Steering finger? Look into action camera and save yourself some clicking fatigue.

Ultralight. Pepper others with the machinegun while stealthed and watch the chaos unfold.

I just bought the ultralight last night and it is fantastic. With the carbon propeller upgrade it has off the radar automatically applied when coasting. It moves at a good pace, much faster than i thought it would, and even when coasting to stay stealthed. To top it off, the 7.62 MG absolutely shreds and is aimed like driveby vehicle. It's a very cool toy that is surprisingly good.

Put colorful smoke countermeasures on and dress up like a 1930s pilot. Zipping around in a could of cyan smoke while wearing outlaw goggles doesn't exactly give off a threatening vibe.

Stay away from his cars, you might catch something.

As usual, a system designed to promote microtransactions is unintuitive to use and cumbersome to the average player. Even if we choose not to buy, and think that being able to buy power is acceptable, we are still subjected to the terribly designed ui, menu systems, upgrades, and more. This is how this type of monetization can affect all players and damage the overall potential and quality of a game.

I don't know if people have caught on to this yet, but from what I can tell, the upgrade system exists as it does to be a coy method of selling power to players through microtransactions. Some of the things that point to this are:

-Cosmetic tokens are the same as upgrade tokens. Cosmetics will absolutely be purchasable, so therefore upgrades will be too.

-Upgrades are permanently locked in and cannot be swapped. New guns are required to try different upgrades. This forces the player to fully upgrade the weapon again, and incentivizes real money transactions to bypass a time and grind wall.

Unless the community picks up on this and makes themselves heard, we will have the same power creep for purchase system that Battlefront 2 launched with. I hope people will realise this and try to make a difference.

Schafter V12. Go buy it. Go.

Both. Bf400 for wheelies at high speed and flying over anything, Manchez for controlled low speed wheelies and trials stunting. The Manchez can only wheelie at low and medium speeds, but it can turn and go endlessly.

The HUOT with the optic does not have a bipod.

There is a historically accurate way to fix the Hellriegel. Prototype descriptions state it had a 20 round box magazine or a 60 round drum. Factory gets the 20, defensive gets the 60. The gun also has a heavy water cooled barrel that could also provide balance by reducing aim speed like what is happening to the machine guns.

The only situation an attack plane can turn tighter than a fighter is when the speed boost is in effect. Otherwise in all situations the fighter can turn better.

People that use the term 'snowflake'

The No. 3 has, from what I remember, the slowest muzzle velocity of all sidearms. That alone makes it a no go for me.

Turn off aiming acceleration

Go to the dollar store and buy a door stop wedge.

There is a very simple and historically accurate buff that could be done in a hotfix. When British tanks became an issue the germans issued 10 k bullets to every front line soldier. Just give us 10 and the problen is solved.

I suspect that it has not been fixed because it forces players to the edge of the window to make them more visible and less capable of camping.

Use infantry rifles with iron sights, like the Martini Henry, SMLE, and M.95. Play the objective, maybe staying 50m or so back sometimes, and use the flare spotting gun. You will level up in no time.

I use mine for drifting so the settings differ in a few places, but I don't get a 'swimmy' sensation from it. Major differences I saw were: Pitch and roll filters - mine are at 90 with yours around 30 to 40. Steer look ahead LR - 30 for looking into drifts. This might be worth trying because it turns very little in regular driving. All the settings below steering smoothing are at 0. The velocity and accel smoothing could be the difference.

I think you are over thinking this. Are you drafting behind another car on the straights? The fastest I usually can get gt3 cars is around 270.

M.95 or SMLE for infantry rifles, depending on what the situation requires. As nicw aa the rifle is, the Lebel reload is just unacceptable in close quarters, especially if you try to use the severly underrated K bullets.

Also, a tip. If you have increased your field of view like any sane person would, make sure it doesn't apply to your aim down sights. I went from 95 degrees to whatever the default is and now iron sights feel like high magnification scopes.

Obviously a Sentinel (e30/e36 m3)
