*** The Official Battlefield 5 thread***

- Damage to bombers is pathetic. Seriously, BOOST THE DAMAGE OF AA TO BOMBERS!!!! Stationary AA is completely useless against a bomber and you'll down a fighter if you're very lucky as most of them are blocked by terrain.
- Tank round damage on infantry is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in a game. Hit a guy directly in the face with a tiger shell? 80 damage.... Splash damage is even worse! This is a complete joke and needs hot fixing.
- Medic weaponry is complete trash until late level unlocks it seems. I know they are designed for closer combat but they aren't even good at that seen as any support will completely mince you in a 1v1.
- frag grenade damage - complete joke just like tank rounds. Won't actually kill anyone unless they pick it up and cram it into their rear end.

I think the main problem is weapons and vehicles need to be specced accordingly. My Churchill has the 90mm howitzer and mine clearing charges and is an infantry mincer. Not as good against tanks mind but still capable at close range.

I do agree Medic weapons are far the weakest as they are very situational. The second unlock is a decent weapon though and once upgraded is a beast on urban maps with its 50 round mag and high rpm.

Again a fully upgraded Spitfire/109 can make mince meat of a bomber. Problem with this game is balanced on upgrades. Maybe they should do something for the AA as it is obviously at a disadvantage once a bomber is upgraded. Maybe they should give AA and Stationary weapons their own upgrade trees.
 
Oh I'll avoid then

Not one problem for me. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Would recommend.

Issues I saw:

- Objectives appearing outside of the world map so couldn't be completed without a checkpoint reload
- Animations getting stuck on reload, so the gun would be stuck vertically taking up half the screen
- Enemies reanimating after death, so standing back up then falling over again (hard to believe you didn't come across this, I must've seen it 50 times)
- Enemies appearing out of thin air
- Enemies disappearing into thin air
- Same as above but for vehicles
- Not a bug per se, but absolutely laughable AI
- Texture pop in, abysmal water graphics to the point of it being an actual bug
- Ridiculously high scroll sensitivity when looking through binoculars (again, not sure how you didn't come across this given DICE have said it's a known bug and will be fixed next patch)

  • War Stories
    • Binocular zoom has very high sensitivity
      • The mouse sensitivity is too high when zooming in with the binoculars

      • Status: Fix coming in an upcoming update.

More weapons will come later. But why no love for the Sten? I think it's great.

Both of these are pure Sten rounds.

That devastation result... 1 point!

Also, anybody else get this bug? Multiples of the same gun appearing in loadout.

It's "okay" but it works well as an all rounder compared to some more situational weapons (and there's a lot to be said for that). I am all about the gewehr for the assault class as my go to, and the m1907 for more up close stuff.

Still haven't figured out how to spawn into a bomber on a squad mate. Is this bugged or am I missing something

Most likely playing noobs. I guess you never came face to face with the 1907! My go to gun ATM as it just rips. Already got golden parts on most of it
 
Ok so i bought the Premium Pass thing for this, i got a ton of freebie content it seems, looks like outfits and some weapon addons? I have a few questions from a BF5 noob, last BF i played was BF4.

Anyhow do the weapon addons do anything or are they purely cosmetic things?
Im guessing i can just design how my dude looks by changing the stuff he's wearing etc to make him "Stand out" etc, none of this gear actually gives any stat increases etc right?
Do you only start with access to the first class? im guessing others are unlocked as you "rank up" ?
Should i turn down a lot of the graphical detail to make it easier to spot people? ala PUBG etc?

I had a quick blast this morning before work, got through 2 rounds on some 3 day thing? anyhow it booted me towards the end of the 2nd round, is this game unstable? ive been playing MMORPGS for years and very rarely get booted from servers, so i was surprised this morning that i got disconnected, i checked and it definitely didnt seem to be my end.

I am rubbish at this game though, i always see someone and shoot them but die horribly before i even mange to dent them it seems, is the weapon balancing out of whack? it seems like the machine gun you start with is utter garbage, but i seem to get killed by people with rifles etc a lot, Snipers maybe?

Overall the game looks fun, and it will hopefully be enjoyable to play :) just need to figure out the basics first.
 
just bit the bullet and bought this, hope its better than bf1 (hated it) and hope its a tad more tactical, I know there will still be a lot of headless chickens running around but hope its not quite as bad as bf1 lol

waiting for it to download now but going to take nearly 2 hrs to download,cant wait to give it a blast to see how its changed

Premium pass doesn't exist for BF5... or am I wrong:confused:

Much better than BF1 in my opinion (I also didn't like BF1). Gunplay is back to requiring actual skill compared to the spray n pray techniques of BF1, and all of the teamplay additions they've made are great - squad members able to revive, no 3D spotting, less ammo, no health regen, fortifications etc.
 
I've done 38 hours now but now I can't deploy when in a game and my classes/weapons are not showing just a space? Any ideas? No assignments either.
 
This.

There's just no real flexibility with the medic class at the moment, I've barely played it - it would be nice to have some ranged weapons as an alternative to the SMG's.

I don't think they really need it. As medic, you should really be in the thick of it. If there's anything out of range then smoke them out.

Sounds promising :) will be having my first blast in 5 mins

Yup, got these two. I must admit I had assumed the high scroll rate for binoculars was me as I'd just been playing about with the zoom slide bars and thought I'd done one too much.
I had 2 enemies appear next to each other on one mission but again I thought I'd got myself to a position I shouldn't have been by trying to be sneaky and just happened to see the spawn mechanic.

Apart from that no other glitches.

Perhaps I should play them through again. I enjoyed them enough that I want to try for the achievements.
