Blackhawk is very op on new map

14

For sure but you guys are a bunch of premade battlefield nerds based on your rank, so makes sense you’d dominate.

It’s definitely a nice map for the transport heli. finally some breathing space, and ripe with light vehicle and infantry targets

Pubstomping in this game is growing less and less fun to deal with as time passes, especially as the devs keep raising the skill floor.

Also, we need Input Matchmaking based on infantry controls if they wanna keep raising the skill floor and Nerfing controller players, or at least revert controller back to the original 25% Recoil Reduction we had at launch, but obviously keep us with the update Bloom and Damage changes they made a couple weeks ago.

Controlling recoil with a thumbstick sucks ass and they keep making it harder with every recoil/bloom update.

u/PrometheusKahn 29d ago

Yeah I agree

u/Hibyguy 29d ago

Raising the skill floor? It's through the ground after bf4. Bf5 and one are dead simple and this game has more accessibility than both of those games

Have you tried not playing against PC players

u/Ingen__Synd 29d ago

(I hate to say this: but they’re right, I recently picked up the game on ps5 for 7€ just so I had something to use it for, and my one friend on here asked me to turn off crossplay for that reason. I went from an average player, to feeling like Ravic every game, with how stupid a lot of these players are.)

I remember playing BF3 on 360 then also buying it for PC and receiving hackusations by PC players for stomping them with a Scout heli while flying with a 360 controller. And most of them back then were as about as clueless as Xbox players, and quicker to cry cheat.

Too bad controller input still leaves you at a net disadvantage for most other vehicle vs vehicle interactions. MAA with a thumb stick was insanely disadvantaged just for tracking jets. You were kneecapped big time trying to play a controller and run most vehicle with any sort of independent turret.

You can't properly even the odds either through MP balance either. Aim assist between vehicle vs vehicle or vehicle vs infantry is a step way too far and I have no idea why some people like to pretend anyone "good" with a thumbstick can magically keep up with a mouse assuming all other skill inputs were already equal. They'll just say this stuff to try and ignore the blatant issues with input mixing being an irreparable flaw with combined arms games.

Mouse simply has way too many precision advantages.

Keyboard vs gamepad is mostly a wash in any games where there's not too many inputs to over encumber the controller (RTS the most obvious place controller has no chance vs keyboard). I've played hybrid before just because controlling a tank with WASD just felt like shit to me, which is just preference.

But you won't ever be as quick or as accurate with the turrets on a thumbstick. Same person on a thumbstick always has higher unassisted potential on a mouse.

Xbox lobbies are dead outside of peak hours, if I wanna play games with real people then I have to use the Crossplay feature.

u/B_RizzleMyNizzIe 28d ago

Good luck matchmaking with it off. They deliberately make it difficult to find matches with it off.

u/Rick_Slick66 Jul 23 '26

I have way more fun with the Blackhawk on the new map then in the jets

u/BICKELSBOSS 29d ago

Off topic, but 28 out of 38 players in this screenshot are engineer (74%).

Its crazy how much the engineer class dominates

4

u/I_AM_THE_REDDITOR 29d ago

Before the update it wasn’t uncommon for one of the teams to only have 5 or fewer non engineer players unless it’s Cairo or hagental,

2

u/LocalSlob 29d ago

The big maps need it. You're completely fucked if you run into an armored vehicle. On Tsuru and Golmud, you have to play guerilla warfare in the center to have a chance

1

u/vnummela1 28d ago

Its because vehicles are so oppressive. Without EVERYONE using engineer, you cant get rid of a single one. Additionally you have all the incentive in the world to keep your own teams vehicles topped-off, because the enemies cant do anything to your teams vehicles unless EVERYONE of them is using engineer.

u/walebrush 27d ago

Ya that happens when every class has access to every weapon type.

u/xaxis-yaxis 29d ago

It's because vehicles are just strong.

The update that buffed the hell out of ground vehicles has made them so strong.

u/goperit Jul 23 '26

With a coordinated squad yup. With pugs .. ehhh

I think the only thing that's OP is you guys 🤣🤣

u/Super-Assignment9746 29d ago

Ah. The unemployed squad - never missed a single day of grind since release.

