Battlefield 4 Thread ~ Server details in opening post ~

I've been running the AP/sabot with Staff shell + ActiveP and zoom. Its a great set up for anti armour not so good for infy but i'm a stand off and hunt the tanks sort of guy. I like to use the tank to keep the enemy tanks at bay and then cover the infy push from back aways. Using that staff shell you can take tanks down very quickly from across the map on Golmud. I run the ActiveP cos it gives you chance to get behind cover if you get surprised and have a quick blast of rep tool. Also the staff shell is good for annoying the AA from across the map.

You shouldnt have too much trouble from the mobile arty though as he has to be relatively close to hit you. If he's that close you should be able to take him down pretty quickly.

Been playing BF4 since Tuesday, Never had any problems at all, my SLI 4GB 670 been fine.

Was dreading it while l was downloading the game, install went ok played a few maps 1st night again no problems and its been running fine.

Played different maps and up till know my SLI 670 runs fine, yet everyone has had probs. :(

PS - Had a touch of lag for the 1st time last night, but it was only for the map l was playing.

I hated doing that! I finally managed to get it on Paracel Storm by sneaking up on someone capping A (Then it took 2 attempts to kill him after I missed with the first charge)

Strangely the hardest one was getting the 40mm grenade kill. In the end it was a really fluky long range shot on to another island that hit someone, the time between firing and getting the kill as about 3-4 seconds.

They're easy if you're not looking for them. If you're in the position to knife someone then you should be able to defib them.

L85 is easily one of the best guns, you'll enjoy it once you've unlocked your attachments.

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 :D

negative joe

incendiary works fine... i always use it as gunner so pro for obscuring peoples vision with it and blocking off flanks..

I prefer thermal to zoom because I can see mines/slams better - has saved me many a time. Also, I'm pretty good at taking long range shots without zoom so I feel I don't need it. Thermal is just great all round, in my opinion, it basically highlights what you need to shoot and it lets you see LAVDs better when you have Act. Prot. enabled and they are shooting you causing that fire effect.

But, yeah, I've swapped to gunner proxy now. :)

Agreed. Attack heli's are next to useless. They are simply too feable. It takes the **** that one lock on hand held missile launched can take them out in one hit. they are just more frustatring to use than anything else as you just instantly get locked on to the minute you take off.

Mobile AA is very overpowered with active radar ( not saying a don't use it, great way to get a good score...) .You can just sit at the back of the map and take out anything in the sky very easily and there isnt much the enemy can do about it.

The other thing that makes piloting hard work is the critical damage stuff. if you are flying low and you get just one minor hit, you will probably crash as you lose control.

anyone who likes to fly in BF games knows that the flight in BF4 is bodged..question is, do DICE, and if so, are they going to do anything about it?

I like the helicopter physics (aside from the odd time it spazzes out) even if they are a bit simplistic - partly because I can't easily adapt between FPS and proper flying models within one game though I need to be in the mindset of one or the other.

The jet flight model is broken to **** though - if you try using keyboard + mouse with default/logical binds its horrendous and pretty much unflyable but with some clever rebinds you can completely break the flight model physics and fly the jets almost like a freelook cam :(

I play with a Saitek X52 flight stick so have never tried that. This time around, I find that I amn't coming up against (m)any pilots who can completely out-compete as in BF3. After a long time, I found out that mouse/keyboard users in BF3 could make a complete mockery of the flight physics, especially in regard to the 312 turning sweet spot.

I find the flight vehicles 'fun' to fly, it just more a question of bugs and some horrendous balancing issues that is destroying the air warfare aspect of the game.

Just asking out of curiosity, does anyone actually watch these matches?
Click to expand...

Not many watch the ESL matches but we had just over 30'000.....THIRTY THOUSAND :D people watch us on LevelBF last week. Here are the highlights (notice me SUAving at the end like a boss (PTFO?)) and also the first 2 rounds. Note I had an EA guy as my rep biatch :D

Also if you check out Nicz_DK's channel he was in my sqd for those rounds too.

fun games with josh etc. there. Think we got ace squad every round :D Much rage again tonight too lol...........

Really like little bird (can't tell you just how much better mouse + KB is!) but for half the match it is just pointless, get constant lock ons and even though I have two repair bitches (:p), the flight/controls/aiming gets all ****ed up so can't hit **** then........

You would think the main objective is to take aircraft down rather than cap flags...... Only reason we lost that last round was because of our team camping on roofs (flood zone), must have been at least 10), if only it was hardcore, could have killed them :p

The enemy team must have run out of ammo near the end as we were able to go on a nice wee rampage :D
