Canted iron sights was one of the best attachments in bf4 worked well to see through a smoke grenade or in locker when moving from outside to inside it was insanely useful
.338 Magnum rounds before the nerf made the early days of BF Hardline pretty much unplayable. People could 1 shot you in the leg from across the map and there wasnt a strong way to counter them.
@@S1deshowRob I wish they had spent some more time balancing before abandoning the game. Now everyone goes full-tryhard mode with the FAL which kills in three hits and has a high fire rate.
the type 11 lmg could have been so cool if top up was default and it always reloaded in multiples of 5, so you didn’t always end up with max ammo. don’t get me wrong, it’s still a cool looking gun and it plays pretty nicely, with a good damage model and being very stable, but the reloads let it down a bit and it could be very nice to have to manage it like that. i was really excited to have a spec that always just reloaded clips so you can keep up sustained intermittent fire for a long time
That would be great. Top Up is basically quick reload and is much more effective than reloading the entire magazine. The low rate of fire lets players keep better track of ammo count so that if they're a few bullets off a multiple of five then you can squeeze off those rounds and stick some clips in.
@@WarpScanner it's been awhile since I've played bfv. Once I heard they were going to end support for it after June I played for one more month then switched to modern warfare
The canted irons seem to only work on a few guns where the sight radius is large enough. Sight radius is how far a front sight is from a back one. On DMRs and snipers, the canted irons have a larger sight radius, allowing the “wings” on the front post to be seen in the back ring so they work there. I personally like using a JGM-4 (AOCG or Prisma 3.4 if that’s all I have) and canted irons on things like the HK416 where a scope helps at medium/long range but can’t let me sweep fas enough up close.
Something that they could do to the flash hider in the next BF, if is a modern title and they when back to the mini map that show as a red dot when firing a weapon, is to put the same mechanic that CoD BO Cold War has... You fire a weapon with flash hider and your dot in the mini map doesnt stay long as a weapon without that attachment, is like with flash hider you show in the mini map like 0.3 second, without like a 1 second and with a suppressor stays 0 seconds
Pro tip for anyone that still plays BF1: The iron sight variants of guns will *sometimes* have special bonuses that reduce recoil; the Lens Sight variants won't have this bonus, so you may have more recoil with it compared to irons.
As someone who has only played some BF1 and a lot of BF5 mostly as a medic my worst attachments are light bolt, improved grenades (m28) and beyonets. The Thompson could have better benefitted from light bolt if the gun used a 30 round magazine as standard instead of 20; so could the MAB allowing players to use the weapon in its intended role. The type 2A base rof should have been 900 so that picking light bolt would be more popular instead of most players using extended mag. The m28 carbine should have had the damage for improved grenades as the attachment's base damage and included a range finder like the PIAT since, for most of the game, that's the only way medics could damage vehicles. The beyonet toggle from BF1 should have returned, but only for the certain weapons that could use them in the game. The worst rifle effected from the beyonet attachment is the m1 garand since you're sacrificing two attachments instead of one.
@@TheDiameter I got t tired of futuristic COD games so I swapped over to BF when BF1 came out (although I played a smidge of hardline, BF1 was my first true game in the series). There were a few things I liked from BFV that I hope they bring to the next game, but it feels like BF has lagged behind COD for so long in terms of innovation and now COD took BF's signature large scale vehicle portion and implemented that into their series that the next BF is gonna have to really show out if the series wants to continue. Not to mention MW added holding a pistol while climbing ladders.
@@TheDiameter I'm on PS4 so bf4 is as far back as I can go. I tried some of that after BFV ended but was so used to V's gunplay and movement that I didn't play for very long, plus all the veteran players made the experience suck.
I'd argue that canted iron sights are pretty useful on DMRs in BF4. All my DMRs are specced as FLIR 2X + canted iron sights + heavy barrel + angled grip. The FLIR sight allows me to confidently engage and scan for targets at range while canted iron sights facilitate CQC to mid-close range engagements. True the sights are blocky, but at least for me, they effectively increase the versatility of all DMRs. Outside DMRs, those sights are useless. I would also argue that the Tac light is even less useful than the canted iron sights.
