Hello, Battlefield V players, and welcome to the May Update!
This is a quality of life update that addresses issues that have been mentioned within the Battlefield community. The Firestorm map of Halvøy has also gotten multiple changes as our battle royale experience keeps evolving – read all about it in our Firestorm Improvements article.
As per popular request, we’ve done some tweaks to the lighting on soldiers in dark areas to improve visibility. For more details on this, please see our post on Reddit.
Thank you for playing and see you on the battlefield!

Added the reloading icon which was missing when using the Churchill MK VII 95MM Howitzer specialization.
Fixed an issue which would cause players to fall slightly below the ground when going into the bleed out state after getting killed while in a plane.
Improved the turning rates for planes. Bombers should no longer be able to out-turn fighter planes.
Fixed a bug that would cause airplanes to not resupply under certain conditions.
Changed irreparable damage multiplier on rocket vs fighter from 1.8 to 0.18. This fixes the issue of rockets dealing a too high percentage of their damage as irreparable damage when damaging fighters. This change now brings rockets in line with other forms of damage, and players will be able to self-repair their fighter planes after getting hit by a rocket.
Fixed an issue that would randomly cause camera shakes and bumps when in a tank in first person view.
While in a vehicle the splash damage indicators that appear when damage is taken from anti- tank weapons now show the correct direction.
Passengers that exit your tank no longer block your shots while playing the entry/exit animation state.
New visual dust effects have been added when tanks fire their main cannons.
Fixed a bug that would enable the JU-88 A to automatically get resupplied without passing the resupply station.
Improved the animation when a player jumps out of the JU-88 A. The camera will now have smoother movement and less stutter when the exit animation plays.
Improvements to the lighting on soldiers, this is a shader that makes third person soldiers a bit more visible when in dark areas. This change is only applied to Multiplayer and Firestorm. If you would like to learn about this in more detail, please read this article.
In all seriousness something probably did need to be done to help the fighters out a bit (I say that as someone who mostly flies the JU88C). My concern though is that things will just go the opposite way now.
when the requirement for the last mastery assignment of semi-automatic and self-loading rifles will be changed?
why not ask for 25 kills in a round or 70 kill in PvP as the new weapons?
Why are you reversing all the selling points that was made on the introduction of BF5 ?!?!?! Attrition, Physical interaction, Immersion???
1.Immersion is gone with the stupid light around the soldiers like in bf4 and the passive spot when close to enemy. then whats the point of camos?! 2.Physical interaction is gone with the healing radius of crates. 3.Attrition is gone with the new grabbing mechanic… even it was easier to get ammo than the previous Battlefields before the new grabbing mechanic.
Hope there’s someone here who can justify these changes from dice team…
I like that they finaly tooked care of the Tiger skin. Its just cosmetic, but i had bine realy bothered by that.
Still curious if people will have to replay it if they already got all the letters but ended up in the glitch
After noticing an increase in the rampant cheating, we have now assigned a team of mods that will immediately review multiple cheating reports and act accordingly.
Players caught cheating are banned from all EA titles.
Players caught cheating are hardware banned.
Players caught cheating are ID banned and will not be able to make further purchases of EA titles using their name, credit card or any other piece of info that matches our databases.
2 factor authentication and hardware authentication are now mandatory for all players.
Playing recon here and the Krag Jorgensen is messed up badly.
I have almost never no animation when reloading the weapon, I cannot tell what is going on when I try to aim and nothing happens.
I uninstall and reinstalled the game reinstalled it clean but nothing improved.
