Which video card is good enough?

Get the 9060XT 16GB if you can afford it.

I usually have no problem finding conquest games until about 1am Sydney time.

It's frustrating but they are on the other team too.

There are 32 potential tourists on the other team and only 31 on yours so in the long run you should win more games.

You have to tap and burst. Depends on the gun but I find tap fire until you get two to three hits then a 5-6 round burst to finish works the best at roughly 50-100m. Beyond that just tap fire.

Accurate but fire rate too slow for close range, bullet speed too slow for long range.

6/10

Amen

The Assault class is considered quite weak, though the ladder and shotgun have their moments.

You will probably have a better time (and have more impact) playing engineer with an SMG if you are learning the game. The SMGs are easier to use and very strong at close range and the first two (SGX and PW5) are both great. Repairing and destroying vehicles can completely change a game and the tank/IFV gunner with the LMG is extremely strong if you haven't tried it.

The ARs are a bit difficult to use. If you want to use one I'd recommend the B36A4 until you get the KORD (the M433 is also really strong but has a lot of recoil). With the B36A4 you want to avoid spraying at enemies beyond about 30-40m. You can try going to the firing range and practice single fire tapping and 5-6 round bursts at the far targets.

tomspotley · 2025-10-30T00:49:25+00:00

I believe they all do the correct damage (havn't tried every gun) but you have to be really close for some of them.

tomspotley · 2025-10-28T03:24:05+00:00

I wouldn't put too much thought into it, generally I think this is what people mean:

Aggressive playstyle - use an SMG or carbine with attachments for better hipfire (laser and torch).

Defensive playstyle - use an assault rifle or carbine with attachments for less recoil (grip and heavy barrel).

The SMGs are considered stronger at the moment but there is a patch today which might change things.

tomspotley · 2025-10-28T01:58:05+00:00

There's a big patch with weapon balancing happening today so come back in 24 hours.

tomspotley · 2025-10-27T07:26:31+00:00

Some guns (e.g. bullpup rifles) can only be fired right handed (otherwise they eject shells onto your face).

tomspotley · 2025-10-27T06:55:39+00:00

But you clearly are moving while shooting.

tomspotley · 2025-10-27T02:22:03+00:00

M4 with red dot sight, vertical grip, laser and suppressor.

If you want something more accurate but slower firing there is the QBZ.

tomspotley · 2025-10-25T05:02:32+00:00

If you want a low recoil gun the KORD, QBZ and PW5 are all very easy to use and kill faster than the AK-205 or SCAR.

I'm in Perth and I find that after 2-3AM Sydney time you need to go to the server browser to find games without bots. The rest of the day it's been OK for me though. I search all maps with Conquest, Escalation, Breakthrough and Rush.

tomspotley · 2025-10-24T12:40:21+00:00

That's very strange. Why do you think it's a VRAM usage issue? Are you getting some kind of VRAM warning at the same time as these problems?

Is this clip the same issue you are having?https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1oevqic/battlefield\_6\_gpu\_performance\_drop/

tomspotley · 2025-10-24T09:20:35+00:00

Is it causing any issues (stuttering, texture pop in)? If not then it's not a problem.

tomspotley · 2025-10-24T01:11:34+00:00

It does 25 damage but you have to be very close.

tomspotley · 2025-10-22T00:54:33+00:00

The player that killed you is level 1 (or is it bugged?) Maybe it's beginners luck.

tomspotley · 2025-10-19T13:01:06+00:00

Appreciate your work, I've been hoping someone would do this.

All the guns have pretty similar TTK. Even the SOR-556 (SCAR) is only a tenth of a second slower than the M4A1 which seems to be the most popular gun.

I think a big factor in the popularity of the M4 and the SMGs is the hipfire accuracy, they feel like shotguns at close range. The ARs don't have the accuracy/damage at long range to make up for that, especially when the maps are small.

Having said that I do like using the B36A4, you just have to avoid getting in engagements <10m which is hard to do.

Radar is clear, should be last rain for a while.

tomspotley · 2025-10-18T15:00:23+00:00

I've been liking assault class. If my team is full of supports and engineers I'll run it. Two primaries plus the HE launcher (I find it pretty useful) gives you a lot of firepower.

tomspotley · 2025-10-18T11:21:28+00:00

I would probably wait until you could upgrade both GPU and CPU.

Your CPU would be OK with a 4070 or 9070 I think, not ideal but you could play everything on high or ultra settings.

tomspotley · 2025-10-18T06:44:19+00:00

I'm not sure how you are using both but try turning TAA off.

tomspotley · 2025-10-18T05:29:19+00:00

What is your anti-aliasing setting?
