bfv, aus servers are fucked

this is why i play single playa games cuz no one givs a fuk about australians

>BF5

why do you you even have it on your hard drive

>>15412412

If they didn't explicitly say it, I'd have no idea this is supposed to be a WWII game.

>>15412434

>The absolute state of WWII games

You`re a fucking faggot, anon. It was an actual thing in early versions of the tiger. BF is still shit tho. >>15412434

>>15412446

> It was an actual thing in early versions of the tiger

Studying tanks is my hobby and you're either a lying faggot or it only ever existed as a concept that never found itself in actual combat

>>15412455

One fucking google search. Even the Bovington tiger used to have these (which makes sense given it's an early model.

I'm downloading this shit (see I called it shit) to go glitch exploring.

>>15412434

As the other anons said, that part is historical, actually, and deployed as both a field modification and straight from the factory. S-mine launchers were these little skeletal mount electrically triggered one-shot airburst grenade launchers- loaded with Bouncing Betty S-mines, as the name suggests- mounted at the corners of the hull to defend against rabid infantry attackers with molotovs. It ended up getting replaced with the Nahverteidigungswaffe, an internal turret roof mounted bomb launcher that acted as both a close defense system, smoke launcher, and a handy flare pistol port all in one. The Nahverteidigungswaffe got mounted on just about every late-war tank iteration (when production wasn't short) from the humble Panzer IV H/J to the big dick Tiger II, while the S-mines were more or less only an early Tiger I thing.

Fin-stabilized, probed HEAT is on the other hand complete ludicrous bullshit that has no place outside of dieselpunk fantasy or a really, really extended war where all sides are running on all cylinders and the war is stalling (even if the conflict levels out in intensity) into 1948 or something with resulting technical acceleration. The blocky sort of pseudo-digital camo is probably the most offensive thing to me, because I'm acclimated to the diversity garbage and hate it by default, but the obnoxious ahistoricity combined with their choices not being aesthetic anger me in a fresh new way. Also, what the hell is the rifle in image 5 >>15412412 here? It doesn't look like any production gun I know and doesn't quite look like any prototypes either. There are shades of the Walther A115, but the barrel & furnishings, the charging handle and the blocky hump on the side are totally wrong.

>>15412344

Oi you abo cunt, is that PS4 servers you're talking about?

>>15412500

It's a literally who SIG KE7 that was used by the chinks apparently.

>>15412513

Didn't only the werewolf units wear them

>>15412520

Do they even have a single Pacific front let alone mainland Chinese map to semi-justify this? Are the devs just being lazy cunts and paying interns to watch some Forgotten Weapons videos and just throw whatever in there to spice up the weapons roster, because they can't think of meaningful gameplay shakeups to better the game?

>>15412527

>Are the devs just being lazy cunts and paying interns to watch some Forgotten Weapons videos and just throw whatever in there to spice up the weapons roster

Isn't that what they did with BF1?

>>15412521

Think the pics are of the Dirlewanger Brigade.

Could be wrong.

>>15412521

>werewolf units

Thanks for posting this, I had some fun reading on that shit.

It's great to read up on WW2 since everyone makes Nazis sound and look like these badass psycho killers when in reality their greatest strength was fashion sense.

That whole idea was one major fuckup and pretty much them just giving up at that point. Even more funny that it was turned into a "Railroad" but for Nazis. Imagine that, Nazis having a movement to escape slavery (that's what they thought the West would do to them apparently) before niggers in america.

>>15412500

>but the obnoxious ahistoricity combined with their choices not being aesthetic anger me in a fresh new way

Boy, would Battlefield 1 obliterate your asshole.

Every faction has three tanks. A light, heavy and landship. Except, every single nation, be it the turkozoids or the Burgers, gets an FT-17 for the light, an A7V for heavy, and a Mark IV for the landship. Oh, but it doesn't end there, all of the vehicles are the exact same for all of the factions.

>>15412535

Yes. My surprise is that they'd do it a second time and so flagrantly.

>>15412600

Please don't remind me. I couldn't forget the nonfactional weapons and scads of prototypes at the same time as they pretended to be 'historical,' but I managed to forget the factionless tanks/planes. The extra obnoxious part is they could have at least had a Central Powers light tank in the form of the Sturmpanzerwagen and made some kind of fantasy invention mini K-Wagen for the landship if the historical captured Mark IV wasn't good enough, and the Entente could've had the St. Chaumond for a heavy tank, which they even added anyways as DLC.

But they didn't do that, in spite of having enough art people for all manner of dumb bullshit, they couldn't be assed to make vehicle remodels with the same or almost the same stats and mildly different hitboxes for two factions. Two to three extra vehicle models, that's it. And they couldn't be assed to do it, in spite of making four armored cars, three scout cars, two motorcycles, four attack planes, so on. And they couldn't make two or three two-pounder gun carriers either.

