Lock-Guided Missile Disabled for IFV.
We've temporarily disabled the Lock-Guided Missile (MR Missile) for the Infantry Fighting Vehicle as we work to address inconsistencies witnessed with this vehicle's countermeasures.
This change is live and will apply from your next match onward.
We're aiming to have this issue resolved in an update next week.

Another mandatory wall of txt! 1/x 🥹
This wraps up my 2042 adventure since Season 2.
A younger me who spent thousands of hours playing BF would have never imagined there would be a day where he'd work on this franchise. it's mental.

Been an interesting ride since started after S1 up to this point. 2042 has gone thru the most changes compared to any BF in its live cycle, proud of it but also deep inside wished it didn't need to. Nothings perfect but i hope we got vehicles to a more balanced/enjoyable spot 🫡
The Battlefield team is expanding as we look to the future of the series. We welcome a new team from @motivestudio – makers of Dead Space (2023) and Star Wars: Squadrons (2020)!

I see a lot of comments about us hating air vehicles or nerfing them without a reason so i'm gonna walk you through the thought proccess behind the recent changes to air vehicles, specifically the littlebird for sake of visibility and some discussion. 1/x

Heads up ahead of next patch as i sense it'd cause an uproar. Haven exposed Nightbird avg up time is too short (7 secs). vehicles weak.
We looked into:
-Increase of fire power
-Increase in armor
-Better mobility
-Access to bombs
-Shielded pilot
Keep the feedback coming!

Lots of time and effort has gone into giving more love to the crawly beasts, in a way they still feel like tanks but can also hold their own against the general pace of 2042. give it a try and be sure to feed back!
Additional Vehicle Quality of Life Improvements arriving as part of #Battlefield2042 Season 6: Dark Creations!
A large focus will be on the steering curves of vehicles when not actively accelerating.
There is now a greater expectation to manage speed to maximize maneuverability and steering input to navigate tight areas.
These changes will also result in your vehicle no longer coming to a sudden halt while turning without acceleration.
Expect full details as part of our 6.0 Update Notes!

Yo! we are looking at Draugr since the patch. there has been a couple of unfortunate & unforseen issues such as vehicle systems health and Kerosene fire damage over time. also the countermeasure feedback (and some more). it's being looked at. we'll communicate when its here. 1/2

There is a first time for everything! this one comes in form of NOT reinventing the wheel. gunner's box from previous games is back. Its not exactly 1 to 1 to BF4 but it should fullfill that same gameplay purpose of it. give it a try.
Update 6.4.0 for #Battlefield2042 arrives this coming Wednesday, 28th February.
▫️ Arkangel Directive
▫️ Persistent Servers Update for Battlefield Portal
▫️ Directional Gunner HUD Improvements and more

Heads up about a few upcoming balance changes before we wrap up.
-All vehicles will need 5 C4 to destroy. it is too easy now.
-Each team will have access to an extra jet and littlebird
-Kerosene bomb AoE will linger about a minute to fullfil it area denial role

Back to this. Don't wanna celebrate too early given the history of it but its a bit different this time around, Our engineer found that zoom is not getting triggered on server side of things, first educated fix.🤞we got rid of it after 10 years. lets us know if it still happens.
@ArmoredKill I hope you dont mind me inquiring this way, but ive tried to get feedback on this recurring vehicle bug for years, without success. The black zoom bug in 2042 has been present in 3 games now. It seems to be an issue with the shutter, and can occur multiple times per

As far as we are aware most of the issues that have popped up over the past cpl of days including flares bypass, Stance switch spam and some smaller stuff are known and sorted out on their way in. just pending decisions on a delivery approach. keep em coming!
Today we've been observing your feedback about the recently introduced BMP-2 & M3A3 Bradley and we've made some early balancing changes which are live right now on Battlefield 2042.
APFSDS-T Sabot Shells
▫️Max damage lowered from 28 to 25.
▫️Minimum damage is now lowered from 22 to 20.
▫️Rate of fire reduced from 150 to 140.
Main 20MM Cannon
▫️Rate of fire lowered from 200 to 185.
Frontlines Unlocked & Conquest Unlocked
Our aim with these two modes is to have the ability for you to get behind the seat of these two vehicles while you're assisting your team towards the win.
As such, we've disabled the choices within the Heavy Armor category to ensure these variations of the modes are available as created.
More changes on the way!
We are aware of other issues taking place with some of the recent additions, and we will be following up on them as we continue our investigations.
Keep your feedback rolling!

