  @Battlefield Battlefield ping is very bad in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region. Players are getting extremely high ping between 100-200ms, while other EA games like FC work perfectly fine. Please fix the server issue and improve Middle East connectivity.

  April 27 was supposed to be sentencing day. Instead, the Court paused on its own, citing complexity and unresolved issues. That pause matters. Guo warned: the battlefield between the CCP and America is inside the U.S. If America fails to expose the ***** money linking the CCP to the DOJ, FBI, law firms, and courts, no American is safe. This was never just one man’s fight. In year ten, the Movement has forced America to confront the CCP’s shadow over its justice, sovereignty, and freedom. When America wakes up, everything has just begun. #MilesGuo #NFSC #TakeDownTheCCP

  @BattlefieldComm A lot of the time you cannot even identify where the paint is coming from, which removes meaningful counterplay entirely. This urgently needs fixing. I also did not see any mention of flare reliability being fixed. It is good that infantry can no longer lock while flares are active, but the bigger issue still exists: missiles frequently ignore flares entirely and hit anyway. This is one of the most frustrating and unfair mechanics currently in the game because it removes all predictability and counterplay. Battlefield is an arcade shooter, not a MILSIM. Flares should reliably defeat lock-ons every time. Randomly dying because a missile ignored your flares is not good gameplay. Another issue is that lock-ons currently have effectively infinite vertical range. This makes proper jet dogfighting nearly impossible because infantry can still lock jets even at the sky ceiling. Infinite vertical lock range only makes sense against helicopters, since helicopters can actually hover near the skybox and farm with a gunner. Jets are already ineffective against infantry from that altitude, so this mechanic just unnecessarily punishes jet combat. ================================================== JET DOGFIGHTING AND AIR-TO-AIR SKILL GAP ================================================== The biggest issue overall is that the lack of a real skill gap in air combat has barely been addressed at all. Jet dogfighting currently has an extremely fast time-to-kill. If someone gets behind you and can aim reasonably well, there is essentially zero opportunity for counterplay. If an enemy jet who is significantly worse than you gets behind you first, you realistically have almost no chance to reverse the fight because the TTK is simply too fast. Combined with how quickly mobility hits occur — and how devastating they are — dogfights become shallow and low-skilled. There is also still no proper air radar, which is honestly unacceptable this long after launch in a modern Battlefield game. Combined with poor visibility, weak freelook controls, and the lack of a proper rear camera, situational awareness barely matters because the tools to maintain awareness do not exist. Air radar is absolutely necessary for modern jet gameplay and should have been fixed months ago. The newly added indicator showing when an enemy jet is aiming at you is also not the right solution. This does not solve the actual issue. The actual issue is the lack of proper awareness systems. Right now, because of the extremely fast jet TTK and lack of awareness tools, if you suddenly realize a jet is near you, you are usually already dead within a second anyway. The indicator basically becomes a “you are about to die” warning rather than meaningful gameplay. A proper radar system would create an actual awareness skill gap where players track enemy aircraft, position intelligently, and react proactively instead of relying on automated warning indicators. Mobility hits also need a full rework. On top of that, the current jet flight model is poor and lacks meaningful speed control. In the stealth jet, the optimal turning rate is currently achieved through “V-tapping,” where players spam throttle inputs to abuse the thrust vectoring system. This clearly feels unintended and does not create a healthy skill gap — anyone can spam buttons. A much better system would be something closer to the Battlefield 4-inspired attack jet flight model introduced late in Battlefield 2042’s lifecycle. That model had an actual optimal speed range for maximum turn performance, which rewarded proper speed management and pilot skill. Right now, even in the attack jet, optimal turning is still achieved by repeatedly tapping throttle rather than genuinely managing speed. Maintaining precise speed control should be the skill gap, not abusing input spam.

  SAAB has revealed its new round for Carl Gustaf, the HEAT 758, a Heat-Tandem round with up to 700mm of penetration behind ERA. According to Michael Höglund, head of Saab’s business unit Ground Combat: “This round is our response of developments of the battlefield where reactive explosive armour has become a major problem for regular munitions trying to defeat armoured vehicles. HEAT 758 is an example of how Saab continues to generate ever more capable products while decreasing the armoured vehicle threat to the operator,” The new round has already been ordered by an anonymous client and is in production.

