I swear SHG's reddit "community manager" is right down there with Bungie's reps for being absolutely useless as far as actual communication with the playerbase goes. I did not think this was even possible.

Tips for WAR mode. If you are planting a bomb on a wall and need it to blow up asap, plant it, then shoot it to detonate instantly.
Conversely on defense, you can hear a bomb being planted if you are on the other side of a wall. You can shoot through the wall to prevent the bomb plant and detonate it to kill the planting soldier.
Walls can be built partway to use as cover.

I prestiged my Airborne last night. So I guess I just have an MP40 now? Does it stay unlocked through Rank prestige?
Working on Tier 3 of my Bazooka calling card mission.
Oh, and I got a shiny black and gold M1A1! Luckily got that drop the same level that I unlocked M1A1 access.
So I'm having a problem on the PS4 - matches are not starting. I'll sit on the team screen with 12/12 players and the countdown will disappear and then.. nothing will happen. Anybody else have this problem?

Worst CoD launch ever. I've given up and started playing Assassin's Creed. I'll come back to this game later when they sort this shit out.

I made a concerted effort to do this this morning since there was a challenge to shoot down 5 things, and got better at it. It's harder than in previous games but it's pretty easy once you practice a little. You can definitely get screwed if the plane spawns all the way across the map, but eh. I just don't know if giving up your perk to take a launcher is worth it.

Yeah that's the other thing too. Being able to take only one perk/basic training makes it a tough call to choose Launcher over the other perks. If anything that's one of my only issues with the gameplay. I miss being able to really mix and match perks.
I want to have a shotgun class that runs like an airborne, and resupplies lethals. I am thinking I may try an Airborne with the Concussed perk so instead of resupplying lethals, I start with 2.
I also just realized I need to probably turn off my aim assist for this game.

Hitting planes really depends on the map and the type of plane.
If I can remember, I'll start trying to take screenshots of in game distance and how I aim if it'll help you guys out. Mechanical is also a crack shot.
Some quick tips, if they plane is pretty low/you're close (so you have a big target) I think you only need to lead (with bazooka) as far as the edge of the viewfinder (so if the plane is at the left edge to enter your view, you will probably hit it).
For medium distance planes, it's a bit harder to judge. I feel the longer distance shots you need to aim up a little higher than you might think for it to connect (assuming lead is correct).
...and then I realize instead of taking screenshots I can just record the bloody video of how I aim. I'll do that! @Mechanical record some stuff so we can help these soldiers out!
I thought choosing a primary outside of that division's type ( i.e. a shotgun for infantry) voided the perks for that division but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Urgh. This game... I like it, but man. I am getting crazy lag spikes where people are rubber banding across the screen. I made some videos of it. I have 300mb internet and my PS4 is connected at 120mbps over wifi but I guess I gotta go wired...
Yeah man, for twitch-type games like this, I would definitely not be playing over WiFi.

You still get the divisional perks, but you don't get the division weapon specific thing (ie bayonet, silencer, bipod, incendiary shells, or sharpshooter)
Went 17-3 with the double barreled shotgun on the trench map (pont... Something?). Felt good. Wanted to save a clip or screenshot but the game fucked up at the end of the match and also apparently ate the video so that felt less good. Still though, double barreled flame shotgun w/ hip fire+range attachments is a beast on the right maps (and with the right connection natch).

So dudes I'm chiefly a Battlefield player. The only other multi shooter I've been major into was Titanfall 2. I also greatly prefer WW1/WW2 to any modern setting. I know CoD is typically more fast paced, but does this one slow it down any? Does anyone who plays both BF and CoD play? I get that vehicles in CoD are limited and used in a different manner, and I'm cool with that. Mostly, I don't know how the gunplay feels, I don't know how well they did WW2 weapons, how well they nailed the atmosphere, etc. Can anyone offer me some knowledge?
If it matters, I'll likely get it, and probably on PS4 just because any shooter that isn't Counterstrike or the Battlegrounds game just dies extremely quickly.

It's a lot more like the pre-Advanced Warfare pacing, so while you'll still be moving/killing/dying quickly, it's not quite as fast-paced as Titanfall's infantry combat. Pretty close, though.

