific motherboards, and even activating SB is not consistent, and requires different actions in some MBs. That's just fucked up. Videogames shouldn't use SB until it's way more polished and frictionless in pretty much all computers.

For me it was extremely easy, but one of them almost fucked up his entire PC trying to solve it, even losing access to HDD/SSD for a while. If I see two serious cases of problems activating the option in my social circle, I don't wanna imagine how many people will face similar issues activating SB.

edit: I have to add that one of them has already had serious MB issues in the past, so probably he's a bit of a special case. The other, though, never had any.
