Anyone else having really awful luck finding low ping DLC servers? Every single one I join I'm usually hovering between 75-85.

Some of these unlock requirements are ludicrous. I can deal with the grindy "Kill 50 people with [Boring Gun]" but others like having to use a specific gadget, "Kill 30 people with the Rifle Grenade FRG" are just tedious. Or the ones that rely basically on sheer luck "Destroy 2 planes with a LMG".
Dice keeps putting these dumb-assed unlock requirements in the mainline games knowing it makes players do dumb shit instead of playing the damn objectives.
Welcome to what it's like for me to play battlefield the last few years lol. That would be considered a "great" connection for me. Mine gets as bad as 250-300 fairly frequently.
I don't even know how you would destroy planes with an LMG without a squad in a fighter plane chewing it up and then letting you get the final kill.
The do such minimal damage that it's basically luck if you hit it right place right time. Stupid.

Welp the fun didn't last long, as soon as weekend rolls I become my true self again, a bottom 5% player who can't get better no matter what. Score wise I'm apparently a top man, so I guess this game is truly altruistic in nature. Sacrifice fun to make the team win.

I have the game since 3 full weeks now and i gotta say, I<m getting better and I sometimes am in the positive KD ratio. I even was on the Best sqad twice in a Row. Getting better at the game, knowing what is the best strategy to use given a specific time of the match. Overall happy with how i'm playing now.
it use to be game like 4-12 in the kills department. now it's more like 21-23 on Operations...
good enough for me!
Play Operations on Galicia as the defenders, hang back a little bit so you don't get domed instantly by a sniper way off in the distance (or even better, set up in one of the trenches or craters).
As for a weapon, you'll want something that has good or great bullet velocity, decent minimum damage, and is either accurate as hell (Benet-Mercié or BAR telescopic) or you can just dump a ridiculous amount of shots with relatively good accuracy (MG15 LW or Suppressive, and ironically both of the MG14/17 variants). Don't be that guy who tries using the Lewis for this, it's trash.
Wait until some idiot spawns in a bomber or a heavy bomber, and you can hose them easily. Ignore fighters or attack planes as they are both too mobile and pilots have a tendency to focus on you if you don't take them out fast enough.
If you have a friend to play with who's good with the Tankgewehr, have them hit the bombers two or three times so you only have to do 50% / 25% damage. It's what I did yesterday with a friend, he managed to get both airplane kills in about 3-4 minutes this way.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it!

Perfect Landing and Complete Warrior say hi
Tsaritsyn is a truly terrible map in 64 Conquest.
The team balancing for this game is still some of the worst bullshit I have ever encountered in an FPS. It's amazingly horrid in so many matches. Smart players just immediately spot a bad team and find a new server. I ain't got time to waste with a bunch of noobs in 30m games lol. Reminds me of Warhawk sometimes, but without the great and close games.
I hardly ever play a close game in BF1. It's basically my only major problem with the game.

I had a game last night where my team and the other were neck and neck after 700 hundred tickets each. Nice flow to the game and instant pace. Suddenly, our team collapses, loses all flags, and loses by nearly 200 points.
So frustrating. I don't know if players switched teams or they got a bunch of high ranked players late, but nothing is more frustrating.

It's almost always the horrid team balancer bringing in new players or people randomly switching teams when this happens.
Also, this Russian DLC is cool at first, but I can't really say I am excited to play too many of these maps sometimes.
So there are more challenges behind the initials you unlock first? Hit 3/5 of the class based assignments and then you are asked to complete 5 out of 6 required tasks. The lone Speclialization, Inconspicuous (invisible on map from spot flares if stationary or moving slowly), does not seem too bad, however a few others are a bit much. Thankfully the items aren't worthwhile so gg Dice.

I know that it's not a classic battlefield mode like conquest, but I've been having fun playing Team Deathmatch with this game.
Man, Supply Drop is a shitty mode. It just turns into grenade spamming over and over and everyone just lying prone hoping they don't get sniped from across the map or blown up by a grenade.
Still not sure why anyone would want to play anything but Conquest in this game. Some of the other modes are nice little short-term distractions, but Conquest is clearly the best mode, in my opinion. Operations is okay but turns into a meat-grinder way too often for my tastes.

You forgot the constant Mortar fire, which I'm also guilty of, but only because somebody at DICE came up with cancerous challenges again and somehow thinks they are fun.

That being said, the DLC maps are majorly lacking in quality. I think it's one of the worst Battlefield DLC packs to date.

Yeah, supply mode is garbage and its better if they didnt force crappy modes into the game.
Frontlines is surprisingly fun though.
Like, Frontlines, Conquest, Operations, and Rush are solid modes that should be their focus.
Everything else feels like a lame COD wannabe.

Frontlines, Conquest, Operations for sure. Eh I used to <3 rush but I haven't played it since operation mode. But operations do take a lot longer compared to rush. Rush is iffy for me currently.
I am just playing supply drop for the trophy. After that, I prob won't ever play supply drop again unless it changes a lot.
edit: my k/d dropped doing these assignments...

I still don't understand why 32p or 48p conquest isn't a thing in BF1. Did they mess up the server rental program that bad?
DICE has been making super baffling decisions these past two years (Battlefront and BF1).
I think whoever is in charge needs to go, they are putting the wrong people on these projects.

This assignment though
"Destroy 5 tanks with crossbowlauncher HE"
Not cars, but TANKS. And FIVE of them.

Man we really need operations to be better balanced
The behemoths dont do it. The elites dont do it
They need to change how capturing works in your battalion stages

They were terrible in the last map. Its as if they go out of their way to make them not fun to do at all.

Mortar is easy on operations and frontlines
At mine kills are easy but slow. U can place them and forget them until it hits. U can switch classes without it disappearing

Play on the Regular Map and randomly place mines down. You'll be surprised on how many kills you can get. Best place is Amiens imo.

There's an assignment that needs kills with the tank as well I think, so the anti-tank mine challenge is probably easier than normal just now.

Best place is to get to the enemy side of the map and place the mine near their tank-entry road. Tanks will usually go along the mainroad in Amiens, Monte Grappa, Giants Shadow, Ballroom Blitz.
For Mortar airburst play Frontlines on Argonne Forest and just spam the choke points.

I am assuming it's intentional since it was wide open fields in the eastern front.
Reflective of the type of warfare that occurred on the fronts, especially Eastern. Trenches and fields. It's why going "over the top" was basically considered to be a slaughter.
I like the design. It feels appropriate for the setting and forces you to think a bit before running into the fray.

Trying to get the first basic Assault class "assignment" (?) And the last one is kill 5 with Dynamite.
I camped a flag and killed one guy rushing in but the kill didn't register after the game and I'm still at 0/5. I did this twice and it pretty boring to do.
Do i have to get all 5 kills in 1 game? The other things to do (get 20 kills with this gun) was cumulative...
What's the best way to get this done?
Thanks Gaf.

I've noticed that the tracker barely updates itself automatically, I need to go into the service assignment section and track another one for it to manually update.
It's worth a shot.
