Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

[PhysicsMan94]

I'm sitting just outside top 30 atm but I would have thought Nexus would be right up there. Looking through it he cant have registered cos he would be sitting at number 6 UK if he had (2900 'ish kills). I do repair bitch regularly with the number 7/8 in world though but he never leaves Shanghai map nice fella too and its great picking up those easy points for just sitting watching his back for sneaky c4 dudes

ps that banana republic server i got kicked from a while back and havnt been back. Badmins big time , they gave me some of that new text speak stuff and i told them i didnt understand their baby speak so he kicked me with the reason - 'understand this' . No probs really as theres plenty of decent servers out there with mature admins.

Yeah, it would be useful to have a repair bitch for my tanks, that's for sure. I would definitely get into the top 30 in the UK in that case, as I am off from uni for the Christmas holidays now so have plenty of time to play!

Strange that you've had problems with the admins on the Banana Republic server, I've had good experienced with them all round. But I find myself playing on "==USC== 24/7 Golmud Railway Madness" mostly these days; and "TE 64 Conquest - No Bad Rules" for when I want to get easy kills, lots of noobs on that server!

So fed up with roof campers, MBT laws now, such a noob weapon and such a noob tactic, although when people camp on the roofs i.e. on dawnbreaker it just makes those HMG kills even more satisfying!

If I had my way:

- any building/roof that doesn't have an elevator is out of bounds
- remove MBT law, activ radar, artillery missiles

As primarily a tank driver in BF4 myself, I agree with this. I find it very difficult nowadays to use tanks on Dawnbreaker given the amount of RL roof campers, when the game first came out it wasn't much of a problem but now it's a nightmare.

And don't get me started on the mobile artillery, damn thing is a nuisance and the refire rate is way too quick and doesn't let you get out and rep your tank quickly.

What annoys me the most though is that one single infantry guy with a decent RL can do so much damage to an MBT and it can be difficult to kill him if he is dancing around a big rock or some other easy-to-manipulate piece of cover. Overall, in my opinion, MBTs are too easy to take out but I'm probably biased in that statement

I'll be on later plan to unlock the 2nd last DMR, the 4th sniper, the 7th handgun and the PDW from Engineer Expert.

Might pop some 200%ers if its going well

The most pleasing thing for me last night was killing a guy called aimbot 5 times in a row as he took exactly the same position each time I killed him lmao the intelligence of some people astonishes me

haha killed him quite a lot too

He was just camping up there with his friends waiting for bomber every time

Have just set that leaderboard thing up, patsy is number 1! Will never get number 1 spot unless he takes a long break from the game He is an awesome tank player though, I am usually his repair bitch

Don't know how people can play the same map non stop, incredibly pointless and boring imo.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you are a tanker with a 1.5KD you are doing something very wrong :/

Play a few games with Nexus, Westie, Patsy and to a lesser extent myself (I'm more of a pilot / Infantry) and see how they / we use the tank. Unlike BF3 you really can't be super aggressive :'(

Shut it you!!! It's a locker thug life braaaah

At the start of the game, I didn't play in a tank much at all - that is where my relatively poor K/D comes from, and also the fact that a lot of my playing was done on a laptop during uni semester (didn't take my desktop) and I didn't get a great frame rate on that; plus the connection wasn't great either.

But now I'm back on my rig in my signature and my K/D has only been climbing the past week or so. I usually get a K/D of around 4 or 5 on the Golmud Railway 24/7 server I mentioned. And, of course, it takes quite a while to increase your K/D significantly.

P.S: is there some sort of OcUK TS that you people use?

 

[JGStonedRaider]

Ahh fair play then, as I said, I'm not trying to knock you but help. What loadout are you using on your tank atm? AP / Sabot + Reactive + Thermal / Zoom is the way to go (and Ink blotch camo LIKE A BAWS)

The TS that most of the guys on here use is on the OP (OcUK Unofficial Gaming TS3 ), but others and myself are normally on other TS's.

 

[Nexus18]

^^

True that! I didn't really bother with vehicles/tank until about 100 or so hours into the game, only used the love boat! If I didn't use tanks/boats as much as I am atm, my k/d would only be around 2.7-3

Should hit 4k/d soonish

I am kind of tempted to reset my stats though, as I would probably have a k/d of at least 20 then Probably get kicked/banned from every server though lol

I just want to be number 1 tanker in UK! Unfortunately will never happen unless I use a tank on rogue map non stop for a while.......

