A solid soflam squad in a transport chopper can absolutely destroy a lobby, but whenever I try to soflam nobody ever seems to actually lock on and shoot at the vehicles😭
I will say after playing this game for 3 years… you need to run with friends. You can’t trust randoms to play off your SOFLAM opportunities. Just two heroes can pull down an air force if they’re working together
Yeah, find some people to run with. I've had maybe two games where it's worked with randoms. One was the holy grail: my random squad team switched to engi's and miraculously one became support. I nearly cried as we then took out vehicles together.
You don't need soflam 1 dedicated stinger soldier is more than enough to make any average pilot disengage 90% of the matches length... Balance or whatever they call it
You’re most welcome - vehicles are my absolute favourite thing about BF. Playing in or against them, they set the series apart from all other titles in my opinion. Glad to be of service!
Nice to see you make Stingers work. Feels like if you are alone using them, and the pilots are veterans, it can be hard to survive very long (or get all that many kills). When I use stingers, it's mainly to scare off/obstruct the opposing air force. Still, this was inspiring. I'll have another go (especially when playing with people I know - although many I play with are very runny-gunny infantry focused).
Stingers need numbers to be effective, as one hit isn’t going to cut it and a good pilot won’t give you a chance for the second. Show your friends this vid, if you’ve got a squad of 4 then you can get two Pondhawks in the air & really go hunting. I’m sure they’ll be up for it when they get their chance to take revenge on all the Nightbirds! Really pleased you found it useful, that’s what it’s all about. I’m still amazed how huge a game BF actually is.
Great vid and welcome back! I’ve got to give it to the Stingers, being able to get high easily on Pondies & chase down aircraft hiding at the edges of the map - doing the people’s work with that one!
Great vid once again! SOFLAM is the strongest gadget in the game imo. Having a friend with SOFLAM is also the best counter against other helos or jets when I'm in a nightbird: Either swap seat and lock on with RPG or do it with the ATGM directly.
Good tips! When I’m defending my NB, I always take Lis. Too many free shots on others coming to get us. Also gives you the repair tool in hand. A SOFLAM would be great too but my friends are always ducking and diving all over the place, at least using Lis doesn’t give me a headache 😅
Love the squad play timeless! 👌It hurts me to see you play with what feels like a 500ms ping^^. I love listening to Captain having fun, he's a lovely guy 🙂
Captain is great, and you know what I learnt? He’s actually a bit of a secret jet pilot - we had some good runs! The lag is fine when it’s Vehicles / stuff like this, but I can’t even hit the tanker in Stranded with an NTW or Lissile with these numbers - the shots just enter another dimension 😅 Thanks for letting me borrow the Knul Crew for the pre stream games 🫡
@@timelessgamer_UK I see him from time to time in a Draugr 👀I can only imagine... if my ping is above 100 i would prefer not to play no matter what^^ I see the boys are doing an awesome job. Keep it up!
I fly myself I’ve been up against it too - but it’s one of the few ways you can actually get a pilot that’s playing it safe in an attack vehicle. Especially on larger maps in Breakaway - there’s just too much cover / distance at the edges of the map to catch them with any conventional means or without leaning on Lis
Against aircraft both do the same amount of damage, but the M5 comes with one extra missile. The RPG is heavier hitting so if you engage ground vehicles too, the RPG will perform better. If I know we’re going to dig in and go for aircraft I take the M5. If my SOFLAM buddies are mobile / we’re going after objectives, I take the RPG so I have a better chance in a ground vehicle clash. Hope that helps
We tried Lis the other time, I think that was a little too much to ask work first time players! SOFLAM works, it’s fun and it doesn’t need a PhD to pull it off. You guys should have another crack at BF, it’s good fun!
When I play Hazard Zone (yep, I do think it's under appreciated, even though that's understandable, what with the few updates made to the game mode), I sometimes chuck out an ammo box when jumping on the extract transport, and it _does_ give you ammo, even though it's a bit unreliable).
As much as I love killing Helis, I also quite enjoy just soflamming them, I don't mind not getting credit for the kill as long as they die :D Also I gotta remember to watch my swearing when playing with people who run a youtube channel :P
People got to be themselves when it’s squad play - it’s no bother taking out the odd F bomb. I only do it because my son watches the channel and the last thing I need is him charging into his mother’s room laughing his ass off shouting “DADDY TOLD HIM TO GO F* HIMSELF”. This is the path the ruin 😅 Thanks for being you, it was a pleasure to play as always. Let’s get some more rounds in as the timezones allow. Good proof fun can be had even at crazy pings
You know I did play it in August, but I was so underwhelmed by it I decided to pull the video & wait to see if the December full Beta was any better. As it stood in August, I think it’s a terrible game - especially from a vehicle player’s point of view. I’ll try again but if it’s the same? I don’t think it’ll be more than a 10h max passing intrigue. You?
@ if it releases someday on consoles I will play it. Otherwise i just enjoy watching other player. I’m asking because I really like your content and style
I played in the last event back in… when, now I think was it October actually? It was really bad and I didn’t want to do a sh*t talking vid so I let it pass. I’ll have another look and see if they’ve fixed it at all
Can’t say I’ve heard the term stondhog-ing before, but I do know like me you love your Attack Helis 😂 On these big maps, it’s really difficult to take out a good pilot. I know a few reaaaally dark tricks but for what it’s worth, I left them out of the video 😅 I’ll only do those when I’m convinced I’m up against a hacker 😈
"No no I don't want it! You don't know me, I don't like youuuu" Adding to the bank of Ziph qoutes 😄Too funny
Ziph had some great lines as always :D
'any price to get a nightbird''' i felt that in my heart
I would say one of the few “truths” of BF2042. Suffer not the Nightbird to farm you

