A heads up, if you get the missing weapons on spawn issue do the following:
- Go to the main main battlefield website, login and hit the career tab. You can purchase and equip items on each kit.
There is also a progression bug in the open beta build, this video explains it and the workaround. Changing your kit off of the website is another workaround.

Top Tips:
- If you spawn into the tank (driver/pilot class) press and hold "X" to self repair
- If you are in the default light tank make sure you press "4" to drop big med bags and big ammo crates. It helps a lot as no one really plays support.
- If you have a horse nearby, hop on and press "3" and "4". "3" is a small health pouch and "4" is a ammo pouch. Great when you are hit or need a quick top up.
- Horse riders have 2 light anti-tank grenades. They will regenerate over time.
- When riding a horse, be smooth with turning, the horses will stop if you attempt to turn too quickly.
- If you put down AT mines, they will disappear when you die.
- If you are a medic, the revive icon may not show on the mini-map or HUD.
- If you are a medic, you can revive and heal the hero classes.
- The only hero class that has head shot protection from snipers is the machine gun hero from "F".
- The flamethrower hero shoots farther than you think.
- Work on the assault class first and level to class rank 1 to get the AT Rocket. It will really help with taking tanks out. (Overall Rank is separate to Class Rank)
- Stationary weapons are really good, use them if you can. The howitzer can hit heavy tanks for up to 38 a shot. They can also rotate 360 degrees by pressing "A" or "D".
- If the cap is taking too long, just leave and cap a different point. The conquest point system values points held over time instead of kills done. The common stalemate point is "C", focusing on "G", "F", "D", "A", "B" is preferred. "E" is only really advisable if you have a vehicle.
