Re: Battlefield V Tips, Part I: Strategy

+ 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.