It’s the best gameplay out there - nothing beats a BF squad

Thank you for helping me get better look and better play style with all the vehicles. No enemy vehicles is safe around you. Love your videos :)

stinger on the edge of map is called edging BTW.
Given that’s got another meaning, I’ll try to think of another phrase 😅
i love playing in your squads games cause it feels like playing redacted every map
Squad play is the best play

Power of a squad, nice video
The squad is all - can even make someone like me look good.
It’s a legit strat, but I fucking hate pondhawk stingers, especially as a transport pilot

What's the difference between the M5 and the RPG when using Soflam locking?
Against aircraft both do the same amount of damage, but the M5 comes with one extra missile. The RPG is heavier hitting so if you engage ground vehicles too, the RPG will perform better. If I know we’re going to dig in and go for aircraft I take the M5. If my SOFLAM buddies are mobile / we’re going after objectives, I take the RPG so I have a better chance in a ground vehicle clash.

Nice one :) I really hope they give SOFLAMing and Tracer Darting some love in the next game, its kind of boring for the Recon player.
end of the day someone's got to take the hit for the squad and use it. Just pass it to the left at the end of each round, that's about all we can do!
My vote goes to SOFLAM, because between the two squad types THAT was the only one that we personally got working. 😂
We tried Lis the other time, I think that was a little too much to ask work first time players! SOFLAM works, it’s fun and it doesn’t need a PhD to pull it off. You guys should have another crack at BF, it’s good fun!

None at all

多谢😊
18:14 Hold up? I'll have to see if I have footage. I said that because I got kill notification for me?!
If you do, that’ll be BF’s first confirmed Quantum Kill
Really wish I had friends to try STAFF shells with 🥺
Join KrazyKnul’s server, you’ll find people for sure. I’ll happily run with you if we can set up a time
Come on over there is a bunch of people from around the world. They will be someone around.
Is it possible to place Ammo on transport drone to receive extra rockets right in the air?
Never tried, but what you can do if you get lucky (it’s a bit glitchy) is put an ammo pouch on the back of a Pondhawk…
@@timelessgamer_UK If you can manage to make it stick, it won't replenish ammo unless the pondhawk is unoccupied. This applies to any vehicle.
When I play Hazard Zone (yep, I do think it's under appreciated, even though that's understandable, what with the few updates made to the game mode), I sometimes chuck out an ammo box when jumping on the extract transport, and it _does_ give you ammo, even though it's a bit unreliable).
oh rip the stingerhawk has gone public lol 🤣 why?!
They started it with their Nightbirds and dive bombing Kerosene Draugrs 😅
