I quickly skimmed over the patch notes, but I didn't see immediately something like the "medals get reverted to last week" fix. I really hope that I just overlooked that... :bigfrown:
You just go into custom games, and create custom game (at the bottom). it will bring you to a server setup, and then a checkout once you try to launch it.

spensive!
bolt guns only is an option! 200% tickets is an option. all the hard core stuff is. No hero classes is too.
No kicking, or player control = nope.

I'm curious as to why exactly hardcore mode is taking so long to implement. It honestly looks like all the options are there in the custom server thing (and have been since the beta).
Turn off 3d spotting, killcam, crosshairs, increase damage. Bada-boom.
I was really hoping to see some kind of fix for the massive glare spots that happen. I forget which map it is exactly, it's an urban map with a set of bridges around the "center" area and train tracks running beneath it.
More often then not it turns the entire screen a deep blue tint when you look in certain directions, Or better yet, you get a massive yellow/green glare in that direction instead which even shows up on the spawn screen. Makes the map 100% unplayable for me which sucks because I really enjoy it.
So. Joystick works well. Just needed an bigger deadspot and higher sensitivity. The only problem is the yaw. It will only map a certain way when you twist the stick, and it feels backwards to me. Twist right turns you left and vice versa. Maddening.
I did discover if you hold down the zoom for the bombsight and keep it pressed, it will stay centered on the drop spot and track it while you fly away. Which is cool.

So I ambushed this artillery truck that was parked outside of C on Empire's Edge, popped one AT rocket and as I'm pulling out the nades he starts driving away immediately.. over the hills, behind buildings... I'm thinking, where the hell is he going? The guy just took off, it was just uncanny. Hauled ass all the way back to G, so far he was just a pixel on my screen.
I'm kinda amused and look at the scoreboard; 17-1. Oh.
yeah, thats how you artillery truck. As soon as something damages you, you just leave.
So what you're saying is that howitzer tank is best tank for anti-artillery truck duty since a single round will asplodify all non-tanks (and even tanks get immobilized from 1 round and will only take a total of 2 (light tank) or 3 (heavy) to polish them off).

Yeah, theyre all "armoured vehicles", which can really suck when some moron takes an AA truck on a map with no enemy planes. Still, the basic artillery truck is easily on par with the other tanks in terms of damage output in a skilled operator, so they make some sense. Mortar version is pretty garbage, and AA version is situational (especially now that it has reduced range)
I wish all the howitzer type cannons (light tank, artillery truck, field gun) could fire indirectly with the minimap, or at least had some sort of range finder to help with arcing plunging shots.
Anyone know what the deal with the server browser is? It only lists like 50 servers at once, which makes actually seeing what all these custom servers are really difficult. I had to filter by name "hardcore" to actually get the servers I wanted to show up (there is a lot though! yay!).
*edit after 5 minutes of hardcore conquest* hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss thats the good stuff
I'm not at home but my buddies are saying it not in?
Dice not giving it it's own play list?
I saw a kid get handed a JB poster by who I presume was his parents outside my store today....he tore it in half infront of his horrified parents.....There's hope for our youth yet!
go into server browser, filter by name, type 'hardcore'.
it's not the 'official' hardcore thats in the custom game list, but its still hardcore rulesets. Afaik, the official hardcore will still be coming soon (no idea why its taking so long, everything it needs is there)
Just cut down 5 guys within 10 seconds in a hallway with an mg15. Life is good again.
all the servers Ive played still pop up a friendly player icon when you aim at them, you just have to take a fraction of a second to identify your target. Also, you really do learn to tell enemy shapes and intent of direction. Not as easily as something like RO, where each faction has its own animation set, but I've been doing alright so far telling the helmets apart.

1) I've had issues where friendly player icons don't show up (admittedly, this mostly happens when the teammate is helming a deployable or stationary emplacement (mortar, AA gun, field gun, etc...). 2) Until I hear verbal cues, I have no idea what faction I'm on in the first 5 minutes of a round. And 3) what do I look like, a guy who pays attention to the fashion accessories of the different factions in the game? Alls I knows is that I sometimes have neat and shiny buttons on my sleeves.
edit - and yes, I recognize the irony in that last statement given my forum and in-game avatar/emblem.

