Despite my few hundred hours in the cockpit and despite learning to aim not only by spraying but using gunsights, the notion that "bullets travel “up” when shot from inside the turn evaded me in the formal sense. I compensated for it thru practice but…

Timestamped for future reference should anyone ask for tips on how to shoot and I wanna answer beyond “just practice” and “vibes.”

lol, maybe. If you know EA, you’d know one shouldn’t get excited or hyped for a release of something they produce. Anyway, I enjoyed vanilla BC2, and I did a lot of clan battles on vanilla BF1942, BF:Vietnam and BF2. But the mods were the best thing about the game in the end. I remember doing a massive tournament on Forgotten Hope, with a map based on the Invasion of Crete. It was just, damn, what an experience. Anyway, as for shooters, War Thunder is enough for me. I don’t bother with Battlefield or any of the others. I think Arma 3 was the last FPS I bothered with. This game takes all my gaming time ;)

Edit: I’m not wrong about the propaganda, though. It’s how companies advertise their games these days. They work the algorithm, they pay creators to talk about their game, they spam you on YouTube and other places. It’s artificial hype a lot of it. Some of the hype is real because of the horrible state of basic-vanilla-game ‘shooters’ such as CoD.

Edit2: Any Aussies out there - I was in AEF clan at the time. We did some serious tournaments in BF1942, Vietnam, and 2. Was in 6RAR division. Was a great experience as a teenager :)

Sorry to burst your nostalgia fart bubble but BF2 was just as silly with those stupid movement mechanics with sweats dolphin jumping and killing 10 dudes with knives. You just miss being a kid and booting up your favorite game after school, just like I did when TF2 was at its prime.

You sound like you prefer games like Squad, give it a whirl, and try to move on. I also made my peace with the fact that Battlefield will never be the way I’d like, I used to play in Attack heli cups in BF4 and quit when they butchered the flight physics, c’est la vie.

Brother, try reading my damn posts before replying. I enjoyed BF2 most for the mods on it - Forgotten Hope 2, for example. The vanilla game play has always been arcade which is what is in the text you quoted. My nostalgia was from a time when game companies like EA/Dice let their games be modified. Complete overhaul mods of battlefield exceeded anything that EA/Dice set out to do. They killed this with BF3. And yes, if I wanted something like Forgotten Hope 2 now, I’d play Hell Let Loose or something similar. I choose War Thunder. This game is what has replaced games like Battlefield for me.

whoops, thats on me for reading something right out of bed, never tried those mods and skipped BF3 so I never really cared, quit after BF4 though and only started playing multiplayer stuff again when i picked up WT, also replaced my FPS itch.

With the exception of the last two SPAA/SAMs, that is the entire US Ground line. Majority bought, crewed and spaded, with just some exceptions.

Premiums used: M4A5 Ram, T14, T30, M46 “Tiger,” and T54E1 were doing the heavy lifting through large amount of the grind

Cobra King, M18 Black Cat and RDF/LT were only bought recently, the first two for fun and the RDF to help finish out.