I really like dawnbreaker but it is completely ruined by roof campers now, we all thought shanghai was bad for roof campers but it doesn't have a patch on dawnbreaker.

Just a shame DICE won't do anything about roof camping, it ruins so many maps imo, especially flood zone, another map I really like but ruined by the same noobs......

Tanks are more or less perfect as they are! They are the only vehicles that are well balanced in this game, every thing else is either too powerful or complete and utter **** (attack heli............). Boats would be the next best balanced thing, only OP thing about them is the 30mm cannon.

Shut it you!!! It's a locker thug life braaaah

Got to farm those points!

The TS that most of the guys on here use is on the OP (OcUK Unofficial Gaming TS3 ), but others and myself are normally on other TS's.

I use the following:

- Sabot shell
- Coaxial HMG
- Active Protection (though it seems bugged at times)
- Thermal
- Reactive Armour
- Gunner Thermal
- Gunner Incendiary

Though I'm thinking of taking the incendiary off as my gunners always seem stupid and use it when I'm battling another tank causing me to not be able to see unless I switch to thermal.

And I use Beo Gam paint because I like to show off my premium swagger

 

[JGStonedRaider]

Thermal for driver / gunner is only really useful on Zavod and proxy is far better than incendiary for gunner (because it never works).

Nexus, if I'd reset my stats when uCAV'ing I'd have about a 50-150KD bout now

 

[Josh]

I thought I was good in armour, then I played with Nexus, it's like now life has no meaning, food has no taste and colours are drab! Lol

Jump on the unofficial OcUK TS in the evening, fair few of us go on there.

See how many more server kicks/bans I can get tonight.

JG how goes things with XTS?

 

[Fire_fly]

Send em an invite on origin/battlelog - in sig

I will send you an invite

If anyone else from Last night wants to add me my origin is Sidewinder_90. I did try to add some of you but I could not remember everyone's names.

I use a similar load out but swap the thermals for zooms, I find it much more useful when engaging at longer ranges.

Also I'm not sure on what is better the LMG or the HMG. The LMG has the better RoF but the HMG has the better range and damage per hit.

 

[Nexus18]

Please use gunner prox scan, it is much more useful! Most of my deaths when in the tank are from sneaky recon/engis with their slams, mines or/and c4.......

Nexus, if I'd reset my stats when uCAV'ing I'd have about a 50-150KD bout now

You big UCAV noob!

I thought it was nerfed big time since patch? Haven't seen anyone using it so far......


Those two things just need to go! (other being that airplane thing the recon gets)

it's like now life has no meaning, food has no taste and colours are drab! Lol

lol

It helps when I have a good repair bitch/gunner! Would like the 50 cal to get a bit of a buff, it is utterly useless for anything other than close range

Yup zoom and HMG for me every day!

Don't really need thermal on normal core (would be handy in hardcore though) since you have the spotting, mini map etc.

And HMG is just better:

- way more damage
- better range
- does damage to jets, helis and transport vehicles

Will try and join you guys a bit more over Xmas, I am spread rather thin over 4 teams atm, everyone wants a bit of Raider :/

XTS is going great, lot's of practice (each blooming night) as we have loads of comps in January of which I am sure I will spam all over here so ya'll can watch us in action. Josh, found some more space on F list so lets get some games in over chrimbo

 

[Nexus18]

I don't know how people cba with comp. play/teams let alone 4 teams!

Too much pressure for my liking, I don't cope well with pressure at all!

 

[eyetrip]

Little annoyed with this game right now. Been trying for hours to get the LA852, and did the required pistol/defib/40mm grenade twice now, and still not unlocked

All in the same round?

If yes, it will be unlocked and you can select in game, it just won't show up in BL loadout etc. for a while

I stopped play Hardcore a long time ago, too many camping snipers.

I have been using the HMG for the last couple of weeks, whilst it is better than the LMG the low RoF always bugs me as I can never hit anything due to my poor aim.

 

[eyetrip]

Yeah, all in same round.

And it can be a pain getting all three in in a round. normally got 2 of the 3.
