Started playing again after a lengthy break. I always tend to go on large breaks from BF1 games at this time. I remember making similar posts for BF3/4
Anyway, Enjoying getting back into it again. Been busy unlocking the new weapons from In the name of tsar and turning tides.
Ive only unlocked the M1917 Trench Carbine so far for Assault, Its brilliant. Pretty sure its just the developer only C96 Export stats with the vehicle class only C96 carbine model. I havnt unlocked anything else but next will be the SMG08/18 i havnt tried so much for that though as it seems rather unpopular and weak so ive concentrated on other things like the medic rifles.
The Fedorov Avtomat and Farquhar Hill rifles are very good, Fedorov is a great choice for an aggressive playey, way better than the other full auto medic rifles (1907SL, Cei Regotti) in my opinion. The Farquhar Hill seems so good at almost every range. Quickly becoming one of my favorite weapons.
The support class has been spoilt with these last two DLCs. The Perino is a standard LMG but has a very good reload mechanic which never takes you out of the action. Just topping up the box on the left hand side with strips is very convenient especially when facing a constant stream of enemies which eventually would catch most of the other LMGs out with they're lengthy reloads.
The M1917 Browning in my opinion is the most balanced LMG is the game. Something about the sights and recoil make it easier to use for me, a great gun but it doesnt excel at any range. Unlike the Parabellum MG14/17. This is what the support class needed, A dedicated close range high ROF LMG. The recoil is tough but if you come up against everything but the automatico You should fancy your chances. Great at combating planes aswell.
Only Sniper ive unlocked so far is the Vetterli Vitali Infantry. It seemed ok, Nothing Special all the Scout rifles are basically the same just with different models and Sweet spots. Unlocked the Obrez Sidearm also which is great fun.
Regarding the maps, I havnt played that much. However i enjoy all the russian maps. Lupkow probably being my favorite and Galicia maybe lacking behind the rest.
Of the the two Turning tides maps available at the moment? Achi Baba is fantastic, But my experience with Cape Helles is not so good. The team i was on couldn't even make it past the first beach to try and cap a single flag. Conquest Assault was so good in BF3. This was not too good however. Maybe a change back to normal conquest will improve the map. Trying to make it up the beach and over the crest while the whole of the enemy team has the hight advantage is very tough.
All in all, Im enjoying BF1 again. Looking forward to the two other Turning tides maps and the big balance patch arriving next Tuesday!!!
I ended up having six or eight snipers trying to kill me at once.
. In all seriousness, this is probably the last Dice product I buy (Bad Company 3 or a Battlefield 1944 being exceptions) because of all these shenanigans. Mainly because of the premium/non-premium split player base making the DLC's implode after a month, and then its back to the same old and tired 🤬 maps.