I wouldn't come looking for any kind of historical accuracy with weapons or anything else. It's COD with a saving Private Ryan skin. It's fun if you like COD, if you don't like COD it's unlikely to change your mind since it's the same thing over again but this time more brown (because of history).
Very true. COD is always going to be COD. I swapped over from Destiny because right now the pvp in that game is atrocious. Bungie really broke what didn't need to be fixed pvp-wise.
At least in COD, when I shoot mans, they die. Sometimes even instantly.

Hey man, I use a wired connection. All joking aside, I tend to have decent luck with connections, Open NAT and all that. I do have moments of clear lag where I'm not even firing on the killcam when on my side I got hitmarkers. But that's also a staple of COD. The game is fast enough that a couple lag deaths here and there aren't enough to sour the whole thing.
On a more gameplay-oriented topic. I honestly don't see how Armored division Bipod is better than almost anything else on the other classes. Plus the intrinsic perks are underwhelming compared to faster sprint, faster strafe, resupply from kills etc. I'm gonna prestige it to get the prestige gun, but after that, probably not gonna touch it again.

Created some quick gifs of bazooka takedowns, but only at a couple different distances. I did get at least two cross map shots, but forgot to hit record while I was hooting and hollering. Close plane: front of edge of plane is within targeting ring, plane moving perpendicular overhead. Close-Mid: front edge of plane within targeting ring, plane moving away at angle. Double fun: almost half of planes within targeting ring, plane moving away at angle.
I feel like last night I was getting a lot of those closer recon planes, so it was easier to get hits. I'll try to record some more at distance if I get some, hopefully these help some of you with your aiming!
OHHHHHH, the outer ring is what you meant. I thought the inner reticle lol. This helps.
Still dunno about Launcher though.

It's very circumstantial. Like, in War that class is half-worthless since there is nothing in the air. And even some regular games the enemy team just may not have/earn any planes for you to shoot.

I was on track to prestige last night but then got like a dozen junk matches in a row where it felt like I was half a second behind everybody... Like, I'd be watching a doorway then have a dude come through and oneshot me before I even react where on the killcam he just kind of casually walks around the corner and hits me 5 times while I'm just standing there counting the clouds in the sky or something.

What I'm noticing is that for most shots (even somewhat long distance), having the plane at the left edge of the targeting view is a pretty good bet for landing your shot.
Also, here are all 6 shots in an album.

Take the Panzerschreck instead for that. Less accurate, but WAY better at killing infantry.

Yes the bipod seems awful. Maybe defending in a war match it might be alright on certain parts? Even then you'd probably be better taking something else.
Edit: if you play a lot of objective modes flak jacket is really good, so maybe that's worth taking.
HQ breaks and gives you the intro quests which are impossible to complete. Hold off on prestiging, i hear this may be different also depending on console or PC.

Every single game where I do well breaks at the end and disconnects me instead of going to the after game scoreboard. I appear to still be getting the XP and stuff, but it doesn't seem to count as a win and it's annoying to never be able to actually see when I get first on the winning team.
Also my soldier's face keeps getting reset to default white guy over and over again. Look game if you didn't want me to be a black lady you shouldn't have given me the choice in the first place.
Also there's all kinds of dumb broken challenge stuff right now.
Also I still get disconnected midgame just all the time.
Just venting about this broken game don't mind me. It's just getting me down because I think the game is fun and I want to play it.
I finally sat down to play this and it's a lot of fun. Seems like it should of been held back for another month, but I'm sure it will be fixed at some point.
So for the two things I don't like is the fact that you can't craft non-epic gear, and the lack of variety in the weapon (there's only 4 mgs, snipers and shotguns. Only 3 pistols)
On a more personal note, third choice of maps and guns is confusing me. They added some real odd balls in while missing some classics. I don't mind the oddballs, but there's not enough of them to make me forget about the "must haves". It's basically stuck in a weird middle ground imo. Like they added a Polish Semi Auto Sniper that had a total production run of 150 units while skipping past the Mosin Nagant and G43. And Japan gets a mention with the Type 100 while France and Italy get a big pile of nothing? The maps are no different. We get one East front map, while the Pacific and African theaters get nothing. However, there is a battleship and London map. Don't get me wrong I'm okay with those but it seems odd that they left out some stuff while barely mentioning others.
Okay, I somewhat take back that Bipod is useless. It actually makes your reload massively faster on LMGs when you have the Bipod activated. It makes the reload tremendously better and even more so with Hustle, whereas by itself, Hustle doesn't help the "raw" reload much.