  It wasn’t a battlefield. There were no headlines waiting. No cameras. Just darkness. On January 30, 2025, during night training operations at Fort Stewart, something went wrong. A military vehicle rolled. In seconds, everything changed. Shelbe Butner didn’t make it out. She was 28 years old. For nine years, she had served as a motor transport operator with the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team. That job doesn’t come with attention or recognition. It comes with responsibility. Moving equipment. Supporting missions. Operating in conditions where risk is always present — even when it doesn’t look like war. Because danger doesn’t always wait for combat. Sometimes it’s there in training. In preparation. In the moments people don’t think about. She showed up anyway. Day after day. Year after year. Not for fame. Not for headlines. But because the mission needed her. That night, the mission didn’t end the way it should have. Another soldier beside her also lost their life. Two futures gone in a moment most people will never hear about. The world kept moving. The news cycle didn’t stop. And for many, it was just another day. But behind that silence — Was a life of service. Nine years of showing up. Nine years of carrying responsibility others never see. She didn’t step away from duty. She carried it all the way to the end. Some sacrifices don’t happen in front of the world. Some happen quietly… In the dark… Where no one is watching. And that’s why they’re forgotten the fastest. Story based on historical records. This post is for educational purposes.

  @UpperSoda @thehill I just read your profile…. Barrett, “recovering newspaper reporter” tells the whole story. You were inside the machine, you saw what it became, and you walked away when it stopped serving the truth. That’s a fight for this country too, just on a different battlefield. Thank you for your service. We mean that the same way we mean it when we say it to a soldier. People like you held the line when it cost you to hold it. The country needs more of that.

  @JuanIsidro @Burnvolver Do you think BF2042 is Ubisoft somehow? You keep saying that, I don't think you know what it means. Cyberpunk isn't Ubisoft. Halo isn't. GTA isn't. This is a majority of devs/publishers issue.

  @MarioNawfal This war must go on until Iran breaks. A ceasefire or truce before the issues are settled on the battlefield will only lead to more war in the future. The UNITED STATES needs to wipe these goons out. Rule #1 Never let your enemy breathe. We must have unequivocal victory.

  @BattlefieldComm The addition of displaying jet speed in knots is cool aesthetically, but currently meaningless because there is no real speed management gameplay in the current flight model. Looking at your speed barely matters when the game does not reward proper speed control in the first place. ================================================== HELICOPTER 1V1 SKILL GAP ================================================== Little Bird 1v1s also still suffer from an extremely low skill gap because of the miniguns. Pilot snipes happen constantly due to the combination of high spread and very high damage. Players do not need precise aim — they just spray in the general direction of the helicopter and randomly kill the pilot. As a result, equal-height Little Bird fights often feel extremely random and 50/50 instead of skill-based. A much healthier system would be Battlefield 4-style miniguns with high accuracy and precision. That would reward intentional pilot snipes instead of random luck. It would also make the Little Bird less frustrating for infantry because poor players would no longer be able to farm so easily with inaccurate high-damage spray. ================================================== TANKS, MOBILE AA, AND DEPLOYMENT CAMPING ================================================== Another issue that still was not addressed is tanks camping near their deployment C-RAM. Currently tanks can sit next to the C-RAM, have incoming projectiles deleted, and still fire outward safely from deployment. Either the C-RAM should destroy both friendly and enemy projectiles, or tanks simply should not be allowed to fire while inside deployment. This situation helps nobody. Instead of pushing objectives and supporting infantry, tanks are encouraged to sit in deployment acting as anti-air platforms with effectively zero risk. A tank should not be able to sit inside deployment and endlessly spam TOWs with no possible counterplay. The same issue exists with Mobile AA. The problem is not that Mobile AA is overpowered. Its weapons are already strong enough to counter jets and helicopters effectively. The real issue is that it is far too easy and rewarding for Mobile AA players to simply camp in deployment where they are almost impossible to punish while still having lock-on range over most of the map. Mobile AA honestly could even use slight buffs in areas like survivability or maneuverability, but its cannons and lock-ons are already strong enough already. The problem is deployment camping, not lack of power. ================================================== ENGINEER SPECIALIZATION CHANGES ================================================== The Combat Engineer overheat perk nerf is also completely unnecessary. Reducing the Overheat Control perk from 50% slower overheat to only 10% is an enormous nerf to a perk that was never even a problem to begin with. This feels like another unnecessary anti-vehicle nerf instead of addressing the actual gameplay issues affecting vehicle balance. ================================================== FINAL THOUGHTS ================================================== Again, this is not about pilots wanting to go 100-0 with no counters. There absolutely should be strong counterplay against air vehicles. The problem is that the actual air-versus-air gameplay currently has almost no meaningful depth, counterplay, or skill expression. Right now: - jet dogfights are too fast and too unforgiving - helicopter fights are too random - awareness tools are missing - several mechanics reward spam or luck more than mastery - and painting has become far too dominant against vehicles Ground-to-air balance still has issues too, especially with deployment camping and painting mechanics, but the biggest long-term problem is that air combat itself simply is not very skill-based right now. This update is a good start, and I appreciate that vehicle balance is finally getting attention, but it’s not good enough.
