They need to work on the squad leader interface. It's so annoying I tend to just switch squads when I become SL. Marking an objective shouldn't be the same as spot ffs.

I agree, and it becomes super annoying when playing as a recon or spotting from aircraft.

You bailed out after that one match last night. Things started to get good.
Yeah, the wife wanted me to watch a movie with her.

They had the roofs locked down on Zavod and were chewing our team up, bleh! It figures that after I left the next round would go your way. LOL

I still spam Q in HC, as you will still get spotting points if somebody does kill them.
And if anyone is using mortars or mobile artillery, the spotted enemies show up on their screen. I always spot regardless of what Im playing, its pure habit now.

This may be a dumb question, but as I don't use mortar/mobile artillery, does firing your weapon without a silencer on HC servers cause you to show up on their screens? I know it does on Normal mode and I know it use to do that in BF3.

You should have seen a few rounds later when they had both roofs locked down hard on Lancang Damn. It was brutal, but we still did good and only lost by like 4 tickets or something. It was a real nail biter! I love that game mode and its just about all I like doing any more.

Yep, firing any un-silenced weapon will light up your location for a few seconds, so it makes those camping snipers easy targets. I sometimes pull out the mortar when playing domination or rush, but usually only if my team is either getting trounced or dominating. Its a blast to use when teams are stalemated and people are stacked up on top of each other, just gotta watch out for your teammates/friendly fire on HC.

Edit: Ive barely used the mobile arty, I think I have 1 kill with it. LOL

Incorrect. The only effect not using a silencer has on hardcore is making your gun louder for sound directional purposes. There are no enemy markers or minimap on true hardcore servers.

While there is no a mini map, the mortars and mobile arty are controlled by what looks a PDA screen that will have friendlies, and spotted enemies marked even on HC servers. Try them and can see for yourself when an unsuppressed enemy weapon fires.

In hardcore, all spotted infantry and non-suppressed weapons will show up by pressing the M key.

Last night it was like I was firing blanks again. I don't get it, ping was the same, other players had similar pings to normal and yet I was loosing every face to face battle and I was really struggling to finish people off before I ran out of bullets!

The ShadowPlay video shows that my accuracy was fine, I was shooting at the targets and locally it showed I was hitting them, yet they just were not dying. Yet the past week or so its been great, I haven't had this problem and I have been doing well, but last night it sucked. Still bugs in the netcode.....

This.

I love setting up with a 240B on a bipod and my mortar deployed. Spot guys first, then open fire with the 240. If they manage to make it to cover just switch to the mortar and nuke their ass. :ninja:

I had this happen on a server over the weekend. I was losing every heads up gunfight and could barely maintain an even KDR. I left the server and rejoined later with a friend and I was fine, but after a few rounds my buddy had the exact same BS start on his end.

My friends and I have this happen every now and then also. It seems to us to be 100% specific server related. Our solution after a round of this happening is to find a new server and the problem always seems to go away. It is like some servers have a sync issue.

Odd thing is that server is one of my favourites, I have players it a lot over the last week. I don't doubt its an issue resolvable with a reconnect to a different server but its also worth noting its a transient problem, it isn't specific servers but particular connection a to a server or maybe certain reboots of a server.

I had this same problem last night as well. I think I went 5-20 or something. I changed servers and it I modestly improved to 17-22... I just quit playing after that point.

One of the original reasons I stopped playing around January was because of this stupid bug and now last night it was back. I seriously hope it was temporary and that these real fixes to the netcode appear soon because its deeply frustrating to burst 31 bullets at someone close up and find you didn't even knock the health down to half and the recording shows they should have been dead after just 5 bullets.
