Have they made it any less casual than the beta?
Anyone know how long you can play with Premier? Or is it over this weekend?
I'm really trying to like this game but my old eyes are having a hard time seeing the opposing force.
Welcome to war?

Well in the beta it felt like all they cared about WAS TTK - like they balanced weapons by tweaking the damage per second, not by tweaking the handling and recoil. It shouldn't take 3-4 rounds of .303 British from a bren gun to kill someone, it also shouldn't be possible to have any kind of accurate fire shooting offhand, and you really shouldn't be able to sprint as fast or as far as someone with a gun that weighs half as much as your 20+ pound LMG. Instead they tweak the DPS to make it roughly equivalent to an assault rifle... THAT's what I consider casual - no thought required into HOW you should use a class to support your team, just which gun kills faster. And in the beta it felt a lot like BF1 - a lot of lone-wolf types and no real teamwork.How was the beta "casual"? TTK in the game is pretty quick.
OMG ROFL tanks in BFV are a freaking JOKE. Besides the slow turret speed and limited ammo, you shoot at someones feet and it does ZERO damage to them LOL. And the tank machine gun is so pathetic, bullets spray everywhere besides where you are aiming. You literally have to shoot someone in the FACE with a tank round to kill them.
As a long time BF tank player, this game is pathetic.
I literally have tens of thousands of kills playing armor in BF series and this is what I am seeing in BFV tanks:
1. They move extremely slow.
2. The turrets turn extremely slow, even more so in 1st person. Killing infantry around your tank is almost impossible, meaning you are forced to use it as a stand-off weapon.
3. You can't reliably use third person tank reticle as it doesn't line up with the 1st person in-tank view. So you constantly have to bounce between third person (to have any type of situational awareness at all) to 1st person in-tank to actually shoot something.
4. Main gun tank rounds almost do nothing to infantry. You may as well be shooting confetti at them. Main tank gun only seems to be worthwhile versus other vehicles and some buildings. You have to basically use the machine gun exclusively to kill people, and it's not even that powerful in that regard. Has lower TTK than some infantry machine guns.
5. Tanks take extreme damage from about everything infantry lob at you besides small arms fire.
6. Limited ammo is a bit silly. Less ammo in a GAME than a tank would carry in real life.
7. Ridiculously restrictive main gun elevation, making shooting up at aircraft or down into valleys arduous.
A MASSIVE departure from armor play in earlier BF games like BF3. Basically; tanks in BF5 are slow moving machine-gun platforms with a main gun only used to kill other tanks. But if main tank guns can't be used for anything else besides killing other tanks, you basically are worthless and there to nullify other tanks so that they don't shoot infantry with their slow moving machine-gun platform. Very linear and boring game-play. I cannot believe they made tanks even worse than BF1, I didn't think that would be possible.
This game will have low-replay-ability and server will be dead come spring. DICE continues to close the skill gap with gimmicks to appease noobs. Glad I only wasted $15 on it.
You have to get a few upgrades. They get better. I outfitted my light tanks with an anti infantry cannon and it shreds infantry apart, and I also got an upgrade that lines your tank with explosives so if enemy infantry try to swarm you you pop that thing and it kills everyone 10 feet around you.
Armor is powerful enough IMO once you get a fully upgraded vehicle depending on whatever situation you are upgrading it for. Although I will generally say the big slow moving armor like the Churchill/tiger tank could use a buff against infantry based AT weapons given how easy they are to hit. I'll also broadly agree that HE tank rounds don't do enough splash damage to infantry right now. There needs to be a reason to use HE over AP - And right now there isn't.
Yea not sure about the complaning about tanks. They are still very powerful, just not as OP as they use to be which is a good thing. And the turret speed is fine with me. It always looked silly watching a turret move as fast as someone could move it. Either way Tanks are still very powerful.
Exactly! I think the tanks are fine. You can still be effective, you just can't drive around the map like you are invincible. I always thought it was silly in BF1 how tanks were almost god mode. Turret speed is realistic, driving speed is realistic to the period. You need to be smart in armor.
Game deleted. That is one of the worst games I've ever played.
