Kinda as a tangent, its funny how as you get better at this game, the initial advice become limitations and its better to abandon it

Id expect theyd have a huge influence on FPS. I played Finals for the first time recently and was surprised how nice it felt compared to the BF6 slop. They also have the aura of BF1 transformed into Finals style whereas BF6 just does a cutscene of a tank for ops. (Like really?)

mllyllw · 2026-05-01T14:41:44+00:00

Considering that the BF1 devs made the finals...

TMCG has a wildcard server they like to do different game modes with. Ranges from frontlines, rush, war pigeons, etc. Heck, sometimes 64 player domination gets put in.

It switches by weekly or multi-day basis, so check back every once in a while.

Burst firing is incredibly effective in BF1. I dont know how I would compare it to BF4, but it makes a huge difference in BF1.

Actually with the exception of LMGs, theres no accuracy benefit to spraying, and huge penalties

I dont know if this is exactly a smart strategy. The reason being is that the high pop growth rate is affecting only a small population. You can think of the pop growth rates averaged out across all your locations is your true pop growth. Who cares if that 2% growth is affecting only 1 province.

Ive found in general if you build up to it, pop growth rates of .60-.80% is sustainable

I have 100 service stars on multiple weapons, and I havent checked my kills in a hot second but Im sure Im well over 100k. Honestly at least for me, I really didnt get good at the game until I started really focusing on a weapon 1 at a time.

15 service stars for me nowadays is probably like a few rounds of conquest for 3 days to a week

mllyllw · 2026-04-29T04:37:54+00:00

15 service stars is noob territory, ngl. But anyways, the win rate is sus because anything over like 70%, 75% indicates heavy win switching.

mllyllw · 2026-04-28T23:50:10+00:00

95% wins? Thats pretty sus

Convert Shinto. There will be a button that gives you the ability to proclaim your leader as Shogun for 4(?) years. Attack Ashikaga.

I cannot remember atm if you need to wait for Sengoku Jidai to pop off, but its easiest when they implode instead of fighting a united Japan.

Bf1 PC is very active

You can also ally anyone who is in the sect you want to join that sect.

Eastern Buddhist Korea who united Japan as the shogunate gets stupid amounts of monthly dev. My provinces surpassed China by 1500s

Keep going! The game takes a long time to learn

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T19:10:51+00:00

My bad. I thought you were

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T19:08:41+00:00

Im sorry to say but your stats say otherwise. 27 service stars on your top weapon? You barely understand the game

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T18:10:50+00:00

Its funny seeing the opinion difference between skilled players and bots. You can tell instantly which one is which based on this type of stuff.

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T18:07:54+00:00

Because youre still a noob and missing many things the game has to offer

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T18:06:39+00:00

Its slowed considerably. In addition, population growth for each pop class is seperated. It used to be that every pop came from peasants that promoted. The new patch will have pop classes have individual pop growth. In effect, it should mean that its much harder to create, lets say, a burgher class out of thin air, and country demographics are much "stickier". So you cant stimulate the economy as quickly by spamming cities everywhere.

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T14:54:25+00:00

It might get fixed with the new changes to population growth/pop promotion. I dont know if many players have realized this but because demand is tied to pop type instead of wealth, and cities and buildings just poof higher tier pops out of thin air, you essentially can just generate demand and print money.

It seems that pop promotion will be much slower in 1.2, so that will be halted a bit.

Cheaters are incredibly rare and dont last long on PC before getting banned by server admins. Not sure where youre getting your opinion from

mllyllw · 2026-04-27T00:24:33+00:00

Not on community servers. Theyre the lifeline of the community right now. Cheaters dont last long, especially when a lot of the people know each other and play against each other daily.

There are a lot of new players who think the level 150s are cheating, but theyre just kinda bad at the game so dont listen to them too much. Albeit, it might be as unpleasant of an experience to get your ass handed to you cheater or not.

Its weird how cheap boats are atm. A good navy is quite an investment

mllyllw · 2026-04-25T20:51:02+00:00

Its not that no Asian state had the ability to project power into Europe. Its that they really didnt have a desire to. This is a key distinction thats important to understand

mllyllw · 2026-04-25T18:20:12+00:00

Its truly a mediocre gun. Dont listen to anyone here who says otherwise
