I think I'm going to give up with the Assault class for a bit and play as Support with the BAR. I picked up a dead medics kit last night when I ran out of ammo. No idea what gun he was using. It had 10 in the mag and a weird red cross hair in the scope. I thought it was a Mondragon, I think I got a kill with it but it doesn't show in my stats


I tried out the MP16 trench. I forgot that it has iron sights. Didn't like it at all so I went back to the optical


I played really badly last night

The Medic level 10 gun is poor at the moment it only holds 5 rounds and it takes 3 bullets to kill someone unless you get a headshot and has quite a long reload time so if you come across 2 enemies they either need to have lost some health or you need to get a headshot and not miss any shot to kill them both, Seems kinda pointless when the Mondragon is a 3 shot kill anywhere and has 10 rounds.

As far as I know the Cei Rigotti and the Mondragon are the only ones that hold 10 in the mag and I'm sure they use the same reticles for optical. (you do realise there are different optics you can select for each gun right so there a 2 iron sights to choose from and 4 for optical etc), The only ones I can think of that are likely to be different than the norm are the Selbstlader Marksman ones but then that holds 26 rounds not 10.

I've been level 10 medic for a long time but have never tried the level 10 gun

My mates plays as a medic but uses the Mondragon sniper. So he's basically a scout with his own medic pack :/

I was using the Hellriegel again last night. I like it again now.
I'm level 10 on all my classes now except sniper. I'm level 0 in that class
Tried the medics top gun last night. What a load of rubbish

Well I got to level 10 in assault and unlocked the Hellriegel, Yeah it's safe to say it's still good, I've played 3 rounds with it and have 84 kills with it. Would of had more but as I usually used the Automatico I'm not used to having many rounds so was reloading when I still had 30ish ammo left and was getting shot, When I remembered I didn't need to reload for days when I went on some flanks I was gunning down 4 or 5 at a time, At one point the kill feed was all me and Hellriegel kills lol.

I was talking to my mate last night who is level 88 and has a KD ratio of 1.62. I was saying that aim assist is too powerful and drags your gun across the screen, sometimes away from the target. He has turned his off. I'm going to give it ago tonight

I've set my kill feed to only squad members

Are you playing on PC?

I've got my kill feed set to everyone so I can see when a tank scrub (saw a level 80 something with 150 service tank stars yesterday) is wreaking and needs to be taken out.

My KD is 1.68 and going up fast as I'm averaging around 2 KD now. stats here

I'm on XB1 ( I played BF2 and BF3 on PC as well as XBox360 but BF4 wouldn't work on my PC I just got a crash message every time I tried to play it even though the specs were well above the recommended and had to get a refund so from then on it's been console only)

The only issue I've had issues with aim assist is when I'm aiming at one guy in distance and another runs across in front of him and it snaps onto them instead, I don't think I've ever had aim assist drag gun across the screen away from a target, They've toned it down so it barely follows the target now, Have you any videos of it happening or can you record it when it does.

The 'trick' is to get the enemy close to the centre of the screen BEFORE you aim down sight and then even if you don't get on the enemy right away it's close enough that it sticks to the enemy and you can shoot them quick, From what I've seen nearly everyone else when they see an enemy zooms in FIRST even if they are no where near the centre of the screen and so don't get the benefit of aim assist right away and so have to drag the cursor across to the enemy from quite far away so the guy who centres the enemy before aiming down sight has the enemy on target early and wins almost every time, I forgot about this to begin with and had a KD of 1.2ish since remembering like I said I'm around 2 KD now.

If you want to level up scout by the way but don't like bolt action rifles ( I saw you say you were level 10 on all classes apart from scout) then you can use the M1903 Experimental it's basically a medic gun with less damage but it has next to no recoil at all so you can just spam the trigger fast as the added bonus of scout is you can put down flares on flag etc and any enemys close appear on mini map so you know exactly where they are and so most times you will have the drop on them (unless they are just camping stairs etc when it's 50/50.

Last night I managed to kill to cavalry soldiers in one go, they were crossing each other at the time and I bagged the pair

I'll have a go with the M1903 Experimental. The only reason my scout class has any points at all is because I sat in a tank for a round and just collected them that way.

I've had the aim assist track people that were behind walls. It's sort of ok as it helps you see through walls but I'm going to try without it. I don't have any videos

I like playing with the Tankgewehr M1918 when I can get hold of it. The sawn off shotgun is great fun too

Well a few days later and my Kd has gone from 1.68 to 1.78 and my Hellriegel now has the most kills of all my guns. I also unlocked the Martini-Henry which is quite difficult to run and gun with now it's been nerfed a little as if you need a follow up shot you have to wait around a week for the reload. (Still enjoy using it tho as when you get a kill with it it feels so satisfying).

There are a few things that annoy me in game like the high level tank [censored] who have so many service stars in the tank because they are useless on foot.
The odd sniper that sits way way way way back in the map trying to snipe someone miles away and ends up with 1 kill and 12 deaths.
The most annoying thing for me tho is the matchmaking (or possibly team stacking) in the game, It appears to be awful as the games are rarely close it's normally a easy win for one team or the other.
Take a game earlier for example my team loses by around 300 tickets the only ones who did anything for my team was Myself, A mate and then another squad who were a clan of 3, Everyone else had a negative KD and going by the points they had were not taking flags (on conquest) either.
So what happens.... the next round the game starts and the clan of 3 are put on the other team with all the top players from the previous round staying on the opposite team as well so my team gets smashed again and it's literally only Myself and my mate who are taking any flags at all. Now I'm pretty sure they were moved to the other team by matchmaking as I'm always one of the first people in and waiting for people to ready up and it already had them on the other team before the start of the match.

So 1) It either needs to fix the matchmaking as if it takes 3 out of the 5 best players of the losing team and puts them onto the team that won easy then that's just stupid, or 2) If they were able to all swap to the opposite team at the start and basically team stack then they need to stop allowing team changing unless it's to party up with players in your BF party. (I'm 90% sure they didn't all swap to the other team tho as like I said I'm always sat there waiting for people to ready up to start the round and they were already on the opposite team) as it gets boring pretty quick when you are one of the only ones on your team doing anything or even worst you are on the team that's destroying the other team and you basically either wait at the nearest flag to the enemys base or basically camp outside the enemy base, Both of those are very boring to me.