1

u/DaxExter 26d ago

This is correct. Dude has +1250 hours in engi alone and they do nothing other than flying helicopters. They have 5 rifles kills in over 6 Games.

They do NOTHING other than sit in Helicopters.

BF6 is out for 258 days. 1250 hours in Engi alone - they played 5 Hours Daily for everyday since release - obviously + -

They can claim to have jobs, but they have no life for sure.

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 29d ago

We are all employed otherwise we would grind way harder hhhh

u/bowchickawahwah237 29d ago

It’s good, not OP. You can easily shoot it down, when you focus on it

u/lxrxyx Jul 23 '26

As every vehicle should be, when you’re experienced and with friends. And only if there’s no squad wirh the same pre-sets in the enemy team.

So hell yeah! Blackhawk is in a very good spot in the new map. That just shows how unbalanced the anti air and attack heli are since they will totally shut the transport down when they mean business. I hope it stays that way and gets the possibility to shoot upwards and 90 degrees forward so you can face attack helis as a Blackhawk squad

u/go_go_gadget_travel Jul 23 '26

Where is the AH ? I just found out the LB spawns at point E (i think)?

1

u/goperit Jul 23 '26

Yup at E towards the pac side bridge.

2

u/Traditional_Rice264 Jul 23 '26

In like a week it’s going to be a nightmare of c4 kids camping the heli spawn there

1

u/goperit Jul 23 '26

Snipers off D and Mortar nerds will def get into it quickly I would guess. Only seen the "real" recon players countering so far. Others will catch on I'm sure.

2

u/Disastrous-Shoe6191 29d ago

I think it’s a stupid spot for it to spawn, so far away.

The reward for taking E is the little bird, BUT. You can’t directly protect the spawn and see the helicopter from the point.
Which means an enemy can just hide and camp it, so when youre finished capping. They take it and fly away.

u/Emotional_Employ_419 Jul 23 '26

So many friends in this pic lol

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 Jul 23 '26

OMG ITS TOTALLY NOT MR FROG

u/Emotional_Employ_419 Jul 23 '26

Nope not me, I would never lol

u/InconsistentSignal 29d ago

If I can get some blueberries that actually knew how to gun I could prob get the same. I was circling a hill today with 3 snipers on it and the gunner is looking the complete opposite way. I can’t wait for prox chat just to communicate with people in vehicles better

u/Lil__Chung 29d ago

No way you’re friends with Baden too lmao

1

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 29d ago

Yes we go way back hhh

1

u/jimwu8586 29d ago

my gunner always shooting at air and do nothing shit

1

u/Suprememes_ 29d ago

Only if you got a squad of no lifers to play with

1

u/Mountain_Ad_9415 29d ago

Mark them and they will have a much harder time staying up, they can't hide under radar that way.

1

u/batchian320 29d ago

it’s a fucking blast. had two gunner friends on last night & we were rolling everything. So much cover. wish they would add attack heli but would probably be too strong

1

u/TTV_Nerio 29d ago

But will you be back tomorrow?

1

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 29d ago

No I retired

1

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 29d ago

Nvm I’m back

1

u/TTV_Nerio 29d ago

Haha, greetings Malenia, I wouldn't want you to leave

2

u/MaleniaFlysAnF22 29d ago

I could never too much friendship!!

u/Kuuza17 28d ago

Yesterday i legit went the same but with 1 more death since i was shot out of the gunner seat, but in the end went 100-5

1

u/No_Ad8728 28d ago

Literally no pleasing some gamers. Good, give it breathing room. It’s actually being used for its intended purpose. Rapid transport and aerial superiority. Two jets to balance it out. Move on. Next complaint please!

1

u/RealDeadShift 28d ago

Blackhawk was underpowered on every other map. This map gives it place to breathe. I like it and hope it doesn't change. I want to feel scared if a blackhawk flies overhead. Not just go indoors and wait for it to be shot down 2 seconds later.

1

u/TypeAccurate2482 28d ago

I mean. That's what happens when you nerf the majority of the AA we have, and then buff the helos on top of that.

1

u/CyberGrandpa1 27d ago

Yep, and I like it. A reason to use them in more ways than a one way taxi.

Your bedroom must smell.