really? i find it very nice as a bit of a noob-tube weapon, it doesn’t have great range but it’s nice for when you know someone’s upstairs in a building to just go it some explosives up there or in crowded areas/objectives
Bear in mind the flash hider in BF4 never used to affect weapon performance, They changed it in the spring patch that fucked with the game by altering the zeroing of every gun to counter "Head glitching" and also made every grip hurt spread as well, Before that it had no downside.
Great vid, gotta disagree with 4 though. Great in conjunction with longer range scopes but you need a run n gun option (especially close quarters maps) and I see other people running them all the time (whether they use it or not IDK) just saying 🤷 to each their own
I play with certain guns in bfv specifically because they have the bayonet, it's the only reason I use the MP34 for example. I could reduce recoil or something or I could impale the enemy in a wonderful animation, more about morale and show than tactical performance, but something worth pursuing still in my eyes.
BF4’s flash hider had no downsides too until I think either the second to last or very last patch gave it the spread penalties I actually find a lot of hilarity in running duckbill and carted irons on a shotgun so that I fire a 45* of pellets. Its not effective, but it sure leave fun bullet impacts around the map for people to wonder about
looking in hindsight, these extremely situational attachments would certainly synergize with a real time customization system like bf 2042's, but it didn't exist at the time 🤔
I mean im going to be honest I used to be in a milisim in BF4 which means we play the game really realistic and two of the attachments are the canted sites and the magnifier and they did help a lot cause say we're using the M16 We would use the acog canted and a stubby and those canted sites really came in handy if I needed to be in close range
Is flash hider that useless I mean they're only useful on snipers because muzzle break and compensator dont really do much on snipers and suppressor makes it a bit harder to use snipers due to the bullet velocity and range, so flash is best?
they’re not horrible on automatic weapons but imo on anything else they’re not worth using, SARs it feels harder to aim with them than iron sights or a 3x scope and bolt actions basically the same. the only benefit they have is that on some bolt actions they still allow you to use clips to reload from empty (or half empty in the case of the lee enfield), but really for the most part reload speed isn’t going to be particularly critical with a sniper rifle.
@@DrX-dh6th gonk gonk, even though I like them I only use them on very few weapons like the Gewer 1-5 and the RSC, I personally like the aperture sights on the RSC but it is different for everyone I guess
The Top Up attachment is actually really good and can be a lot more useful than some may realize. With the gun's low rof it's much easier to keep track of ammo count, but even if you have like 13 bullets left you can just squeeze off those few rounds throw some clips in the magazine instead of replacing the entire mag, essentially acting as quick reload.
Late, but I hate how you have to equip a flash hider to have its effects. Most weapons in the game show their models with flash hiders already thrown on so you should get the bonus at no cost until you remove it.
I would've said that IRNV gets replaced by FLIR because thermal is overall a lot more useful and more versatile per battlefield map in my experience and opinion.
In my opinion optical sights are better used on the federov avtomat and the selbslater 1916 and the experimental mp18 and the SMLE, other than those weapons, I really don't like them on any other weapons
Remember the triple grenade launcher from BF4? Couldn't even kill an enemy with three direct impacts and the blast radious was 2 meters at most. Most useless attachment
Na man the 3gl is great you just gotta know how to use it. I think it's the best of the underslung launchers for anti infantry. I think the lvg the one that bounces around corners is much worse

Kinda surprised the bfv incendiary bullets for the LMG's and MMG's didn't make it into #1

They are only for MMGs and are actually decently effective against aircraft when used on the MG42.

The flash hider is designed to remove or reduce weapon muzzle flash.
Maybe these worst attachments are useful attachments in some cases especially canted iron sights and bayonet
It's more worse as in only useful in some specific scenarios
I thought the canted sights would be useful in BF4 but I usually just stick with the magnifier and a red dot it offered a lot more versatility

Scopes on a double pistols an attachment you literally cannot use

I liked them on dmrs
Agreed I use them quite a lot and they're far more useful than some of the previous stuff on the list.
Quickscoping with them in sniper only servers was fun

The M1 Garand's grenade launcher is a damage topper. You use it to finish off tanks when you run out of your other anti-tank ammo.
