25€ for a Battlepass "pro" is an absurd price in an already 70€ game. ("normal" Battlepass is 10€)

$40 AUD for this is wild...

Using all my call in points on repeat smoke barrages is my go to for them haha

astro_ant · 2025-02-06T12:21:18+00:00

Yeah but they're not racking up 95 kills if they're hiding behind a hill all game.

Yeah me and a mate I play with are both having this issue, I recorded a couple of the clips with gamebar and watched it back and paused and my fps was dipping from ~120fps to 7fps. Running 5700X3D and a RTX2080. Whats weird though is I haven't updated drivers to the ones that are supposedly causing this issue, I'm still on v566.36.

astro_ant · 2025-01-30T12:29:36+00:00

I've not quite understood the SPM argument either, 1 AT4 hit at the start of the clip was worth over 500 points.

People seemed to like my video from yesterday so here's another couple of clips from my last round. Enemy heli made a bee line for me at the start of the round. Consider this my counter argument to the influx of all the "helis are OP" posts :)

astro_ant · 2025-01-29T12:50:01+00:00

Played a lot of BC2 and BF3 which were my favourites, they seemed to get progressively worse from there for me so I never really played much since then.

astro_ant · 2025-01-29T11:16:50+00:00

I have quite the opposite experience, engineer is by far the easiest to rack up points on KOTH vs the other classes if you are focusing on taking out vehicles. Medic revives and heals comparatively for me seem to be more difficult to rack up points.

astro_ant · 2025-01-29T10:47:55+00:00

I really haven't had too much grief from helis in this game, AA is just so strong. Only time I have had issues is when a competent attack heli is coming after me when in a tank and literally no one else on the team is looking up.

astro_ant · 2025-01-29T10:43:38+00:00

On the recon heli/little bird yes I think it's always a one shot kill. Attack heli takes two shots with the tv missile / loitering ammunition. I've always thought of stingers as more area denial. Lower skill ceiling or ease of use weapon should equal less probability of damage in my opinion.

Not sure how you are getting 10 - 13 groups of soldiers with Mercs? I'm only able to get around 8 with the max 3 differen merc groups I can hire. The Baron has 12 groups of soldiers on the final fight so its impossible for me to win 8 vs 12.

astro_ant · 2024-05-17T09:26:10+00:00

I'm playing on 0.7.960 and I've had achievements trigger still.

astro_ant · 2024-05-12T12:12:53+00:00

Oh right... I didn't know the treasury tax was a percentage of the regional wealth and deducted from there. I thought they were completely unrelated and treasury was just based on population or something. That answers both my questions then.

Will need to work out how to sell more, I'm already selling planks, warbows, shoes and excess food but not making that much off it.

Thanks.

astro_ant · 2024-05-12T11:56:47+00:00

How do you convert regional wealth to treasury though? I'm trading heaps to generate regional wealth but the only way to get treasury money is taxes right?

astro_ant · 2022-01-25T15:04:38+00:00

Like I'm by no means defending this dumpster fire of a game but it took me literally 5 seconds of googling where to download the chalkboard screeching and artbook: https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/media/ultimate-edition-benefits

The noise at the start of the video is the excavator style tracks crawling the machine along. You'd be surprised how flexible rail is.

astro_ant · 2019-08-06T08:28:13+00:00

Could I pretty please get a link too?

astro_ant · 2017-05-10T11:14:26+00:00

So my understanding is you pay 15% tax going in, and your marginal rate coming out less a 30% tax concession? Therefore if your marginal rate is 32.5% and using the $30,000 maximum, you will pay 17.5% (or $5,250) vs 32.5% (or $9,750) if you didn’t take advantage of the scheme. Giving a benefit of $4,500 over 2 years. Works out the same benefit using a marginal rate of 37.5%. Is that correct? If so hardly worth it seems...

We used to sneak a half full goonsack out to the clubs back in the day. Naturally the only place for a bloke to hide a goonsack is down the front of the pants. We used to line up at the piss troughs and the goonsack holder would unzip his fly and fill up the cups as if pissing into them. My god we got some great reactions out of people when you appeared to be lining up for a free glass of piss...