So far I am liking the changes. Except for a couple things. I don't understand why the customize soldier options is wonky. I can't take the bayonet off my shotgun from the menu customization and I can't select any of my hellfighter options, shot gun or pistol. They don't even show up. I also think the medals are still a little borked. I'm working on a medal I've previously earned. I also wished they'd nerfed tailgunners along with the AA. As a pilot, the AA nerf is great. It can still get you but it just exploding nearby doesn't send your plane out of control anymore.
Seems good overall, haven't used my shotgun much yet, been on maps that favor more range. I also seem to have the best anti-vehicle luck with mines and AT grenades. Man I'm getting pretty ok with those mines! So satisfying. Almost to rank 10 assault!
So I downloaded the new patch on PS4. It seems they fixed some things and broke others. My audio now randomly drops out for brief moments. I thought at first it was due to a explosion going off right beside me (realism sorta thing) but no, it just goes quiet at random times. Maybe my PS4 has PTSD.
Also when quitting a server it now takes so long to load the main menu that it's faster to quit the game completely and relaunch it.

I promise I'm not trying to be all "PC Master Race" or whatever here, but the addition of the quit button has increased my enjoyment of this game by 50%. It has been significantly faster for me to hit quit then it would otherwise take to load into a match and then quit.

So i pinned a medal for support last night. Its quickly turning into a fun time. I already had 45000 points into it, mostly using the Lewis Gun Suppressive. I just kept it rolling last night with the same gun and its much more accurate than it was. Its great being part of a push and just unloading half the magazine into an enemy position. Bonus points if its the spawn location.
It was a mix between average matches and good. And after losing my first round of the night, then immediately switching teams the next, we rolled every match for the next 3 hours.
Almost hit level 2 support. Didnt make it because i had to drop as an assault from time to time in matches to take out tanks that no one could seen to pin down.
The only thing i dont like about the support is the lack of real firepower against vehicles. Its just so nice as an assault to whip out some land mines or the rocket gun.

Can I speak to you as a follower of the "Holy Church of the All-Powerful Limpet Charge?" You are so close to walking a path of righteousness, but it seems you don't know the true glory that awaits if you just choose to use the limpet charge.
@WolveSight speaks the gospel. It's tough to use the limpet because you have to expose yourself since you can't throw it far and it's a timed explosive, but when it latches right, they definitely notice.

Limpets work on vehicles?
I see a guy in a building. I toss in a limpet, move to flank opposite the boom.
I see a guy in cover- I toss a limpet.
I see a man in a field- I toss a limpet.
An enemy tries to limpet my tank? counter limpets
Do you know the joys of standing 10 feet from a sniper who is unawares of the limpet you just placed on him?
I am approaching a limpet service star...
And to turn to actual vehicles its all about the art of approaching -> sometimes you have to trust that they are not looking at you even though you are wide open and running straight at them...
The sheer joy of you running full bore at a tank, it seeing you but needing to reload so they begin back pedaling.... the sheer joy of a tank running from a limpet filled man in fear....

So hit markers is a server setting now, so this is probably why yesterday I would sometimes have no hit markers while using the bomber's forward gun.
Edit: Some guy complained on Reddit about lacking server control and a DICE guy said this:
Heya! Thanks for the feedback! We are aware of this and are already working on a few additions for Rent a Server!
Admin control.
VIP queue.
Increasing total maps in the rotations
Custom player counts
More granular weapon restrictions
Custom Banners
Map Vote
Sniper only
And much more... I hope to be able to share more as times goes by

I am unimpressed with limpets. I slapped one on a tank last night. 39 damage. Weeeeee.
I can slap down a mine just the same and blow that fucker up no problem. I can unload 3-4 rockets into a light tank and take him out from a seafe distance. I almost feel like support should have the dynamite.

Limpet Charges are not for the faint of heart. The timed detonation means you don't have to live long enough to hit the plunger like with TNT.
Black lives matter.

Well the point was support has options, not support is better AT than assault. I do love me some AT mines though and have come to not prefer the AT rocket over mines/nades.

sand so suez walked out of our lives forever. Outtoman maps- you also need to get in the corner. you get lesser rotations.