Let me clarify. BF6 is a video game and it simply cannot have an interaction such as this to have 0 counter. If there comes a day where we do ECM then sure. Until then flares will do just like it did in 2042. nothing new.

This is part of the same OG problem which the team has already resolved. once in you should be getting all the incoming missile warnings + working flares. though designation warning is a separate matter that's being looked at.

One of the smoothest, most fun BF out there. its only sin was it wasn't war themed or maybe needed a different name. it did ask for an open mind to see past that. people calling it a bad game is immature

Just an FYI that we will keep an eye out on heli changes as we go, especially the gunner. how it performs today is very simillar but slightly weaker than BF4 helicopter gunner so we know it has worked before, we will continue to monitor and adjust where and if needed.

Of total 14 characters, 10 could easily dispatch vehicles + traits and gadgets on top of it. We've tried pushing the game more into roles for a while and this is no exception. readability becomes pretty poor when everyone is a lethal threat and that has gone for 2 years. 1/2

This change isnt necessarily made for bullets to kill vehicles but it's there to force you into making a decision. when to attack, retreat etc and as any other change, the intent can only go so far. we will see how it plays out but as for now we believe its the right choice. 5/x

But such changes impact the characterisics that people spend months to master. it would eliminate that mastery and can "hard-code" lower efficiency of these vehicles, so regardless how good a pilot is, they would still feel like they can't be as good. we avoided that. 3/x

2,384
Should probably have more context, it's for gunners 30(Hokum's primary not included) it should no longer rock other vehicles around when landing shots and on top of that, we reduced the impulse all helis take from all projectiles quite significantly. Patch notes will reflect it.

FYI some jets adjustments
Separately, we have also made some small changes to the power output of the A10 Warthog and SU-25TM Frogfoot the following changes are now in effect.
Explosive Cannon
◾️ Blast Damage lowered from 8 to 6.5
◾️ Blast Radius reduced from 5.5 to 3
Regular Cannon
◾️ Maximum damage lowered from 16 to 12.5
◾️ Minimum damage lowered from 12 to 8
◾️ Damage fall off starts from 350m instead of 450m
◾️ Damage fall off ends at 600m instead of 800m
These changes are being made to the Attack Jets to ensure that things remain a fair and fun experience when a player is on the giving but also receiving end of the encounter.
Our goal with jets is to have longer engagements with their targets and require the pilot to take more of an active and risky manoeuvre in order to successfully deliver a lethal blow, whilst also providing the target opportunity to react and counter within an acceptable timeframe.
We'll continue to keep an eye on balance in this way as we look to the future.

So, Agile vehicles such as the littlebird, extremely high mobility and the highest KPM in the game is over-performing. We could have done a bunch of different changes to address this, such as mobility or weapon performance. 2/x

There were 0 handling changes done to Nightbird in the last patch. what you feel is either placebo or something completely unrelated impacting it which would need digging but no raw handling handling changes that's for sure.

We opted for adding a potential "down time" through dynamic gameplay that comes in the form of our change. now if the enemy team decide to shooth at you while you are attacking an objective constantly, you need to think twice, if you are on low HP, you need to think twice. 4/x

It has nothing to do with who reports an issue. i assure you that. i also don't believe a potential balancing problem is the same with a game mechanic simply not functioning at all such as flares in this case. so this example of yours is not exactly how it is.

No disagreement there,we are working on few improvements and will share when it's ready. worth mentioning that the hud cant be fully changed as it's part of a much bigger picture than vehicles, as a whole. so we have to play within those limits.aka we cant "just copy pasta bf4":)

Yeah! tho my fav part was when you are spotted by wall hack goggles nearly 24/7 the second you spawn. alright for short burst sessions tho but its too simillar to CoD gameplay for my taste. starvation to play a non-cod, non-hero shooter is at an all time high.
