I’m asking because I main as a recon and spot flares never fit in the minimap and I was looking to change that. Appreciate your reply. NP. I always PTO ultrahard and never engage or care about enemies further away then 75 meters. As Scout it depends on your playstyle and engagements. ---

After trying out the expanded minimap, zoom radius and toning down the opacity, I can definitely say it improves your awareness. When shooting out flares & spotting enemies at a distance I had to open up the overview to assess the situation everytime, now all the enemies are visible on the minimap and so is the full radius of the spot flare. So, there’s no need to obstruct my screen by expanding the map every time. It definitely helps a lot.. ---

Exor thanks a lot, in like a fortnight my infy k/d went from 4.95 to 5.15 & that’s not exactly easy to do when you have 90k kills.. the mini-map changes coupled with non stop spot flares just makes me aware of every enemy around me all the time. This really upped my game thanks, hopefully I’ll get to 6 infy k/d b4 the end of BF1’s cycle. I only have a support buddy running with me and throwing pouches my way, but no medics to revive me.. ---

Thanks, but it’d be even better if the default map was increased in radius for everyone. I’m betting my teammates see the red general direction pointers in the edges of the map for lit up enemies instead of the red dots with their tiny maps.. What are some of your goals, if any? ---

Mainly to be as good as possible at the game and have fun on the way. Talking in a competitive enviroment and not steamroling/pubstomping. Other then that just keep improving with the RSC, to see how dominant you can be when you reach the highest possible skill with it. ---

So you put the 8.25 to rest then after all those kills? The RSC must be one hell of a weapon to make you switch like that… I would never be able to do that with the M.95, mostly because The Lebel and the upcoming Nagant aren’t going to be anything worth while. Maybe turning tides/apocalypse DLC’s might feature some viable alternatives, for now there’s no point in using anything else personally. But damn, I need to try out the RSC for myself now.. terratubes had like 20k with the M.95 and he stopped using it and switched over to the RSC as well, but you guys both play DOM though whereas I play CQ, so I still need to shoot further than 100+ meters most of the time. We’ll see how it plays out ---

We’ll see how it plays out Yes he also switched with success. It´s working great on Operations for me so should work on CQ also, just change your engagements a bit. AL8 .25 will always be the gun I use when playing competitivly, but needed a change when I play public and my love for the RSC was instantly when TSNP launched. ---

@ProLegion_exor I’ve one more question to ask you and I won’t bother you anymore. I know it might sound stupid, but.. Do you replace the thumbsticks on your controller and if so, how often? It’s just that after I’d say 1.2k hours with the new controller my analog sticks (more specifically the right one) feel completely worn out. Like I have to mess with the deadzone back and forth because the input seems all messed up. Do you buy new ones, then take apart the controller and replace them? ---

You should just stick to other classes and actually help your team if you’re going to be missing over half your shots. aim assist aside, accuracy with rifles means absolutely nothing when you shoot for pilots and try random no-scope pop shots cross map (all about those montage clips).. the only accuracy stat that is somewhat relevant for rifles is headshot/kill ratio, and is often a dead give-away for whether an infantry rifle player abuses aim assist ---

Like I have to mess with the deadzone back and forth because the input seems all messed up. Do you buy new ones, then take apart the controller and replace them? NP, you are not bothering me at all mate. I play with a SCUF 4PS Pro that I got from an sponsor almost 2 years ago. I actually got 2 and the other one is still wrapped in the box. I´ve played around 3.500 hours with it without feeling any change to the response (have to be a ultra rare well build ex).. Don´t know how a DS4 is but can´t imagine it´s worse. The biggest issue I´ve is the blutooth connection wich has some delays and wierd inputs sometimes. A new controller is just launched and can be directly wired and played thru USB connection on the PS4. ---

Holy crap you made a lot of kills with that weapon that’s for sure!! WOW. I stick to one weapon generally. I don’t understand people that uses different weapons all the time. That is like being a jack of all trades master of none. ---
