BATTLEFIELD 6 - UPDATE NOTES 1.0.1.0

Generally good patch notes.

Some oddities though:

• slightly lowered the jump height
• Inspect Weapon option hidden on PC.
• Voice chat now defaults to off.
• Removed Crossplay option from server hosting.

Probably the biggest disappointment comes from the fact that the patch notes contain zero mentions of fixing the footstep sound volume.

• Adjustments to incendiary and movement audio mixes.

Hopefully this is indirectly about footsteps.

It confirms they want splash damage to be pitiful.

Thank you for the heads up.

+ I’m also missing any mention of increasing party size — that’s a pretty hot topic here on the forums too.

On one hand it is to be welcomed isn't it: carpet one-shelling infantry isn't pleasant (to infantry, that is).

The game isn't even out yet and DICE are already catering to whiner air players.

Jets can already fly across the map, drop their weapon, hit the magic flares that make everything miss no matter what, and fly away before anyone can get a second lock on. The stinger was already useless at hitting vehicles in the beta, now it's even worse!

How come the Helos get no skill "below radar" garbage (never mind that stingers don't use radar), instead of you know, actually having to follow terrain, or fly behind buildings, to avoid getting locked on?

I can't wait until they start getting shot down by the M136 (Sraw/Eryx guided weapon) and whining about that and getting it nerfed into the ground as well, with the excuse that "it's meant to be an anti-ground weapon", but it's okay for the anti-air weapon to suck at being anti-air even though it's the only thing it can do.

I'm also betting that nothing one-shots helicopters or jets and they can fly away and autorepair no worries.

Am I able to get a "Below Sniper" soldier perk where I can't get hit by a sniper more than 50 meters away? Can my tank get a "Below Javelin" where driving close makes it invincible to anti-tank rockets?

Please don't repeat the mistakes of 2042. Every weapon capable of killing air vehicles was nerfed into oblivion (Liz missiles made borderline useless, the railgun tank nerfed to the point it wasn't worth using any more, because Jet mains whined they were getting shot down flying while refusing to do anything but fly in straight lines, stingers made slower to reload that magic flares, all the buffs to health & armour on air etc). Meanwhile you had littlebird/stealth helo twitch sweats going 100-0 every round and killing every lobby they joined.

I think it’s great that for once they support aircraft players, since when you spawn in a jet or heli you’re constantly getting locked by tons of AA players camping across the map.

I didn't play engineer alot to notice the rpg damage but c5 is useless unless you detonate it at head height,  I had people just run through it when its on the floor and I got enemy suppressed....

Thats because its fine how it is.

Unless they implement a way to split the party evenly amongst the teams it will unbalance any server you join.

Lol. Locked on from spawn? The stinger literally doesn't have the range for that. It barely has enough range to get to the next flag, let alone spawns.