The fact they can't be consistently lazy is almost more infuriating than if they never tried at all, because people might have taken notice if there was zero vehicle variety and gotten mad. Instead, they'll shrug at the 'small' things and care nothing for the fact the game they're playing is both shit and substandard shit compared to what could've easily been accomplished, which still would have been shit.

>>15412623

Well, the St. Chaumond is in the game, as an all faction assault tank/tank destroyer. Even Battlefield fucking 3 and 4 had almost entirely different vehicle models for the different factions, and you had to max out the class to unlock the weapon of the opposing faction.

>>15412497

lemme know if ya find anything

>>15412623

It's funny that these games only get any attention out of pretending to be historially accurate when that's likely a small niche in the market. The amount of people that care more about the authenticity of their arsenal is easily overshadowed by those that just want to shoot cool guns at cool dudes, regardless of faction or time period.

But at the same time, were they to make it an alternate universe or a fictional world with their own tanks and weapons, it wouldn't garner as much attention from the largest chunk of their playerbase, despite solving most of their consistency problems and even letting them do much more cool stuff with it.

It's actually quite perverted, how they use historical realism to build up familiarity with the player base that doesn't really care about historical realism, they just don't like fake\fantasy weapons.

lol my fucking tank randomly despawned

>A fucking BFV thread

Where's the loli and gore dumps to scare away these faggots?

>>15412660

There are many different ones. The game is cancer.

>>15412649

>by those that just want to shoot cool guns at cool dudes

Neither the guns neither the dudes are cool. The gunplay is shallow is boring.

i wasnt able to spawn then i just got into a tank twice and it dissapeared then i hitched a anti tank gun upto a tank track truck and it flew around

>>15412412

>3rd pic

The support class looked like shit in Battleshiet 1 but now with character customization every class gets to look ridiculous too in BFV.

>5th pic

That's a good player name

>>15412568

Once you add post effects, smoke, dust and shit flying around, it's a pain in the ass to see what's going on.

I remember playing the EA Battlefront 2 demo and I kept dying on that Coruscant map because of all that nonsense (dust, leaves, doves flying around) that was blinding me.

The UI in their first Battlefront game was quite bad too, there was no indicator that you couldn't hit a target. You could have the crosshair on an enemy's head and you would fire at a rock in front of you instead. The game never acknowledged the cover system so if you do a quick strafe to throw a grenade, it falls right on your feet.

>>15412701

>implying that has ever worked since the mid-late 00's

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but people aren't scared away by loli and gore anymore. Maybe they were back when the internet was innocent and un-politicized, but these days there is no such wonder and amazement of the internet. You can thank 2007 for that, opening the floodgates of the interwebs, allowing for retards and shitskins alike to immigrate to our once favorite websites like it's the United Kingdom or Spain.

>>15412412

Just looking at this game makes me think I need new glasses.

>>15412871

>The one thing Battlefield 1 got right was class outlines

class shooters are the worst cancer

I agree.

>>15412871

BF1942 already got that nailed down, they deserve no praise.

>>15412913

Your going to cause that guy to kill himself you know that right?

Keep up the good work

>>15412568

Minimalism is just an excuse for laziness. That being said, how long does everyone think this game will retain its population?

>>15412412

You forgot that they use the Imperial German flag too which is even more confusing since Germany is actually letting people use the actual Nazi Germany flag in media now.

>>15412960

BF1 lost a major part of its playerbase within the first six months on the 3 platforms. Given the bad PR surrounding BFV and the low pre-order numbers, I doubt that they will have a lot of people. That said, there are rumors that they might make the

>>15413010

shit I clicked on new reply by mistake

they might make the battle royale mode F2P but it doesn't really make sense.

>>15413036

It's crazy how all these people think they are going to steal players from these other super popular games when their own games are fucking dying because they keep pissing everyone off.

>>15413036

You didn't know? Even the new CoD will have that shit mode.

Even the redpilled anons fail to realize that these games are not made for the progressive crowd. BFV doesn't seek to humiliate masculinity because of feminism, even if that's a nice bonus to them.

No, their real goal is to present your invaders with a comfortable story where they've always been boss in your country. Any muslim and nigger playing this in Europe will get 100% convinced that his kind has always been there. This makes them less likely to leave, and gives them ammo to claim that the country is theirs alone.

>>15413145

It's called Swedish and American propaganda.

>>15413161

I know it's propaganda, what I'm saying is that it's directed to the occupier.

I could see something like "putting some oil on the barrel of your gun reduces resistance and lets your bullets go faster" or some other dumb excuse for an upgrade like this.

Like brazilian slum thugs keeping their guns and bullets behind the refrigerator so they are warm and the gunpowder never goes bad.

But having something that generic, basic and stupid instead is incredibly lazy and I'm sure it doesn't sit well with "historically realistic" guys who would rather have different calibers with different effects on range, speed and damage instead of dumb shit like this.

>>15417373

It looks like they've switched to the CoD progression system.
