This game is really fun. Have had a lot of good competitive conquest matches that come down to the wire. I'm running mostly support class. I'm not a great shooter but consistently rank in the top 10 because I play the objective/capture & defend points.

Fighting for B,C and D in the little town is fast paced and fun and I spend most of my time spawning there. If I can grab a tank I'll run the railway and try and keep hold of G,D and A.

Suck at flying so I hope they have the rest range like BF4 does

The planes suck for anything but dog fighting, they have no use for anti tank or infantry attacks.

I think they need to bump up the damage on the bombs to make them a threat to the ground. I did have a match last night where the other team owned the air battle and was able to have an impact, they were decently effective at harassing points A, D, G and E and helped knock out some of our tanks

Just read that too. Excited to see what the finished product will play like in a little over a month.

I wonder if the Zeplin is basically the Behemoth train on a different map.

I've tried to figure that out as well. Would be cool to have it be involved similarly to the Walker Assault game mode from battlefront as well.

This is my first dive into Battlefield games. My experience in FPS is limited to Halo, then COD, then back to Halo when COD went off the deep end.


ETA: I misread your post. I played Battlefront and know what you are talking about now.

My complaint about the planes is tail gunners usually can't keep a good bead on anything because of the planes changing directions so much.

I actually got killed by a bomb the other day. I couldn't believe it. I was actually impressed.

I'm a little undecided on the way they handle vehicle spawns. Ok, so you can spawn in a tank from the menu - and that player chooses what type of tank he wants. Cool for the player, potentially bad for the team. More than once, I saw a freshly spawned landship with only a driver because that particular player was able to spam the A button to get one over someone actually picking a tank load out (and who likely knows what to do with one)

Sniping is top notch in this game. Love it.


Some nice shots!!
After watching a highlight video of someone sniping the pilot out of a plane, I will throw a shot at planes every once in awhile. Hit a few planes and actually hit the pilot once but didn't kill him.

You don't know how to use them. Get the fighter plane with the trench guns. Useless against tanks but I went 34-2 just by flying around, establishing air superiority and then taking out enemies capturing points. Fun as shite.

They've confirmed that each map has a special unit. Some maps have trains. Some have zeppelins. Idk what else they have in store. But I can't wait

Do you change the distance on your rifle much or just keep it at the 75m and adjust your aim accordingly?

I didn't even know you could Change the distance lol. I would just leave it anyway so I could see how far the bullet drop is and adjust that way. It's more challenging than BF4 I think.
