    Honestly, there isn't much reason to drop ammo crates and medic crates are especially pointless (and actually a hinderance).

    Ammo crates only resupply one special ammo while the supply stations resupply you to max and there are in large abundance on the map.

    Medic pouches not only heal but resupply your fill of extra bandages, plus they can be thrown in multiple bursts making them much more effective. They should have made crates be the only thing (besides medic stations) to resupply your bandages to make them viable on the battlefield.

    I'm normally against camping but I have to disagree when it comes to V's CQ mode - Defending objectives is more important than it ever was and I've seen multiple teams win with less flag caps since they were able to effectively mow down the other team. Bipods are your friend.

    Also, fog isn't a thick blanket like it used to be in 1 so I don't think it really applies

    Console players are unable to chat positions to teammates and must use the new spotting mechanic more effectively. You can't mark things too far away and a regular grey marker could have multiple meanings

    Enemy fortifications can work in your favour and I wouldn't recommend destroying every single one. Breach a small hole, not a large one, to remain unnoticed

+ Before you advance to the next sector, push up as far ahead as possible - When you're playing in modes such as Breakthrough, Frontlines, Rush, etc., during the interim before you advance to the next sector, you want to push up ahead of time. This'll reduce the time the enemy team has to prepare defenses and settle in. Do not wait until the timer goes to zero to start pushing out of the previously capped sector. Rather, inch up to the boundary of the next sector. The important point to keep in mind is to not overextend if the cap hasn't been made yet. For instance, on Frontlines, I often see players who are already 1-2 sectors ahead before their team has even capped the objective. If half your team is ahead before capping, then those left to cap will be overrun.

Take full advantage of retreat and OoB timers as an attacker as well. Defenders have 1 minute to retreat so at 51 seconds start running into no man's land - the next sector advance should open up just before death, allowing you a huge head start to arm an objective or clear out unsuspecting defenders.

I've managed to arm a side objective and hold my own until a huge rush of friendlies reach and swarm an area.

Also, if you are bleeding out make sure to keep tapping the call out button, even after death -- until this gets fixed you can potentially earn an extra few seconds of downed state for teammates to save you.

A huge tip for pilots -- Learn to land your plane!

If you just can't seem to shake someone off your six, try landing your plane; I have a near flawless record of getting the enemy to crash since it can be quite difficult to land, shoot, fly, and aim all at once. It's not a guaranteed way to avoid death and should only be used as a last ditch effort, but you won't look like a little punk who just crashes to avoid them getting credit.
