And be lucky enough that you bullet gets the kill and not the much more likely AA

I just realized that after i posted this. Still itd be much better suited for a better weapon than a trench variant.

cheers, I agree, and yes I feel entitled since I (and you ,and many others )paid real cash for premium. I got no problem with challenges to unlock them ,if they’re within reason.

well , for a MG15 (any variant ) or lewis gun suppressive it can be a viable option, but for MGs with low ammo count BAR, madsen, etc. it’s nearly impossible.

Agree again, I say it all the time. I paid you for weapons and then you make me grind for them. Makes perfect sense.

Aye. Even if you and a squadmate manage to do 40 damage, 10 seconds later, Plane is on full health again and rapes infantry with ease.

Small arms damage against airplanes is a big fat joke in this game, the current fast easy repaircycles are part of that.

You all do the somewhat dumb assignments, I just want the new kit I’ve paid for. Yes, I have a sense of entitlement here but I’ve already made an effort by buying premium.

+1…

DICE actually missed a trick here – How many more people would upgrade to Premium if it exempted them from the assignments??

If I wanted a nonstop grind every night and every weekend until 2018, I’d go back to playing GTAV…

Apparently some people don’t think games are fun if they don’t have a constant tedious grind.

This is why I stopped playing gta. Here have a 2 million dollar car with this update, you’ll only have to grind missions for 40 hours to get it

I agree with you. This is a horrible idae to unlock new weapon. Dice, please choose reasonable challenges. Those unreasonable challenges will make the game bad. Many people won’t be playing the objective, because they have to unlock weapon.

Except the Mosin-Nagant was standard issue in the Russian military and given to their soldiers automatically upon enlistment/conscription. Just like Fench troops shouldn’t have to grind for the Lebel.

How does this work? You’re drafted into the army, then have to borrow Dad’s old hunting rifle and earn your stripes in that to prove you’re “worthy” to receive an M16? Maybe no problemo for a skilled marksman like yourself – until you consider the enemy are all using AK47s that were probably purchased for less than the cost of this game…

Killing 3 PEOPLE is enough. In 750 hrs i only have like 13 kills with it. Still fun to whip out once in a while tho..

Maybe go to Monte Grappa and type in chat “hey, anyone wanna team up for the Madsen Trench airplane kill mission”? Will probably get it done in one game.

People seem to approach these things from a lone wolf point-of-view. BF1 is a team/squad-oriented multi-player game, isn’t it?

Doubt that even a squad would get 10 kills, and definitely not evenly distrbuted among them.
