Happy Thanksgiving @AscendBF, the best BF team! I made @Battlefield-themed YouTube Banner / PFP designs for every single member in the discord, a total of 40. Logo modeled in Maya, and all 3d elements rendered in Redshift. View them all at edy.art/ascend

@VirtualP3009 Will do!

@iEdyy Looking forward to the video! Let me know if I can be helpful in any way.

So many of these I need to make for the Recon Guide video but it will be worth it

@VirtualP3009 @luklira14 I did check out your updated spreadsheet soon after I tweeted that, so good thing I got the numbers right. I do however wanted to ask if it would be possible to have a way to compare 2 snipers at once and have it show the distance they intersect (if at all). Made a mockup:

@iEdyy @luklira14 Hi Edyy, thanks for using the spreadsheet. It looks like you were able to update it, but I’ve also made the changes on my end in case that’s easier to reference. I also tested in-game to verify it's still accurate. -V/P

Will verify come June 30th update ofc, but I crunched some numbers with the bullet velo/drag values from the BF patch notes to give you a better idea of how the current fastest sniper will be affected in BF6. This assumes Long Range ammo bullet drag coefficient changes from -.001 to -.002, and the 760m/s base velocity with extended barrel is 950m/s (1.25x). Same opinion as before, this upcoming update is to make the current snipers be used within 200m to be closer in line with their intended roles, however these new changes ultimately destroys timings at longer ranges. This opens up the possibility of long-range-only snipers to be implemented to fill this section (very slow handling/velo/ADS speed/Reload etc but with a new significantly improved bullet drag ammo type). Will DICE add those in? Long range is chalked until then! Hopefully you appreciate the info 🫡

Hopefully the HTI sniper is actually an impactful long range sniper, but I think I'm going to make the effort to learn jets to have another reason to enjoy large maps.

Naval warfare has arrived 🌊 Season 4 brings naval combat, our biggest map ever, dynamic waves, new vehicles, new weapons, and all-out warfare across land, air, and sea. ⚓ Deploy on July 21.

@xbabtech Any chance of a modkit for sale of it? The size and weight of the internals look really appealing for it

You’ve seen how the XA25 comes together. Here’s where the weight goes. 9 parts. 24.94 g total (~25±1g). In future posts, we'll share tidbits of the engineering and weight optimization that go into these components.

@T0TALfps Thank you!

Thanks for the pings, and also for your patience on this one while the team looked into it. Anti-Personnel Shells became a little more than Anti-Personnel... and will be back in the game once a fix is attached. 🫡

@GrimBF6 Really nice!

Most M136-AT shots leave me unimpressed, but this one is pretty crazy. #BF6 #Battlefield

@JundaFPS 1000%

In my opinion I prefer the 3 year BF game experience.

@aksu02_ Once again these 3rd party platforms trying to police players in the worst way possible. They hate that you’re not UCAVing all game hiding in spawn like the griefers they defend.

@SorehaNick LMAO

How bad players describe BF6 gameplay

@Flakfire @WARDOGS Congrats!!

Leveled up 👀 @WARDOGS

@munsplit LOL

i often see the covid overhiring as the reason for the current gaming industry situation, but imo its like saying -yeah he ate too much for a few months and needs to reduce weight, thats why hes cutting his legs off.

Would honestly prefer your first suggestion where getting headshotted while sniping would give you heavy headflinch. To make it work with Redsec you apply it to the high-powered scopes where the headflinch effect scales with the scope magnification (6x is light, 8x is heavy, 10x is you got hit by a truck).

HYPOTHETICALLY What should DICE fix next in Battlefield 6 after the big upcoming update? Watch here: youtu.be/tjtv2zbg-bs

@luklira14 Oh yea for sure, the penetration ammo is what i used for breakthrough because the benefits of the long range ammo was for 300m+. After the June 30th update here's the comparison with the ESR on the ammo types. Specifically look at 200m and below for breakthrough

@iEdyy In my opinion, you end up losing more than you gain by using that type of ammunition. I definitely prefer armor-piercing ammo (I'm not sure how to spell that in English). Perhaps this will change somewhat after the update. We'll see...

From my testing there is definitely a difference but you'd have to be in complete motion to see it and in general we're hardwired to shoot for the split second we stop moving like we do in previous games so you end up being able to get away with the 5pt option if thats how you play haha. 10 and 15pt options are for the aggressive movement while shooting playstyle and improves even more with the purple/blue laser attachments, but its still minimal in impact.

And I'm not just talking about the drag reduction values they mention., but also the values of some grip types. I feel that some of them don't make any difference in gameplay. For example, there are two types of angled grips. One costs 15 points and the other only 5. The 5-point one says you lose accuracy when shooting while moving. I did a series of tests and simply don't notice any real difference in gameplay.

long range ammo isn't needed at ranges you play at on modes like Breakthrough, but that's with today's sniper velocity and bullet drag value because they had real long range capabilities. After June 30th's update you're going to feel that change 100% if you don't use it because the max ranges were cut by like 700m, so it moves all of the relevant timings back. It's what you use to preserve the velocity for a longer period but you'll see that it's going to be terrible beyond 300m regardless after this update. These values are from me plugging in the new values from the June 30th patch notes using @VirtualP3009 bf6 ballistic calculator from his yt channel. After the update drops I need to go in portal mode and verify the timings in case i messed up the numbers.

I remember testing this long-range ammunition near the game's launch and finding it extremely useless. Besides, I didn't feel any difference in practice (Maybe because I don't like playing at long distances), I've never found any real statistics on how this affected gameplay. Where did you find those values? 🤔 Another issue is that this ammunition caused me to lose a good number of kills simply because it didn't have good collateral damage, Even when a teammate got in the way, it caused me to lose a headshot kill, and since then I've been using penetration ammunition on all my sniper rifles.

@_BigE1293 What do you mean bro, that .01 to .04 seconds slower difference under 200m is to die for and totally makes sniping really skillful with this update!! Anything beyond 200m is cringe!!!! 😂

@iEdyy What was the desired outcome from this change? Long range was already not very viable since the only good map for long range sniping is Operation Firestorm. The snipers already all play exactly the same since their most effective ranges are 50-200m away. This just reinforces that
