I have no problem with your opinion on the game, as I mentioned in my earlier post what got my back up was the way your post was suggesting that they should listen to "proper" battlefield players, thereby insinuating that someone who does like BF1 as it is isn't a "proper" battlefield player. Which is why I pointed out how I had played all the BF games and consider myself thereby surely fully qualified to count as a "proper" battlefield player, yet I like the BF1 beta. So I was calling you out not on your opinion of the game but on your opinion of what constitutes a proper player.
But we digress, I will drop it happily so that we can all talk about the game rather than personal disputes

I'm quite happy if a new/different generation/group of players enjoy BF1 or whatever - just saddens me that it couldn't be the experience I know it could be and isn't for me.
Not sure, I tried to take it down with a light tank but that didn't work. I might leave some mines on there next time, in case someone decides to take a vehicle up there.
Had an epic mine 5 bang last night at the side entrance to where the F flag is in conquest. Large tank laden with attackers.
Yeah I can understand the logic of that, I have been saddened by the path that several game series have taken over the years. For me currently, I feel that way about the Deus Ex series.
Its always a pity when something changes away from what you are used to, I can understand the motives behind it..end of the day all these companies are businesses and their primary goal is to make money, entertainment and legacy is a lesser concern for them. I guess when a series changes a lot that the suits at the companies have done their studies and made the changes because they think it will bring in more money. Only time will tell if they are right of course but if they are, then as much as I may dislike a series changing, I can see why.

Oh yes, there are few things more satisfying than watching a 6x Multikill occur when you destroy a full tank
I guess I should give the patch a while to see if it has fixed some of the issues I was having as well (though for me to enjoy it really needs a big shift in gameplay mechanics) - but I have a bit of a sour taste left from BF4 beta where it seemed mostly in an ok place with a few things needing some tweaking to make it great and then retail game was worse with things even more broken than the beta and took months to be even in the shape the beta was in.

If you can I might just destroy it at the start of every round. Sprinting up and around the rock on a horse killing the snipers is pretty rewarding, though. Jumped off when I ran into 3 of them prone and it went straight off the edge and somehow lived after landing on a ledge.
I'm away at work at the moment, are there any patchnotes?
BF4 was a strange one for me. When BF4 was released I bought it of course but I had racked up about 500 hours or something in BF3 , unlocked everything and become very attuned and honed to BF3. So when I first played BF4 I really didn't like it at all, I think in part because I was back to having nothing unlocked, had to slightly adjust my playstyle to account for slight differences in the game etc, so in the end I said sod this I'm going back to BF3. I continued to play BF3 for about another year before finally trying BF4 out again and this time round I clicked with it a bit better and enjoyed it more. At that point I dropped BF3 and played BF4. Thankfully this time I have clicked with BF1 from the get-go so I'm not having to repeat that same BF3 to BF4 experience.
No patch notes yet. They've removed the conquest time limit of 20 minutes now so games can actually play out, first team to 300 tickets wins! That was a big gripe of mine so glad they listened on that one. No idea what other changes have been implemented.
That's an interesting change, so far by the time the Train has come out, there hasn't been enough time left for the losing team to use it to swing things around, so few have ever bothered to focus on destroying it. I wonder if having the train will help turnarounds now with no time limit.
Sigh so it doesn't let me reuse any binds in vehicles (dunno if its been mentioned anywhere already - probably has but I've not really followed the forums/thread closely) for some reason it randomly works for about 5 seconds when I first get into a vehicle - hence my confusion. So if I have a key bound to forward on foot I can't use it for forward in a vehicle and the same key can't be used for entry and exit from a vehicle... WTF...
I can't have any duplicate bindings in the beta - if a key is mapped to something in on foot I can't use it for vehicle or air and if something is bound to vehicle I can't use it for air. Very very frustrating 
took me awhile to work out what the problem was as I had other things occupying my time/mind.
So for instance I can't just use one key for forward/accelerate in everything - I'd have to have one for forward on foot, another one for vehicles and yet another for air.

Yep could potentially be a bigger factor to a losing team though not sure how they've altered the spawn mechanics now the timer has been removed.

Do you use WASD?
Was thinking about trying to edit the config manually - I had to do that for 1-2 binds in the BF4 beta IIRC as they weren't recognised - haven't had a lot of time to play around with stuff like that.
EDIT: Everything looks ok in the PROFSAVE_profile file - all the keys are bound correctly there just tried resetting/deleting config and that hasn't fixed it either.
No
