I just noticed this and I think it’s really cool! If you load up as Italian pregame, the solider’s soliloquy references an eagle while thinking of his mother. The symbol of freedom and majesty empowers him to fight for the Italians to retake the mountain from the Austrians.
Meanwhile, if you load up as an Austrian, a similar yet slightly different observation about the same eagle is made. Very cool!
The Blimp is the absolute most worthless piece of fucking garbage in this game. Yeah yeah, I know, you like seeing it blow up. That's the problem. This fucking thing is made out of paper towel rolls and paper mache. I've never seen that stupid piece of shit ever make it even within striking distance if a flag without 1/4 of its health gone already.
I know, I know, sometimes you get a competent pilot and crew. Let's be honest. Most of the time it's flown by some stupid fucking sub human mongoloid neanderthal with brain damage and nothing can be done about it. It's a big floating liability.
Give us 100 extra tickets. Keep that stupid fucking flying abortion away from this map. Nobody in the history of this fucking game has ever said, "thank God, the Blimp here. Everything is going to be okay". They say "Oh God, not that fucking thing again".
It's especially frustrating, because in this sector attackers have 3 objectives to take. So not only they have to somehow clear that bunker or outnumber defenders while capping from outside, but they have to get 2 additional objectives that are quite far away from each other. When attackers cap from outside they are exposed to planes and snipers while defenders sit inside spamming nades. I saw lots of games end on this sector. 3 objectives is hard enough as it is, don't make it even harder.
Stupid but true. You just have to die in the right spot (directly over it), it glitches through the terrain, killing everyone inside. We did this today, moment before there was 32 defenders in the B bunker, then we just walked in without a shot fired.
Been pretty obsessed with "Devil's Anvil" Operation lately and way more than half the time I try to join it, I'm either spawning is as the round is 30 seconds from ending or instead of getting verdun/fort de vaux cutscene I get Monte Grappas. It's incredibly annoying since that's my most hated map. I said to hell with it and played through it once anyway today and by the time the attackers got to the second sector our team had 12 players to the attackers' 32.....
I'll just think happy thoughts about DICE someday adding an actual ops server browser and instituting some method of auto balance. I was keeping track when the round started being a blowout and the enemy team was actually getting players that had just joined. I just started playing in June so I missed out on the operations server browser trick. Maybe DICE could also make it so if a round is on last battalion with 20 tickets left or literally capping the last flag it won't force you to join it and go through 10 minutes of loading. Same thing with conquest, roughly half of those servers I join are either complete blowouts or so close to ending I barely can spawn before it ends if that even.
It completely defeats the purpose of letting us select an Ops we want to play if most of the time you don't even get to play that one. Literally only 2 times today did I get into devils anvil right as it started.
Side note: why is it no matter what operation I play, when it's over I always get sent to Monte Grappa?
Ps, I play on Xbox and have never seen pop issues other than at like 3 am when there's only one or two full operations servers
Not sure if it has been posted before but if you reverse the assault tank it has much better traction and goes up the mountain nice and quick :)
